Even with major construction at the front door (due for completion by July 2013) the whole hotel was an oasis of calm serenity in one of the worlds busiest city - check out the view from the roof terrace. An easy pick-up point for many of the organised day trips and a lovely bar to relax in, or out on... More

The Germir Palas is a lovely old fashioned style hotel that is located right in the heart of central Istanbul. Everything is on your door step whether it be cafes or restaurants or the bus to the airport it is all a very short walk away. The staff are very friendly and there is a warm welcoming atmosphere. The rooms... More

We stayed here for 4 nights in April/May 2013 and have no complaints. Our standard room was just as expected, with a very good bed and newly renovated bathroom. The location was excellent. The hotel is a few minutes away from Taksim Square, and the immediate area is great for walking as the streets are pedestrian-only (most of the time)... More

A great place to start our tour of the Revelation cities of Turkey. There's a lot of construction going on right now, and will be for another year. So access by bus is limited and there tends to be activity all night long, even on special occasion days. They appear to have a great restaurant/bar on site but we were... More

The first thing I have to say about service is that housekeeping found my belt and held on to it until I returned to Istanbul. Now THAT'S service. I liked the location, about a half block from Taksim Sq. which leads to Istiklal St. Easy to get to the old town, where all the sights are. The rooms are small,... More

I spent 2 night in this hotel during my bussiness trip in Istanbul.I liked the athmosphere of the hotel.It has a very good location, big rooms and friendly staff.Breckfast is exclusive. The only thing that i could recomment is much more light in the rooms.They are a little dark.

My husband and I spent 2 nights at this hotel, which was recommended by a friend. It is a short walk away from Taksim Square and Istiklal Avenue, which was very convenient since restaurants, convenience stores and shopping were so close by. The rooms were compact but comfortable and clean, with everything working well. We also thought they were decently... More

Nice hotel close to Taksim Square. Very nice rooms, although somewhat dark. Good breakfast buffet, nice bar, friendly staff. I was here on business trip but would go here definitely on a private visit with my wife.

I stayed at the Germir Palas for 10 nights in November of 2012. The first thing that really stands out is the fantastic service. The people at the front desk, restaurant, cleaning staff, etc, were incredibly helpful and accommodating. The rooms are very comfortable and (at least the higher floors) have lovely views. There is a nice terrace on the... More
