Taksim Holidays

F

It’s a well served with many places of interest close by. We thank Rabia for being so helpful in finding an alternative room for us. Good quality varied items on the Breakfast is also good thing about the hotel. Just a note to first time visitors Istanbul terrain is hilly with most of the inside pebble roads you need to think about proper foot wear for walking.

Beautiful hotel, great staff, very clean!

The room was a bit small, air conditioning worked very well, and the staff at check-in were very friendly and helpful, especially Ekrem, who was excellent. Breakfast was your typical Turkish breakfast, where you’re given a menu and choose what you’d like. The views from the breakfast area were, once again, incredible. The bathroom was a little on the squashy side, and I noticed that the cover over the ventilation fan looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in years. That definitely could have used some attention. There was also a young, rather solidly built lady who appeared to be a team leader. She could certainly have done with a smile now and then instead of looking so serious all the time! 😄 Despite us tipping the cleaning lady and the breakfast staff every day—including her—there was never much improvement, or even a smile, from her. Other than that, the staff were friendly enough. Murat, who also seemed to be a team leader (like the “solid” lady 😄), was very professional and took good care of us. Overall, there were some small things that could have been improved, but the friendly and professional staff, particularly Ekrem and Murat, made a positive difference.
