+Hi. The Hotel is very good in all senses. Rooms are big and clean, nicely furnished and fully equipped. Fresh free water and tea is refilled every day. The free SPA and Gym is perfekt to stay in shape and to relax. breakfast buffet is delicious and a mix of local and international dishes. Employees are very friendly and try to generate the best for you individually. Especially Ms. Süreyya was very polite and provided a great service.

“Great hotel, But Check in was a Major disappointment”
+I recently stayed at The Elysium Taksim in Istanbul, and overall, it’s a very good hotel in a prime location. The rooms are spacious and comfortable,much bigger than many in the Taksim area,with large, comfy beds that provided excellent sleep. The bathrooms (toilets and showers) are nice, modern, and spotlessly clean, which was a big plus. Location-wise, it’s fantastic: just about a 10-minute walk to Taksim Square, making it super convenient for exploring Istiklal Street, shops, restaurants, and public transport. No complaints there at all. Unfortunately, the check-in process was really unpleasant and frustrating. We arrived well past the official check-in time, but still had to wait in the lobby for almost an hour before our room was ready. I had to go to the reception desk twice to ask for an update, and each time they just told me to wait without any clear explanation or apology. On my second visit to ask, they finally said the room was ready,but then they let me sit in the reception area without calling me over. It turned out there was a shift change, and the new staff weren’t informed about me or my room status at all. I found this quite rude and unprofessional; it felt like p

“Lovely Hotel With good Location”
+We Stayed 7 Days In This Hotel. All the stuffs were nice. We got Duplex Superior Suite With City View and the view was Great Both in day and night . Our Suite With Tall windows Was very Relaxing and lovely. The Breakfast Was Not as Good As a Luxury Hotel and did not have a good variety and quality. The Cleanliness of The Rooms was excellent and there was a nice smell in all areas of hotel. Also the location was great, just a few minutes walk to Taksim square.

“Failed 5* hotel with bad management”
+A whole lot of show for very little go. The good: - hotel is beautiful - rooms are very large for what you pay - rooms are well equipped - staff knows English and is helpful The bad: - despite of requests, the minibar was empty for all of the three days which we were there for - breakfast is lackluster. Boring. - for dinner avoid the restaurant. It is my belief they keep it open just to check the fact they do operate a restaurant. It is double expensive compared to rest of Istanbul, quality isn’t bad but still unbelievable pricing. - the amenities aren’t of the quality which you’d expect or at least consider normal. The door lock to our room didn’t work 70% of the time, had to wait 2-3-4 minutes in front of the room just for it to open. The ugly: - the beautiful two story room was freshly repainted and smelled as such. Couldn’t open the window because we stayed at the 8th floor. Overall I could sum it up as such. The devil is ALWAYS in the details. And this hotel fails to check the details which can make or break an experience.

“An interesting experience”
+I have added a few details that are not in the Google review because of a misleading reply from the hotel. My family stayed at The Elysium Taksim from 2 Oct to 8 Oct and had seen some mixed reviews and decided to see only because we arrived in Istanbul at almost 830pm local and had been traveling from the US for close to 20 hours. We arrived on the shuttle we booked around 915 and unloaded our luggage and walked in dragging it up stairs with staff watching, we only found out about a ramp when the bellman wheeled our luggage down a ramp that exited behind the valet stand. Check in was disjointed as several staff would start something and then walk away and then another took over. It took longer than it should have close to 20 minutes as we were the only people checking in. I will mention that Elvinia Shapoalova was there, I could read the name tag but she did not help, or introduce herself as the guest relations manager. Down the ramp across a cobblestone street to another building that our rooms were in, supposed to be "deluxe balcony" and when the side facing the main hotel is all windows guessed they were on the other side. There were small balconies that looked over a constructi
