The stay
Editor's notes
Breakfast & dining
The open-buffet breakfast is one of the hotel's strongest points in reviews; mostly Turkish breakfast and varied. The hotel restaurant serves dinner from Turkish and international cuisine, and the lobby bar offers snacks and drinks; a free daily 'manager's reception' is offered. There are many restaurant alternatives within walking distance.
Room types
101 rooms in total: standard, superior and junior suite types, all with soundproofed windows, a safe and a flat-screen TV. Standard rooms are small; if staying with luggage, choose a superior or junior suite. Since heating and cooling are a central system, room temperature control can be limited during seasonal transitions. For quiet, ask for rear/garden-facing rooms.
Noise & sound insulation
Rooms have soundproofed windows, and Recep Paşa Caddesi is calm compared with Taksim's main arteries; reviews generally find the rooms quiet. Still, the area is busy at night; lower-floor street-facing rooms may get noise on weekend nights.
Extra fees & things to know
Massage and spa treatments are paid. As there is no parking, the cost of outside parking should be added to the budget. Non-refundable rates are sold on some channels; check the cancellation terms at booking.

Four Points Flex by Sheraton Istanbul Taksim Square
Istanbul · Beyoğlu · ★★★★
A 42-room, no-frills Marriott property a few minutes' walk from Taksim Square, reopened in 2024 in the former Senator Hotel building. Location and transport links are the main draw; rooms are compact and street-side rooms can be noisy at night.
- Rail transit 100 m
InterContinental Istanbul
Istanbul · Beyoğlu · ★★★★★
A 390-room tower on the northern edge of Taksim's Gezi Park, opened as a Sheraton in 1975 and run as an InterContinental since 1995, with Bosphorus views from the upper floors. Guests consistently rate the walkable location and the breakfast buffet highly, but expect some dated room decor and paid extras for parking, transfers and breakfast.
