Dirty and noisy
Location is great. Don’t expect to have good sleep as down stairs of this hotel is all restaurants and bars. You will hear loud party music daily until 2am in the morning, then city cleaning crews comes daily to clean street and makes their cleaning noise until early morning. With noise issue mosquitoes also a big problem at night. As soon. As you turn off your lights, you will hear mosquito noises and will bite marks in the morning.During our stay found live slug inside the bathroom cabinet. There were dust balls with hair all over room. Overall without location this hotel does not have any other pros to recommend. Receptionists in the morning were not friendly and keep asking to take their taxi services, even though you will get cheaper taxi on the street.

The staff were wonderful. However, be aware that there is now a club just below and to one side on the Istikal side of the hotel. Driving electronic dance music till 3:30-4 AM every night. The local police have been bribed to not enforce noise bylaws. We stayed 2 nights in a street facing room. No sleep possible until the club closed. Once in a back side room it was quiet. Only book back side!

The hotel was right on the busy shopping street, and my room had a cute little balcony overlooking this street. The decor was modern chic, and the bed very comfortable. Riza at the reception was helpful at check in, and loaned me a transportation card in response to my question as to where I can purchase one. Breakfast was just across the street in an alley cafe. Overall, a very pleasant experience.

I chose this location on Istiklal Street since it is close to many shops, and restaurant. Unfortunately, the taxi driver dropped me in an awkward location where I had to log my luggage and climb, several steps to get to the hotel. Great place to stay for a short vacation. Just make sure that you are dropped in area that is walkable to the hotel. The staff are very helpful. The entrance is tiny, but they would help you carry your luggage upstairs.

We enjoyed staying at Magnova Studios. The location is great as the entrance is directly from Istiklal street. The management and everyone who works there were very helpful. There was no problem in communicating with them. We enjoyed sitting in the balcony and enjoying the views. However, the coffee maker could have been cleaner, rest everything was fine.

Perfect place to stay in Istiklal
We had an organization in Istiklal Street therefore Magnova had the best location for us. It is also near to all famous places. All the staff in reception were so kind and helpful. Thanks to all of them. The design of the room was so nice, we liked it a lot. The size of the bed was huge, and it was so comfortable. The small balcony had a nice view of the street. The only problem with the location was the noise. It is not related with Magnova, because Istiklal is a 7/24 living street. We liked the energy of the staff, the room, and the wonderful Istiklal. Magnova will be definitely our choice again in our next visit.

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!

Magnova Stay Jan 17-20, 2024
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.

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.
