  Trendy Hotel

  30 Jun 2016

  Republika is a very trendy and clean hotel which literally felt like your own appartment. The appartment had everything and the furniture was also very trendy. The breakfast and dinners were simple but it tasted good. Furthermore had the Republika everything: tennis, swimmingpool, gym, restaurant, etc.

  Comfortable Service Apartment

  10 Jan 2016

  I was staying in a pent house service apartment on the top floor at this property for 4 weeks. The property is located in the industrial area and is about 1.5 hours from downtown. There is a bus stop as you step out of the hotel, which connects to the metrobus stops. Taxi is also available. The rooms are very spacious and provide a great view of the lake. The accommodation has a cafe which provides breakfast and other meals. The choice for breakfast is very limited and almost the same menu is there throughout. The pent house rooms provided all facilities as provided in other hotels including toiletries and linen. The property is home to many students from across turkey and europe and is basically a hostel. Only few floors are ordinary rooms which are part of the hotel service provided.

  Big Rooms, Cheap, Dirty

  14 Sept 2015

  I've stayed in Replika for 3 occasions, each time for around 3-4 weeks.Generally the rooms are nice and big enough for one, the penthouses are great for 2 people. The Location is far away from everything, it will take you around 2 hours by bus to go to the center of Istanbul, 1,5 - ? by car, depending on the traffic. As it is directly next to a busy multilane road, it is very noisy on the street side of the tower.Be aware that it is a student apartment building, therefore there will be a lot of noise. The quality of the rooms is okay for turkey, you can expect things to be broken or never been installed properly. The cleanliness of the rooms after being cleaned is terrible. I would say if you have a change tell the reception that you don't want your room to be cleaned and do it yourself. I had black mould in my bathroom and the floor was so dirty didn't dare to walk around bare foot. Well, it is cheap, and that's what you get. Wouldn't book it for any private travel.

  Perfect accomodation for a long term stay

  07 Sept 2015

  I have lived here for 5 months and my stay was excellent. The location it is perfect for students who study in the universities close to this area of Istanbul, for interns or business people. The staff is very helpful, everything is clean, the gym and the pool are a big plus. There is a restaurant downstairs with turkish and international food as well.

  Will stay there again if we have a car

  25 Jun 2014

  The amenities are very good probably because Republika is catered for student long stays. However, short-term visitors might not have access to all of them. We wanted to use the coin laundry machines, but the clerk said they were only for long-stay residents and advised us to use their laundry service. Republika is far away from Sultanahmet and other main tourist attractions. We had our own car and we did not use the bus. I will probably return only if I have a car.The breakfast were not very good and the foods were almost gone an hour before closing. WIFI was sporadic.
