Every detail was great, check-in was good, really enjoyable. Even though some of the staff were very unhelpful, I had a really comfortable stay. The hotel had a very central location and it was an easy walk to Madame Tussauds. The venue was a useful base for enjoying a central area.

    During my recent stay at Ikonik, I encountered a small issue with the room size, but the modern and contemporary design made up for it. The location was unbeatable, with everything within walking distance. The staff were all very helpful and spoke excellent English. I highly recommend this hotel.

    I had a fantastic stay in this hotel in the heart of the city. The location was ideal; it was in the centre of everything I could want and close to the main Taksim square. The hotel facilities and cleanliness were impressive; my room was clean, tidy, and had all the necessary amenities available. I also appreciated the hotel staff; they were friendly, cooperative, and provided excellent customer service. Additionally, the hotel was conveniently located near the tram line, which goes straight into the old town, making it easy to explore and commute around the city.

    It was all superb.

    I had a great stay at Ikonik. The location was amazing with easy access to local attractions. The hotel itself was beautifully renovated, giving it a boutique feel. The facilities and comfort were on par with a 4-star hotel. The bed was comfortable and the AC worked well. I loved having a coffee machine with quality capsules in the room. The staff, from reception to baristas, were all friendly and ready to assist. The daily housekeeping was meticulous and I enjoyed complimentary coffee at the lobby bar. I had an amazing experience and would definitely stay here again.

    The cleanliness of the room and bathroom could be improved. The breakfast could also benefit from the inclusion of more local Turkish bakery products.

    The hotel is conveniently located in the center, just a short walk from Taksim Square and Istiklal shopping street. The rooms are well-equipped with comfortable beds, air conditioning, and modern bathrooms with rain showers. The staff is friendly and provides excellent service. The breakfast options are limited but tasty, and the facility offers modern amenities for travelers.

    The hotel can be difficult for cabs to locate, and some rooms may not offer a city view.

    Great location directly on Istiklal Road with nearby restaurants, cafes, and metro. Polite and helpful staff. Clean and neat rooms with nice decoration. Free upgrade to a premium room. Nespresso coffee machine.

    The interior design of the hotel and the room is brilliant, the best I've ever stayed in. They really know how to make it look stylish and comfortable. And the staff are very friendly and helpful, always there with a smile. Also, the location is a major plus. It's right in the heart of the city, close to all the major attractions and just a short walk from the main shopping street.

    There were a few things that disappointed me. The cleaning service was not up to par.

    I recently stayed at this venue, and I must say that my experience was terrific. The location is the biggest plus for me as it's situated right in the center and everything is available nearby. The staff were amazing and have the best customer service from the first minute you check in. They even do great omelettes on request. Additionally, the amenities were top-notch that included an indoor and outdoor swimming pool, spa & wellness center, and entertainment facilities.

    All in all, I would highly recommend this hotel to all.

    As adventure travelers, we loved the hotel's contemporary decor and modern feel. The location was perfect, with Taskim Square, Galata Tower, and Istiklal Kaddesi all within walking distance. The showers were clean and powerful, providing a refreshing experience. The larger rooms are recommended for a more comfortable stay. The reception staff, especially Emre, were friendly, professional, and personable. a highly recommended hotel with great people and a fantastic location.

    Felt very at home, no complaints whatsoever.

    Great location, right in the heart of the city, close to shopping, dining, and nightlife. The room was beautifully designed and felt luxurious. The check-in process was smooth and we were able to check in early.

    The room did not match the pictures, some aspects were not as advertised. The bathroom floor became wet and slippery when showering.
