Negatives: Water pressure is weak. Room temperature can’t be adjusted above 22C. Curtains don’t block the sunlight. Limited hooks for towels in the bath and the ones they have are not well placed. At times, there was a wait for a bowl and for a spoon at breakfast.

Positives: View from rooftop restaurant. The best night light in the bathroom I’ve seen. A nice dental kit for supplementing whatever you’ve brought with you.

Beautiful facility, great location for tourism in Taxsim area, great ground floor cafe and rooftop restaurant amenities. For me the hours of free Steam & Sauna 09:00-22:00 were the same hours I was out of the hotel as a tourist exploring so I cannot rate them. Extending steam and sauna hours to before breakfast (07:00-23:59) and after dinner would have been beneficial for my schedule and a great way to start and end the day.

We booked the hotel as my friend has stayed at other Rixos hotel/resorts, however this hotel was a bit underwhelming in comparison. It was wasn't terrible but not great either - average at best. Location is very convenient and walkable to the main shopping and dining areas and the Galata area. If you're looking for a quiet, relaxing hotel, this is probably not the hotel to stay in as the immediate area outside the hotel gets really busy with taxi traffic which can be heard in your room (which was especially annoying with the windows open).
The rooms are ok, kind of basic for a 5 star hotel as are the toiletries (I'd recommend bringing your own shampoo and conditioner) we had twin room and thought the beds were narrow but comfortable. There was no main light, so lighting was always a bit dim in the room. The bathrooms could really do with some ventilation as well. The mini chocolates at the end of each night were a nice touch however.
We didn't eat/drink at the hotel bar/restaurant - prices are very expensive and being next to Iskitlal street, you're not short of options as a plus. All on all, an Ok stay but am surprised this is considered a 5 star hotel.

Dishonest, uncaring and cold

I spent the first night only because of the cancellation policy. That was on 9/6/24, The hotel has yet to return the money paid for the other 10 nights. It has blamed Hotels.com, Expedia, the banks, their finance department and I guess it will be God next as to why the funds have not been refunded. This is disgraceful, disappointing and dishonest. Left a very bad taste in my mouth. Would never stay at any of their related properties either.
I also witnessed the callousness of the staff towards a guest that fell and broke her hip on the property. She faced a grueling trip home to South Africa but was trying to address why they had her taken to a public hospital which misdiagnosed her fractured hip as a strain, She was ignored and dismissed. I thought it so cruel I could not sleep. This on top of the fact that my room overlooked a noisy street, the sofa had what appeared to be cigarette holes in it. In addition, to get to my room, I had to cross a courtyard while it rained and there was no protective covering. I could go on but you get the picture….

The front desk staff were excellent. I have stayed here and rebooked as I had a lovely pre-pandemic experience. Unfortunately, the housekeeping was very poor this time. They left our beds unmade several times and failed to turn up a couple of times. The curtain in the room fell and I asked persistently for three days to have this fixed, which was not done, resulting in us having to sleep with light glaring from outside. I will sadly not return.

Our family, including two small kids, stayed at this hotel for nine days. Here are some pros and cons based on our experience:

Cons:
1. Noise Issue:
- There was a backyard in front of our family suite where the hotel held special programs, including live music, every night. Unfortunately, the very loud music continued until 1am or later, which was a big problem for us with small kids. Despite calling the front desk a few times, it seemed they didn't have the authority to change the program.

2. Room Card Issues:
- The room cards frequently stopped working for no apparent reason, requiring daily trips to the front desk to fix the issue.

3. Parking:
- The hotel does not have its own parking. If you rent a car, you'll need to park in a nearby public parking lot.

Pros:
1. Staff:
- All the staff are amazing, kind, and helpful.

2. Location:
- The location is perfect, very close to İstiklal Street.

3. Breakfast:
- Breakfast is served on the roof with a stunning view. The staff's service during breakfast is excellent and memorable.

4. Room Service:
- The room service is outstanding. After a long day in Istanbul, coming back to a well-serviced room was very enjoyable.

5. Turkish Hamam:
- The hotel offers a Turkish Hamam that is definitely worth trying.

Overall, despite some inconveniences, we appreciated the hospitality and enjoyed our stay.

We had the most amazing stay in the Rixos , the hotel is so nice and elegant and clean , it was the highlight in our stay in Istanbul, ThE location is amazing not really in the high traffic and noisy street of the Istiklal , but still a short walking distance, was easy to get an Uber or a taxi from the front of the hotel.
The staff was amazing and so helpful .they checked us in immediately when we arrived , they didn’t tell us to wait till after 2:00 pm.
Had an amazing roof top restaurant and garden cafe and another restaurant downstairs , the food was really good, the bedrooms were all clean and new , the dulex room with sea view was really nice and worth the price.

I had an extremely disappointing stay at this hotel due to multiple issues that were poorly handled. The room was unbearably noisy, making it impossible to sleep because of the loud disturbances late at night. When we complained, the front desk attendant, Emre, promised a room switch to an ocean front for the following day, which unfortunately never happened.

Further adding to the frustration, Emre assured us that a taxi reservation was made for an early 4:30 AM departure. This too turned out to be untrue, and no taxi was arranged. If it weren't for a last-minute Uber, we would have missed our flight.

Having traveled extensively and stayed at numerous hotels, I've never felt so misled. It's particularly disheartening when staff, particularly at the reception, promise solutions only to discover they are empty assurances. I cannot recommend this hotel as the trust in its service and integrity was completely lacking.

A good stay but..

The hotel is located in excellent location, few meters to middle of istiklal street. For us it was not really good to be in such active area because there is no possibility to have cold temperature of AC during winter. So opening the window was our only bad option. Whether it is towards the main street or pedestrian street, both were so noisy. The hotel is super clean and the staff are good.

Heating was always super strong. Two incidents affected my happiness with the stay. First one was that staff knock once on the door and enter even when the do not disturb sign is on which we addressed. 2nd one was the hotel charging us for the coffee pods in the room, i move around alot and this was a first at a five stars hotel like the Rixos. Come on guys its 2023 no body charges for that in a room unless you ask for extra !

Excessively Noisy and HOT!

I was very disappointed overall. Our room was hot after the first day and we were told that they turned off the A/C. The hotel is located in an extremely noisy area so when we opened the window for fresh air the constant traffic (honking of horns continuously) made it impossible to sleep well. House keeping was a mess. No dusting, trash cans not emptied, no coffee or water replacement some days. We asked 4 times before we got the coffee sent up. But mainly they promised to change our room to another tower that allowed us to control the temperature in the room for the second portion of our stay (we checked out for 3 days but had arranged to return for 2 more days) and when we came back the upgraded us to a suite next door in that had the exact same issues. I preferred a quiet room with A/C not a larger room! Everyone was very apologetic but never with any good results! I will not recommend this hotel.
