Quick and reliable WiFi throughout the hotel.

My stay at the Taksim Galatist Hotel was infuriating! I had to endure constant noise from the street because the windows were poorly sealed. it felt like the outside was inside! On top of that, the bathroom was in deplorable condition, with mold in the shower that made using it unbearable.

Oh man, the steaks around here are just to die for! We stumbled into this local gem, Antakya Mutfagi, just a hop away, and it was a grill lover's paradise! our cozy Deluxe Family Room was a hit—plenty of space kicked back with the family, and even had a comfy sofa bed for our son!

I had to deal with some irritating noise from the hallway, which was a real vibe killer. Plus, the air conditioning was more on the ‘breeze’ side, leaving us a bit too warm at times.

The family-oriented room configurations are practical, making it easier for groups, and the room sizes exceed typical expectations for the area, providing some extra comfort. Quick and reliable WiFi was a nice touch, keeping me connected without issues during my stay.

I encountered several annoyances that put a damper on things. The room's location next to a housekeeping storage area meant I dealt with endless noise from cleaning staff throughout the day. The escalator? Tiny and hardly fit more than one person, making long waits pretty common. On top of that, I faced water disruption for an entire day, which left me without a shower when I needed it most. I also paid for an airport transfer and ended up shelling out an unexpected additional charge, which felt a bit sneaky and left me feeling frustrated with the overall experience. Lastly, minor maintenance issues—like loose handles and a couple of worn-down fixtures—suggested that upkeep could use a bit more attention.

Consider requesting a room away from the main street to avoid noise, and inquire about the rooftop for stunning views of the city.

Positive, Great overall experience! We had a spacious Deluxe Triple Room for 2 nights. Loved the daily cleaning and how helpful Mary was in arranging our airport transport. The area is vibrant with food options just a few steps away. I'll definitely come back! 😊

Just a great fit for a weekend getaway in Istanbul with overall brilliant value for money. The staff were accommodating when I needed extra towels quickly. Try to book a room away from the street to minimize noise.

The location was sweet as, heaps close to Istiklal street! But the noise isolation was a bit dodgy, and the sliding door needed fixing.

The staff offered us personalized itinerary planning, which made exploring the vibrant local culture smooth and enjoyable. The hotel's quick WiFi and the inviting atmosphere contributed significantly to our overall positive experience.

Would recommend for a short stayover

Spacious room, convenient location, the staff's excellent assistance made our stay enjoyable and stress-free, with easy access to local dining options and a 5-minute walk to transportation connections.

Not a single complaint.

the sliding door needed some fixing.

Poor noise isolation but excellent transport access and vibrant location!

friendly staff, great location, poor noise.

Just stayed in the Deluxe Triple Room for 5 nights with my family. The room was spacious, perfect for us with a double bed and sofa bed. Seriously, the shower pressure was amazing, felt like a spa. Everything was super clean and well-maintained. It was also nice to have daily cleaning on request. Oh, and WiFi was lightning fast – better than at home!
