Taksim Centre Hotel

If you’re considering booking this hotel, there are a few things to keep in mind. Firstly, the hotel is a 4–5 floor building without an elevator, and the stairs are quite steep. Even rooms on the first floor require climbing about 25–30 stairs, so it may not be ideal for those with mobility issues or heavy luggage. On arrival, although we had booked a quadruple room, we were initially given two separate rooms because our reserved room wasn’t available. Fortunately, we were able to find a suitable room on the first floor. The cleanliness was average. Room cleaning is not done daily—only when guests check out or upon request. Reception staff were not particularly helpful, so it’s a bit of a gamble what kind of service or room you’ll get. The location is both a positive and a drawback. It’s very close to Istiklal Street, Taksim Square, and about 1 km from the Havaist bus stop, which is convenient for transport. There are plenty of restaurants and places to eat nearby. However, the area is noisy, with pubs and street activity continuing until 4–5 a.m., which might disturb light sleepers. There is no breakfast provided, and while there is a shared kitchen on the ground floor, it’s not easy or pleasant to use. In summary, if you’re on a budget and don’t mind stairs or a bit of noise, the location is the main advantage here. But if comfort and consistent service matter to you, you might want to consider other options.

The worst hotel I have stayed in until today and the worst treatment from the staff. They took me to another hotel and did not want to give me the room I booked. The cleanliness is zero and the treatment is zero. They are just exploiting the customers.
