Top Taksim Hotel Reviews

Hilton Istanbul Bosphorus

10/10 Excellent

"This is luxury travel at its best. We absolutely loved the hotel, the complimentary spa and beautiful outdoor pool. The views of the Bosphorus are breathtaking. The service is incredible. One night, I was so sick, could not sleep, needed medication. The hotel organized for a taxi to take me to the 24 hr pharmacy, wait for me and bring me back (for like $10 cab ride). I could not have survived the night without talking to that pharmacist. I am so grateful for their help. And btw, you absolutely have to take the Breakfast option! It is out of this world, all you can eat (mimosas and expressos included). The Turks take breakfast very seriously, and here they take it to the next level! Perfect way to load up before heading out for adventure in Istanbul!"

Meroddi Beyoğlu Residence

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean hotel. The staff were very kind and helpful. Every time we asked for something, they brought it very quickly. The free shuttle and the bus stop in front of the hotel made it easy to go anywhere. The only small issue was that there was no laundry detergent or dish soap. We really enjoyed our stay and would stay here again."

Radisson Blu Hotel Istanbul Pera

8/10 Good

"Our recent stay was a tale of two cities: incredible service and location hindered by a property that has seen better days. The staff truly carries this hotel. A special shout-out to Berkay, who was an absolute lifesaver; he went above and beyond to help us recover 500TRY after an airport taxi overcharged us. The restaurant team, particularly Silvia and Yunus, were equally fantastic, ensuring we started every day well with a good breakfast spread. The rooftop views were stunning, providing the perfect backdrop for our mornings. The spa experience was a highlight. Nisa was brilliant in helping us book a couples Hammam and massage, which was the best experience of our trip. The steam and sauna were excellent, and the traditional Hammam was outstanding. While the massage was top-tier, the jacuzzi was "so-so," and we had concerns regarding the pool water quality. Location-wise, the property is perfectly positioned. Being a 2-minute walk from the vibrant bars of Istiklal Caddesi made our evenings magical, and the proximity to the Şişhane metro and Karaköy ferry made exploring effortless. However, don’t expect a view from the hotel if you are staying in a standard room; you are better off keeping the curtains shut, be it to the front or back of the property. The property itself is tired and dingy. Additionally, the air conditioning struggled to keep up with the summer heat. While the staff and location make this place worth considering, the dated infrastructure is a clear drawback."

The Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were incredible and treated me like a King throughout my stay. Everyone from the front desk, concierge, room service, restaurant staff and valet staff were incredible helpful and respectful. This made my stay very memorable and I am excited to return to Ritz-Carlton Istanbul as well as stay at other Ritz-Carlton's globally."
