Lush Hotel - Special Class - Istanbul

Courteous and attentive staff make sure all your needs are met and more. Can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay. The location was great, the hotel looked almost brand new, and the amenities were top notch. I would happily stay here again.

Very nice hotel and GREAT staff! Location is very ideal at Taksim Square.

Having booked a so-called junior room we could not expect luxury, but the room was extremely small, very little room for storage and not a single chair. Small bathroom, but beautifully thick towels that were changed every day! OK cleaning. Friendly and service minded staff. Very good breakfast!

Excellent staff and good location in Taksim. Second stay at this hotel and feel the staff offers five star service. I would not recommend an upgrade to jr. suite, not worth the extra money. The front desk staff was friendly, helpful and attentive to my needs. Breakfast was good and restaurant was clean. Great experience!

The staff made the hotel. The were all very helpful, friendly and fun. The front desk staff gave a "5 star" level service. I would not upgrade to a "jr suite" next time, not worth the extra money. However, the staff did offer to move me to a room more "comfortable". I found it not necessary. The breakfast was good, reataurant was clean and staff was […] effecient and friendly. The location was perfect for my stay in the Taksim area. They arranged for taxi, tours and dining suggestions. Building was old but the room was clean. Lisateave

This just is not a 4 star Hotel. The rooms are so badly laid out (I was in 3 of them ) and far,far too small , lacking amenities. The product just is not good enough for a 4 star ranking. My 3rd time in Istanbul and will not be going back there in a few months , when I return. No parking , so when a taxi picks you up you take your life in your hands […] so as not to get hit by traffic. Staff lovely - product at fault. Lisateave

The hotel has become rundown. I have stayed here numerous times and this will be the last time. The hotel needs a major face lift and it is a shame because it could be a jewel!

We stayed at the hotel for three days in November and we were pleasantly surprised by how courteous and friendly the staff was. When we first checked in and went up to the room we were a little dissapointed with the size of the room. We came down and requested for an upgrade expecting additional charges but the manager upgraded us for no charge without […] any discussions at all. The rooms were very clean and they use one of the better toiletteries that we have found in comparable hotels. It's a small hotel but I think that's a standard in Istanbul. The location was also very convenient and close to one of the main streets in the newer part of Istanbul. Overall a great experience. Would love to be back. Lisateave

This is a unique hotel in an excellent location. Rooms are varied and unique. Makes for a special stay! Good breakfast and nice courtyard to enjoy a evening cigar. Excellent spa located within the hotel. Will stay again.

I stayed 3 nights and booked a Jr room with a single bed. If traveling in the US, I would stay at places like the Mariott Courtyard Inn. Using that as a base, Location - Very close to the main action on Isteklal Cad. Walk to restaurants, clubs, shops etc. The place to be at night. Also close to bus stations and transportation. Only caution - tram (light […] rail), the most convenient mode of transportation, is a 15 min walk downhill. Coming back uphill could be a bit of a drag. Hotel - Small boutique, essentially a place to sleep. Room was located in the back; no view, despite marketing pitch that it comes with a street view. Clean, with newer decor - modern Ikea type furnishings. Even though a Jr., the size was adequate with a dbl bed, which was comfortable. Bathroom was modern and clean (very imp to me) and the wifi worked like a charm. Amenities - A heated spa on the top floor was in good condition. The concierge, however, was very pushy, trying to set me up for an over-priced massage. Wish they would back off from this. Breakfast was served in a restaurant downstairs - it was more than adequate for a morning start with a variety of fruits, cheeses, cereal, eggs, breads and the like. Overall, expect a clean, pleasant, modern place to spend nights, close to everything the city offers. At the right price, I would certainly stay here again. Lisateave

This hotel is in a really great location, but two warnings: 1. They have a disco that goes until 4 AM, and you can hear the music from pretty much anywhere in the hotel. If you are jetlagged or tired from a long day, this sucks. 2. There appear to be some communications issues between hotels.com and the hotel staff, so make sure you contact the hotel […] ahead of time to confirm your details... or you may be stuck at registration for over an hour.

Lush Hotel is just what it advertises itself to be--a great cosmopolitan boutique hotel. All the rooms are different, but aim for modern urban design. If you have appreciation for this sort of establishment and enjoy urban living, this is the place for you. If you were looking for a budget American Hilton-hotel option, yes, you may be disappointed by […] its scale and maybe should look for the big name hotels by the river...but for those who have been to NYC boutique hotels, e.g., it will seem quite large. Also, we asked for our room to be at the top of the hotel, in order to have some distance from street level noise. There, on the top/5th floor the rooms are smaller and the ceiling won't be as high, but we thought our room was still spacious enough with clean, modern features and comfort. The rooms on the floors below are significantly larger and have loft height ceilings. Previous posts may have mentioned a loud club, but that was not at all the case during our stay--the bar was quiet and civilized. The hotel itself is clean, chic, and has friendly staff that go out of their way to be helpful. The two best features about this hotel aside from affordable price relative to design features and amenities (rainforest shower heads, flat screen HDTV, free wifi, l'occitane products, etc) are: 1) Central location for experiencing the city--it is within a less than 5 min walk to the Taksim square subway stop and is only one block over from the big shopping street Istiklal Caddesi. With many of Beyoglu's great cafes and restaurants in walking distance. At the same time, it's tucked away enough to be not too noisy (at least not from our top floor hotel room facing the back) 2) Great breakfast buffet--the daily buffet includes delicious fresh fruit and a selection of tasty Turkish cheeses and breads, as well as a rotating variety of warm egg and starch dishes, among others. In this town, there are certainly a good number of nice boutique hotels, but many are quite expensive. Lisateave

I would never give this hotel more than ** , it is not comfortable and badly furnished while Hotel com gave them four star which I consider misleading to Customers. We stayed 3 days and we experienced lot of inconvinece that we did not when previously were in Istanbul

The room was off a busy street with honking cars thorughout the night, the only way to sleep was to shut all windows and turn the air on which made the room stuffy. If not for the traffic noise it would be nice, had very good breakfast.

This was a perfect hotel for the weekend we spent in Istanbul. The staff was kind and helpful. The room was nice and clean, and had everything you need. It's close to Istiklal and communications. The bad was the bed being a little too hard and the sound from the traffic could be heard all through the night.

There is only one problem with the Lush Hotel...and it's name is Dada Discotheque... on the same building. The music was very cool, but if your are planning not to dance, maybe having the music all over the room at 2:30 am is too much.

Brilliant location just off Taksim Square so in the middle of it all yet once inside it's peaceful. All staff were absolutely lovely and the breakfast is great. Looking forward to our next visit!

I have never spent this much money on a hotel before but I never felt it was money wasted. Everyone was friendly, the hotel has a good style and it is situated in a great part of town. There is plenty of night life just of Isiktal St and if you want to go to the other parts of town the metro is just a short walk in Taksim square.

This hotel was well worth what we paid - stylish, comfortable and the breakfast was great. Above all, the location is perfect for a short stay in Istanbul. The staff were good too but, like most of Turkey, their English wasn't great.

From the reviews and hotel pictures I expected a lot more from the hotel. It is at convinient location, yet it can get very noisy during night (sleeping) hours.

Bildene av Lush Hotel som presenteres på hotels.com passer ikke med vår opplevelse av hotellet. Rommet var lite og trangt, i motsetning til hva vi forventet. Hotellets betjening var villige til å bytte rommet, men de rommene som var ledige var slitte så vi valgte derfor å beholde det opprinnelige rommet. Hotellets betjening var svært positive og ytte […] veldig god service. Dog, dette er ikke et 4-stjerners hotell, men betegnes som pensjon i Istanbul Visitors Guide. Lisateave

Beliggenhet og hotellet var veldig greit, - bortsett fra rommet. Det var "knøtt lite". Vanskelig for to personer å bevege seg og det var ikke noe sted å sitte bortsett fra sengen. Vi fant ikke igjen rommet fra bilder i presentasjonen

Situation intéressante Personnel très accueillant Qualité de l'hôtellerie

Die Lage war für uns perfekt, da wir auch bis spät in die Nacht unterwegs waren (Taksim ist der beste Ort zum shoppen und für den Ausgang), war es für uns wichtig in der Nacht schnell im Hotel zu sein und man hat nur ca. 5 Minuten zu Fuss vom Taksim Platz. Um Sehenswürdigkeiten anzuschauen sind wir meistens zu Fuss unterwegs gewesen, weil alles so gut […] gelegen ist. Lisateave

İkinci kalışımız personelin ilgisi ve güler yüzü,yaşanılan sıkıntılara müdahalele tepkileri hızlı. Sevdik ve umarım tekrar kalacağız. Ankaradan istanbula her geldiğimde tercih edeceğim. Taksime yakınlığı işlerimi çok kolaylaştırıyor.

Otel'in komforu ve yeri super, rahat etmeniz icin hersey var, genelde odalari bir cok otelden daha genis. ve dizayn da cok farkli, ilginc. Kotu tarafi konuk kabul edemiyorsunuz, konugunuzu lobby'de tutup da kimligini kopya ederlerse, 15 dakikan var geri gelmen icin derlerse sakin sasmayin. Bu konuda hic misafirperver degiller. Bu tarafini hic sevme […] dim. Lisateave

Bij aankomst kregen we een kamer aan voorkant hotel - mini en lawaaierig super veel langskomend verkeer. Na klacht netje behandeld geupgrade naar 5e etage. Van prachtige sprookjesachtige hal naar idem kamer. Erg mooi en comfortabel. Prachtige plek in stad. Parijse buurt met veel genietende mensen! Doen! ;)

Meget spennende hotell, med helt unike rom. Vi bodde på den enkleste typen, men selv det hadde helt egen utsmykning og pynt som gjorde det personlig og spesielt. Stort pluss at de hadde "utrstyrspakke til han og henne" på badet. Fargerik og sjarmerende bakhage/bar og hyggelig personell. Vil absolutt anbefale dette hotellet, selv om strømmen gikk 2 ganger. […] Men de ordnet fort opp i det når man ga beskjed. De større rommene og suitene så helt fantastiske ut. Lisateave

Super schönes Hotel im modernen Design und sehr sauber. Wegen der guten und zentralen Lage zwar etwas lauter (hat uns aber nicht gestört), aber dafür erreicht man alles prima zu Fuß oder mit den öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln. Personal war sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Frühstück war gut und Zimmer waren sehr sauber. Für den Preis war es einfach nur super. […] Bekamen sogar jeden Tag eine kleine Süßigkeit aufs Zimmer :) Super Hotel, rundum zufrieden, wir würden jeder Zeit wieder kommen. Lisateave

the standard rooms are very small.. but good breakfast... very close to taksım and istiklal.. is next to a busy road.. so a lot of car noise.. otherwise good!

Hotellet håller någorlunda hög klass med trevliga rum och kunnig personal. Små men annorlunda rum, rent och fräscht. Högljutt på kvällen vilket gör det svårt att sova. Om ni måste till Istanbul så kan jag rekomendera hotellet. Istanbul är en av de värsta städerna jag varit i. Smutsigt, dyrt och otrevligt. Dom som rekomenderar staden har antagligen […] inga andra resmål att jämföra med. Blev utsatta för bedrägeriförsök på restauranger såväl som butiker och cafén. Hemskt dålig mat även på de dyrare ställena. Var tvungen att bo här pga jobb men rekomenderar definitivt inte staden för en semester. Lisateave

Das Hotel Lush ist ein nettes "Design-Hotel" mit nettem Personal und sehr sauber. Das Frühstück ausreichend und gut. Allerdings könnte die Auswahl größer sein. Die Lage einerseits sehr gut zentral gelegen, keine 5 Minuten bis zum Taksimplatz und der Istiklal Cadessi (Einkaufsstrasse mit unzähligen Geschäften, Lokalen und Bars), andererseits durch die […] zentrale Lage sehr laut. Bei offenem Fenster kann man nicht schlafen, wobei bei geschlossenem Fenster kein Problem. Ansonsten absolut weiter zu empfehlen. Lisateave

It was perfect with everythink. nice and polite receptionist clean and fresh room, close to istiklal street. absolutly we will visit again. important think for us is safety and comfortability. And lush hotel gave this to us.

Le Lush est une très bonne adresse. Nous avions une toute petite chambre au 4ème, mais très confortable. Le staff est très gentil et le petit déj excellent (et le petit déj, c'est important pour commencer la journée). Seul petit bémol, l'isolation du bruit. Comme on est dans un partie animée de la ville, évidemment beaucoup de trafic (vivent la technique […] du klaxon) et de bruit de rue, que l'on entend un peu trop malheureusement, malgré des fenêtres qui semblent de bonne qualité. Ca ne nous a pas beaucoup dérangé, mais c'est bon à savoir pour les gens au sommeil léger qui ne supportent pas les boules quiès pour dormir... Lisateave

Väldigt trevligt hotell, med hjälpsam och vänlig personal. Frukosten var bland de bästa jag ätit, med mycket fräsch frukt. Stämningen är hjälpsam och trevlig och hotellet hade ett mycket bra läge, med promenadavstånd från shopping gatorna och restaurangerna runt omkring Taksim.

Das Hotel liegt in einem sehr lebhaften und abwechslungsreichen Viertel und man kann am Abend herrliche Lokale in unmittelbarer Nähe finden. Als Ausgangspunkt für die Entdeckung der Stadt sehr zu empfehlen! Wir sind außerordentlich nett empfangen worden und das Preis/Leistungsverhältnis ist absolut ok. Das Publikum ist modern, trendig und jung! Das […] Frühstück ist sehr, sehr gut und wirkt auch wenn man später kommt nicht "abgegessen"! Grundsätzlich muss man wissen, dass das Hotel in einem sehr lebhaften Viertel liegt und deshalb ist insbesondere in den Zimmern zur Straße hin der Geräuschpegel Tag und Nacht sehr hoch! Wir würden auf jeden Fall wieder dieses Hotel buchen! Lisateave

Very nice hotel which is located very close to the main shopping street. The staff at the hotel is very friendly and helpful, but basically it is only the staff at the reception desk that speaks English fluently. However, we had no major problems in communicating with the staff generally. I can highly recommend staying at Lush Hotel, but there is […] a lot of traffic noise - especially at night, so remember ear plugs if you sleep lightly. Lisateave

april 2011, De ligging van het hotel is goed. Vlakbij de grote winkelstraat en leuke barretjes. Druk en gezellig. Het hotel is ingericht met een mix van oud en nieuw. Leuke ontbijtzaal en een goed ontbijt. Verse groente, fruit, eitjes en meer. Kamer 417 is ook ingericht met een mix van oud en nieuw. Ziet er wel leuk uit maar is klein. Het bed is ook […] klein. s'Nachts is er heel veel herrie op straat. Neem je oordoppen mee anders doe je geen oog dicht. Ondanks dat is het toch een leuk hotel. Het personeel is vriendelijk en behulpzaam. (tip!) De taxichauffeur bij het Taksimplein vroeg 7 keer zoveel als de taxi die het hotel gebeld had voor ons. Lisateave

Store konfortable rom med vakre detaljer gjorde dette til en luksusopplevelse. Immøtekommende og hjelpsomt personell. Grei beliggenhet i Taksim omraadet.

La chambre "double Deluxe" est étriquée. Seule la douche "eau de pluie" est une bonne surprise. Le petit déjeuner est correct mais pas de viennoiserie ! En somme, le rapport qualité prix est très moyen. Pour à peine plus cher, le Marmara Taksim propose une qualité bien supérieure, et une vue sublime.
