My husband and I had the chance to stay at Homage Istanbul for extended stays on two separate occasions from 2017 to 2019. That was the greatest time we have ever had in Istanbul! We truly felt at home in the beautifully designed, fully-equipped apartment located in the heart of Istanbul. We strolled the scenic rolling streets of Beyoglu daily and enjoyed all that Istanbul had to offer. We were a short walk (3-5 minutes) away from Istiklal street with its lively shops, restaurants, cafes and, of course, warm and friendly people. And we strolled along that lively scene of music and art from Galata Tower to Taksim Square. Homage is also located very close to the subway lines which afforded us the opportunity to explore all of Istanbul conveniently and affordably. The owner Bekir is a great host who truly knows the meaning of the word “hospitality”. His staff is well-trained and personable, and they know how to make your feel welcomed and at home. They offer not only service, but friendship. They are very kind to all the guests and often join you for lunch or dinner when you visit Bekir’s neighborhood restaurant, Cok Cok Thai Restaurant, where you receive that same warmth and hospitality with a Thai flair. We definitely intend to make Homage Istanbul our home away from home for our annual visits to Istanbul.

BOOK IT NOW!!!!!!

I've been remiss in leaving this review so long, but given the insecurity in Turkey, it's important to remind potential visitors that Istanbul is an incredible, wonderful city with the most welcoming people. No more so than the Homage.

This was my second visit and I will return at some point in the future. If I could afford to, I would be there tomorrow. Do not let any issues with perceptions of security put you off. Istanbul is a place were I always feel welcome. Homage is a place where I always feel at home.

Once again, we stayed in the Superior Apartment (please do see my last review for more detail). Again, it was simply superb. Hikmet and the team are always on-hand, with insider knowledge and every available advice. The apartments are divine, filled with character, Turkish-inspired modern design, and a newly furnished roof terrace with wonderful views.

In terms of location - for those Brits who may be concerned about any issue, it is less than 5 mins to the UK Consulate (the biggest I've ever seen). But don't let any issue stop you. Istanbul is safe. Okay, probably best not to go on a political march or rally, but why would you? Would you stop visiting Orlando, Paris, Brussels or London for that matter because things have happened? No, of course you wouldn't. Never allow terrorists to dictate your travel plans - that way, they win. 

For incredible, personal, but not intrusive service, please do book with Homage. For insider knowledge, a welcome like no other and an unforgettable experience, do book with Homage. For something wrapped in hegemonic bubble wrap, book the Radisson.

I cannot be more direct. This is an incredible experience. This is a beautiful apartment, so big and so stylish. This is Istanbul and Homage pulls each and every wonderful aspect of it together in your accommodation.

I cannot wait to return and thank, once again, Hikmet and the outstanding team.

Thanks from James and Christopher.

Best home from home you will ever find!! Book it now!!!

As the name goes, this place really pays homage to what a home should be : warm, cosy, welcoming, convenient, equipped with all the comforts one would expect in a modern home & more. We stayed for 3 nights in a deluxe 2 bedroom suite - beautifully designed & furnished, we were made to feel right at home by the owners Bekir & Hikmet. The duty staff Ali was helpful & always on hand if you needed anything. 

It is located just a stroll away from the busy Istaklal / Taksim area & one feels like being in a very typical local neighbourhood which is slowly being gentrified as buildings along the street are being gradually renovated & spruced up. There are convenient stores, fruit grocers, amazing bakeries & a cute little corner cafe on the same street. The apartment has a fully equipped kitchen & if you feel like cooking up a storm - there are markets and stores where you can find all the necessary raw ingredients. The Sunday food market is nearby and such a treat to wander through. 

There's a nice rooftop garden in the building and a wash machine if you need to do your laundry. The best part of staying at The Homage is being made to feel at home like a local, as the owners & staff are on hand to recommend all the places you should go that's often off the beaten track. The insider information is priceless! This will always be our 1st choice when visiting Istanbul. We loved it so much that we've booked to return for a few weeks later this year! Oh - they have the most comfortable beds & wonderful crisp sheets! Perfect for a good night's rest. 

A most enjoyable stay

"Serviced". Indeed. The owners and staff take great care of you. There was a large bowl of fruit as well as cookies in our apartments when we arrived. It's like getting carefully attended to when staying with a friend of a friend who has very pleasant household help. They were charming and helpful and often offered freshly made coffee and tea.

The apartments are unusually handsome, comfortable and simply furnished. Thirty-five year old beautiful photos of a very different Istanbul hang on the walls. Although our primary interest was searching out food experiences, we did make dinner in a couple of times and the kitchens were adequately furnished. 

The neighborhood is quiet and changing. It's being gradually gentrified so it's still slightly scruffy with a mix of renovated and run down buildings. A new bakery opened while we were there. It always felt safe and is well located for accessing Istanbul. A convenience store, bakeries, a tiny friendly coffee stop and liquor store are close by and lent a great neighborhood feel. Although we did a lot of walking, Uber was terrific. There is a big hotel a couple blocks away where taxis are easy to find and it's a known landmark to instruct a taxi to get you home. 

It was a great base for our first visit to Istanbul. We were a party of 5 and stayed two 2015-2016 winter weeks in two apartments. It could not have been better. Go!

Just Book It

I've now stayed at Homage three times and it's extremely hard to fault. Looking back at 2015's travels all over the world, Homage is once again front and centre as the best place I stayed. 

Bekir and Hekmat were as welcoming as always, getting me fixed up despite the last minute call (we arrived in Istanbul unexpectedly at 2200 for a quick getaway weekend) and no advance notice. As ever, the apartment was cosy, welcoming and the ideal mix of stylish, minimalist escapism. The location is wonderful and has somehow managed to keep its 'hideaway' feel, despite continued rapid development all around. Bekir and Hekmat were full of tips on new openings in the area, including their own super cool new venture just on the other side of Istiklal- ask them about it.
