Great experience from this hotel – highly recommended! The staff are very friendly, and the rooms are cozy and comfortable. Interior design is great, and even though the hotel is located in a lively area, you can still sleep peacefully without any disturbance. Overall, a fantastic experience in every aspect. Special thanks to Mr. Veysi Dagon – he is an absolutely amazing person! 👏👏

Miki 10.0

I had such a fantastic stay at The Public Hotel! From the moment I arrived, the staff were absolutely lovely — warm, welcoming, and genuinely eager to help. They went above and beyond, whether it was letting me grab a coffee even though I was a bit late for breakfast or generously upgrading my room. Every interaction felt thoughtful and sweet, which made my stay all the more special. The hotel itself is stunning. My room was spacious, beautifully designed, and so comfortable I could have happily stayed in bed for days. The bed was unbelievably cozy, and the linens felt luxurious. The shower was another highlight — the umbrella-style rain shower with plenty of hot water made every morning a true pleasure. Another big plus is the location. The hotel is very central and it was so easy to get to all the bars, restaurants, and everything I wanted to explore just by walking. It really made enjoying the city effortless.

Mohamed 9.0

Location was incredibly good, right at the heart of istiklal street 10 mins walk right is teksim square and 10 mins left is galata tower hotel staff was great, good modern style hotel we stayed in the senior suite, very worth it for the price

Omar 10.0

Even though I only stayed for one night, the staff were very helpful and amazing, they allowed me to keep my luggage at the hotel for 4 nights prior to my stay as I was travelling to another city. The room was fantastic very rustinc decor and very clean, staff were incredibly helpful and nice. Also the location is amazing of course right in the heart of Istiklak street, I was worried about the reviews talking about noise at night but I did not face that issue. I will defintely be staying there my next time in Istanbul
