Magnova Studios Reviews

An extremely clean hotel. Ideal for short stays. If you are a light sleeper, the noise of Istiklal Street can be a problem.

Mükemmel bir oda. Olanaklar çok iyi. Çok beğendim.

Hotel is fantastically situated with loads of bars and restaurants nearby with great vibe but whats best about the hotel is the staff. Muha was just so friendly and helpful. From helping us rent a car to suggesting cool spots to go that didn’t break the bank. He even followed up to find out if we were successful with our car rental and helped with arrangements to have it delivered. So kind. Thank you Muha for everything!

We arrived around midnight and were notified there was an issue with our online booking and the hotel did not have a room ready for us! but they amazingly looked after us by taking us to another Magnova hotel closer to Taksim square wherein we stayed for one week. Great location and awesome staff. Highly recommended. Emre, Yasmina and Metin went above and beyond so we could have a wonderful stay in Istanbul. Thanks for everything guys!

The property is in the middle of everything. Great shops and restaurants. The decor and quality of the room is very nice as was the staff. The room albeit small was cute and loft like. The only problem that we encountered is that there is a nightclub close by that played very very loud music until 4am. We booked the balcony room,#204 that faces the street. We got no sleep the first night, a Wednesday. The following evening the same thing so I had them move us to a room on the back side of the building. You could still hear the music but we were finally able to get some rest. I asked regarding a refund or a discount but the gentleman at the desk said he couldn’t because the music is not a fault of the hotel. I didn’t really find that an acceptable response. I told him that no where in the reviews or information does it say anything about the very loud music or the night club across the street. I’m honestly not one to complain, but as I said, it was impossible to sleep, even with ear plugs. There was also a bit of a debacle with being picked up at the airport, even though I made the arrangements way in advance.

Charming boutique hotel in historic building. Special thanks to the cleaning staff and hotel owner.

Our initial experience with this hotel was positive. The receptionist was polite, and the check-in process was fast. However, a significant drawback was the absence of an elevator. The room was clean, and the view of Istiklal Street was nice. Our unpleasant encounter occurred during checkout with a rude staff member. When we attempted to have the included breakfast before departure, the receptionist questioned its inclusion. In my mother's language (Farsi), he accused me of lying. Frustrated, I showed him my booking information confirming breakfast, to which he responded by claiming it was a joke. The hotel's restaurant was external, requiring a short walk to a nearby café. The staff there, influenced by the hotel receptionist, limited our breakfast, implying they were monitoring expenses. They even suggested extra charges for sandwiches, creating an uncomfortable situation. I won't return to this hotel and don't recommend it to others.

Magnova Studios are very boutique and well appointed. Naseer was so very attentive to all our needs and took good care of us. Ideally located, great little Gem. We will be back for sure

The apartment is right on Istiklal with open roof restaurants below and hustle bustle of crowd, amazing vibe. The only issue was taking the bags around as there is no vehicles allowed in that street however owner MrNazar was helpful to take it up and down the stairs and arranged transfers in vip vehicle.

Great location on Istiklal shopping area with lots of options for shopping and dining. We had a suite and it was convenient. Host Riza was very responsive and available 24/7 to address any concerns.

The staff was amazing. Reza was funny and so nice. The hotel is definitely in the center of action.

The owner and his staff are very accommodating. They help us in every way they can. A very good service is what they offer and that’s all we need. Location is also very good if you love shopping

From the moment I arrived, the staff made sure I was comfortable and well taken care of. They took care of my transfers which is really helpful when traveling to Turkey. Riza, one of the staff members gave me guidance on areas where I can walk safely

Our stay at Magnova Studios in Istanbul was truly memorable. The hotel's location couldn't be better – nestled in the heart of the city, it's surrounded by a wealth of restaurants and shopping stores. Upon entering our room, we were immediately struck by the fantastic interior design. The blend of modern comfort and traditional aesthetics created a warm and inviting atmosphere. The highlight, however, were the beautiful balconies that offered stunning views of the city. What truly set Magnova Studios apart was their exceptional staff. They not only helped secure reservations at the elusive Ruby's restaurant, a true culinary gem, but they also went the extra mile to assist us in finding flowers for my partner, adding a special touch to our stay. One thing to note is that Magnova Studios, being a converted old church building, does not have an elevator. While it might pose a slight inconvenience, it didn't bother us much and added to the hotel's unique charm. Overall, Magnova Studios is a hidden gem in Istanbul. Its excellent location, fantastic interior, beautiful balconies, and the dedication of its staff make it a top choice for a memorable stay in this vibrant city.
