I had a pretty good stay overall at Stay Lab Taksim. The location is unbeatable—right on İstiklal street, which is super lively but comes with its own noise issues, especially if you’re on the lower floors. The room was modern and cozy, with stylish touches like a trendy bathroom and an awesome rainforest shower. Just watch out for the club vibe if you're a light sleeper!

My stay at Stay Lab Taksim was pretty nice, though it could've been better. The location is prime, right on Istiklal Street, which can be super busy and noisy, but that's part of the fun. I did have an unpleasant experience with one staff member at breakfast, which kinda soured things a bit. However, most of the other staff were really friendly and helpful, especially the ones at the reception.

I had a pretty decent stay at Stay Lab Taksim. The location is super convenient, right off İstiklal Street, but the noise from the nearby nightclub can be a real headache, especially if you're on a lower floor. My room was modern and clean with a cool rainfall shower, but the lack of space and amenities like a fridge made it a bit challenging at times.
