Best hotel in Taksim
Good hotel with great receptionists, especially Eyyup who always willingly offered help everytime I wanted to explore the city or when i wanted to order food.
My room had a terasse with a nice view of the neighbourhood.

This was not an expensive hotel so not luxurious. However my en suite room was clean, the white sheets and towels were freshly laundered . The air conditioning worked fine, there was a safe, a fridge and a hairdryer. Had to run the hot water for a while but when it came through it was hot. The lift worked.
Taxim Square was a short walk.
A bit rough round the edges but good value for money. If I was in Istanbul again I would be happy to return.

The bed was uncomfortable, the cleanliness wasn’t the best, the elevator was vibrating like a plane with turbulence so it did feel a little unsafe. Staff service was average - limited interaction though.
Check in was super quick and easy.
Overall I was expecting a bit more compared to other hotels in Instabul and in this area.

It’s a moderate place to stay especially for the price and this time of the year, fairly good and comfortable but don’t expect a more than average accommodation. In general it’s clean for its price as well. It was a pleasant stay.

Excellent Stay
I'd definitely recommend Retropera Hotel. I really enjoyed my stay there. My room had everything one would need - kettle, hair dryer, tea/coffee, etc. The bathroom had complimentary shampoo and soap, which was also a very nice touch. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The hotel itself is less than a 5 minute walk to Taksim Square. I will stay here again when I visit İstanbul in the future.
