The standout feature of this hotel is undoubtedly its location. Situated right on Taksim Square, it offers unparalleled convenience for exploring Istanbul. The area is truly vibrant, with a lively atmosphere that continues late into the night. I also appreciated the generous size of the room. Having a comfortable and spacious environment made my stay much more enjoyable. The view of Istiklal Street from the room was also a nice touch, offering a constant glimpse of the city's energy. Furthermore, the hotel provides convenient parking, which is a significant advantage in such a central location.

While the breakfast was acceptable for a five-star hotel, it didn't quite reach the level of luxury I might have expected. My main drawback, however, was the price, which I felt was a little on the higher side.

It was a six days trip with my family from busy life to istanbul to smell a lovely air, see a beautiful places and to shop for a year . It was the first time being in marmara Taksim with me but was not with my sister as she was in this hotel more than 10 years ago and it is the same according to her. Well coming staff especially on reception mr. Seraj was kind and helpful. Clean hotel and nice food. Quite corridors. Near to metro station as a suitable transport just cross a small road and you will be there, taking you to wide istanbul. Room service was available and helpful cleaning room on time and refilling every thing for your comfort. You will find a beautiful Istiklal road beside you full of shops just have a nice walk through and you will reach Galata tower a piece of history with a delicious Turkish coffee and delights there. For dinner, i have every night dinner in khalil Usta small beautiful restaurant after around 300 m from hotel to eat Lahmajoon. If i will return to istanbul again i will be in Marmara taksim too

Location of the hotel was super excellent

Breakfast was not up to expectations and some of the staff working at restaurant and room service were juniors and not paying enough attention to customers

The facilities are excellent- a great pool area, gym and Restaurant. The staff were always helpful with a particular thanks to the concierge team. The Okra restaurant was excellent and probably the best one we went to in Istanbul. Breakfasts were great and is served until 11 am. The Club Lounge is worth upgrading to as the cost of alcohol is very high. Overall, we had a great stay.

The air conditioning was inefficient and we had to ask 3 times for it to be fixed. Eventually it sort of worked! Be aware the rooftop bar is not owned by the hotel and the drinks are extremely expensive!

Pretty good hotel in a strategic location. The room had a nice view and good value for money. Pretty good experience overall.

Not many amenities were provided in the room and very little number of complimentary coffee and water came with the room

The hotel has a great location to istiklal street, Taksim square, Taksim mosque and the T1 tram lines for kabatas or Bagcilar through the funicular. Good access to all major stops with the metro. We had an early morning flight arrival and the hotel let us check in early to rest. This was a big win for us and hugely appreciated! Beds and pillows comfy. Took a bosphorus view room and we had an amazing view of all historic sites from our room.

Not enough water provided in rooms. Guests need at least 2 bottles of complimentary water each day. Our coffee cups and coffee pods would not be replaced with new ones after cleaning and we had to phone housekeeping to request but this would be attended to immediately. Prices at the Upperrist were a bit excessive but the view is wonderful.

Location if fantastic , The hotel is beautiful, it has a nice view of Taksim square and it is near the metro

Relatively small rooms, of course, related to the price you pay, and it is definitely more expensive than neighboring hotels, the ventilation in the bathroom is bad, the room lighting is weak, the bed for two people is not comfortable, and of course the hotel’s answer will be that we are pleased that you stayed in our hotel and we always take customers’ comments seriously and we will do our best

Location was perfect, right in the centre of Taksim square which means there's lots of restaurants serving alcohol around. Some areas of Istanbul are 'dryer' than others. We had a club corner room, meaning we had access to the club lounge for breakfast and happy hour, which we definitely made use of (complimentary local wine, named spirits and hors d'oeuvres which were lovely). We also had a nice breakfast in the lobby restaurant where they have more choice and an omelette station. The pool area was great with a fantastic view over the Bosphorus river and Marmara sea. No onsite pool restaurant but the staff in the pool/spa reception are happy to order you drinks and food from the lobby restaurant which is then brought to you. The Okra restaurant on the top floor was fabulous, they had some very good wines (couldn't see champagne on the menu but when we asked they had a choice), which was lovely. Just be warned that imported wine (for example French, Italian) is extremely expensive. Bottle of Mumm was £130 anywhere in the city and that's just the standard stuff! Local wines are much cheaper though. The Upperist rooftop bar was a lovely touch with a great view but beware it gets very busy on Friday and Saturday nights, mostly young people having a fab time to ambient music. Used the spa, had a couples massage, which was a first for us and enjoyed it immensely. The ladies doing the massage are strong, its not a relaxing thing, but they seem to know what they are doing.

We paid extra for a club corner room so we could use the club lounge, which we have no complaints about at all. But like many hotels, the room wasn't really big enough or didn't really have much useable storage space. The bathroom had no shelves for toiletries or pegs for hanging towels, dressing gowns, etc. The hotel is very nice, the lobby is great and but for the small room and lack of storage, it would have had a higher score. Having said that, I would probably go back.

Absolutely beautiful property, well positioned centrally for transportation, shopping, sightseeing and restaurants. Great views from the rooms, especially corner rooms, which we had. The property has a Turkish bath, well equipped gym with a panoramic view, excellent restaurants and spacious areas for waiting and private conversations within the lounge area. This hotel proved excellence with their concierge, front desk staff, bellmen, welcome and checkout. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone.

I found nothing to dislike.

Incredible hotel with high standards and consistency. Its nice to see institutions that still cares about their reputation and providing a quality service consistently. Hotel was great in every aspect, 5 star hotel. Very comfy bed, pillows and high quality bed sheets. Very clean rooms. Shower was amazing, also high quality shower products provided and topped up daily. Daily top up of free nespresso coffee pods, tea and water. More than enough hangers and a good size wardrobe. Bathrobes provided in the room and we used their spa (free of charge) every day. Their massage packages are also well priced. Their spa was one of the best and tutkish bath (hamam) soo good! We were on our honeymoon and guest relations manager Fatma hanim gave us a room on 17th floor. Rooms have great Istanbul views. They also send us a fruit plate, a red wine and a chocolate which was so thoughtful. Hotel has excellent location and parking + valet service is free of charge for guests. I highly recommend this hotel to any traveler in Istanbul. We will be regulars for sure whenever we are in Istanbul.

Nothing, exceptional hotel with exceptional staff and service.
