We just returned from a family vacation in Istanbul and stayed at Vardar for 1 week. It was a great experience. Excellent location, great rates and breakfast included. The only downfall was the beds too hard. The hotel was extremely clean. Great staff as a resource for tours and restaurants. Location was wonderful. Restaurants circled the hotel without the added...

Excellent and cosy hotel, very good location, one block from Taksim square. Rooms are spacious and price of the rooms are very reasonable. Very helpful and friendly staff. When booking a room make sure to get a back side room. Front side rooms can be noisy while the traffic is quite heavy and the street is crowded, specially on weekend... More

We had big concerns about the noise based on other reviews but our 5th floor room was very quiet. The room was quite large and clean. The bed was nice and AC and wifi worked well. The location is perfect as it is very close to Taksim square which every cab driver can get you to. Also a great location... More

We recently stayed at Vardar for three nights and I can say I really love the place - rooms are even better than on the photos and are very spacious. Huge windows on the street side makes the room really light. Bathroom is nice and new including all the typical toiletteries. Staff is really nice and havent ever seen anyone... More

The room furniture and the bathroom were OK but there is a nightclub two doors away from Vardar Palace that plays horribly loud music till dawn. It is so loud that it rocks and shakes the hotel. If you have a room facing the street, you will spend (a) sleepless night(s). I asked for another room but I was told... More

I liked the hotel very much, sort of cosy... very good location, within steps from Istiqlal street and Taxim square, the heart of the city... excellent panoramic view from rooftop varenda tables on Bosphor sea, good airconditioning, clean. Very good value for money. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Perhaps it needs more varities in breakfast and toiletters, but overall... More

We are halfway through our stay here and while the internet did go out on us that was about the only issue so far. In general its somewhat an odd structure but essentially it's like a Holiday inn in what you get. The beds are typical for Turkey, not plush mattresses but comfortable enough. We have a flat screen tv... More

great location,everything is within walking distance. i love the beyoglu neighborhood and recommend this hotel if you plan to stay there. i love the rooftop for evening cocktails. our room had a streetside balconey and the street is teeming with energy till the wee hours of the morning which for some people may be a bit much but for me...

The hotel's location near Taksim and Istiklal Cadessi is the strongest point. The evening staff is more friendly and knowledgeable. Beware-there are different types of bathrooms. I one I got was tiny! While I had no view so to speak, it was not as noisy as the street facing rooms. The star rating must be a joke. If you are... More
