Top Merkez Hotel Reviews

Elite World Grand Istanbul Basın Ekspres

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

The Marmara Taksim

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent big hotel in the heart of Istanbul. I was very happy with the security, cleanliness, breakfast and overall service quality at this hotel. The location was ideal, walkable and close to reliable public transportation. Would stay again. Our Bosphorous view room was also a highlight of the trip."

Çırağan Hotel Bosphorus

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel with quite friendly and helpful staff. Our room was good with confortable bed and spacious bathroom. Well kept. Breakfast was quite an experience with many traditional western breakfast staples and great local delicacies. The park across the street is amazing and walking to the Ciragan palace is easy. By the way make sure that whomever is driving you are clear that they are going to the Ciragan Bosphorus and not to the Ciragan palace. Nice coffees and restaurants in walkable distance. Area has a lot of young people since a couple of universities are in the neighborhood."
