The hotel is located about 100 meters far from Taksim square, where bus, metro and taxis are available. In addition, being close to Taksim means easy access to shops, restaurants and exchange offices on Istiklal (pedestrian) street and the adjacent streets. We got a room on the 7th floor and it was very nice, clean and quiet. The bathroom was... More

The room is too hot and humid even in peak winter. I and my wife were sweating during the 4 nights which we spend over there. The outside average tempertature was 5 degree celsious, but the inside tempretaure was around 30 degree celsious.

I have stayed there for 3 times and if you are on a business trip and prefer to avoid extra payment for useless luxury, I suggest the hotel to you! The hotel is well located nearby Taksim square which gives you the chance to spend your free time by window shopping, walking and nice cuisine in Taksim Area. the lobby... More

Typical city hotel, with slightly lacklustre rooms and public areas, however the Cafe bar on the ground floor and the rooftop restaurant both serve good food and the staff are cheerful and helpfull. Don't rely on wake up... More

We stayed at the Gonen with Riviera Travel for our Ephesus, Gallipoli and Istanbul tour. I dont think it could be faulted. Free wi-fi in rooms. Nice breakfast and good downstairs restaurant for evening meals. Road works in Taksim Sq but thats not the fault of the hotel!!
