Istaklal Cd. around the corner - that's all you need to know about Taksim Palace Istanbul Hotel =) I will not say anything new about location, but hotel is very close to everything: Taksim, any transport (and airport bus Havas stop), shops, different restaurants/locanta/bar/cafe/club, banks&atm. Everything or every taste.
That's why it's always very noisy. Besides right infront of hotel there's a mosque Hüseyin Ağa Cami. So if you don't want to hear anything, choose another place or a hotel with good noise insulation.
Staff is very friendly, hospitable and helpful, they will not leave you without hot fresh cup of tea =)
Room 101. You can trust all photos, everything as it is. Small, be ready for this, one bed takes almost all roomspace. TV, small fridge, good wi-fi, space for working with laptop. Nice shower, strong enough, no need to dance with a tambourine when you need to have it cold/hot.
Very cosy place, but renovation required.
I wish you many grateful guests and further improvement. Thank you so much for making my stay in Istanbul so warm despite the rainy weather
