Here are a few things I would have liked to know before staying here and probably would have chosen a different place. There is a night club or bar right in the area that plays loud music past 3 in the morning. We barely got sleep because of this. The other thing is that the property looks different from the pictures. Those are years old and the current state is in need of some updates. The fridge is old and noisy and a lot of things are very worn. The staff however was absolutely amazing and they location was great as well. We also enjoyed the shared roof too area.

Response from manager on Nov 14, 2018
Dear Ahmed, I am very sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your stay. From your review, I sadly understand we were not up to your expectations. As we are a boutique place with minimal and contemporary design, we prefer not to put out a big sign but again a minimal one, to continue our concept. Also, we try to warn all our possible guests via the details on our Expedia page and our booked guests via the confirmation email you received, that we do not have an elevator; our historical building does not allow us to put one without killing the original look. We gladly assist our upper floor guests with their luggage up the stairs but since you stayed at our entrance floor, no stairs to climb, I assume you did not have a chance to observe that. All our doors are equipped with Kaba keypad lock systems, it does not have nor need an extra inside lock, no-one can enter the room other than the hotel staff like HK for daily cleaning or the manager, in case of emergencies. Also we assure your safety, not only with the locks, but also with all the security cameras and our night guard on duty. Lastly, we do not prefer to force our guests to have breakfast at a certain time frame as every guest have their own wakeup time; so we prefer to keep all breakfast supplies ready at our terrace/lounge area and our guests have the freedom of having it when they like, the way they like. I am only guessing that you may have expected more like a chain-hotel look and style; I again apologize if we were not clear enough in any of our communications and caused you an uncomfortable stay. Thank you very much for your understanding. Our best regards,

Unique concept. Renovated building in Pera neighbourhood with 4 apartments and lounge. Well planned and comfortable. Very close to shops and restaurants. Great value. A different and more comfortable way of living in Istanbul. The staff is amazing. Easy access to everything. Stay here; you will love it.

Great place to stay in Taksim
Excellent place to stay. The location is good, the room was comfortable and well sound proofed. Emrah was very helpful in suggesting restaurants in the area. The top floor terrace was a pleasant place to enjoy coffee and has a full kitchen if you're interested in cooking. There is a detailed description of each of the four rooms and the terrace on the hotel's website.

I'zaz was just perfect for us. The kitchen and rooftop sitting area were a delight. Gave one of us a spot to sit with a cup of Turkish tea without waking the other when jet lag hit. The staff was tremendously helpful and always available. We'll stay there again!

The best place to stay in Instanbul
I have been going to Istanbul for work for 3 years and always struggled to find a place to stay that was not overpriced and in a good location. I’zaz is definitely the best place I have stayed in, and will definitely go back and recommend it to my colleagues. The rooms are as comfortable and clean as in any good and expensive hotel, guests share a kitchen/lounge area that’s on the top floor with an amazing view over the city. You can go and have a few tea or coffee when you have time for a break, and we had dinner there one night when we didn't want to eat out. The location is perfect, very close to a main road so it’s always easy to grab a taxi, and at the same time it’s right in the heart of Beyoglu so it offers endless opportunities for nice dinners out. Staff are all incredibly helpful and friendly, Sadi the manager will always help you and sort things out, no matter what you need. I had the room on the top floor, it’s a bit more expensive but close to the kitchen and has much more light than the one on the ground floor. The road is very small and relatively quiet for being in the centre of Istanbul, even if earplugs were sometimes necessary.

Ideal location
Location is near enough to be a very easy walk from Istiklal shopping and nightlife and centrally located Taksim square, but just far enough to avoid the late night noise. Rooms are very pleasant, modern and serene. The balcony room was sized nicely for a couple and had a tremendous view. All hotel guest can take advantage of the view from the top-floor kitchenette and lounge area. Facility is secured by a guard and managed by a very nice business woman who was flexible with our travel needs that changed on short notice.

Great location and hotel
It is one if the most wonderful place I ever stayed in. It so clean and the funiture is moder and new. The bath room is so stylish and the most great place is the kitchen and the roof where you can see everything and just have a tea or coffee and relex. The staff are really friendly along with owners who did there best to assist me in everything even allowed me to take one of their cats. Sure I will come back soon.

Bel emplacement, tout le reste est moyen
Bel emplacement et accueil était très bien et j'ai reçu les conseils et les bonnes adresses de la personne qui m'a accueilli par contre ma chambre en RDC était très sombre, ayant les fenêtres condamnées sans aucune vue ou rayon de soleil pouvant y pénétrer. Notez bien que ce n'est pas un hôtel, il n'y a aucune réception ou espace d'accueil. Autre bémol, le petit déjeuner est très très basique (lait, céréales, thé, il y a avait une boite de fromage mais sans pain...). En même temps, il n'est pas possible de tenir plus d'un quart d'heure dans l'espace petit déjeuner sur le roof comme il fait super chaud là haut.

Perfect stay at I'zaz
Our stay at I'zaz was absolutely amazing! The location is great (bustling neighborhood, close to the fish bazaar and shopping mile), plenty of good restaurants and bars in close proximity (5-10 minutes of walking) and in walking distance to the tramway which will take you directly to Sultanahmet. I'zaz itself is a very nice house in a quiet and safe street. The rooms are nicely decorated and spacious (we even had a small balcony), and the lounge on the rooftop is really beautiful: it's open to all guests and has access to a small kitchen, food (cereal, milk, juices, etc.), and backgammon games. As to the I'zaz team, we were truly treated like family! My mother and I stayed for almost a week and Hakan helped us with whatever questions we had, gave us a whole list of restaurants, reserved tables for us, and even helped us out with typically "girly stuff", such as mani and pedi places. The whole team was extremely friendly (Zeynep, the owner, always took time to chat with us, Nermin kept our room wonderfully clean, and Ali made sure that we felt safe when we came home at night). So all in all: I'zaz is not just a place you stay at in Istanbul, it's home away from home!

tolles kleines loft-hotel
tolles kleines loft-hotel, mitten in Beyoglu. Lage ist super, direkt im Ausgehviertel, Nevizade mit sehr vielen Restaurants ist keine Minute entfernt, ebenso der Balik Pasaji, ein kleiner Fischmarkt. Zimmer sind super, sehr neu renoviert (und guter Wasserdruck) und sehr sauber. Hatten das Loft im 3ten Stock mit Balkon. Der Besitzer, Sadi, ist sehr bemüht und nett und hat Restaurant und Bar-Tips auf Lager, die immer gut waren und auch nicht in jedem Reiseführer stehen. Waren rundherum zufrieden und können das i'zaz nur weiterempfehlen!

great location, nicely combination of old and new
old, small city house recently fully renovated in design-style layout. Great location, just a side street from the big shopping street in Beyuglo, just 1min from cool upcoming restaurants, bars. Superb friendly and in time service of owner (as it is no hotel/reception type).
