It was a trip for our honeymoon in Istanbul and we spent around a week in 3 different hotels and the Taksim Gonen was one of them. We checked in twice to the hotel and they were facing some difficulties in electrical power. However, they gave us the smallest room in the hotel. It had teh basic functions but the... More

The hotel had a much nicer interior than the website shows, but, unfortunately, when we went in late September the rooftop restaurant wasn't open. I'm not sure if that was a function of it no longer being high season or if the restaurant is just not open except for special occasions, but we were disappointed, as that was one of... More

it was a good hotel BUT some of our goods were lost when we were out of our room and when we were at breakfast my 100 USD was lost from my purse at our room,I report it to the manager and they don't attantion if you are going to this hotel watch out of your goods and your cloth... More

A good sized room. clean and rather nice. The breakfast buffet was good, however, the dining upstairs was not adequate for vegetarian diets. But the location was great, lots of shopping and restaurants near by. Overall a great location and a great experience. More

we had a 3 day 2 nights journey,the hotel is nice,nothing exceptional but without problems,the rooms clean and nice furnishing,is situated close to everything,has an international breakfast.rich and various,but left me the impression that the staff was awkward,never smiled,so frigid. More

Very gentle and helpful staff, especially reception, bell boys and people at the inside pool. Maybe the mini-bar guy, cleaning ladies and people at breakfast should try start smiling a bit more. Location is really good, close to everything and easy access to each kind of transportation. We are a couple 35 years old, visiting for an orthodox baptism and... More
