The hotel is very close to Taksim square. It is very easy to get to Taxim square after a short walk (because of the works done at Taksim square public transport is now the best solution and from Nippon you can get very easy to the Metro M1 and to the Funicular from Taksim to Kabatas – at Kabatas you...

What a great place to stay when in Istanbul. The staff is friendly, the service is excellent, and they have a big variety at their breakfast buffet (a big motivation for me in comparing hotels). It is close (walking distance) from the popular Istiklal Avenue (just search and have a look) packed with people and shops till late. The area... More

All in all it was a good stay at the Nippon Hotel. A little bit expensive for being an off season (we ended up paying $190 per night, taxes included). The personnel was very friendly and helpful. They were more than ready to give tips and pointers. We reserved an excursion to visit the sites in Istanbul, and it was... More

Very well located near to Taxism (shops & restuarants & bus & Metro) and next to many other upscale hotels. Rooms are of a good size with free wifi & a mini bar. Staff very friendly and eager to help answer all our questions. We had a loud neighbour next to us, which the staff quickly attend to at 1... More

This was my second stay at this hotel. Istanbul hotels are overpriced and this offers a good option for the businsess traveller. It is located a stone throw from Taksim Square, has free Wifi, fairly spacious rooms and a fair selection of English TV Channels (BBC News, BBC World, SKY News, National Geographic, BBC Entertainment), However.... the rooms are hot...

Well situated near Taksim, in a street of rather swish hotels. This bills itself as a business hotel so you get all the little touches like free newspapers, choice of pillows etc. Reception staff very friendly and charming. BUT....and this is a big BUT! There is a nightclub close by that pours out heavy pounding music until at least 6a.m... More

The location is great. few steps from Taxim sq, and Istiklal street (the main shooping street in the new city). easy to get there from the airport and good base for tours in the city. the stuff very helpful and friendly. i got as a suprise a fruit plate on the first night. would stay there again next time.

Stayed in the hotel for 4 nights and changed 3 rooms on the 6th floor. In the first room I found out the untight window not only let cold air into the room, but also let pretty much noise from the streets. Another room had 2 windows which were apparently better, yet the climate control after 3 hours did not... More

Had been in the lamartine on my last visit but had to join a gym for a month as none in that hotel. Now doing 1 week/month so asked to be booked in here as there was a gym. But that is only art of it. Breakfast buffet fantastic if a bit busy after 8am - big slab of honeycomb... More
