I stayed at Germir Palas Hotel and had a really enjoyable and comfortable stay right by Taksim Square. The location was one of the best parts—being so central made it incredibly easy to explore Istiklal Street, nearby cafés, shops, and public transport, all within a short walk. My room was clean, cozy, and had a classic charm with a comfortable bed that made it easy to relax after long days exploring the city. The hotel itself had a warm, traditional feel that added to the overall experience, and the staff were friendly, helpful, and always welcoming. Overall, it felt like a great mix of prime location, comfort, and classic Istanbul charm, and I’d happily stay here again on another visit.

We stayed at this hotel with two of my friends, booking three separate rooms on the 7th floor. Overall, the experience was very positive.All the rooms were clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. The beds were cozy, and everything felt tidy and properly prepared upon arrival. Staying on the 7th floor was also great — it was quiet and added to the overall comfort of our stay.The bar service was excellent — there was a wide variety of drinks available, and we really appreciated that it was possible to get a drink even at 3 a.m. The bartenders were friendly, professional, and made the experience even better.

Everything was perfect. The staff were very friendly, helpful, and pleasant The rooms are not very large, but they are cozy and clean. We stayed on the 6th floor and had a nice view of the square, Bosfor We chose this hotel because of its excellent location — only a 5-minute walk to the Havaist bus stop, which is very convenient if you are traveling to or from the airport. The breakfast was good and satisfying. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Fantastic experience. Stayed 2018 during fall. Celebrated my wedding anniversary along with my wife’s birthday. A place we will never forget. Did attempt to go on 2024 on the same period, however, was not available and ended up staying in Hyatt a little far away from the city center. Really admired the people, the atmosphere, the area where this hotel was settled and how easy accessing whereabouts in the beyoglu. Can’t wait to return insha Allah!

This hotel claims to be a four-star property, but its facilities and service do not meet four-star standards at all. The hotel is extremely outdated, the room was very dark and had a strong smell of smoke. The “double bed” was simply two small beds pushed together, leaving an uncomfortable gap in the middle. Even the quilt was a single-size blanket. There was no bottled water provided. Overall, everything felt very low-end and disappointing. For the same price, you can easily find much better options in Istanbul. This was a very poor experience and absolutely not worth the money.

The room is OK. It was clean. However the breakfast is just a few pieces of fry bread and old cheeses and some really bad cooked eggs. How could you not know how to cook eggs? The area is good and if you decide to stay here do yourself a favor and have breakfast at one of the nearby restaurants intend to not destroy your day. They offer cherry juice for their “breakfast” but if you want anything else to drink they charge you up heavily. Istanbul is full of hotels, recommend to go somewhere else.

Cutesy little room in the heart a very busy area. There’s no shortage of food places and stores for shopping within walking distance. The service is great, the staff are friendly and kind and the menu is pretty good.

The hotel is absolutely beautiful ground floor to the inside room! The breakfast was very nice, the coffee was outstanding, and the staff took very good care to keep everything clean and restocked. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean, and very. My only complaint is that you cannot control the temperature in the room and it was too warm for my comfort. Other than that, it’s an excellent location for sightseeing and has plenty restaurants around.
