This property is not even close to a 5 star maybe a low end 4 star. It was nice and moderne but a cheap noisy modern. Water pressure was uneven and would be hot and cold fluctuating. Staff was super friendly and helpful.

The hotel is cosy and location is perfect. The staff is very helpful and also the breakfast staff. The breakfast is good but not too much variety and same everyday. The room is small but overall the experience was good and the location wins.

Nestled just beside the lush expanses of Gezi Parki in Istanbul, Lokalist emerged as a boutique luxury gem that provided a tranquil retreat in the heart of this bustling city. As a solo female traveler, finding a safe, well-located, and welcoming accommodation is paramount, and Lokalist surpassed my expectations, offering a sanctuary with its verdant views and exceptional service. The service at Lokalist was notably distinct from the formal hospitality one might expect at luxury properties. Here, the atmosphere was one of friendly, calm, and caring interactions. The staff’s recommendations were spot on, guiding me to a local fish kiosk for a delightful cured salmon sandwich and to the oldest candy shop nearby for some exquisite marzipan. These suggestions not only satiated my culinary curiosities but also enriched my cultural experience in Istanbul. Although Lokalist is a newcomer in the hospitality scene, it was evident that meticulous thought had gone into selecting the finest elements to create an environment that transcends mere accommodation. From its prime location next to Gezi Parki to the attentiveness of its staff and the quality of its services, Lokalist stands out as a beacon of boutique luxury.
