Nice hotel. Clean and well presented staff. Close to taxim but away form the noise. Shops and restaurants close by. Will definitely check here for price when I stay in taxim going forward.

Card system can be a problem. (Hold the card slightly away from the reader ) Signs up saying no outside food.

The rooms were big and luxurious! Toiletries were well stocked. The hotel was kept immaculately clean and rooms cleaned on time every day. The staff was very pleasant and responsive to our requests. They showed they cared about guest experience. It is located very close to Taksim Square and Istiklal Street. It was good value for money. We had a very comfortable stay.

Breakfast was below par for a 5 star. The buffet was very limited, poorly stocked, and disorganized. There are food trays placed in front of the egg station causing people requesting eggs to block others from serving food. Options were very limited. And when things ran out like the tiny smoothie servings they were simply not restocked on the buffet. There was no proper coffee machine which we’ve come to expect. Bath robes, towels, and linens were worn out and need replacement.

The hotel is clearly a good hotel. And very luxurious I liked the complimentary fruit and every day bottled water was put by my bed Room service and cleaners excellent Staff always polite This could so easily be one of best hotels in Europe

The light switches are difficult to understand I thought drink prices at coffee shop and bar to be extremely excessive. 350tl for two 330 ml bottles of beer is far too much. 100 dollar cash deposit on arrival. What for I don't know. I had no dollars. Check out was a tiresome having to wait for staff to check room. I missed my bus to airport as a result. One doesn't expect this at a 5 star hotel particularly if one is a regular guest.

A Dream Stay at Hotel Elysium – Exceptional Service & Warm Hospitality Our stay at Hotel Elysium was nothing short of fantastic! Our Maisonette Junior Suites were absolutely wonderful—spacious, impeccably clean, and beautifully designed. To our delight, we even received an upgrade, which made our stay even more special. The restaurant was another highlight of our visit. The food was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared, but what truly set it apart was the outstanding service. Ali, our server, was incredibly attentive, friendly, and full of amazing local tips. His positive energy and genuine care made every meal an experience to remember. And then there was Chef Suzan, an absolute gem! Every morning, she surprised us with new, delicious desserts at breakfast, each one a delightful treat. Her kindness, passion, and radiant personality made us feel right at home. Both Ali and Suzan are the heart and soul of this hotel, and their warm, radiant energy truly elevated our stay. If you’re looking for a place that not only offers luxury and comfort but also unparalleled hospitality, Hotel Elysium is the perfect choice.

The staff were superb, particularly the breakfast team with Ali and Susan giving us a amazing service every morning and even making us bespoke extras. The room was very spacious. We also did a Turkish bath, hammam, which I would totally recommend.

Taksim square was locked down, with the political unrest in Türkiye at the moment, so even though a lot of people mention it is in a great location, it was not a good part of town to be in during our stay. Also, there were A LOT of people having hair transplants, which is not the best sight in the morning when you're trying to eat your breakfast... although I appreciate there is not a lot the hotel can do about that.

My stay at The Elysium Taksim was absolutely amazing! From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel so welcome. They were incredibly kind, attentive, and always ready to help with anything I needed. Their hospitality truly stood out and made my experience even more enjoyable. The rooms were just as beautiful as pictured—spacious, clean, and stylishly designed. Everything was well-maintained, and the comfort level was top-notch. Whether it was the cozy atmosphere or the excellent service, this hotel exceeded my expectations in every way. I highly recommend The Elysium Taksim to anyone looking for a wonderful stay in Istanbul. I will definitely be returning!

I genuinely enjoyed every aspect of my stay and had no complaints whatsoever.

The rooms at the Elysium Taksim are spectacular. I was amazed when I walked in and had a two-story, floor to ceiling view of Istanbul out the windows. The room was the size of a large one bedroom flat in many countries. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom, while it could use better lighting at the vanity, was fabulous. There was also a lovely welcome gift when I arrived the second day. The property is a short walk to Taksim square and it was easy to get around from there.

I had some small issues with a light that was blinking when it was turned off. I requested the staff to fix three times, it never was fixed. I called for more hangers and a new iron (the first one was leaking water everywhere) twice and ended up heading out and finding housekeeping on my floor to get what I needed after two hours of waiting. The breakfast was a disappointment. There were many waitstaff around but none seemed interested in helping anyone. It took me three days to learn I could get eggs. The buffet was basic and bland. While I was disappointed in most of the staff - the guy working the coffee counter in the lobby was excellent!

The place is nice and modern, offering great views that add to the experience. The staff were incredibly helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable. A wonderful choice for a comfortable and pleasant stay!

While the location is central, it can be a bit tricky for taxis to stop conveniently. The breakfast experience was chaotic, with too many guests rushing and not enough organization. The quality of the food, especially the coffee, was below average, and the hygiene could be improved as some guests were touching items with their hands. For the price, we expected a better breakfast and overall experience.

Facilities and staff amazing Batek at the front desk was so helpful and had a smile on his face every day

Being charged for ice bucket to our room Never been charged for that before

- Perfect location near Taksim Square, right beside the airport Havatas station. - Excellent breakfast, especially the omelets prepared by the lady with glasses and the other Persian lady, they were very welcoming. - Nice pool and spa. - Welcoming and helpful front desk staff—special thanks to Selma. - Complimentary upgrade to a superior suite. - Very spacious room with a great view; towels and bed were very clean.

Not very much really, but if I want to be very fussy - The furniture in the room was a bit old and showed some damage. - There is a steep step at the entrance, which can be difficult if you have large luggage. - They charged extra for a visiting friend who did not intend to stay overnight.
