If you are the kind of traveller who doesn't stay at the hotel and wants a B&B that is definitelly a good choice!Breakfast was ok but the rooms were far below standard. Clean sheets but filthy carpets, broken bathtubes etc.However...the location is VERY GOOD. just outside taksim square. you can choose some other hotel (the area is full of them.)... More

This is by far one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed at, I would definitely advise against it. This hotel is graded as a 4 star hotel, although it lacks the quality, service and hygiene level of a 2 or 3 star hotel. The rooms are incredibly small and are stuck to each other to the point where... More

Hotel is in a very good and alive location and near the Istiklal walking street which you may find lots of cafes, bars, pubs, clubs and so on.

We visited Lion Hotel for one night in January 2012. The room was clean and rather spacious, the service was polite and discrete. We were amazed by the breakfast which it was delicious and there was a huge variety of food to choose from. I implicitly recommend it!
