Hotel berhampiran ELKA ORTAOKULU, Istanbul

Location is not very convenient. Room service food is average at best. Several times the bed sheets and cover was still wet when they replaced them. Room is very small. Rooftop bar plays good music. Breakfast is the same everyday. The best experience we had with this hotel was the doorman. Overall experience was below average.

Nice big Room with a beautiful View. Very clean!!! The service staff made every effort to satisfy all guests. The breakfast was very good. Many options and everything was very tasty only the coffee unfortunately not but I would recommend this hotel anytime!!!

Myself and partner stayed for 4 nights. Before arrival, I received regular emails from the hotel and they told me they would be giving us a lovely room as I informed them it was our anniversary and we are excited to visit Istanbul. We arrived at the hotel quite later than expected due to our flights getting delayed. We were shown to our room and it looked nice, but I must admit I was expecting more. But it was clean and the view outside was beautiful. We could see all the landmarks and a lovely view of the Bosphorus. We went out to explore and came back to the hotel around 10 pm. We decided to have a drink in the lobby. The lady instructed us we must pay cash for our drinks. This seemed odd, but we paid in cash. When we took our drinks and sat down within 5 minutes later a couple paid for their wine, and the same lady had the card machine to take card payment. I called her over and she seemed reluctant to acknowledge me. After my persistence, she asked how could she help me. I asked why we were forced to pay in cash and those guests had just paid with a card. She walked away and the manager came over. I told him we were guests at their hotel and what had happened. He explained the machine wasn’t working when we wanted to pay, but it is working now so if we wanted to we can now pay by card. We didn’t bother to do this as I wanted to understand the reason. It did seem they wanted cash payment in case we did a runner…also strange how the machine suddenly worked 5 minutes later. It did annoy and upset us both as we didn’t believe the explanation. When we went up to our hotel room we noticed a bad smell. We didn’t notice this earlier, but my partner described it like a perm solution (Not pleasant at all). In the morning we called reception. Housekeeping came up and they were unable to speak English. They went into the bathroom and filled up the air spray dispenser. I called reception and was baffled that this was the fix. I explained that there is clearly a more underlying issue and that masking the smell will help, but not resolve the issue. The next day reception was very helpful and they moved us to a nicer room with a better view. However, no air freshener in the bathroom so this is not consistent in all rooms. This makes me think we were deliberately given a bad room, despite their promise of a lovely room for our anniversary. There were lots of positives though. Some of the staff are very polite and helpful. (not all of them. We found some to be quite rude to us) The staff on the front desk were always so friendly and nice. The staff during breakfast were also very friendly. Although they don’t all speak English I had some difficulties determining if there was meat in a specific food item. So if you have allergies there could be a slight risk here. Something I think the hotel needs to resolve. But the food during breakfast was fantastic. So many options and the food was always varied and fresh. The hotel itself

I visited Istanbul from USA and this is my review! This hotel is very clean and kid friendly! It’s a must you stay here if you ever visit Taksim, Istanbul. This hotel is in the perfect location, A lot of good food nearby, shopping nearby, grocery stores and mosque. All of the staff is amazing below i will list the names of the staff members that helped keep our stay easy. 1. Emrah 2. Furkan 3. Dilek 4. Zamira 5. İlham 6. Salih A BIG THANK YOU TO THE WHOLE ASTON HOTEL STAFF!

The place is popular and our room is at 7th floor however, the bedroom is laterally in the terrace which is cold at night!!!!! Although they made some renovations there😭😭😭you can hear people outside talking

Начну с того, что сейчас этот отель называется DNZ TAXIM FERİDİYE HoTEL. Бронировала я пребывание на три ночи через букинг в номере делюкс. При заезде нам был выдан другой номер, не соответсвующий описанию и фото при бронировании. Вернулись к администратору с попыткой объяснить, что номер явно другой. Он долго искал наше бронирование, нашел, в итоге дал другой номер. Он был больше и по размеру походил на тот, что был на фото, но при этом не соответстовал внешне. При этом нам было сказано, что других номеров нет. В итоге, пришлось остаться в этом номере. Потом мы начали осматривать его более детально и оказались в легком шоке. Дело было то, в каком состоянии был сам номер: дверные наличники были отломаны, стены все покоцанные до основания, незакрепленная мойка, перетертый шланг для душа, кран, который держался на честном слове. Кран и вентилятор просто торчали из стены, над дверным проемом в ванной все было замазано цементом без какой-то отделки (все есть на фото). Полотенца грязные, с остатками губной помады, а также дырками. Постельное белье тоже было под вопросом. В стоимость проживания входил завтрак, который опять же оказался не таким, как на фото на букинге. Фото завтрака тоже прикреплено к отзыву. Основное там - это полбатона. На стойке регистрации работают арабы, которые по-английский знают пару слов, то есть изъясняться с ними крайне сложно. Ну, и напоследок вишенка на торте. Решили, что не выдержим тут три ночи и уедем после двух ночей. В итоге, администраторы отменили нашу бронь, когда мы выехали, и отправили на букинг информацию о том, что мы якобы не заехали. В общем, они просто обманывают людей! Я никому не рекомендую этот отель!

I am upset because after 4 days staying there...while check-out they were trying to get money from me for 4 bottles of wine,which i even didnt see in mini bar! It was Ramadan. That spoiled my trip in Istanbul. Most probaby the staff of Konak hotel are strealing. Very bad experience. Never go there again.

İmpera otel, gece hayatı ve eğlencenin ortasında olmasına rağmen, çok güvenli ve sakin bir sokakta. Kahvaltı sunumları çok hoş, personel ilgili ve nazik. Bölgeyle ilgili güzel tavsiyeler alabilirsiniz. Muazzam bir şarap seçeneğine sahip, iyi pizza ve iyi makarnalar ile hazırlanmış menüleri var. Taksim karmaşasından uzak durmak isterseniz şiddetle tavsiye ederim. Ben bir standart odada kaldım, çok şık mimari dokunuşları olan şehir oteli, binanın tamamında büyük bir emek ve vizyon var, odalar büyük diyemem fakat kullanışlı. Kaldığım odada manzara yoktu, bunun bir eksikliğini hissetmedim, sonuçta sırf manzara için farklı otellere fahiş fiyatlar ödemek istemedim.

Отель районе Бейоглу, 300 метров от площади Таксим. Выбрала его из-за удачного расположения и уютных номеров (есть видео номера в истории). Отель небольшой, всего 10 номеров, рядом с метро и фуникулёром, идти минут 7. Номера действительно очень комфортные, уборка и чистые полотенца каждый день. Персонал приветливый. Все отлично. Хорошая цена на него. Рядом есть супермаркеты, магазины, кафе. Известная пешеходная улица Истикляль в 400 метрах. Сам район, особенно около метро оставляет желать лучшего, очень много попрошаек, думаю поздно вечером лучше не возвращаться, девушкам точно не рекомендую поздно гулять в этом районе. Когда спускаешься в метро (в туннель), то там соотвествующий запах и много людей спят на картонках.

If there would be a Champions League for hotels, Rixos Tersane would win it. The nature of my media profession necessitates many hotel stays in many countries. Usually I cannot wait to go home. This time everything was different. Welcome? I felt as a family member, not paying guest. Design? Beautiful. Rooms? Perfect size, waterfront views, very comfortable beds, seating area, desk to work on, well above average storage space, and then the bathroom... history in the building, on the walls, there are books to read or consult about city and country. Food and beverage? Best I had in years at a hotel, from breakfast to dinner. Breakfast in particular is out of a stylish Hollywood movie. If a convention or conference is coming up - book it here. 2000 happy delegates? Easy :-) But there was something else, too: the team, their staff. How a hotel is managed reflects in staff attitude. According to my opinion and I spoke with many, this hotel must have the best possible management anywhere in the world. Thank you!
