10/10 – A perfect stay! Punto Suite Hotel in Taksim exceeded all my expectations. The location is unbeatable, right in the vibrant heart of Istanbul, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the city. The room was pristine—spotlessly clean and impeccably maintained. What truly made my stay exceptional was Sabrina, the host. She is an absolute gem: cheerful, welcoming, and always ready to assist with a warm smile. Her hospitality made me feel right at home. If you’re looking for a comfortable and centrally located hotel in Istanbul with an incredible host, Punto Suite is the place to be. I can’t wait to return!"

The host was friendly and respectful, I stayed already in his other house then he surprised me with his generosity. He prepares great food and is very thoughtful and helpful, he showed me all other houses and better locations and let me freely pick my choise without getting bored or rush. After hosting me in his own house I decided to stay in this room. The nice guests and atmosphere made me feel safe in both places. The area is vibrant and centrally located.

The owner was sooo nice, friendly, and respectful! The rooms are always clean, and the kitchen and the toilettes, The small garden was so nice and was able to get to know many other people during my stay♡ The owner allowed me to check in early and also allowed me to leave my stuff in the house after checking out since my flight was so late, which made things much easier for me, The owner was so nice and talkative with everyone, which was really sweet♡ I'm definitely coming back again!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.
