Room Mate Emir, Istanbul

My stay at Emir Room Mate Hotel was absolutely wonderful and beyond expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth, professionalism, and genuine hospitality. The room was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and extremely comfortable. We especially appreciated the attention to detail—from the cozy bedding to the thoughtful amenities that made our stay feel extra special. It was clear that the staff takes pride in maintaining high standards of cleanliness and comfort. What truly made the experience unforgettable was the amazing service. Every member of the team was friendly, helpful, and always available with a smile. They went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed and even offered great recommendations for places to visit and eat in the area. The location was also perfect—peaceful yet close to everything we wanted to see. It was a great base for exploring, and we felt safe and relaxed throughout our stay. We left with beautiful memories and full satisfaction. Thank you, Emir Room Mate Hotel, for making our trip so special. We will definitely return and recommend it to anyone looking for comfort, care, and an unforgettable stay. 💖

The location was great on a side road just off istiklal street. A short walk to the taksim metro station. The hotel aesthetic was very pretty and the room was quite large. The check in and check out process was really easy. They do also keep your bags if you have a late flight and need to wander around after you check out. The only issue we had was that the soundproofing in the room was not great. We could hear the people in the next room. We could also hear the upstairs neighbors when they walked up and down or moved stuff.

I had a very pleasant stay in RME. We stayed in a junior suite which was a very comfortable and spacious. the interior was also very unique and beautiful. the location is perfect, just a 5 minutes walk from istiklal street. It's also a 10-15 minutes walk to a bus stop and 2 metro stations. the street itself is lively and has multiple eating joints which are open until late. Despite that, there is no noise issue inside the hotel. The only drawback was that the toilet's equipment seemed a little old. the shower heads were not the best. also the available shampoo and conditioner weren't of the best quality and watered down. a new toilet would really revamp the whole place. A suggestion to the hotel, there was unfortunately no full length mirror in the room. it would be very helpful to have one. Other than that, this was a lovely stay, the staff was extremely helpful and nice. I would definitely want to stay here again!

Me and my friend spent 2 nights here. I really liked this hotel. Service was impeccable, the location is nice, the rooms were very good, comfortable beds, very powerful hair drier and a good iron with an ironing board right in the room. We stayed at the deluxe room with a big bathtub. I’d like to point out that that room had a large long sink with two taps which made it veeery comfortable for two girls to get ready at the same time. The reception, hall, lounge, even the stairs and the elevator are beautifully decorated. There is also a small terrace, unfortunately it needs renovation, but still offers a nice view both at the day and night. Location: easy to find, close to Istiklal street and Taksim metro, but quiet during the night. On the right, there are streets filled with artisan/antique shops and small art galleries. 10/10. Note there is a steep climb if you approach the hotel not from the Istiklal street. Staff: super friendly and helpful. I would definitely come here again and it’s totally worth the money.

I had a truly wonderful experience staying at this hotel. I absolutely fell in love with the design of the space—it was incredibly artistic, and every corner had its own unique charm and beauty. The hotel was spotless, the staff were exceptionally professional and friendly, and everything was of excellent quality. Staying here was such a pleasant and memorable experience for me. I would definitely love to come back!

Before we do check-in, I heard it is a nice hotel. But when went inside oh my it was so so more than just nice, we loved our duplex room, the hotel atmosphere and unique design as well as the location in a live alley only 5 mins walk to Istiklal street. Big Lobby in a different spaces, and quiet to let us hang out with our family for hours. Above and beyond that, their friendly staff and great services, and super kind day manager who everyday willing to make a tasty cold coffee or turk coffee. Really had a best experience there, and will be our Istanbul staying spot for each trip there. Thanks Room Mate Emir Hotel Team!

Room Mate Emir, Istanbul: I pen reviews post checkout for balanced perspectives, but I thought I’d hash this out for those looking to book. It’s night 4 of the 5 nights we booked, and I was too exhausted to type. Don’t let the shiny pictures on the site, insouciant Spanish vibes and booking engines fool you. It’s a bit of a lipstick on a pig situation here. For what you’re about to shell out, everything falls short. It was a toss-up between this and McGallery for us and I feel that hot flush of regret. So here goes the succinct points:||Pros:||1. In the heart of Beyoglu, the hip trendy area where the cute cafes, restaurants, bars, quaint antique shops are. |2. The check-in area is gorgeous – it sets the false tones of a premium experience. There is a lobby area too with playful and stylissimo furniture. |3. Depending on the room type you get – we had a suite and at first impression, we were wowed. |4. The early evening shift duo staff are lovely – they tried to compensate for the litany of shortcomings. ||Cons:||1. The room floor is very dirty – our feet were so dirtied the white bathmat turned brown. |2. Fittings and furnishings are pretty worn out – our bedside lights were broken with lamps resting on our pillows. Some sockets don’t work. You hafta hunt down the ones that do. |3. Water and bar items are super expensive. Unlike most hotels, they don’t give you complimentary room water.|4. Toiletries – toiletries dispensers are disheveled. Shower gel dispenser is a hard push for tiny squirts. At some points, the dispenser sank down. Conditioner seems watered down with water. Your hair becomes straw like. We also ran out of hair conditioner day 4, despite reminders for top-ups. Shower heads are odd – it’s between a handheld or super massive rain shower. You constantly get your hair and inside of your ears wet. |5. Bath towels are thin and smell funky – not of hotel quality. |6. Here’s what super miffed me. I booked Room Mate Emir as there was a gym, sauna and surprisingly, there’s a mini hammam. But all these are in the dark basement below with no AC. So, you can’t work out without suffocating. The sweet reception staff turned on the sauna for me twice but it’s creepy in the basement and the entire area looks like it’s been abandoned. ||I hope this helps your decision making. #eatstylishtravelstylish
