The lobby area is well maintained however the rooms need more care and attention. There was a lot of marks on the carpet floor , walls , and overall dust in many places. The staff were helpful I had to change from my first room due to bed bugs when I mentioned it to the receptionist Elif at reception she changed my room to the 5th floor which was better. The location is excellent we walked to majority of our places however cleanliness can be improved definitely. The concierge team are very helpful.

The cleanliness, breakfast or services did not meet 5 star standards. I have stayed in many 5 star hotels and this is around 3 star worthy. We had a wet carpet for our entire stay and hotel staff clearly just didn’t understand or try to understand what we was saying. We had to request new towels daily & our room was only cleaned once on a 4 night stay. Cleaning staff enter the room despite the clearly displayed sign left us feeling uncomfortable and unsafe, on two occasions (one morning) and we do not believe this was handled appropriately at all.
We were additionally disappointed with the breakfast. The breakfast selection had very little variety. Although we paid for breakfast as part of our stay, we only ate there once and ended up purchasing breakfast elsewhere for the remainder of the trip due to the poor experience.
Spa tried to charge us full price despite online stating 20% off for people staying in the hotel - when queried she offered 15% off instead - booked this hotel for the spa experience and did not end up doing!
Located in a good place where most things are walking distance.

They advertise room with breakfast and the charge you for it too, a really high price but when you go to register, the people work there with bad attitude and bad customer services and they don’t accommodate you with any of the lies they advertise, even you prove your room is reserved with breakfast they will not accommodate you. They will send you back to where you booked the hotel from, make sure you have a copy of your booking in a picture of the advertising before you go to the hotel and also I went to the register, asked them to provide me a ride to airport, the same day I arrived to the hotel ,they did not register any taxi and I was waiting for Taxi for half hour to go to airport almost missed my flight. I gave this hotel -1

We arrived at around 6 am tired from the flight and dreading having to wait until check-in time. The receptionist was very friendly and welcoming and checked us in immediately. They even upgraded us to a room with a terrace view which was stunning, with views over the beautiful hills of Istanbul on one side and the bosphorus on the other. We had a higher floor so out view was exceptional. Very friendly staff who seemed genuinely delighted to help. Spa also included (except for massages) although we didn't use it.

The hotel looks great esthetically. The rooms are much smaller than what the pictures make them seem. Very dated. The AC didnt work consistently it would cool for 5 mins and blow warm humid air The rest of the day. No storage in the room for long stays. The showering amenities like shampoo are really low quality and Im one who never has an issue with this but I had an issue with their product. The carpets had stains and crust feel and need to cahnged. The pillows were lumpy and really poor. I had 4 different sized pillows lol. The breakfast buffet was great!

The hotel also has nice swimming pool, sauna, steam room and hammam. Walking distance to Taksim Square, transport link and main shopping street.

Breakfast can be improved. Fruits and salads nice and fresh and you can order omelettes.

The room was clean; however, the carpets needed a deep cleaning, as there were visible wine and coffee stains. Also, although our floor was supposed to be non-smoking, there was still a noticeable smell of smoke, even in the room. The breakfast had a good variety, and the staff were nice and helpful.

It was a really lovely stay. Staff were very friendly and helpful, especially Aziz who felt like a family member more than a staff member. Thanks also to Elif and Meryem at reception, the lovely lady supervisor who checked in every morning at breakfast to check if we had any comments or were enjoying our stay and the helpful house keeping staff. The breakfast buffet was varied and fresh, the hotel was clean and very well located, a few minutes walk feom Taksim Square and the metro station, as well as having a lot of other public transport connections and a variety of buses to catch. The hotel was located within a few roads that had limited car traffic and were surrounded by security and police at all hours so it felt safe even when walking home at midnight. Would definitely come back.

The hotel was excellent the rooms were extremely well equipped and were up to standards. We were to be checked in at 2pm however when we got there past two we were told that the rooms were not ready and we had to wait a further two hours. The staff are very unfriendly and when they realise that you are a foreigner they try their best to avoid you however they will go beyond for people that speak their language or are their nationality. My daughter had an accident on the hotels stairs outside due to the rain making the steps slippery and not one staff member came out to check on her or help. The other hotels near by had carpets on their stairs to make sure no one slips but even after the accident no improvement was made. The hotel staff are very unfriendly and do not with to communicate with anyone who does not speak the national language and they are very rude. The rooms in general were amazing and our stay was very comfortable but the staff were very rude and our experience with the staff was very disappointing.

The hotel is well presented, but there are a few things I would like to mention.

The soundproofing was very poor—we could hear people at the end of the corridor, as well as in the rooms next to us.

Reception did not make any effort to contact us, despite the fact that we didn’t check in on the first day due to our flight being cancelled. There were also no upgrade offers, even though the hotel did not appear to be very busy.

The only aspect that worked well was housekeeping—consistently friendly and efficient throughout our stay.

My recommendation would be to stay at a hotel chain run by a Western brand.

Sadly the hotel spa and pool did not meet expectations. It was too expensive and I could not use the pool as a piece of plastic around the pool broke and I fell down.

It's near tons of shops and restaurants. The wheelchair ramp is too steep for people that use a walking stick and would be impossible for wheelchair users.
The rooms are great with both a bathtub and showers. Very well maintained daily room cleaning.

I recently stayed at Elite World Istanbul Taksim Hotel for one week, and I can say that my experience exceeded all expectations. From the moment I arrived until the day of departure, everything was handled with professionalism, warmth, and genuine care.

The hotel itself is exceptionally well maintained, with comfortable rooms, high standards of cleanliness, and a calm, welcoming atmosphere that immediately makes you feel at home. Every detail from the quality of the facilities to the attentiveness of the staff reflects a strong commitment to guest satisfaction.

I would especially like to highlight Hengameh from the Guest Relations team, whose support truly made my stay outstanding. She demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, kindness, and attentiveness throughout my visit. Hengameh went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of my stay was smooth and comfortable, always checking in with genuine care and promptly addressing any requests or questions I had. Her calm manner, warm personality, and willingness to help made a significant difference and created a truly memorable experience.

It is rare to encounter such a high level of personalised service, and Hengameh is undoubtedly a great asset to the hotel. Her dedication reflects the excellent culture and values of Elite Hotel as a whole.

I would highly recommend Elite Hotel to anyone looking for comfort, quality service, and a truly pleasant stay. I very much look forward to returning in the future.

Some of the staff was courteous. Hotel didn’t reserve transportation from airport on time as requested. As a result, I ended up spending about two hours waiting for the hotel to resolve the issue. Finally they got me a dingy old beat up van to pick me up from the airport, and I had to pay $70 for the ride. They argued that I didn’t reserve transportation on time, but I had provided proof of screen shots of text conversations.
Secondly just as a heads up to any booking this hotel. Pay attention to the room size. The rooms sizes are smaller than anticipated. Didn’t have a microwave in my room. Refrigerator was so small couldn’t hold leftover meals.
