Отличен избор
Pros:

За втори път избрахме този хотел за нашето ежегодно пътуване по женски в Истанбул. Отново останахме изключително доволни от всичко - закуска, удобства, отношение на персонала, локация. Единствено в една от петте стаи(тази на етаж 5) имаше някакъв шум като от вентилация, за който уведомихме хотела, надяваме се, че ще го отстранят.

Pros:

Hotel is located in a very nice and lively neighborhood. It is close to Istiklal on foot. However, always take into account that the city is not on a straight line so be prepared for walking. When we arrived they had updated our room to a bigger one. Hotel was cosy and we much appreciated the elegant design. Staff was friendly, kind and always with smile (specially the guys in the restaurant).

Room was functional as there were also a closets available, clean and comfortable. The drivers that they arranged for the transfer to and from the airport were good enough and we would suggest to use this service as the majority of the taxi drivers are very bad.

To conclude, we were very satisfied with the hotel and we would recommend for your stay.

Cons:

The only cons were:
1. The price for the transition from the airport had been changed without previous update. However they had already updated our stay to a larger room.
2. Breakfast is typical turkish and common in other hotels also. The variety might not cover anyone
3. This is not related to the hotel but to the city. Be prepared for the scammer in metro station, the shoeblack and in the egyptian bazaars

Amazing stay, clean room the staff are helpful
Pros:

Amazing location close to everything and lots of variety, the staff is very nice I really would like to say a big thank you to Mustafa as the roads were all closed he helped me with all my bags to go to the train station and spoke to the uber driver from his phone to ensure I am in the correct place for pick up. It was very clean and very comfortable place that you can enjoy.

Cons:

The breakfast, there was no much of variety.

Excellent Stay – Highly Recommended
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at AHC Taksim hotel Beyoglu and would absolutely choose it.
Perfect Location: It’s located in a wonderfully quiet area, yet it is incredibly close to Istiklal Street. You get the best of both worlds—peaceful nights and instant access to the action.
Endless Dining Options: The neighborhood is packed with a fantastic variety of restaurants and cafes right at your doorstep.
Fantastic Breakfast: The breakfast spread was delicious with a great variety of foods to choose from. A massive plus was that breakfast is served until 10:30 AM, which is perfect if you love a sleep-in.
Spotless Cleanliness: The cleanliness was top-notch. Our room was cleaned to perfection every single day.
Wonderful Staff: The team here is incredibly welcoming, helpful, and attentive. They truly made us feel at home.
