What guests think

At Point Hotel Taksim, guests praise the central location by Taksim Square and airport buses and often find staff welcoming, though service consistency varies and some expectations of a five‑star stay are not always met.

Rooms receive mixed feedback on size, outlook, and age, with some large and comfortable options but others described as small, dated, noisy, or affected by seasonal heating and limited air conditioning. Facilities draw criticism for extra fees on the gym and spa/pool and occasional lounge access hassles, though some guests find them acceptable overall. Breakfast opinions range from excellent to poor, so expect a practical base where room and amenity quality can vary.

Attention. Il y a toujours des extras à payer. Le prix de l'hôtel est trop cher par rapport au service proposé. L'accès au hammam et à la piscine était normalement gratuit. On nous a demandé de payer un extra car nous ne voulions pas nous faire masser. Tout est cher dans cet hôtel. A éviter.

The location is great, near Taksim, in a calm environment and right opposite the Havas bus stop which goes to the airport. Mind to choose the right room size as the smallest are small whereas executive and others are comfortable and large. They never replied to my 3 messages sent on the system asking for some more information. At the desk, the service was rather cold, very unusual for Istanbul. The rooms are good globally speaking, and the bed is fine. The lounge is a superb idea for the people who paid the access to it. The real disappointment is breakfast: poor quality products are served there and the choice is very limited for a 5 star hotel as they claim to be. Coffee is a simple Nescafe powder machine for example and not good quality vegetables. A serious improvment is required on that point.

The access of the lounge was a bit complicated as it was constantly closed, and we had to ask a team member to open it. The last day, the reception called on the phone at least four times (since 10:30 am) to remind that the check out is at 12:00 pm Also, the carpet in the room should be replaced especially for customers suffering from allergy (my case). Nevertheless, the food are good. The team of the restaurant (9th floor) are amazing !

koldt værelse og igen en udsigt , der skuffer, man skal åbenbart tilkøbe deres lounge adgang uden alkohol for at få et godt værelse, men det koster 1000 kr ekstra for 4 dage og er ikke pengene værd, da man kan få meget mad i nærheden for 1000 kr

Front desk Staff is rude and disrespectful. They speak over you and don’t want to listen. Hotel wanted to scam me and the family by charging us 10 Euros a person per day to use the gym. Wanted to charge us 5 Euros for hair nets for the pool. Checked my reservation and no mention of extra charges for these facilities. Lack of restaurants in the hotel. Would not recommend this place.

Disappointing stay compared to other hotels locally - steep steps up to front of property with no ramp for lugagge or support. Was charged ten euros for using the gym (which is poor quality and the hottest room in the hotel) - this is not made clear before booking or at check in. Staff in the gym reception was rude. Rooms were basic but fine.

we have been at point hotel 3 times in 8 weeks, this is the worst room we have experienced , everthough they call it a deluxe room (better than standard), the bathroom was dirty and needed a total replacement, the windows from bedroom was tinted with no outllook very bad totally your have to choose a room with lounge access to get a proper room, but we dont need the lounge access, we are in Istanbull every month, we will move back to Intercontinental on the other side of the street , a little more expensive but much better

I chose this hotel mainly because of its very central location, right next to where the HavaBus airport buses depart, and it turned out to be a great decision. Getting around was extremely easy. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful throughout my stay, and the overall service was excellent. My room was spotless and well maintained, the bed was very comfortable, and the towels and linens were exceptionally clean and smelled fresh. I felt genuinely comfortable during my stay and was very satisfied overall. I would definitely choose this hotel again on my next visit. The only minor downside was that the TV only offered cable channels. For a five-star hotel, it would be nice to have streaming platforms such as Netflix available. Other than that, everything was great.

We paid for a deluxe room after we saw pictures on their website, but we got a room far from being deluxe. The room was very little compared to what we saw on the pictures and we had no view at all. We had to draw the curtains because otherwise people could see us from the building right in front of us.

This hotel is very conveniently located just a short walk from Taksim Square and right in front of where the HAVAIST bus from the airport stops. Public transportation options are available in the square. The room we had was very nice and quite large, the largest room we had during our entire three week trip. I was just here for an overnight but it was perfect for me and would stay here again.

⚠️ THIS IS NOT A 5-STAR HOTEL — IT’S A 3-STAR AT BEST. AVOID. Do not be fooled by the 5-star label. This hotel is no more than a 3-star facility with poor service and serious issues. I was upgraded to a junior suite on the 8th floor — directly under a noisy 9th-floor kitchen or construction zone. Staff were already aware of the noise problem but still assigned the room. That night, from 8 PM to 2 AM, loud drilling and banging continued nonstop. I couldn’t sleep. Calls to the front desk achieved nothing. I even went in person — still, no action taken. Worse, the hotel never informed me about ongoing construction, nor offered compensation. This is unacceptable. Before the noise, the Wi-Fi didn’t work and there was no hot water until a technician fixed it. The next morning, I was moved back to a standard room — too late to fix the damage. Let me be clear: ❌ Not a 5-star hotel. ❌ No proper service or accountability. ❌ Inconsistent, noisy facilities. ❌ You won’t get rest here. ✅ Only the location is convenient — close to the airport shuttle and Taksim Square. But if you actually want to sleep, this is the worst possible choice. This hotel ruined my night in Istanbul. Don’t let it ruin yours. Stay elsewhere.

Everything was really great; however, it was very hot inside the room as the AC was not fully working since it was raining the first couple of days we were there and the central heating was on. The cleaning staff were great as well; however, they were very loud in the morning and we were awakened one day because of their loud and chatter. Nonetheless, all in all, the staff is ver friendly and the hotel is amazing.

First of all, the staff at the reception was very slow and extremely rude. He was so rude that he was wagging his finger and several times he raised his voice at me, his behavior was almost like was to beat. The room cleaning was average. The window in the room cannot be opened, one cannot breathe fresh air. The bed was too soft, my back was in pain in the morning. The man who placed the buns at breakfast did so without wearing gloves. There was a long hair on the cheese plate. There was also hair in the cherry tomatoes I took on my plate. How can a hotel be this awful, it does not deserve its stars.
