Taksim Nis Hotel

When we first arrived, we were told the hotel was next door by the staff sitting by the front door. Next door was not open or operational. So we stressed for about 15min trying to call reception. Then we asked the same people if they spoke English. They said no, in English. Then we asked where is the hotel and they said “here”. So not sure if they were first having a laugh with us, but we did not find it funny at all. First impressions count. The room was ready for us, so that was good at it was 8:30am. The family room is up a flight of stairs and the floor in the room was filthy. But there was a balcony and lots of space. Bfast was simple cheese, meats, breads, salads. But nice and sufficient. The location is on a hill but walking distance to Taksim Sq train station. But I would not be dragging my suitcase to and from. Would I stay there again? No.

We stayed as a family with two kids in this property it’s really safe and super friendly staff overall I would of course go back to this hotel when I go back to Istanbul.

We stayed for 3 nights in the room with the terrace and it was fantastic. Comfortable bed. Strong and hot shower. Quiet room. This hotel is run by a friendly family and you can tell they enjoy providing a good experience The breakfast every morning was delicious and cooked fresh. Every morning there was something a little different. I would gladly stay again!
