I absolutely loved the elegant and cozy ambiance of the hotel's common areas. The intricate traditional Turkish decorations in the lobby and the comfortable seating areas made me feel right at home. As a senior traveler, I appreciated the accessibility of the hotel, with easily reachable elevators and spacious corridors, which made it convenient for me to move around with ease.
I would only ask for better vacation for senior people that the staff be more attentive to the needs of elderly guests, maybe some more assistance or understanding from the younger staff.

I chose this hotel for a business meeting and it provided a comfortable and quiet environment for work. The staff was accommodating, and the spacious room with large windows was pleasant for relaxation after a long day of work.
I was disappointed by the unreliable and slow WiFi connection, which negatively impacted my ability to efficiently work and communicate during my stay.

The living room is spacious, with a cozy seating area, a modern TV, and a DVD player for family movie nights.
My wife says that the hotel could benefit from having a dedicated kids' play area.

I recently stayed at Elysium Taksim for a business trip and it was perfect. The two-floor room was beautifully spacious and the panoramic views of the city were stunning, especially from the mezzanine floor where the bed was placed. The hotel staff were helpful and the room service was excellent. Fonda from housekeeping was particularly friendly and did a great job cleaning. The hotel also had fantastic amenities like a hairdresser and laundry service. I loved the hotel's presentation and the availability of the front desk staff.
Recommend this hotel.

We had an amazing stay at this luxurious hotel! The exclusive amenities were beyond our expectations. The Spa & wellness centre was a perfect place to unwind and relax with the indoor swimming pool, sauna, and jacuzzi. We indulged ourselves with a heavenly full body massage, body wraps and beauty treatments. The outdoor swimming pool was surrounded by sun loungers and provided a beautiful view of the city. The restaurant served delicious halal food, and the lobby bar was a great place to enjoy a drink in a cozy atmosphere.
The only negative aspect was the location. While it was quiet and away from the bustle of the tourist spots, it was quite inconvenient to travel by foot, especially during rainy days.

The hotel staff were incredibly friendly and provided excellent service throughout our stay. The breakfast buffet had a wide variety of options to choose from, both Turkish and European. The hotel's location was great, just a short walk away from a major square.
The noise levels in the hotel were quite high, particularly from the hallway and the nearby lift. The lack of soundproofing in the room made it difficult to get a good night's sleep.

The suite was like a dream apartment, huge and stylish with modern and traditional touches. The bed was so comfy, and the sofa was perfect for lounging. The kitchen was a nice touch, and the Pure Herbs amenities in the bathroom were a lovely surprise. As someone who appreciates space and comfort when travelling, I felt right at home.
The air conditioning could have been a bit quieter. But that's just my personal preference - others might not even notice it.

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel! The spacious suite had a beautiful panoramic view of the city at night. The hotel facilities were modern and well-maintained. The staff, including front office staff Gokhan, Bahadir, Onur, and Kerem, and guest relation staff Cagla Dinc were incredibly friendly and helpful. The breakfast, prepared by Gozde, was delicious and the room service was excellent. The hotel's location in the Taxim area allowed for easy walking distance to restaurants and shops.
Can't think of anything.

As women traveling alone, we felt welcomed and safe throughout our stay. The staff, including Mr. Gokhan, Dunia, Rania, and Gansu, were all friendly and helpful. The rooms were luxurious, spacious, and well-decorated. The location was convenient, close to Taksim Square and bus stations. The breakfast was delicious, and the chef Gözde went above and beyond to ensure everyone's satisfaction. The hotel provided excellent service, upgrading our room and surprising my parents for their anniversary. We highly value our stay and will definitely choose this hotel again when we return to Istanbul.
Felt completely safe throughout our stay, with nothing to complain about.

The hotel is conveniently located in the Taksim area, close to all tourist places. It is just a short walk away from Taksim Square, with many shops and restaurants nearby. The reception staff is extremely helpful and friendly, providing excellent service throughout our stay. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with modern amenities. The breakfast is delicious, offering a wide variety of options. The hotel also boasts a beautiful view of the city from its restaurant.
There is a management issue regarding blocking deposits for the minibar, which could be a hassle for guests.

The pool was lit - we spent hours splashing and chilling by the poolside. The Fitness Centre was totally decked out with cool equipment, and we even had movie nights in the living room with the LCD TV and DVD player. The hotel's location was epic, making it super easy to hit up the city's hotspots.
If there were more party vibes in the evenings, like maybe a DJ by the pool or a fun game night, it would have been even more awesome for us young party-goers.

We had the best service at Elysium Taksim! The staff, especially Miss Cagla Dinc and Gokhan, Bahadir, Onur, Selim, and Kerem from the front office, were incredibly hospitable, polite, and professional. Even the trainee was nice. They went out of their way to ensure our comfort. The facilities were awesome, and our suite with a city view was brilliant. The hotel's location near Taksim Square kept us entertained, and the room service was excellent. We will definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!
All was perfect.

A paradise where luxury and comfort come together. The unique tastes of Anatolian and World Cuisine will add a different pleasure to your holiday experience. Professional therapies and a variety of massages offered.
Such a shame about the tiny pool and the swimming cap rule. My kids were devastated.

Unforgettable Experience. During my stay at the hotel, I was amazed by the variety of massages offered at the luxurious spa. The Balinese massage I received was so relaxing, it felt like I was being pampered by a team of angels. It truly was an unforgettable experience.

The hotel's location was ideal for shopping as it was near all the famous shopping areas and within walking distance to both Gezi park and Taksim square. The room and bathroom were very clean and spacious, with a well-trained and helpful staff. The breakfast provided by the hotel was delicious and the view from our room was breathtaking. The hotel facilities were top-notch, especially the indoor swimming pool and spa services.
We did experience some noise from outside during our stay.

During my business trip to Istanbul, I had the opportunity to stay at Elysium Taksim, chosen by my director for its convenient location and excellent amenities. The separate sauna and hammam for men and women provided a relaxing and culturally immersive experience. The fitness center, indoor pool, steam room, and hot tub were perfect for unwinding after a long day of meetings. The restaurant, bar, and spa added a touch of luxury to my stay, and the 24-hour reception ensured that all my needs were met throughout my visit. The elevator and wireless internet access made my stay even more comfortable, allowing me to stay connected and navigate the hotel easily.
The housekeeping staff was friendly but the timing of their cleaning could be improved.

I absolutely loved my recent stay at this hotel! From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and ensure my comfort. The check-in process was seamless, and I was pleasantly surprised when my room was upgraded to a Superior Suite. The room service dining options were delicious and exceeded my expectations. The check-out experience was also delightful, with a thoughtful gift presented to me. The hotel's views were breathtaking, and the little extra touches made it feel like a home away from home. The staff were incredibly friendly, accommodating, and attentive to my needs. Special mention goes to Ms. Aysha, Ms. Casun, Ms. Donya, Cansu, Kerem, and Cagla. The hotel's amenities, including the outdoor dining area and fitness studio, were top-notch. The indoor and outdoor swimming pools, as well as the jacuzzi, were fantastic to relax in. The spa services, such as massages and facials, were heavenly. The hotel also offered convenient services such as laundry and a business center. my experience at this hotel was simply OUTSTANDING, and I cannot wait to return.
