Taxim Lounge Hotel Special Category

The Hotel Is okay, staff hospitality is standart, breakfast u must try, Prime location of Istiklal Street and Taksim Square, nearby from Hagia Sophia ( take a metro from taksim station ). But Parking Space is very limited because i bring my own car rent at the airport. So park your car at otopark nearby hotel and take a public transport, many tourist place in istanbul is difficut to park, many otopark full

I rented this hotel because it was close to bus stop to go to the airport. The area is nice, it’s right in the heart of Istanbul. There are many restaurants, bars, shopping places and it’s just pleasant to walk down the street. As there are many bars around I couldn’t sleep till 2 pm because of the noise. In terms of bedclothes it leaves much to be desired.

Overall it's very good, mainly because of the location and the fact that you don't have to think about what to eat, it's easy to find on Independence Street. But it would be a pain to get a taxi. The other problem is that the bars on the street are so noisy that you have to bring earplugs to fall asleep.

Excellent Choi I did, super friendly staff and very well spoken English, and whatever I needed they were there extremely super good and if I go again and want to stay in the area I will choose Taxim Lounge Hotel. Thank you very much

Very nice hotel, perfectly located within 2mins walk to Istikal Street, with loads of shops, restaurants and cafés and 5mins walk to Taksim Square. There are many pub bars with live music around the hotel and where you can even sit in the alleys as the small street is a pedestrian street only (note: you should avoid this area if you are sensitive to loud noise). The hotel is beautifully furbished especially the staircase and each floor's common area marble. The hotel staff are all very friendly, polite, respectful and helpful. Special mention to the guy at the restaurant, Sezgin, the housekeeping ladies on 1st and 5th floor and the lady manager at the reception. We stayed for 9 nights and booked 2 rooms. Upon check in, we found our rooms too small and requested to change rooms. The nice and very respectful lady manager (sorry for not remembering her good name) kindly changed 1 of the rooms the next morning and the 2nd room a few days later at no additional costs. This has been very well appreciated and we heartedly thank you for this. The rooms are nicely furnished and cleaned thoroughly every day. The bed and pillows are very comfortable. The AC/heater works fine and gives the required comfort. The bathroom was also well equipped with necessary amenities, new and clean. We even had a small balcony in one of the rooms which gave us beautiful views of the roofs of Istiklal/Taksim area and beautiful sunsets. The restaurant in the basement is very beautiful and authentic. Breakfast was good with varieties, coffee, tea and juices. The only downside is that taxis/vans cannot drop or pick you up at the hotel as the street is pedestrian only. You will have to pull your luggage down the main street (5-10 mins walk) unless the vehicle stops in the adjacent street to the hotel and load your luggage quickly. We highly recommend this hotel for all the positive points and would definitely come back.

The only positive thing about the property was some of the good staff and location but other than that, sadly, not very clean when it comes to cleanliness. The page on ******* says there’s a restaurant in the hotel but there is not - the page should be updated as this was misleading. No room service from the hotel itself whatsoever. You can’t even order coffee from the front desk. I recommend trying a different hotel if you’re a first timer in Istanbul.
