"Décoration"

CVK Park Bosphorus Hotel Istanbul

10/10 Excellent

"So so so goooooood ! Perfect smell, they are so respectful not like other hotels in the area ! I really can't describe it properly ..just PERFECT"

The Marmara Taksim

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel and well located"

Divan Istanbul

10/10 Excellent

"First of all, the location of the hotel was perfect. So close to Taksim Sq and Istiklal walking St. There were so many restaurants and Cafe near the hotel. Staff were kind and helpful. The breakfast was 4 of 5.0. it could be better and also the restaurants."

Sofitel Istanbul Taksim

10/10 Excellent

"Clean hotel clean room spa amazing"

Aria Palace Taksim

10/10 Excellent

"Great area with lots of food options, including Turkish and Arabic restaurants for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The location felt very safe since it's near a police station and one of the main taxi pickup spots. The staff were extremely friendly and spoke Turkish, Arabic, English, German, Farsi/Dari, Russian, and Uzbek, which made communication easy. The neighborhood is very multicultural and welcoming. It's close to the nightlife and all the action around Taksim, but it becomes much quieter later in the evening, making it easy to sleep. The air conditioning worked well, the bathroom was clean, and the room had plenty of space. The hotel is literally a 4-minute walk from Taksim, with all the shops, restaurants, cafés, and entertainment venues nearby. At the same time, there are plenty of restaurants, cafés, and convenience stores right outside the hotel, so you don't even need to go far to find what you need. Overall, this was a great place to stay. Excellent location, friendly staff, plenty of space, and a perfect balance between being close to the nightlife and still being able to get a good night's sleep at least for me. The spa was very nice and legit as well"
