What guests think

At The Central Palace Taksim, travellers praise the central Taksim-side location and frequently friendly, helpful staff, while noting large rooms that feel dated with maintenance problems, mixed breakfast quality, and concerns about discriminatory security checks and uneven service.

Valet parking is appreciated, but on-site dining is limited to breakfast and some spa or sauna facilities were charged or unavailable. Guests like the proximity to Taksim Square yet some report street noise or smoke smells, and Wi‑Fi can be unreliable. Expect a convenient base with generous room sizes but inconsistent upkeep.

The hotel has become run down. The floors in my room had gotten wet and buckled, making it dangerous in bare feet. The staff offered to change the room, but it would have been for one with two separate beds. There is no room service (only breakfast). One of the major concerns was that anyone "brown" - Arab or Turkish appearing - were stopped and registered even though they were registered guests, while anyone European looking was let in without question. This felt very discriminatory.

Free valet parking a big bonus in Istanbul. There are 3 underground floors for dining and conferences. The hotel is much bigger than it looks. Lifts. Fantastic buffet breakfast. Fantastic room. If you take a bath you need to get the flow from the tap correct to avoid wetting the floor.

The hotel room we had booked was "upgraded to a better room", likely because the sea view ones were booked. This was fine, however the breakfast is less optimal than expected most items were hard to combine as someone coming from west Europe, this is preference and also fine. The big problem arised when the room we wete in flooded due to poor bath insulation. We filled the bath with a regular amount and one person got in and it all came out from underneath wetting the bathroom and the wooden floors and our clothes. From the looks of the floor it was not the first time either, this should never happen. A small detail a lot of the outlets did not work. Lastly all the spa and sauna facilities were out of commision which was only mentioned after asking and was a shame.

The hotel only has a breakfast restaurant but tons of dining options within 5 minute walk. However, pack your own iron. They only have a few irons for the whole hotel. If someone else has them, you are SOL! I was not able to get one for 2 days. Any, one of the morning staff simply not friendly at all ☹️

BUT the hotel is outdated, toilet cannot stop leaking, window cannot close completely, there is no shampoo and bottle water in room (they gave the supply after called them). Street noise is after midnight, breakfast is soso.
