Elysian Airport Hotel & Restaurant

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice and clean. Staff are very professional and nice. Good location close to the airport"

Grand Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"🌟 Unforgettable Stay – We Felt Like Family! Review Score: 4/5 We just returned from our family trip to Istanbul, and the absolute best part of this hotel was the phenomenal staff. The entire reception team was amazing, but we want to give a special mention to Eyup. His service was absolutely phenomenal, and he went completely above and beyond for us. By the end of our stay, the whole team felt like family, and they made us feel like a part of theirs. We stayed in a top-floor air conditioned apartment with very good accommodation and incredibly comfortable beds. The rooms were reasonably clean for the local standard, though the hotel itself felt a little undermaintained in places. If you want a comfortable stay with world-class hospitality, this is the place. We would love to return in a heartbeat just to see our new family again!"

Elite World Istanbul Taksim

10/10 Excellent

"10/10 - Lifelong customer from now on. We arrived at around 6 am tired from the flight and dreading having to wait until check-in time. The receptionist was very friendly and welcoming and checked us in immediately. They even upgraded us to a room with a terrace view which was stunning, with views over the beautiful hills of Istanbul on one side and the bosphorus on the other. We had a higher floor so out view was exceptional. Very friendly staff who seemed genuinely delighted to help. Spa also included (except for massages) although we didn't use it."

Titanic City Taksim

6/10 Okay

"Amneties and hotel location are very good, well-maintained, good breakfast, however the staff are horrible, both the front desk and at breakfast restaurant, they need to smile, greet guests and attend to their needs, they have a poker face with no courtesy and look at you badly when you request something. Hotel staff are the core of services and they need much better training."
