5.8/10

Staying at Arts Hotel Taksim had its ups and downs. The location was super convenient with easy access to Taksim Square, which is a major highlight for exploring Istanbul. However, I faced issues with cleanliness and the overall quality of service was lacking, which made my experience less enjoyable than I hoped.

Rooms

5.0

My room was cramped, and the bathroom did not meet the expected cleanliness standards. The housekeeping team was often noisy, and I found it disruptive. Plus, I had to request water daily, which felt unnecessary for a hotel.

Service

5.0

The reception staff were unfriendly, and I received poor answers when I inquired about basic needs. For instance, when I asked about getting shower towels, the response was rude, which soured my experience.

Location

6.0

On the bright side, the hotel's location is fantastic, right near Taksim Square, making it easy to explore many attractions, shops, and restaurants without hassle.

Dining

5.0

Breakfast was decent but rather basic, and having to pay extra for things like fried eggs felt a bit unfair. I expected more variety and better quality for a four-star hotel.

Facilities

5.0

They offered a range of facilities, but I expected a bit more refinement. Everyday needs like toiletries were lacking, and the whole experience felt more like a budget stay than a comfortable vacation.

I had a pretty mixed experience at Arts Hotel Taksim. The location is absolutely fantastic, being close to Taksim Square and plenty of restaurants, which made exploring the city a breeze. On the flip side, I encountered some significant issues with the staff's attitude and the cleanliness that really dampened my stay. The breakfast offered was disappointing and repetitive, leaving me to skip it after a couple of days.

Rooms

The room was spacious and well-designed, but the cleanliness left a lot to be desired, as it lacked proper upkeep. I also could hear my neighbors through the thin walls, which disrupted my peace quite a bit.

Service

The hotel's location could not be better-it's just a short walk to Taksim Square, making it super convenient for outings. Proximity to restaurants and supermarkets is also a big plus.

Dining

The breakfast options were poor; I found the selection boring and repetitive, which led me to skip it later in my stay. There wasn't much variety, making meals uninspiring.

Facilities

5.0

The hotel offered basic facilities like room service and laundry, but I felt that some services, like spa access, surprisingly required additional fees, which struck me as unreasonable.
