Sofitel Istanbul Taksim

The exterior and entrance are beautiful, but that is where the 5-star experience ends. The rooms are nice, yet the windows were extremely dirty and the view was terrible. Breakfast was a major disappointment, more like a 3-star level: industrial quality pastries, undercooked muffins, and poor savory options. Surprisingly, the Ibis near the Istanbul Fair offers better quality and choice for a fifth of the price. The SPA lacks a whirlpool, and the sauna and hammam are mediocre for this category. Furthermore, the noise from the rooftop restaurant was deafening until 1:00 AM, even on the 7th floor. I do not recommend this hotel as there are much better 4 and 5-star options nearby for a lower or similar price. Don't be fooled by the magnificent facade.

The best location for night walks. Lots of shops and cafe around

Fantastic location. Hotel is really nice. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Breakfast was perfect. Nice indoor pull and sauna.

Ok

Room was clean and spacious, staff was friendly and eager to meet our needs! Would stay again.
