Guest Reviews
- Mohamed (7/5): -
- Yeter (10/5): -
- Veneta (2/5): Ужасен хотел! Не ходете там! - Близо да таксим Видях стаята след като я платих….Абсолютно потресаващ хотел-нищо общо със снимките. Ужасно мръсна и мизерна стая. Нямаше топла водя на душа и се къпах с ледена вода.Стари счупени мебели. Старо бельо.Бяхме настанени в стая без прозорец, която не беше чистена скоро. Едната калъфка беше използвана.
- Bonanno (8/5): - Lo staff
Grazie

- Ahmad (1/5): "Missing promised amenities at Taxim Hotel Marin caused inconvenience, with staff dismissing concern - I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding my stay at Taxim Hotel Marin from December 5th to December 12th, booked through your platform. The booking clearly mentioned that the suite would include kitchenware, a microwave, and a coffee maker. Upon checking in, I found that these amenities were missing.
I approached the reception to address this issue, only to be informed that these items were never available, and the staff dismissed my concerns by stating that this discrepancy was due to Booking.com's description, not their management.
This situation has caused significant inconvenience during my stay, as I specifically selected this accommodation based on the listed amenities. I request that you take the following actions:
1. Investigate this matter and ensure that the administration of Taxim Hotel Marin adheres to the descriptions provided on your platform.
2. Insist that the hotel provide the missing items for the remainder of my stay, as they were a decisive factor in my booking.
3. Consider reviewing their listings to prevent similar discrepancies in the future.
As a loyal customer of Booking.com, I expect transparency and accountability in ensuring that accommodations meet the standards promised on your platform. I trust that you will resolve this matter promptly and ensure that my stay is as comfortable as promised.
Thank you for your attention, and I look forward to your swift response.
- mohammad (4/5): - I don't suggest this hotel to families.
- Wilson Afonso (6/5): Econômico vale o que se paga - Barato, perto de tudo. Tem elevador mas um lance de escadas para chegar nele. Se tiver problemas de acessibilidade não é uma boa escolha. O melhor de tudo é o super atendimento da moça da recepção. Muito atenciosa e prestativa.
- Sam (5/5): Passable -
- 298ghazalr (2/5): terrible experience - My new clothes and my shop were stolen in this hotel and the staff just said: they were thrown away with the trash, you shouldn’t left them in the bag if you need it!

- Muhammad (10/5): Exceptional -
- José (2/5): Different to waht booked - Good location and comfortable place. Good quality price.
Beautiful room and kind people. Treatment and Service.
I booked 3 nights. The room was not the same as the advertised in the website. I booked a bigger one.
First night it was late so I did not say anything.
2nd day I told them and they said that it was not possible, there was a Covid patient. (June 2023).
I texted Booking and they contacted the Hotel. They accepted to give me the room I booked. I had to wait 2,5 hours and nothing. It was not possible to change the room that day.
So I finally changed the roon my last day + night.
As conclussion, they are not serious. Sorry guys for my negative review, but we both learn something for next time.
- Morteza (7/5): Good -
- Morteza (7/5): Good -
- Doris (8/5): Very good -
- Evgenii (9/5): Good value for money - The host was very helpful. I think his name was Rasin. Every time I needed something, he would go all the way up to the 6th floor and show me. The view from the terrace was great . A lot of people wrote about noise in reviews but I did not have any problems Nothing really. The spaciousness if the room and great view more than compensated for the simple design.
- Muhammad (10/5): Exceptional - Staff and managers are amazing person and very supportive all the time Nothing all is amazing
- Hadyatullo (7/5): Good -
- Yusuf (1/5): Bad -
- Zoir (8/5): Very good -
- R (2/5): Very poor - Location was good. We booked a king size bed, but we took anther room with 3 singel bed.
They changed our room. The toilet had a very very low water.we had to say everytime that this or that had problem.
I think very very bad services.
- Syed (1/5): Bad - They were pathetic! After our confirmed booking they just denied to grant us room. They over booked and clearly said they dont have any room for me. Even their representative were in contact with me on messages regarding any special request of i have. I had clueless and dont know what to do at that time. I suffered alot, went to each and every hotel in the surrounding for my next book. It was a complete disaster.
ITS A BIG NO FOR MY SIDE AND I WONT RECOMMEND TO ANYONE AT ALL!! THEY ARE USELESS AND UNPRROFESIONAL.
- Hany (7/5): Good -
- Ahmad (6/5): Pleasant -
- Nijat (6/5): Pleasant - Location is really great. I have booked a family suite as it was offered for a discount price. But when we got to the hotel they gave tiny room with a window to the ruins. I asked to change my room and the next day they gave me the same size room in a different hotel. I have chosen this hotel for the location and suite they offered but I did not get the latter. Otherwise, I could book the better one for the same price in the same location.
- Anonymous (5/5): good location , bad cleaning services , small elevator - location services
- Suhair (8/5): I like to go turkey to stay in taxime hotel maren - All the workers are so nice and helpful I like the stuff
I like how the hotel was very closed to eve things
- NINO (10/5): - Everything was good, staff was brilliant
- Zin (1/5): I did not find hotel - nothing. you can not say it is a hotel Bad hotel. Sperm level is not finished. The bathrooms smell very bad, and the noise inside the hotel and outside the hotel from the cafes outside. They charged more than the value because the custodians of the visa and the cleaning team enter the rooms an hour before the delivery time of the rooms and vacate the rooms. A hotel that does not deserve to be called a possible hotel Calling anything but a hotel for the name was only one night, but it was very annoying
- Hanan (8/5): Very good -
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Warm welcoming, great receptionist, very helpful, very good location, good services , highly recommended you will never regretted
Thanks umit the receptionist
- Mahmood (8/5): Great place to stay for so very little - The hotel reception staff were brilliant and the room was clean and new towels were provided upon request. Free wifi was great and had a really good stay.
- Monolady (10/5): I've enjoyed my stay. - The approach of the employees is very good, I felt at home. A historical building in Beyoğlu almost carries the spirit of Istanbul. There is a very comfortable waiting room inside and the comfort of the rooms is very good.

good spot for transportation buses metro
shops
- Verified traveler (6/5): - great location right on istiklal st.

- dohae638 (8/5): perfect location good service great price - the location is perfect 1 min walk from tarlabasi station and 3 min walk to istqlal Street
The price is perfect.
The service was not bad, staff was very friendly and room clean was acceptable.
The breakfast was acceptable not good not bad.
- feedb2018 (2/5): Terrible service - Terrible service. Pressure to pay 90 EUR for early check-in online, although there was no information about any extra charges in the ad. Dirty room. Very dirty and stinky bathroom. Stained, worn and torn bed sheets and towels. No reaction to our request to fix that. Rude staff.
- BesoBob (10/5): Excellent Hotel with friendly staff - A very good hotel in the middle of Taksim. A five minutes walk to metro. It’s located in the famous İstiklal street. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They can help you with cheap tours. The room is clean and well organized.
- hazm536 (8/5): Excellent Room - The walls in my classic suit, I was told, had been built over a hundred years ago. The room was beautiful, clean and spacious.
However you will want to buy earplugs before arrival as the streets under the hotel tend to stay alive all night on weekends.
- anastasiam743 (2/5): Personnel stole things - We came with a group of 5 people this December. We previously booked 5 separate rooms in the local tourism agency in our country. However workers at the reception refused to check us in into the rooms that we already booked and paid for. After arguing and calling to our local agency we got our rooms.
They were dirty, with the insects and dirt on the floor.
At the middle of the day when we were out in the city - hotel workers transferred all our things into the other rooms (they didn't ask permission). And they STOLE a bottle of wine that we bought earlier that day.
Personnel doesn't speak English at all.
Please NEVER stay at this hotel, you will be so stressed no matter the aim of your visit to Istanbul.

- Milene60 (6/5): Excellent location - Excellent location in the down town and Taxim square Where you can take the bus for city tour. Omar is excellent recepcionist and very kind . congratulatíons for Omar.
you can walk around by the boulevard and look traditional instruments and music.children playing instruments too.This city do not sleep,i think so
- Asma_Hosna (6/5): Taxim Marin review - This hotel is centrally located and also closer to the metro. If you are looking for something cheap this is the place. The hotel is not fancy and have limited facilities. They provide very average breakfast, you might prefer to eat out. They also provide transport from airport to the hotel but have charges on it. Overall its an average hotel good for quick stay.
- O3322NRlucat (10/5): Very nice! - Perfectly located, open to many touristic places on a foot distance. Nice staff responding immediately for requests. Variable and fresh breakfast, clean rooms and excellent value of money. We are having pleasant stay with our kids in here.
- louises778 (4/5): Good location, and "ok" hotel - This hotel is in a good location for accessing Istiklal avenue, but that's about it. We booked a triple room but it was clearly a twin with one more bed stuck in - fine in principal, but it was very, very cramped. It was also incredibly hot and stuffy, not air con and we found it hard to sleep because we kept waking up sweating.
The bathroom was tiny, cramped, and a bit dirty. Our shower leaked so we had to get lots of extra towels to put all over the floor.
We had pre-booked a transfer from the airport, to pay to the hotel on arrival (30 euros from ataturk). When we arrived, the receptionist tried to ask us for 35 euros - not a huge amount of difference, but just be aware of this. I had the emails on my phone so showed him that 30 euros had been previously agreed.
Breakfast is not great. Not a big selection. It's fine - very basic, but nothing to shout about.
I must say however, when we checked out we had a very early bus and was not sure where to get it from. The receptionist walked us to the bus stop (about a 10 minute walk) which was very kind of him and we really appreciated it. Another receptionist there had told us the bus went from a different location. So just do your own research!
