I got introduced to this hotel by a friend who had previously stayed there and i must say that i really enjoyed my stay. The hotel is small but very comfortable, with air-conditioning and good showers. The hotel is also a few meters away from the famous Istiklal Street in Taksim square with lots of shopping, pubs, etc. I will... More

We stayed here for a couple of nights on our kebab tour of Istanbul. The hotel is in just about the most central location you could ask for, right in the heart of this throbbing, pulsating, enchanting city. The staff were delightful and very helpful, the room was nice, the breakfast was excellent, really top class and we were within... More

I truly enjoyed my stay at Jakaranda hotel. the location is absolutely perfect and the staff is so friendly and helpful. I had a room on the 3rd floor and my room size was nice. I found this hotel to be clean and comfortable an excellent deal for a great price. I appreciate that the internet was always working. The... More

The pictures are misleading, the hotel is very small. I refused to take the room right behind the front desk and got the room on the first floor, bigger and nicer. Bathroom is small and rather old. Breakfast is very disappointing, we got one plate of food, and that's it, that's all. I was disappointed by the hotel and changed... More

I stayed at the Jakaranda Hotel for 10 days and I have to say that it was a lovely hotel for a great price. I've been in and out of Istanbul for years and stayed at a variety of places from hotels to 5 star premier hotels and Jakaranda has to be one of the few places that I would... More

On my first trip to Turkey, I really lucked-out finding this gem of a hotel at random using Google maps. Jakaranda is an oasis in the heart of the bustling Istaklil Caddesi. If you want to situate near the best of the social scene, but the ability to retreat from the chaos of the pulsing nightlife, this is a great... More

I found the hotel on the internet, and stayed here for a total of 8 days at the start and end of my trip. I would never go elsewhere. Apart from being great value for money, the hotel is small and very personalized. Comfortable beds, air conditioning, great showers. All the staff were extremely helpful and friendly; and as a...

Very nice hotel and staff: Very good location, 3 mins walk from Istiklal street. Rooms are very nice, clean, and comfy. Although it's near from a noisy street, the noise wasn't heard from our rooms. The staff was very caring, friendly & very helpful, they treated us like a family member (so when they tell you welcome to your second... More

A small hotel at a nice location(Taksim Square). Very nice helpful people. I got the offer through Booking.com. Basically u can plan your trip sitting at home and blindly rely internet. I booked my pick up and drop through Sabiha airport shuttle service. Spend one day or 2 day by yourself and the next day travelling within the city will... More
