5 star Taksim Independent hotels in Istanbul, Turkey

We rented this unit for 4 people. There was plenty of space for 4 adults traveling together. The living situation is a queen sized bed, a sofa bed (not a pull out), and a separate roll away bed (very comfortable) that they set up. The living space is very clean and has a fully stocked kitchen. The personnel are super friendly. They stayed with us for 20 minutes after showing us the unit to direct us to the major sites we wanted to see. They advised on how to take public transportation (5 minute walk) and when not to take taxis. Everyone was super friendly. The unit was very clean. Every 2 days they came back to clean it again.

Very spacious rooms and aesthetically pleasing. Some issues with sound proofing though, in that you can hear people walking around in the hallway and outside on the street. Also there is a rather steep climb to get up to the main street. Nice view from the restaurant during morning breakfast, which is included. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Overall would recommend despite some shortcomings.

Great central Istanbul location at Taksim Square where there are loads of shops/bars restaurants in the walking area.. Right by the 'funicular' so a few minutes from the port for boats to Asia side and tour boats. Very friendly staff and good food. Rooms clean and comfortable. Pleasant outside dining/bar area. Only slight difficultly was on check in when there was no record of my Expedia booking. This could have not been the Divan's fault at all but anyway they rectified it with complimentary drinks for me and my colleague while rooms were sorted out for us. Top hotel. Definitely will go back.

the hotel had no air conditioning at least not working. Even outside was cold but the first room had no air conditioning and was hot inside and when you open the windows no air flow. When I asked for help the man at the front desk was rude not helpful and said just open window. when I said I did have it opened he just sorry can't help you. next morning I complained to Stephanie who is beyond amazing she changed our room. Even the air didn't work the position of the room had good air coming through the windows. she was extended helpful and knows what customer service is and speaks very well english!!! she is the only reason why I would return to hotel. also location of hotel is great. Also the first room had a broken piece to the bathroom that me and my husband tripped on and hit the floor. OUCH!!!

Great location near taksim. Free upgraded room early 10 am check in late 2 pm Check out. Free daily water and amazing views. wondeful service and very clean.

It's a great location and a perfect setting for a family break! The hotel is well equipped with the utilities and walking distance to so many eating places.. The liveliness of the location adds on to every thing in the Tunnel residence..it's a lil home away from home..

We loved our apartment at Deris Bosphorous Lodge. Beautiful view of the river. Very clean and modern. Central location, between Taksim Square and Old City, with public transportation right outside the building. Very helpful staff who always assisted with any needs from more blankets and sheets to calling us a taxi. Would definitely recommend. Great little coffee shop with pastries nearby for breakfast.

Fantastic hotel,great hospitality and friendly staff. Very kindly upgraded to suite...5 star service

We had a wonderful time at this hotel. It is very clean and comfortable. Also it has got a spectacular view if Istanbul.

This was by far the best experience that we had in Istambul. The staff was professional and friendly. The concierge was so helpful and the hotel is beautiful. Five star treatment all the way. We could have stayed there for another week if we had the time. I highly recommend this place. The breakfast buffet was so extravagant and yummy. Excellent service and the view on top is amazing. The front desk and bellmen were so helpful and went out of their way to help us. The hotel is just beautiful!!!
