Vardar Palace Hotel  

+ very helpful and friendly English speaking staff +spotlesly clean room + perfect location of the hotel

- the breakfast was a little bit poor for 4-stars hotel - it was noisy at night, since the hotel is on a big street with many bars around

The location is very good and the rooms are large

The hotel is very noisy, the rooms are not well isolated, little exposure to day light.

It is very secure and the staff are very friendly also the location is perfect

I think it is little bit expensive for the services

The front desk staff did an excellent job providing for our needs without being pushy, and was very helpful. After we switched rooms to the top floor, the nights were quieter, the room was sunny, bright and clean.

The continental breakfast was great. A nice variety of traditional turkish breakfast items as well as some North American breakfast foods to accomodate everyone's taste. The terrace had a really nice view of the Bosphorus as well as the city. I loved the Hydrangeas and various shrubs that were placed around the terrace as well. We would bring our own drinks to the terrace and relax before we went our for dinner. It's not the four seasons (one friend's hotel room view was a brick wall and another friend had a good street view) but if you are not planning on hanging around the hotel all day, this place is convienient, affordable and ideal for visiting Istiklal street, and some cool local cafes and restaurants. It has an 'apartment' like feel to the place and the staff were friendly and helpful. Great water pressure for showering too!

Very friendly and helpful staff. Good location close to Taksim Square.

A bit noisy, but from the surrounding buildings, not the hotel itself.

the staff were so friendly and helpful and the breakfast was good

the room was overlooking the main street which was a bit noisy

Nothing but location.

Room & toilet are small and smelly, i was told by the hotel staff 'this is a standard room" i should not expect better.

Very close to Taksim square. Nice roof view.

Very poor staff. Very weak breakfast. Some noise when sleep.

I found the hotel easy to find and it was well located fpr easy access for shops resterants. Sight seeing. And trips down the river. And was close to coach terminal for both of istanbull airports. Very convient and cost effective.

Convenient location; helpful and friendly front desk staff

There was redecoration going on at the time of my visit

A good small hotel. Nice historical building. Varied breakfast with friendly,attentive staff.The location is also excellent - close to Taksim square.
