About

Home Of Istanbul

Home Of Istanbul sits on Kazanci Yokusu, roughly a 5-minute walk from Istiklal Street, placing you in the middle of Istanbul's most animated neighbourhood. The 4-star property is also about 25 minutes on foot from Topkapi Palace's harem museum, so much of the old city is within reach without a taxi.

The hotel pairs a garden and patio with practical touches like a safety deposit box and 24-hour security. Rooms come with soundproofing, tea and coffee facilities, and some have balconies overlooking the courtyard. Breakfast is served daily and guests consistently call out the milk, cereal, and cheese spread.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

5 reasons to book
  • Unbeatable location — Just a 5-minute walk from Istiklal Street and near Taksim Square, shops, supermarkets, and the tram station.
  • Spacious rooms — Guests highlight large bathrooms, open kitchens, and sitting areas, making the suites feel more like apartments.
  • Friendly and helpful staff — Staff are consistently described as welcoming, attentive, and ready to assist, with one guest noting a staff member who played with their baby.
  • Breakfast included — The daily breakfast with milk, cereal, and cheese is frequently praised as a pleasant perk.
  • Garden and patio — A quiet courtyard and garden area provide a peaceful escape from the busy streets.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Uphill walk from the hotel — The hotel sits on a slope, and some guests found the walk back up challenging, especially with luggage or children.
  • Limited breakfast variety — While the included breakfast is appreciated, a few guests noted the options are limited and somewhat repetitive.
  • Late check-in window — Check-in begins at 23:00, which is unusually late and may not suit travellers arriving earlier in the day.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, which could be a drawback for those travelling with animals.
