The hotel was wonderful and the hotel staff were absolutely amazing. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back! The spa services were incredible. If you stay at the Occidental Taksim the spa is a “most do!”
Really I am injoying and the team very fraindely and professional the room was supper clean I am sure my next October trip I will stay this hotel I real appreciate
The management team also!
We enjoyed our stay very much. The hotel is very convenient by Hava Bus from the airport. The funicular & tram are very close to all the main sights. It was quiet, rooms maintained to a good standard & tea & coffee facilities available.
Breakfast is excellent value for money with a huge of array of food & great coffee!
The spa was clean and staff welcoming, just what is needed after walking 20,000 steps during the day.
Staff are approachable & can speak several languages well.
I'd like to say that Seda, a trainee, was very professional at reception & I was very happy to see there were a number of trainees at the hotel and that giving young people an opportunity to enhance their career.
A lovely stay that made our time in İstanbul even more memorable.
A very well managed hotel, great service and polite staff.
Please check your internet connection on this property, as it was not very stable in my room.
They upgraded us to a 5 star hotel for one night as there was a fire alarm issue at the hotel. They also gave us free dinner and free breakfast every morning. Staff on the front desk were very helpful getting us cheaper cab ride to helping us navigate Istanbul. Rooms were decent size, very clean.
One night for business and seeing friends. Great location. Good choice. Lobby is 3*, rooms are 3.5*. Not luxurious but clean enough and easy to get in and out. Great if you like crowds and Istikal St.

Our recent stay at the Occidental Taksim Hotel in Istanbul was a wonderful experience that combined modern comfort with the dynamic atmosphere of one of the city’s most vibrant areas. Located just a stone’s throw away from Taksim Square, this hotel is ideally situated for both business and leisure travelers.
