I stayed in this hotel which is located very close to Taksim Square. The hotel was built approx. 2 years ago and it is very nice. The staff are friendly & helpful but the room was a little small, on the other hand it was OK for the money we paid. A decent breakfast was available every morning from 7:30',... More

1. Useless wi-fi. It's impossible to use wi-fi anywhere in the hotel except lobby area. 2. Average breakfast. 3. Rooms are really overpriced. 4. Location. Hotel situated next to the building under construction. After I spent four days in Istanbul I don't understand in general why anyone could have intention to live near Taksim square area. It's overcrowded with local... More

Very good location, very helpful staff, good breakfast and excellent rooms!

Nice and confortable new small hotel. It is located in the centre of the city in few steps from the Taksim Square and the major restaurants, bars and shops. In few minutes walking distance from the tram station that takes to the old historical city. We spent 2 nights in hotel just before the 2011 year end and no complaints.... More

It was cheaper and cleaner than surrounding hotels in the immediate vicinity, but we discovered there are numerous better (and cheaper) options in nicer locations just a... More

Going to Istanbul for business or holiday, the best place to stay is Emerald. In d heart of the city center. Good connectivity to all places and very well decorated and spotlessly clean rooms. It offers attractive rates at peak seasons which makes it my first choice. Well trained staff, polite, humble and always ready to make your stay comfortable.... More

From the minute we arrived the attentive staff ensured our stay would be memorable. We were allowed to check-in early and given a free room upgrade. It was our wedding anniversary and complimentary flowers, fruit, and hand written card were delivered to the room, along with a hand crafted dessert platter. The room was spacious, spotlessly clean and the towels... More
