What guests think

Travellers describe The Independent Hotel Taksim as a centrally located base near Istiklal and Taksim, with friendly staff and good value, but a nightlife-heavy street brings very loud music and crowd noise late into the night.

Cleanliness feedback is mixed, from tidy rooms and regular service to stained linens, dusty floors and bathrooms that need better attention. Rooms range from spacious with comfortable beds to small or a bit worn, with occasional AC, heating or hot water issues, and the elevator begins at the first floor so some stair climbing is required. Best for travelers who want central nightlife access and can tolerate late-night noise over premium comfort.

Foram poucos dias, o hotel fica em um lugar de difícil acesso, é simples, mas é limpo, fica próximo de muitos lugares, bares, lanchonetes, casas noturnas, praças. Não tem café da manhã, o banheiro tinha acabado o sabonete e não foi reposto. O atendimento é muito bom.

Otel genel anlamı ile güzeldi temizliği konumu özellikle odaların tabanlarının yüksek oluşu odaları çok cerrah yapmış tek sıkıntı tarihi bir yapı olusundan kaynaklı asansörun birinci kattan itibaren oluşu idi

Hotel was clean and neat, very close to Istiklal street however the only part that was dissapointing is the lift starts on the first floor not on the ground floor so we had to do some heavy lifting to the first floor.

It is a small hotel , but comfortable and economic. easy access to everywhere near Taxim . Isteklal street is 1 minute walk , Taxim square is 5 minutes walk . Easy access to all transportation. The room was a bit small Or maybe my room was small . I stayed on 3rd floor . But the good thing is that the rooms are sound proof . And air-conditioned . I will definitely stay there again . Oh by way the for those who travel with car , this property don’t have car park nearby , but there are few paid car parkings about 5 minutes by walking distance.

Towels and bedsheets came in very dirty with all sorts of stains. Asked for new ones and they gave us even worse towels (bedsheets never got changed). The lock on the door doesn’t close all the way, kind of hangs in the middle so the lock doesn’t seem very safe. Asked the receptionist for a new room, got told that every room is full. Then when I asked him to help me out with the lock he acted very reluctant to help. Room got cleaned twice during our 5 day stay. Only the bed got made during the cleaning, no vacuum cleaning or anything like that so expect a very disgusting floor. Location is not very suitable for family’s or elderly couples. The hotel is between all the bars and clubs. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL AT ALL.

Los cuartos estan bonitos pero las camas las mas duras del mundo! Termine con dolor de espalda! Aparte las escaleras huelen a cigarrillos muy desagradable y las sabanas no se ven recien lavadas! Pero lo mas incomodo es el ruido porque la mayoría de los bares estan justo abajo.

Otelin konumu çok rahat. Bina, tarihi olması dolayısıyla oldukça yüksek tavanlı, çok ferah odalara sahip. Yatak rahat, banyo geniş, tertemiz bir oteldi. Memnun kaldık. Yalnızca bir sorun vardı, bazı insanlar için çok önemli olabilir. Çok merkezi bir yerde bulunması dolayısıyla sanırım sabah 6'ya kadar dışarıdan gelen müzik ve gürültü sesleri hiç kesilmedi. (12'den sonra müzik yasağı burada işlemiyor anlaşılan) odada kendimiz yüksek sesli müzik açarak onun eşliğinde ancak uyuyabildik. Belki arkada kalan odalarda bu problem olmuyordur. Genel olarak otelden memnun kalmış olsak da bu büyük bir handikaptı. Teşekkür ederiz yine de.

Seçim yaparken İstanbulun trafik yoğunluğunu yaşamadan gitemk istediğimiz yerlere yakın temiz hesaplı bir yer kriteriyle yola çıktık. Hepsini karşıladı. Girişi biraz küçüktü. Odalar da çyle ama zaten sadece uyuymak için kullandığımız için gayet yeterliydi. Personel gayet nazik, güler yüzlü ve yardıımeverdi. İlk gece klimamızda bir sorun oldu biraz üşüdük ama söyleyince hemen müdahele ettiler. Kıızm ve arkadaşıyla 3 kişilik bir odada kaldık. Çok olumlu bir izlenimle ayrıldık. Yeri çok kolay ve merkezi. Bou lokasyon için geldiğimizde yine tercih ederiz.

Perfecte locatie in het bruisende centrum van Istanbul. Restaurants en winkels op loopafstand. Galata Tower op loopafstand. Mooie kamers en badkamers, vriendelijke schoonmakers en die hun werk echt goed ! Maar belabberde personeel bij het inchecken, ze wilde dat wij dubbel zouden betalen, en dit proberen ze bij iedere gast die incheckt. Telkens wanneer je weer langs de incheckbalie loopt hoor je hetzelfde verhaal, jullie hebben maar een deel betaald. Echte oplichters! Wij hebben voet bij stuk gehouden en niks extra betaald.

No problems here - you can shop on Iskatel st. or use the metro or take the underground train { in the metro stat. } to Kabatas and then get on the tram and view the Bosphorus strait- easily. Or if you are a hiker - head out and beat feet to the water views of the Bosphorus - 30 - 35 min - max. from Iskatel st. Check out the kafe's.
