I want to thank the team for looking after us, especially Kadir. Hospitality was very good food and beverages were perfect. Food was fresh and delicious. Beverages ☕️ were perfectly made hot and cold drinks. And also want to thank Ali too. 😊 keep up the good work your doing great.

Plz tell the cleaners to clean the toilets, there was a strong smell from toilet.

This hotel is excellent! After an unfortunate experience with TK Airlines that caused us to miss our stopover accommodation, we searched for a hotel near Taksim with an 8+ rating on Booking.com. The Taksim Galatist Hotel came up at half the price of a hotel recommended by a friend. As a family of three, we were concerned about the room options since some listings suggested we would need to book two separate rooms. However, Taksim Galatist Hotel offered us a room with a double bed and a sofa bed, which was perfect. When we arrived, we were amazed by the hotel's surrounding location—it felt so authentically Istanbul! The area is vibrant, with plenty of food options, outdoor cafes, and a lively atmosphere 24 hours a day. The room itself was excellent. There was a separate room with a double bed and TV for (obviously) my wife and me :) and the sofa bed also had a TV for our son, what great facilities!!! It was a cosy and well-thought-out space for a family. The staff at the hotel were incredibly friendly and helpful. After our stressful experience with the airline, we were worried that our stay might be challenging, but the staff at Taksim Galatist Hotel changed our impression entirely. Maryam was extremely helpful and responsive, even sharing her contact number so we could ask for assistance at any time. But, the other staff members were also very helpful, assisting us with our three large suitcases and three hand luggage. Maryam also helped us plan our itinerary, which we didn't have any idea before. Honestly, this hotel made our stopover holiday so much better after the challenges we faced with TK Airlines. If you're looking for a safe and enjoyable stay, with easy access to shisha, smoking, hot sand coffee (literally just in front of this hotel), and plenty of local food options within 100 meters, this is the place to be!

The staff were very friendly, amiable and ready to help whenever I needed anything. The owner himself was very hospitable and cordial and he ensured that everything was ok on daily basis. The location of the hotel couldn't be any better .. in the heart of Istiklal Street My room was just as the photos uploaded in booking.com and it was clean and spacious, the bed was comfortable as well. I had a pleasant stay and would definitely recommend the hotel for solo travelers and families as well

Such an amazing experience! I don't know where to start. The location couldn't be better, literally in the heart of Taksim Square. Such a safe area as well, we could go out til early hours in the morning and come back with no problems whatsoever. The staff were so friendly and always helpful. Any little thing and it gets sorted straight away. We got to know all the workers and they were all so lovely. The WiFi was quicker than ours back home! The facilities were readily available as well. The rooms were very clean and spacious, we always had a good night sleep. We travelled with kids and they loved it. Definitely worth the money, I'd highly recommend you stay here!

Nothing :)

I travelled with my two kids, 16 and 11. Was a bit concerned about the trip but it was just amazing. The property was no doubt was very good, great location, lovely staff with always welcoming attitude and happy to help. Room sizes and bed are true to size. Bathroom had all the basic facilities including great water flow to shower. Very very close to İstiklal St. McDonald was literally just two minutes walk away . The best thing is safety, security and respect. The arranged room cleaning service daily upon our request. Nice latest system , Everything was really good. The price I paid was very reasonable as compared to other hotels in surrounding. Got a lovely deal in a package I should say…..😁

It’s just a weird smell , I think it’s in Turkish water or sewage. Don’t know what it was but of course I’m not blaming the hotel for that.

The location is great. The apartment is a good size the bed is comfortable.

I didn’t like that the staff immediately ask for tips they don’t allow any friends to come visit I have no idea why so it’s not a really good place for pre-gathering before you go out the bathroom wasn’t clean the toilet had a stain on it mybe they rushed it and the AC is on heater, no matter what

The hotel is quite solid for this value. 4 of us were in one apartment and it wasn't cramped at all. Normal-sized shower cubicle with good water pressure (that's always important to me). Excellent location, friendly stuff. :)

Opposite the hotel is a construction site, so it was noisy in the morning, but that certainly has nothing to do with the hotel.

Great location, daily cleaning, comfortable large room, the staff especially the lady that made our room everyday; thank you! And the beautiful Mary who arranged our transport to the airport who greeted us with a bright smile and followed up with message on our return to uk which was sweet. The staff were friendly and available to help when needed. My son and I enjoyed our stay in Istanbul although a short break we stayed an extra night and I will definitely return to the Taksim Galatist Hotel!

Nothing at all

The location is great as it’s located right next to Istiklal. Made it really easy to move around and had everything right next to us. The staff were great, very friendly and helpful

It’s right on Istiklal which makes it comfortable but keep in mind it means there’s a lot of noise up until very late at night. Also, the restaurants under the hotel don’t feel that safe. In 5 days stay there were 2 separate cases of fights there, one of them even involving knifes and the police getting involved.

Staff were excellent and very accommodating, especially Ozgur, the day receptionist. Location is fantastic, 1 min walk onto Istiklal Cadessi, and 5 mins walk onto Taksim Square and the metro. Lots of restaurants and dessert places near by as well as shopper’s galore, depending on what you want to buy! The hotel has a lift and 24 hour staff at the reception and an outdoor restaurant, be sure to try the food, very nice, convenient and reasonably priced for such a location. Recommend to others and till stay again next time IA

I forgot to mention to the reception the inside door handle to our suite needed to be screwed in again, and maybe oiling the track for the sliding door, other then that all good.
