PROS -Hotel is nicely decorated, they gave us a beverage upon check-in and communication was great between us and the hotel -Rooftop room was spacious and we surprisingly never hit our heads on any beams -Great location for shopping CONS -Bed was supposed to be a king, but it was not. It was bigger than a queen but it was an odd size. -Bathroom/shower area was VERY small. Could barely turn around inside the bathroom. Water leaked out from the shower into the toilet area. Detachable shower head was broken and had a leak between the handle and where the hose connected so it never worked. Smallest bathroom I've ever seen -Hotel did arrange our airport transfers but never let us know that it would need to be cash only when departing for our outbound flight the next morning. They did work with us but it would have been great to know this in advance since our transportation leaving for the airport was at 5 AM. -NOISE! Noise from the street below continued well into the night and this was on a weekday. It was mostly music from somewhere on the street (we were on the 5th floor) and it did keep me up throughout the night. -Rooftop terrace doesn't have too great of a view, but I expected that. The tiles could be cleaner out there.

I didnā€™t receive an upgrade because I donā€™t believe I was told about it in advance. So when I had the chance to check in early in a standard rate room I took it. Not know I was upgraded. Same with the wine. It was in the room but I wasnā€™t told it was for me. I thought I had to pay for it if I wanted it. Itā€™s nice but you should let people know.

The day before arriving they switch our rooms to a building down the street with no lobby. They said the rooms we had booked had no windows, so while the new rooms had a window with a decent view, we were no longer in the hotel and had no lobby or facilities.

Amazing experience staying at Hotel The Public! The service was amazing, and they have a great breakfast offering. The location is perfect and a short walk from Taksim square. We felt very safe, and would like to extend a huge thank you to the gentlemen that work there. When we come back to Istanbul, we will be staying here again!

My recent stay at a purported 4-star hotel was nothing short of disappointing. I had booked a room measuring 22 sq. meters with a king-size bed, only to be assigned a significantly smaller room with a troublesome column obstructing the space. To make matters worse, the king-size bed advertised turned out to be a queen-sized one, and the hotel's explanation that this was a "mistake". Despite acknowledging their "mistake" the hotel agreed only to change the room, maintaining the queen-sized bed. Both rooms I occupied were dimly lit and fell short on cleanliness, with noticeable cobwebs in various corners. The second room presented additional issues, as it suffered from inadequate drainage in the shower, causing water to pool and making access to the toilet a soggy ordeal. The ill-fitting glass door separating the shower from the toilet exacerbated the problem, resulting in more water spilling into the toilet area. Towels provided were showing signs of wear, and bathroom storage space was lacking. Breakfast was another letdown, missing pastries and charging extra for fresh juice. In summary, this hotel failed to live up to its 4-star billing. I strongly advise considering alternative accommodations if possible. The experience was marred by false advertising, cramped and poorly maintained rooms, substandard cleanliness, and a lackluster breakfast. It was a far cry from the expected comforts of a 4-star hotel.

Delara made my stay special with an upgrade to the best room with the best view to Istiklal Street. I will definitely be back to Hotel the Public. ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø

Great Boutique Hotel!!
Itā€™s a great boutique hotel located next to Istiklal Street, accessible to everything. The interior design is eclectic and very cool. Very friendly and helpful personnel. The room we stayed at the rooftop have low ceilings and the bathroom was small, but might not be the case with the guest rooms on the other floors. In general, it was great staying there!!
