I stayed at the Star Express in March 2012 and paid about US$80 a night. The hotel is 30 minutes by taxi from the international airport serving Istanbul. Overall, this is a small, neighborhood hotel just off the lively Taksim Square in downtown Istanbul. It is NOT a business hotel, so under normal circumstances I would not recommend this facility....

The locations is perfect, very near from Taksim (3 min. walking), and in a very quiet street. I booked through booking.com, and I payed for a room 50 euros for two people. The room was good, not very big, but clean, new, and with good views from the last floor. I find it cute, and knowing how are the prices... More

The service is really bad, the receptionist doens't speak english, so when I had to check out the, the guy from the reception had to call the manager , who is the only one there who speaks english. The breakfast is very poor. There is only one elevator at the hotel, so we had to go to our 7th floor... More

I actually stayed in this hotel from 29 sept 2011 to 3 oct 2011. Having read some of the reviews we were a bit nervous about our decision to book the hotel. On arrival we were pleasantly surprised with the hotel (despite the scaffolding outside for a paint job). The reception staff were friendly and efficient and had good English.... More

Nice and clean hotel located centrally just down the hill from Taksim Square. Room was quite small, but had everything we needed. It was my second time staying here, and would certainly stay again - hotels in Istanbul can be hit and miss, but this is quite adequate for the mid-range tourist, with its location being a very big plus.
