Lir Residence Suites LONG STAY

Very clean and is closed to Taksim square where we started our sightseeing in Istanbul

It is difficult to parking our car with narrow street.

This was my third stay at this hotel, and once again, I had a very pleasant experience. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help whenever needed. The suite was very clean, comfortable, and well equipped, with kitchen facilities available for anyone who would like to prepare their own meals. The location is excellent, very close to Taksim Square and Istiklal Street. I stayed with my parents, who are both over 65. The hotel is located at the bottom of a hill, so walking uphill from the hotel may be difficult for elderly guests or anyone with mobility issues. However, we used Uber during our stay and had no problems at all. You can also book a taxi or ask the hotel to help you book a taxi.

The only negative point was that the internet connection was very slow and could be improved.

Parking

Spacious apartment with kitchenette, washing machine

Location is extremely poor. Approach is up/down hill which is steep. No public transport nearby except for taxis who often refuse to go there or charge 3 times. Approach from one side is through a 75 to 100 steps climb. Not recommended for anybody with health issues, knee problem, elderly. This property does not serve any food and hence you will have to walk through this difficult terrain for any needs. It is not a daily serviced apartment and hence they do not provide water, tea, coffee, cleaning, etc. except only once when you check-in upon request. Except for the apartment size there are no other plus points.
