Heya Hotel

This was my first time in Turkey, and coming from a third-tier city, I found prices quite high, so I booked this hotel. We arrived at 10 AM on an early flight, and Mohammed at the front desk was very accommodating, allowing us to check in early to rest and adjust to the time difference. Today, as we were leaving, he was on duty again and granted us a late check-out. Such warm and handsome service staff made us feel incredibly welcome. The breakfast was decent; it helped us get our vitamins and protein, as fresh vegetables are somewhat scarce in Turkey. The hotel's location is very convenient, just a five-minute walk to the M2 subway station.

Highly recommend Heya Hotel! The front desk staff was incredibly warm and attentive, even writing down the breakfast times and Wi-Fi password for me – so thoughtful! The location is excellent. There are direct airport shuttles to and from both IST New Airport and SAW Sabiha Airport, and the hotel is just a 6-minute walk from the drop-off point. It's a 10-minute walk to Istiklal Avenue shopping area and a 5-minute walk to the metro station. There are plenty of restaurants nearby, plus a Carrefour supermarket for convenient shopping. The entrance has ample space, so pre-booked transfer vehicles can pull right up to the hotel door. The breakfast even caters to Chinese tastes. Staying here made my trip hassle-free and convenient!

The location is good, making it convenient to get to Kabataş Port and Taksim Square. The only downside of the hotel, partly, is the breakfast itself. The dining area is on the second basement floor, where the Wi-Fi doesn't work, and it's a bit dirty – we encountered sticky floors and dirty plates. The food selection is average; don't expect anything outstanding, just a standard breakfast. Overall, we chose it for its close proximity to Taksim. If, like us, you need to be close to the square and the ferry station, then this is definitely the best value for money.

The staff greets you like a best friend! They're super friendly and helpful with everything. The design is lovely, and breakfast is great. Highly recommend!

The room was great, with a fantastic view of the city. Ahmet, the attendant, even gave us a small gift.

Close to Taksim Square, about a 5-minute walk from the airport shuttle. Muhammed at reception was the best employee! The room was also very clean.

We chose the HEYA hotel and weren't disappointed. We picked it based on the great reviews and high ratings. The location is excellent, just a couple of minutes' walk from Taksim Square. There are plenty of grocery stores, good cafes, and currency exchange offices with favorable rates nearby. ATMs are also available, and as of June 2026, UnionPay cards work for cash withdrawals. Generally, UnionPay isn't widely accepted elsewhere, only in a few shops. The rooms have daily housekeeping, everything is clean, and the bed is very comfortable, soft, and spotless. Every day after cleaning, they leave two 0.5L bottles of water. The breakfasts are very good; we never left hungry. Breakfast is served from 7:30 AM to 10:00 AM. There are always fresh vegetables, eggs, sausages, green and black olives, salads, various cold cuts, muffins, and a large selection of jams, coffee, and different teas. The hotel is small and has an elevator. The atmosphere is pleasant. The staff is very polite and friendly; a big thank you to Mohammed. If I'm lucky enough to visit Istanbul again, I wouldn't hesitate to stay at HEYA hotel once more.

I initially booked for a week and was so pleased with the environment and convenience for getting around that I extended my stay for another week. I'm personally very satisfied. I remember on my first day, I asked the front desk about getting a transport card, and later, one of the hotel staff took me to exchange currency, where I got a great rate. Although we communicated through a chat app, they were incredibly patient. Choosing to stay here made me feel very at ease.
