We planned this trip to Istanbul about one month prior to arrival and had a hard time finding a hotel. Everything was booked for this weekend, a long weekend throughout most of Europe. Istanbul is booming and everything was full. The Germir had a room (at a reasonable rate as well) and it was very nice. The location was EXCELLENT;... More

Stayed at the Germir for 1 week in April 2012. The first room we had faced a concrete wall and the A/C didn't work for the entire building. We were moved the next day with no complications. The rooms are small, dark and dated. The beds were extremely uncomfortable; my hips and back felt like they were bruised. Bathrooms were... More

The clerks were nice welcoming, however the room wasn't clean I.E bed sheets weren't clean in addition to the lack of lights. The room was very dark even during day time. Noises were unbelievable, could hard sleep! Location was perfect next to subways & buses stations in the heart of Taksim. More

Excellent location,british style interior,rooms could be little bigger,bathrooms need to be renewed(not suitable for older guests-too high to get in to the shower) Very friendly staff,wonderfull view roof restaurant...Breakfast concept could be better..some items missing,like as omelettes and pancakes,but quite well on other items..

I had read the other reviews so was expecting to have a pleasant experience but the Germir Palas excelled my expectations. Very pleasant and attentive staff, one took our shopping up to the rooms while we were having a drink, no fuss, just superb, caring service. I can endorse the other positive comments wholeheartedly: supurb convenience, the airport shuttle is... More

This was a pretty nice hotel and spot to stay - near a lot of neat shops and access to public transportation for quick journey into the old town. Unfortunately, we were "between seasons" and the AC was not on - so it was pretty hot and stuffy. We were able to get a different room that allowed better window... More

We stayed here for two nights and found it to be spotlessly clean, lavishly decorated and quite central to transit. The classical rooms were replete with a comfortable bed, featuring multiple pillows and cozy bed sheets. A tip of the hat goes to a very professional staff. The breakfast was plentiful and varied and didn't disappoint. The hotel is extremely... More

My wife and I traveled with a tour group of 44 for 2 weeks in Istanbul, 4 of whom were friends. Stayed here for 2 nights each at beginning and end of tour. Rooms are decent, nicely furnished, very clean. However, the TV was tucked into a corner and you had to turn your head to one side to watch,... More

We stayed for a week in Germir Palas Hotel, Taksim, Istanbul for a week in month of September. The hotel is very easily accessible by the Airport shuttle (Yavas), as it terminates right in front of the hotel after a 45 min ride. The Yavas airport shuttle costs 10TL, Reg the hotel, it is very well appointed. Nice and warm... More
