Great experience at The Public. Great staff, comfortable space the breakfast in the morning at many different options. The hotel is centrally located in Taksim so it was easy to get around the city. Great restaurants and shopping very close by an easy walk or taxi to various sites. I highly recommend it. I had a great stay.
Great location, very friendly staff. The hotel was very clean and had a great breakfast selection although those expecting a full English will be disappointed but they cater to the international traveller. Extremely good value for money. The location is also excellent upon arrival our concerns where it may be noises however the room was extremely quiet and great air con too. Would definitely return.
I really enjoyed my stay here. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Attending to every request properly. I couldn’t have dreamt of a more perfect Hotel to stay at. Best location in this area. Thanks for making my vacation unforgettable.
The hotel was clean, and we were given a complimentary room upgrade. Breakfast was good. The area around the hotel is full of attractions and busy streets with a lively, energetic vibe, especially for young people. The hotel design is nice, although it used to be better in the past. Parking is very difficult to find, and even taxis can only wait a few seconds for you because the area is so crowded. The staff were helpful, but their service could have been more professional.

Quirky industrial style hotel
Arrived slightly early so accepted the wait for a room. Returning some 2 hours later and into the check-in hours, room still not ready. A further 15 minutes wait. When allocated room was informed we’d been upgraded. Nice surprise. Getting into the room - can’t understand what the upgrade was. Nice size room, but dusty and slight smell of drain. Strange set-up to the bathroom where you need to pass through the shower to get to the loo. Comfortable bed. One TV channel in English which played the same news report on a loop for the couple of days we were there, really ridiculous. The key card indicated 24/7 room service which led us to believe we could order a meal at round midnight when we came to the room. Well- surprise- there’s 4 DRINKS on room service and NO food. Complained- and response was- order from outside. What the heck! Really unacceptable/ then state you’ve got no room service! Staff at front desk were friendly, which was a saving grace. Restaurant for breakfast was cozy and nice selection on offer including great omelettes. Very busy side street on which the entrance is daily had rubbish piled high- awful to have to trudge past it to get to the door. Surely this garbage can be moved away from the area, poor reflection on Hotel The Public. So - in summary- this can ge a great little place if little changes can be made. Location is just a minute from Istiklal Street, which is awesome.
I really enjoyed my stay!
The location was perfect — very central and easily accessible to all the main attractions in Istanbul, whether on foot or by public transport. The hotel staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything I needed.
A special shoutout to Emin, Mert, and Nihat — they truly went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable and enjoyable. Their kindness and professionalism made a big difference.
The price was also very reasonable for the quality of service and location, which made the experience even better.
I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Istanbul, and I’d happily stay here again!
The area is loud late into the evening, but nothing we couldn't solve with some earplugs. staff was very courtious and helpful. very professional. we would stay there again

Noisy hotel
Rooms although a good design are very tired and need a face lift. Shower head in my room needs a proper clean and descale. Breakfast is very average at best. Staff helpful at reception. The nearby nightclub is very noisy with thumping music making sleep difficult!
