My Stay : Taxim Hill Istanbul

     

My last trip to Istanbul was somewhat unplanned, since a sudden death in the family changed a lot of plans but last minute we decided to amend our plans in order to make time for travelling.

Taxim Hill, wasn't our first choice but since we didn't have so much time my sister made it happen with whatever she could find..

The hotel is situated right next to Taksim Square, which makes it in the heart of the city of you fancy the buzz, once you enter you'd notice a very dark reception but the staff is quite helpful and accommodating.

It took us around 25 minutes before we managed to check in, the rooms are clean but not up to my standards if only they'd invest a bit more in that area..

    The rooms are spacious, I got the double room for myself.. Free Wi-Fi was included in the rate, strong and fast signal to connect my laptop. Haven't tried other facilities at the hotel since we usually took off by 10 am and we won't be back until it's well after midnight . The hotel is also situated right next to Starbucks & the infamous Hafiz Mustafa  to stock up on Turkish sweets   Off the record, I found it hilarious that the hotel receptionist does everything from carrying the luggage, he would ring right up if  anything gone wrong at the room and then you'd spot him serving sweets at the store next door !       Taxim Hill Link
