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

Great location in Taksim. Rooms are very comfy and ver clean. Breakfast buffet is very good.

I don’t like it smells bad

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

The breakfast is delicious and fresh, staff very friendly, room clean, the mattress should be updated, our stay was excellent

Good location clean room friendly staff

Wonderful location. Rooms are nice size, clean, comfortable. Very friendly staff.

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

Yes, except the orange juice

Staff muito prestativo embora a maioria fale pouco ou quase nada de inglês!

The hotel was in a super convenient locations but was still beautiful and the staff were anttentive and friendly. The spa was really relaxing and offered a wide variety of treatments

Breakfast was disappointing for the quality of the hotel. Rooms were eye wateringly expensive, particularly for a weekend. Position in Taksim Square excellent, but Old City quite a trek away.

I cannot rave enough about this place. Right in the heart of Taksim Square. Amazing staff- Onur helped me with the check-in process. There was also a night manager working the morning of March 19 (Can’t remember the name) he was also super amazing. Because of the time difference my daughter had woken up around 4am, so we went to the lobby to see if anything was available to eat or drink. He kindly offered us juices and coffee for myself and then told us to go for the suhoor that was starting shortly. A highly recommended place to stay solo or with family.

Travelled with family of four so booked two rooms. Centrally located to visit all of the main attractions and for shopping. Clean property with all of the amenities, good size rooms especially for families but king bed was very uncomfortable due to the dip in the middle. Had issue with rain shower but it was eventually fixed. I would recommend staying here due to its location, cleanliness and amenities.

Ok

Amazing

Clean room/ great staff and nice location

Location, staff were very good.

The room was absolutely beautiful, the bed and pillows oh so dreamy comfortable and the staff everything you expect from a Sofitel. The Executive Lounge is small, but its offerings were delicious during cocktail hour. The location is great. We will return.
