We stayed in this hotel for 4 nights during a recent trip to Istanbul. The location of the hotel is great .. make sure to ask for a room in the higher level(s) and facing quiet street otherwise the noise from people & traffic may keep you awake. We had issues while staying there .. On our 3rd night we... More

Just stayed two nights at the Nippon hotel in Istanbul. The location near Taksim Sq is great. The hotel is generally in good shape and the decor is stylish and tasteful. My room was small, functional, and perfectly clean, with coffee maker (kettle) and complimentary water bottles. There is free wifi and also a free business centre with computers, scanners,... More

The hotel is very close to Taksim square. It is very easy to get to Taxim square after a short walk (because of the works done at Taksim square public transport is now the best solution and from Nippon you can get very easy to the Metro M1 and to the Funicular from Taksim to Kabatas – at Kabatas you...

What a great place to stay when in Istanbul. The staff is friendly, the service is excellent, and they have a big variety at their breakfast buffet (a big motivation for me in comparing hotels). It is close (walking distance) from the popular Istiklal Avenue (just search and have a look) packed with people and shops till late. The area... More

All in all it was a good stay at the Nippon Hotel. A little bit expensive for being an off season (we ended up paying $190 per night, taxes included). The personnel was very friendly and helpful. They were more than ready to give tips and pointers. We reserved an excursion to visit the sites in Istanbul, and it was... More

Staff very friendly and eager to help answer all our questions. We had a loud neighbour next to us, which the staff quickly attend to at 1... More

This was my second stay at this hotel. Istanbul hotels are overpriced and this offers a good option for the businsess traveller. It is located a stone throw from Taksim Square, has free Wifi, fairly spacious rooms and a fair selection of English TV Channels (BBC News, BBC World, SKY News, National Geographic, BBC Entertainment), However.... the rooms are hot...

Well situated near Taksim, in a street of rather swish hotels. This bills itself as a business hotel so you get all the little touches like free newspapers, choice of pillows etc. Reception staff very friendly and charming. BUT....and this is a big BUT! There is a nightclub close by that pours out heavy pounding music until at least 6a.m... More
