About

Three Apples Taksim Residence

Three Apples Taksim Residence operates as a serviced apartment in the Kocatepe district, roughly a five-minute walk from Taksim Square. The property sits on a residential street that some guests describe as unpolished, though they consistently note it is safe and lively with shops and local families.

Rooms are set up for longer stays, with kitchens (dishwasher, hob, microwave, fridge-freezer) and modern furniture. The residence shares its reception with Three Apples Suites, a few hundred meters away, and some guests found that arrangement confusing. There is no elevator, but staff are repeatedly praised for carrying luggage and being helpful.

“If you want a great dinner, try Sehzade Restaurant nearby. The prices were pleasantly reasonable. A characterful base for exploring Istiklal street.”

7.1Verified guest

“Location is very close to Suleymaniye Mosque. The small balcony was a bonus. The staff were very useful.”

7.1Verified guest

“Great value for money. We stayed ten nights and the studio had everything we needed for a long stay. Clean and comfortable. Staff really do their best. Location is excellent – just five minutes from Taksim Square. The street itself looks a bit rough, but it's safe: locals and kids are always around, and there are many small shops.”

7.1Verified guest

“The room was convenient, the bed comfortable, and everything worked – air conditioning, hair dryer, kettle.”

7.1Verified guest

“Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. They upgraded us to a bigger suite without asking and free of charge. Location is convenient for Taksim shopping and a short walk to public transport. Less than half an hour to the old town via metro/funicular to Kabatas then tram to Sultanahmet. Rooms are very clean with new, comfortable furniture. Having a private bathroom and well-equipped kitchen in the suite was very convenient.”

7.1Verified guest

“+ Close to Taksim Square + well-equipped apartment (big TV, AC, kitchen) + balcony with a nice view on the top floor + friendly and helpful staff + good value for money – would stay again.”
