Guest Reviews
- Simon (8/5): Great Location, comfortable Hotel. - Friendly staff throughout, even opening up bar late on for us to celebrate our team's win in the Europa League final! Breakfast was decent, enjoyed the omelettes. Good view from the room, room was clean and facilities were adequate. Didn't use pool or spa during stay. Location is excellent for Taksim Square and Besiktas football ground is walkable. Beds were a little uncomfortable, and the room was warm even with air con on. Also, can't say I have ever seen brown toilet paper!!!
- Pia (6/5): Für einen Kurztrip in Istanbul gut - Top Lage, vieles fußläufig zu erreichen. Das Frühstück war nicht besonders. Die warmen speisen alle kalt, kein frisches Obst oder Joghurt.
- Andrea (10/5): -
- Viktoriia (8/5): - Staff was really plesant and helpfull, they did their best for our staing, thanks for hospitality
- BOUAYAD (9/5): Agréable - L’emplacement et le confort. Le personnel qui ne parle pas anglais,
- Krystle (6/5): - Location - close to Taksim Square They use a central AC and it was blowing heat when turned on in April. So no AC, room was extremely stuffy with no ventilation. Only has 1 window which can’t be fully opened, required staff to unlock fully with the key. Furniture seems run down.
- Yusuf (2/5): Will never stay there again. - The location was decent and Mr Duray was an excellent manager. Breakfast staff were extremely unfriendly. Like they are doing us a favor by serving us. Also breakfast selection was highly limited.
Room was extremely dated with a dirty carpet. The worst thing was that the central heating stayed on the entire night and was extremely hot and stuffy.
- Omar (9/5): - Great location very close to Taksim Square. Lovely reception staff and welcome. They upgraded my room and also granted me free breakfast.
They even surprised me with a lovely plate of nuts and dry fruit. Very thoughtful and welcoming team. Lighting in the room could have been better.
- Fadime (9/5): Das Hotel war insgesamt sehr gut. Ein kleiner Minuspunkt ist, dass draußen in der Nähe Musik gespielt wurde, was etwas l - Die Lage Laut

- Roberto (10/5): Beautiful Hotel, spacious room. excellent breakfast. Good position to visit the City - Beautiful Hotel, spacious room. Excellent breakfast. Good position to visit the city. Nothing
- Anouk (6/5): - De kamers waren erg schoon Er was geen werkende airco. Doordat de ramen ivm geluid dicht moesten was het erg warm op de kamers. Het ontbijt was niet altijd even vers.
- Michela (10/5): Lo consiglio assolutamente. - Esperienza super positiva, l'albergo davvero molto bello! Curato, e pulitissimo.
Camere spaziose, con letto super comodo, tutti i comfort, set per gli ospiti nuovinogni giorno, e un piatto di frutta secca al nostro arrivo.
Bagno bello e curato.
Lo consiglio assolutamente senza ombra di dubbio. La colazione, scarsa e senza dolci e fette biscottate.

- leyens (1/5): Worst Stay Ever – No AC, No Water, No Support - Nothing Extremely disappointing experience. I reported issues on the second day but received no response until after I checked out. No proper air conditioning for 4 days—my kids couldn’t sleep and were constantly distressed. The property was poorly cleaned, especially the toilets, and there was even no water available one night at midnight.

- Noëlle (10/5): très bon séjour !! Et super personnel !! - 20/20 pour le personnel qui était super !! Nous avons eu un super accueil !! L’hôtel était propre et le petit déjeuner très sympathique. L’emplacement était parfait . C’est juste dommage qu’il n’y est pas une lumière plus puissante dans la chambre , le soir on ne voit pas grand chose. Et dommage que la piscine soit trop froide pour pouvoir se baigner!!
- İnanç Çağrı (9/5): - Konaklamamızdan oldukça memnun kaldık. Otel genel olarak temiz ve düzenliydi. Konumu çok avantajlı; hem Taksim’e hem de havalimanı ulaşım araçlarına oldukça yakın. Personel son derece ilgili ve yardımcıydı. Özellikle kahvaltı saatini kaçırmamıza rağmen bize kahvaltı yapma imkânı sunmaları büyük bir incelikti. Misafir memnuniyetine gerçekten önem veriyorlar. Tekrar tercih edebileceğimiz bir otel.

Le massage au spa était parfait. Les douches du spa sont dans un mauvais état et le sauna était à peine tiède. Dans la salle du petit-déjeuner, une grande flaque de thé est restée par terre sans que personne ne s’en occupe malgré avertissement du danger de glissade.
- Jennifer (8/5): Très bon séjour - Les chambres sont spacieuses. Emplacement proche des commerces et de la ligne de métro taksim. Pas assez de choix dans le petit déjeuner
Chambre mal insonorisé

- febri Dwi (10/5): Great stay while in Istanbul - Its very close to the centre and the receptionist is very kind and welcoming they also give use free upgrade for the room. The breakfast is quite not acceptable for 4 star hotel.

- Shadi (10/5): Olağanüstü konaklama - Otel konaklamam oldukça sakin ve rahattı. Oda temizdi ve tüm temel ihtiyaçlarla donatılmıştı. Personel yardımsever ve güler yüzlüydü. Düzen ve detaylara gösterilen özen beni etkiledi, bu da konaklamamı keyifli hale getirdi. Otelin konumu da oldukça uygundu ve şehir içinde ulaşımı kolaylaştırdı. Hiçbir şey
- hajar (6/5): - l'emplacement de lhotel les toilette était cassés ansi que la piece pour faire marchée l'arroseur , des fois les femme de menage ne mets pas du papier toilette meme si il est fini , elle enleve les serviette sal et elle ne l'est remplace pas genre elle te laisse juste la seule qui à rester propre ... bref quelques details comme ca

- Ivana-Yasmina (10/5): - The hotel was really close to the city centre. There is a public parking right in front of the hotel which is very convenient. The staff were really kind and everything was clean. The breakfast was also very good.

- Danut (9/5): Recomand! - Este a doua oara când ne cazam la acest hotel.
Este aproape de stația de metrou si Piata Taksim. Nu-mi place conceptul dușului.Cred ca ar fi util ,o pară de duș mobilă, cu furtun.
- Charbel (8/5): -

- Matt (10/5): - We had a wonderful and memorable stay at AVANTGARDE Hotel. Everything was perfect from check-in to check-out. The hotel is very clean, stylish, and relaxing, and its location in Istanbul is excellent.
Special thanks to Mr. Selçuk, Mr. Nur, Mr. Oğuzhan, Mr. Bilen, Mr. Mert, and Mr. Ali for their outstanding service, kindness, and professionalism. Their friendly attitude and attention to detail truly made our stay more enjoyable.
I highly recommend this hotel and would definitely choose it again on my next trip to Istanbul.

- ABDERRAHIM (6/5): Vous pouvez apprécier ou pas selon l’âge et les habitudes de chacun - Hotel tres bien situé mais malheureusement ont a eu 2 nuit mouvementé avec jeunes qui ramène des prostitués et passes la nuit à faire la fête ou à s’embrouiller avec les filles sans qu’il y est une seule intervention de l’hôtel et quand ont réclame la seule solution c’est de nous changer de chambre. Le top c’est la situation géographique
- Mehmet Erdem (9/5): - Very good breakfast good location. Thanks to Mr. İlhan from recepten. He assisted us in a good manner.
- Özgür (7/5): - Das Personal war sehr freundlich, vor allem Ilhan und Oguzhan. Zimmer waren zu warm, die Lautstärke der Disko draussen hört man sogar im 10. Stock.
- Ganisher (10/5): A perfect and comfortable stay in the heart of Istanbul - I stayed at Avantgarde Urban Taksim and had an excellent experience. The hotel is very well-located, just a few minutes’ walk from Taksim Square and the pedestrian street İstiklal Caddesi — which made exploring the city very convenient. The staff were very polite and professional, and they even upgraded my room at no extra cost. My room was on the 8th floor — spacious, clean, and very quiet with no noise from outside or the corridor. They also served a lovely plate of dried fruits and nuts as a welcome gesture, which I really appreciated. The breakfast buffet offered a good selection and was very convenient. Everything was smooth and comfortable from check-in to check-out. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Istanbul. Didn’t like that I had to check out — I could’ve stayed much longer!
- ABDELLALI (9/5): - Un Grand merci pour Mr Ilhan.. Très tres sympa
- ekaterine (8/5): To sum up, I recomend this hotel, for its ideal location and very good staff, who helped us lot duri - Breackfast could have been more variable, location was perfect. Cleanliness in the rooms needs to be improved, i noticed a bit of dust in the room.
- Nabil (10/5): Agréable - L’hôtel est très confortable chaleureux et très agréable, sa situation géographique et surtout le calme une fois que nous sommes dans la chambre. En plus le Personnels est très professionnel et sont à l’écoute et l aide de clients. Un grand Merci à MR MERT Le Réceptionniste qui est très professionnel , il ma donner la chambre même avant l heure . J apprécie beaucoup son geste. Et un grand Merci à MR ILHAN pour avoir m’aider pour tout mes bagages. Franchement je garde un très bon souvenir. J’ai tout apprécié.

- 2renaudg (2/5): avoid at all cost !!!!! - Review of Taksim Avantgarde Hotel
This is by far the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. The breakfast was the worst of my life — tasteless, poorly presented, and with almost no options. The staff were unprofessional and even argued with each other in front of guests. Shockingly, there was no proper coffee available.
The reception area constantly smelled of smoke, which made arriving and leaving deeply unpleasant. The staff showed no interest in helping or making guests feel welcome. Even the toilet paper felt like sandpaper — a small detail, but one that shows how little care this hotel puts into its guests’ comfort.
Overall, this hotel was a complete disappointment. Avoid at all costs.
- khaled (10/5): - Perfect
- khaled (10/5): - Good!
- Eng.youssef aziz (10/5): شكرا مع بعض الملاحظات - الفندق ممتاز جدا لازم نطلب المياة والمشربات في الغرفة رغم أن المفروض يكون طاقم العمل بيوفرها بصفة مستديمة دون الطلب مع تنظيف الغرفة لكن كنت كل يوم لازم انزل الريسبشن اطلب غير كدة محدش بيوفرها
- Alexander (8/5): -
- Mustafa (6/5): - Good proximity to Taksim square. Air condition was poor in one of our rooms and staff were unwilling to acknowledge poor A/C.
- Masar (7/5): - Every thing apart from pool in which had a dirty and neglected Pool
- Lamrini (10/5): -
- Manohar (6/5): Good location but would not stay here again. - The location was great and the beds were really comfortable. The staff were helpful too. The pictures are very deceiving and the hotel was not as nice as depicted. Upon check in, I was told that there was no booking in my name, not sure who to blame here, perhaps booking.com. The bathrooms were old and tired, toilet roll was not replaced upon cleaning and when we got back to the hotel and requested for some, we were told that it was too late and everything was closed.How pathetic.
- solmaz (1/5): - very bad and small family room
- John (8/5): - Good location for easily walkable distance to good restaurants
- S M Shohel (8/5): -
- Howard (6/5): Pleasant - Location not bad Area is a bt strange
