This hotel is ideally located to be close to Istiklal Blvd, Karakoy ferry terminal, Galata Bridge, and many of the desirable tourist spots on the European side. You can walk to most of these locations or take the tram. The hotel is in a restored historic building and has all of the amenities one would need. The staff was attentive and helpful. The breakfast was great with many options for the international traveller. I will def be staying here again!

The rooms are so nice and we had a great view. We didn't purposely find something that was on the water since we knew we were going to be playing an Istanbul that day. They let us keep our luggage there and even called a cab for us when we were late getting back to the airport since we had been out all day. They were great hosts and I would definitely recommend them. You need to stay on this part of town.

Great weekend stay

Great central location, but away from the ‘tourist’ spot. Clean (couldn’t fault it!), well-kept building, with friendly staff. If you’re looking for somewhere other than a branded name, give this place a try.
This was their ‘cosy’ double room.
Bathroom - might not be suitable if sharing with friends (due to privacy of glass)

Lovely property and exceptional helpful staff; I remember Nergiz and Nikita who went out of the way to answer our questions. I cannot remember the name of the person who checked us in but he recommended a really good kebab place close to the hotel. It can be noisy till late because of the various food and drink options close by.

I loved staying at the Soul Hotel. The staff was so nice and helpful. I was a solo traveler so the hotel room was small but it was the perfect size for me. I felt safe on the hotel's location and it was near public transportation for the tourist attractions. The only thing is that my window was by the outside fire escape stairwell so I was just a little nervous about that.

Nice Boutique Hotel in Taksim

Staff were extremely polite and welcoming. General cleanliness of the hotel was very high. There was a decent selection of self serve breakfast on offer with cold meats, pastry, fruit, cereal, etc. There was a small menu to order eggs, waffle and pancakes. Rooms were also clean with extremely comfortable beds and pillows, which was a delight after long days exploring Istanbul. Only down side is there is no wardrobes or rails to hang clothes so you’ll be living out of a suitcase whilst you stay at this hotel. Some rooms were a little smaller than others.
