We had a terrible experience. The shower and toilet in the bathroom were broken, everything except the bedding was filthy and dirty, and the furniture was broken and stained. There was no elevator. The staff was helpful, but the hotel is in terrible condition. It doesn't deserve its stars.

The best thing about Hotel Utarit is its location. Just a minute’s walk from Taksim Square, it’s perfect for exploring Istanbul, with trams, funiculars, taxis and ferries nearby, and major attractions walkable within about an hour. The immediate area is full of cafés, restaurants and shops, yet the street itself is surprisingly quiet. Room 6, where we stayed, has a private balcony with afternoon and evening sun, a very comfortable bed with high-quality linen, and strong Wi-Fi. However, the room needs attention. The air conditioning struggles in the day and only cools properly after sunset. Some sockets spark when used, the shower tray leaks heavily, and the shower head was broken most of the stay, only replaced on the final evening. The harsh ceiling light makes the room feel clinical, and the paintwork looks tired. Noise from a neighbour’s TV is audible in the bathroom but not the bedroom, and the heavy main door downstairs shuts loudly, though this wasn’t disruptive on the third floor. Housekeeping was consistent and staff were polite, helpful and spoke good English, though maintenance issues were slow to be resolved. With only six rooms, the hotel feels private and safe, though it can be tricky to spot — look for Tom Yum restaurant and a taxi office next door. With some repairs and cosmetic updates, this could be great value, but in its current state it falls short despite the excellent location.

I strongly recommend this place. The perfect location and spacious room made me want to stay longer:) The receptionist, Asım was so friendly, thoughtful and always responded immediately:) He takes care of every tiny details you might need. Thanks again for making my stay comfortable:) I definitely going to stay here again when i come to Istanbul:)

As someone who travels frequently, I can confidently say that this hotel was the best I've ever stayed in. While I won't go on about the location since it's evident from the map, it was the service that truly stood out during our entire trip. We needed a place to stay between flights and randomly chose this hotel based on its location. However, our first flight was significantly delayed, and we arrived in Istanbul at 1 am. To our pleasant surprise, the hotel had contacted us via the booking service and even left a note on the door with instructions for self-check-in. We called the number they provided and they guided us through the process, even at such a late hour. The following day, we requested an extra hour for check-out to finish some business, and the hotel graciously granted our request. They also helped us with our luggage and provided advice on the best way to get to the airport. They even negotiated with a taxi on our behalf. The room itself was cozy and immaculately clean, and the location was superb. However, it was the exceptional service that truly made our stay memorable. If we ever need to return to Istanbul, we won't even consider any other hotel. To the hotel staff, if you're reading this, please know that you made our short stay the best it could possibly be. We will definitely be coming back!

The hotel room is cleaned every day the location is perfect the hotel has good glazed windows very quiet the staff are very helpful and friendly service . I would stay there again next time we are in Istanbul

First of all i would thank the guy on tge reception i don't know his name but he was super friendly he helped us with our luggage carrying them to the room , weighting them before going to the airport he is fluent in English the hotel location is 1 min Walking distance from istikla street and 2 mins from the Metro station we took a small room with 2 bed the room service is beyond perfect ! There is a woman with a beautiful smile who cleans the room each time after we left the hotel to start our journey !! If u really want a small room that was our option there is bigger rooms this hotel does the job perfectly

Small clean and comfortable. Friendly staff. Great location

The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was simple but nice , comfortable and clean. The location was very excellence, near metro and shopping area. We arrived taksim to the point hotel by airport shuttle bus. From here to to hotel us about 700m , it is walkabke but you would need Gps or a map. No body on the street or staff of the hotel nearby will know the location of it. Taking a taxi you would also show them the map as the utarit is a small hotel. The fare is about 10 tl and you need bargain if the driver refuse using meter.
