Lovely apartment on the edge of busy Taksim, close to many amenities and eateries. Bonus to be within a luxury hotel with all the benefits that comes with that eg room service, restaurant, spa etc and very friendly staff, as is expected in Turkey. Could not fault the apartment itself.. It was very spacious with huge windows and everything is lux and new.
Our stay was unfortunately tainted by the other guests. Because of the fact its in a hotel, you really feel the other guests around, at all times of the day and night. I was woken up many times every single night by other guests shouting, playing loud music at 2am, repeatedly smoking in the coridoor, banging (I can assume from people having sex).. And generally behaving without any regard for other people in the hotel, which made sleeping really difficult even with earplugs. After one week, I was looking forward to going home. This was a shame really, because I wanted to love it 100%. For the price, it was excellent value. I wish the neighbours had been more considerate from 2am onwards.. That said, Tahsim was a great host, very helpful in all aspects. In a city that never sleeps, it sure lived up to its name!
