This Taksim Square hotel is nice, clean and comfortable. Few staff speak English but otherwise they are friendly and helpful. The included breakfast was quite good. We stayed in a Bosphorus view room with a small balcony and I highly recommend doing that--not only for the view, which is great, but because Taksim Square can be very noisy and any... more

The hotel has an excellent location. It is clean and decent. The staff are neither helpful nor rude. Fresh orange juice is for extra but they do offer machine orange juice for free like other hotels. Overall, good impression. more

The list of the bad things found in this hotel is so long I don't know where to start. - I arrived at 9am and checked in. My room was not ready (perfectly acceptable, I didn't even want it so early) so I left my trolley and told that I wanted a Smoking room with King bed. No reply arrived.... more

This place is very well located, with nothing much else to recommend it. The twin room (at back, with a view of some other windows) was small, clean, with gold and red carpet and bedspreads, a pink marble bathroom, blackout curtains and quite good air-con. The decor was not in very good taste. The beds were firm, and the shower... more

The location is superb, almost right around the corner from Taxim and the Istiklal Caddesi. Metro, tram and busses all within a few hundred... more

In general, it is a rather good hotel, clean, safe, well located near the Taksim square and in a walking distance from the Center of Conventions. People who are working at the reception are very kind but there are few among them talking English with fluency. The breakfast does need to be improved, many tasteless things are showed and I... more

We have been many times to Istanbul before and love this city. This time we thought of staying close to our friends and in their area Cihangir which is beautiful and selected the 4 star rated Hotel Grand Star due to its location as it is close by to our friends home. We now terribly regret our choice! Rooms were... more

It was mentioned as 4 star hotel. Bosphorus View is definetely 5 stars but all other facilities are below 2-star quality (Service+Staff) Especially they offer the worst breakfast I have ever had... Food items + Beverage were not even upto a star qulity hotel. Very low quality, cheap, not enough variety food served in unconditional environment. Quality improvement + Renovation... more
