The Central Palace Taksim

I recently stayed at The Central Hotel Taksim, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff greeted me with warm smiles and outstanding hospitality. The check-in process was quick and smooth, and they ensured I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The room was spacious, modern, and impeccably clean. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the amenities provided were of excellent quality. I also loved the beautiful view of the city from my room, which made my stay even more memorable. The hotel’s location is unbeatable—right in the heart of Taksim, close to all the main attractions, restaurants, and shops. Despite its central location, the atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing, perfect for unwinding after exploring the vibrant streets of Istanbul. The breakfast buffet was a highlight of my stay, offering a wide range of delicious options to start the day. The restaurant staff were attentive and friendly, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. Overall, my time at The Central Hotel Taksim exceeded all expectations. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Istanbul, whether for business or leisure. I will definitely be returning on my next trip!

Free valet parking a big bonus in Istanbul. There are 3 underground floors for dining and conferences. The hotel is much bigger than it looks. Lifts. Fantastic buffet breakfast. Fantastic room. If you take a bath you need to get the flow from the tap correct to avoid wetting the floor.

The hotel room we had booked was "upgraded to a better room", likely because the sea view ones were booked. This was fine, however the breakfast is less optimal than expected most items were hard to combine as someone coming from west Europe, this is preference and also fine. The big problem arised when the room we wete in flooded due to poor bath insulation. We filled the bath with a regular amount and one person got in and it all came out from underneath wetting the bathroom and the wooden floors and our clothes. From the looks of the floor it was not the first time either, this should never happen. A small detail a lot of the outlets did not work. Lastly all the spa and sauna facilities were out of commision which was only mentioned after asking and was a shame.
