I had a pretty good stay overall at Stay Lab Taksim. The location is unbeatable-right on Istiklal street, which is super lively but comes with its own noise issues, especially if you're on the lower floors. The room was modern and cozy, with stylish touches like a trendy bathroom and an awesome rainforest shower. Just watch out for the club vibe if you're a light sleeper!

I had a great experience at Stay Lab Taksim, with a spacious and stylish room that was super clean and well-designed. The location is just perfect, right next to Taksim Square, making it easy to explore. However, the noise from the street can be a bit much, and the cafe area can get pretty crowded at times.

My stay at Stay Lab Taksim was pretty nice, though it could've been better. The location is prime, right on Istiklal Street, which can be super busy and noisy, but that's part of the fun. I did have an unpleasant experience with one staff member at breakfast, which kinda soured things a bit. However, most of the other staff were really friendly and helpful, especially the ones at the reception.

Breakfast was a bit limited, only a coffee and sandwich from the cafe downstairs, but the rooftop view while eating made it worth it.

The hotel offered decent facilities, like a rooftop area with stunning views, but I missed some basic amenities like a kettle in the room.

I had a really nice stay at Stay Lab Taksim. The staff were incredibly friendly and made me feel welcome. The location was excellent, right near bustling Istiklal Street. However, I faced some noise issues from a nearby club that kept me up late at times, and the app-based door system was a bit inconvenient for me.

The facilities were quite decent, though I think it could be improved by having accessible stairs since the elevator was often busy. A fridge would have also been nice for convenience.

I had a pretty decent stay at Stay Lab Taksim. The location is super convenient, right off Istiklal Street, but the noise from the nearby nightclub can be a real headache, especially if you're on a lower floor. My room was modern and clean with a cool rainfall shower, but the lack of space and amenities like a fridge made it a bit challenging at times.

This place is in the heart of the action on Istiklal Street, so you're close to tons of bars and shops. Just be prepared for some nightlife noise if you're on a lower floor.
