In spite of all negative comments and low rating published by several travelers, I visited the premises and decided to try out staying at this hotel because of its excellent location in Taksim square. My wife and I spent a couple nights, felt very comfortable, clean room with beautiful sea view, good amenities; staffs are helpful, courteous and very responsive.... More

My fiancé and I checked into a beautiful suite in the Taxim Hill Hotel for our last two nights in Istanbul. Strangely, they required that we paid for our full two nights stay upon check in, which is not protocol from my experience. Generally, the hotel keeps your credit card information on file until the time of check-out, and then... More

I have been going in and out of Turkey over the past 12 years and I found this hotel to be a true value for money. The scenery from the 9th floor is amazing, people are very helpful, rooms are spacious and even though hotel is smack down the square it is very quiet. The down side is it is... More

I would stay here again, no question. Great hotel, great location. Got bumped up from Standard to Superior, and the room was great, with a view towards sea and Istiklal Str. Ignore back alley construction. / renovation site, unless you are terribly nit-picky! Live music from somewhere in the vicinity is to be expected given the location. One small problem... More

We stayed at the hotel in October (3 colleagues/3 nights) 2 standard rooms and a Suite, week before the arrival I asked to cancel Suite for the first night, but when we arrived we find out that they have cancelled the standard room instead of Suite. As all bedrooms were pre-paid via bank transfer, when I got back to London... More

Had a fabulous holiday thanks to the people we met. Food was great, so eat the salads they are warm. Bar staff fantastic and after you have walked up the hill to the hotel you will really need a drink but take lots of money its very expensive. You pay extra for everything (tea/coffee making etc in your room, fridge... More

but the service itself is not really that great. The rooms are exceptionally small but if you're staying for a short time they're comfortable enough and clean. However, the location is very central so this hotel works if that's what you're looking for. There's no gym or pool and they don't have ironing boards.

I really cant describe how bad is this hotel, from reception to the worst uncomfortable and very very dark room i've ever seen in my life to the terrible lobby, terrible service...probably the only ok thing is the location but even that is noisy and terrible. i still cant believe that my room looked at the interior stairs of the...

It was nice to be right in the midst of the lively Taxim Square. And we had a really lovely view from our window. Breakfast was quite nice, especially because the view from the room where they served it was fantastic. The room was fairly clean, and it was adequately stocked each of the five days. The one big downside... More
