Taksim Diamond Hotel

Güzel hotel. Nice hotel

The hotel is located in the center of Taxim. Very small room, no space to place personal belongings. There is no shower in the small bathroom. TV does not have the option of selecting international - foreign programs. When the window is opened, there are all the time the smells of the neighboring ventilations - the smell of the kitchen. The sound of the refrigerator is loud. There is no sound insulation from the next room. Breakfast, I have never experienced such a small and modest selection, but I have visited Istanbul at least 30 times... Disappointment! I had a booking elsewhere, but they transferred me...

Initially, the hotel said they didn't have my booking, and told me I was in a wrong hotel, sent me elsewhere. I came back with my booking details, and insisted them to check again, as the address was correct and all was paid for. They then realised that they stuffed up my booking, gave my room to someone else with a similar first name, and gave me another room eventually. Staff smoked in the lobby. Breakfast was adequate but same everyday.

the most Horrible hotel i have ever been, Rooms are very tiny & small like couple with their luggages will not be able to move freely. Showers are the worst ever. Sometime they do not clean your room. mosiquitos & insects everywhere. The staff is unhelpfull we requested a better room yet no response. it should get less then 1 star. Conclusion do not come to this hotel it is a scam to what you will see online.

I initially booked The Golden Pera Hotel on ***********, but they did not keep their commitment, and had no room for us at 11 PM in a foreign to us city of Istanbul. This is a separate story which I will write a review about as well. We would not have to deal with Taksim Diamond if our booking with The Golden Pera was honored. So The GP referred us to as they called it a "better" hotel which was Taksim Diamond Hotel. They charged us $78 without showing us the pigeon hole they were putting us -three people- in. We could not open the door to our room, because the room was literally 2 meters by 2 meters or close to that. Could not open the door into the microscopic bathroom because it interfered with the bed. Could not shower because the bathroom was microscopic and the toilet and the shower were in the same area. If you showered , your toilet paper and towels would be all soaking wet. Two people could not be in that bathroom at all. Microscopic sink also. I dont want to sound prejudice, but I felt like hotel people are so used to lying that they dont even feel any remorse. Cannot trust them! Also, on the internet all hotels look big and nice. In reality, unlike American hotels, they are mostly microscopic. If you want a nice hotel, it is not cheap in Turkiye! Anything below $100 is going to be a lemon. Go with the established brand names to be safe and happy, but be prepared to pay between $200-500 per day. Good luck to you travelers

The rooms are very small, and the shower. Is very uncomfortable very tight tiny rooms, not even space to put your stuff.

The hotel have such a small bathrooms which is not convenient at all and they have only one room with balcony in the whole hotel however it doesn't really shpws like that when checking for information about the hotel. The breakfast sometimes was nearly finished even though it was a buffet breakfast, the staff seemed not to bothered about that. There was same kind of breakfast every day during my stay. The rooms are so small, only 2 people can fit into a room which is shown as a 3 people room so there isn't a clear description of rhe rooms. Be mindful of that. In one of my room, i couldn't even open or close the door of the toilet because of the extra single bed in such a small room. On the night you cannot even sleep because of the noises from outside. It's non smoking arear where they usually put the breakfast and everyone is smoking so therefore no safety of the food and non pf the staff is stopping people to smoke where the food is. The staff is highly unprofessional and they don't even have the idea of how customers should be treated. The shuttle itself is overcharged when i booked a Mercedes with the facilities on it for airport but i got a dirty and normal van so be mindful booking shuttle.
