About
Residence Le Reve
Residence Le Reve is a compact, 12-room aparthotel tucked into a residential street in Beyoglu, one of Istanbul's most lively districts. It sits within a short walk of Taksim Square, Istiklal Street, and the Tophane tramway, which makes getting to the old city straightforward. The property was recently renovated, and guests describe the rooms as spacious, bright, and well equipped.
Every room comes with a kitchen or kitchenette — including a kettle, cookware, and dining table — which travellers use to prepare their own meals. Several rooms open onto balconies with sea views, and the staff earn repeated mentions for their helpfulness, from restaurant tips to practical advice for families. The ground floor has a concierge desk, luggage storage, and 24-hour security, and there is paid airport shuttle service and car rental available.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Staff consistently praised for helpfulness — Guests repeatedly mention the team going out of their way — from restaurant and club recommendations to practical family tips. One review calls the manager 'Akn' a highlight of the stay.
- Kitchen-equipped rooms for self-catering — Each room includes a kitchen or kitchenette with kettle, cookware and dining table. Several guests highlight saving money by cooking their own meals, and one suggests skipping the paid breakfast in favour of the in-room kitchen.
- Strong location near Taksim and the tram — A 3-minute walk to the tramway station and about 10 minutes to Taksim Square. Guests appreciate being close to Istiklal Street, Galata Tower and a promenade, yet on a quiet residential street.
- Sea views from many rooms — Several guests specifically call out the sea view — from queen suites to private balconies — as a highlight, with one saying the photos don't do it justice.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Breakfast not worth the extra cost — One guest found the paid breakfast poor value at 10 EUR per person per day, and recommends cooking your own in the room instead.
- Rooms score lower than staff and location — The Rooms category gets 6.9, and Facilities 6.4 — the two weakest scores. One guest noted the blanket was too small for the bed, a minor comfort issue.
- Limited on-site facilities — With just 12 rooms and no restaurant or fitness centre, the hotel is basic beyond the rooms. Guests who want more than a room and a concierge may find it sparse.
- Check-in window ends at midnight — Check-in runs from 14:00 to 23:59. If you arrive after midnight, you'll need to arrange this with the hotel in advance.

7.3Verified guest“The room was spacious and full of light, with a nice sea view — despite the photos not doing it justice at first glance.”
7.3Verified guest“Great view, clean, and very close to the metro station.”
7.3Verified guest“Recently renovated place in a fantastic spot right where locals gather, near Taksim Square, Istiklal Street, Galata Tower, and Galata Bridge. Overall a good experience.”
7.3Verified guest“The double room was bright with a work desk, multi-channel TV, and sitting area. The staff were excellent. The location is magnificent — close to Galata Bridge, with restaurants, supermarkets, and a lovely promenade nearby.”
7.3Verified guest“Good-sized room with new, quality furniture; the mattress was comfortable, but the blanket was a bit small (2.00 instead of 2.50 wide). The baby cot was safe and clean. Nice warm shower and a hairdryer. Good location in a safe neighbourhood not far from Istiklal Caddesi and the tram stop to the old city. Several breakfast bars nearby — we especially recommend Van Kahvalti cafe.”
7.3Verified guest“Our room had a TV with satellite channels, climate control, and an individual safe.”
