Sofitel Istanbul Taksim

Excellent property right on Taksim Square. Big, modern rooms, friendly, helpful Team. Loved my stay

The hotel is in a good location right in the middle of Taksim. The rooms are nice, albeit the view isn't great for rooms that have the non-city view - it's just a view of neighbouring offices and buildings. The outdoor swimming pool is being overlooked by a lot of office buildings so not great for privacy. Indoor spa and swimming pool facilities are great. We kept getting harassed by the staff to buy some food or drink every time we went out to the outdoor reception area - really poor customer service in this area. Overall still a very good hotel.

The hotel is really 3 stars not 5. Very poor amenities in the room. Breakfast not so many options. Stayed for one week don't have banana and other fruits and omelette made in a very cheap quality. They don't deserve that much money for thequality they offer. The housekeeping make rooms in 5 min dont recharge shampoo or soap we had to call everytime. Only positive part is the location close to everything. Also staff ask for tips for everything they do. You can book the Ritz much cheaper and much better quality. Do not recommand at all !!!

The best hotel I have ever been to in my travels.

The room are spacious, comfortable, and clean, with good service. It's best to choose a higher floor in the main building for better views and natural lighting. We didn’t opt for breakfast. The hotel is located near a lively square. Across the street is Istiklal Avenue, a bustling pedestrian street filled with shops, restaurants, and currency exchange shops. Walking left for about 10-15 minutes leads to two supermarkets. The square next to the hotel has two metro stations, making transportation convenient. One metro line connects to the seaside light rail—just one stop away, saving you from walking uphill or downhill. About a 10-minute walk away is a bus station with direct service to the airport, costing 275 lira.

Excellent central location, you get any type of shops just step out the hotel. Metro, bus stops & tram accesses nearby to go to any attractions. The restaurants offer excellent quality of breakfast & dinning experience. The deck top dinning area outsides the restaurant offers stunning view. The room more modern, spacious and with top quality of amenities. It's one of the best hotel we ever stayed.
