Grand Hotel Palmiye

Sehr gute, zentrale Lage. Freundliches Personal.

The staff were very friendly and accommodating.. the area was great, close to taksim square and the shopping street. However, the facilities and rooms are not what i expected from the photos.

It was a very nice place , perfect for staying in Taksim!

Great location in a wonderful city

Gute Lage.

Staff were very friendly. Hotel location is very good. Price to quality ratio was worth it. Will happily stay here when in Istanbul again

Bu otelde iki defa kaldım, ikisinde de penceresiz odada kaldım.

Vanhan asiakas suhteen myötä luotettava Hotelli.Siisteys hyvä.Halpa hinta,mutta silti kaikki tarvittava löytyy.Esim ilmastointi ja jääkaappi.Kiva aamiainen.Erittäin miellyttävä henkilökunta.Olen majaillut tässä Hotellissa monta kertaa.

Wir waren eine Familie und haben da 6 Nächte verbracht. Zustand und Einrichtungen der Unterkunft waren ganz ok, gute Internetverbindung aber leider die Sauberkeit war schlecht (Bettwäsche und Badezimmer waren schmutzig) und unfreundliche Personal. Umgebung der Unterkunft war richtig laut. Persönlich werde ich nicht weiterempfehlen.

Sehr gute Lage

Zentrale Lage Taksim

The best part of my stay was the hotel staff, in particular Gökhan. Warm and friendly they made me feel like I was “coming home” when I go back to the hotel. Excellent location.

Safe

Goede locatie met gezellige winkels, restaurants en andere uitgangsgeledenheden tot laat in de nacht open. Het is wel een winkel en uitgangsgbied, dus luid met muziek en schreeuwende mensen tot 04:00.

Hotel itself was ok and nicely situated near Taksim Square. Staff were friendly, and even though we got up late most days the staff always cleaned room once we asked. Room was small but was cosy. Wifi didnt work. Biggest issue we had was lack of sleep due to the many clubs around from which you could hear loud music until around 4am every morning. Then you could hear the clean up truck cleaning the streets.. Big problem for many hotels of this stretch.

Das Motel ist das schlimmste was in mein leben gesehen habe bilder und realität passen nie zusammen schrecklich ..das motel ist sehr reperatur bedürftig sehr central aber das ist lange keine entschuldigung ,sanitären sachen kaputt defekt .handtuch halter tualetten papier halter hängt ab mit dübelln dusch anlage ebenso tägliches sauvermachen gibts nicht weder im zimmer badeschuhe sonstiges was in expedia steht simmt niht zb.zimmer mit balkon wird angeboten verkauft vor ort sagen sie gibt kein balkon sondern niesche mehr nicht das ist betrug ..irre führend jeder hostel ist besser als so eine absteige nie zu empfehlen schade fürs geld...mitarbeiter unfähig unfreundlich können nicht mal kritik annehmen weder englisch noch deutsch noch türkisch können sie reden sind aus kasachsten reden russisch rate keden ab expedia mitarbeiter konnte nicht viel helfen schade kunde ist nicht könig sondern hotelier schade

I think the best thing about this hotel is its staff as helpful and kind they are. However the hotel has problems in details. They can serve breakfast more professional. Our room was big and cozy but unwanted sound penetrated from everywhere!!. The location is great but it is really noisy. The bars and clubs around the hotel are open till 5A.M and there is an awful singer in the front bar, which will annoy you indeed.

i booked a night stay at the hotel payment was done through booking.com
once at the hotel i was surprised that the hotel is fully booked even my room. the receptionist was very rude and he barely speaks English. my booking was for a double room and he gave me a single room over looking the stairs. The smell of pint is disaster i couldn't breath. the hotel is in a mess and the staff are very rude.
it was the worst night of my life and i'll never come back again

Hello everyone! Just yesterday I returned from Istanbul, where I first stayed in the Taksim area ... if you want parties and fun until the morning, you are here ... but at the same time the hotel where I stayed Grand Hotel Palmiye is a little away from the noisy but at the same time fantastically lively streets of Istiklal. The hotel is not large but cozy, there is an elevator, which is not present in that district. I was met by a wonderful Receptionist - Murat (huge hello to him), the check-in was quick and without delay ...
About the room: I ordered a room with a balcony - small one and you must understand that in this area of old houses there will be only French balconies; the cleaning was done every day with the replacement of towels (and they did not bother and came later if I was in the room during the cleaning).
Somehow everything turns out sweetly ... aha ha ha ... a couple of downsides - old plumbing and poor breakfast.
About breakfast: minimal - but by the way you won't stay hungry ...
In general, the Grand Hotel Palmiye has everything to see beautiful Istanbul, walk along the old streets and, of course, relax and gain strength for the next day. Excellent staff will always help you answer your questions and provide possible services.

We spent 2 nights in Istanbul during Covid time. This place is located in the crowded city center, you should know that if there was no lockdown then the noise would bother you, but that was something we benefited from in a quiet time. We could reach anywhere easily and be in the middle of tourist attractions.
The room I booked had 2 queen beds accommodating 4, and I did not pay much attention to the measures given, but it is really small for 4, it could have been annoying in case you want to stay longer.
They provided delicious breakfast and we had our PCR tests in the hotel at a cheaper price than at the airport.
The best part of our stay was the kind and helpful staff.
