Taximist Hotel

The property is not at all as advertised on expedia so do not be fooled to book based on how it looks in images. As you enter the reception, is is small and filled with smoke smell, the lift hardly fits 2, the rooms are filthy and have smell of smoke, if you suffer from breathing issues you can not last in this hotel for too long. Our room has left over stuff from previous visitors and floors were dirty and filthy. Bedsheet torn and dirty towels in toilets. We booked the hotel for three days but could not last there for too long and checked out the very next day. The hotel is not accommodating in issuing a refund so be mindful if you plan booking this hotel. Also its not family friendly, when we returned back to room after dinner, the lobby was blocked by 2 men and there was a party going on in the suite next to lobby. Br very careful when you book this hotel, we were deceived by the images and reviews on expedia.

We spent 3 days at this hotel with a family. The location was great, close to Taksim square. The staff and service was excellent, Very friendly and accommodating, specially Hotel manager, Mr Farhan went out of his way and helped treating us like his own family, in arranging wheel chair for my mother and providing comfortable room.
