We had a wonderful nine-night stay at Germir Palas Hotel Istanbul, a charming hotel in Taksim Square, right in the heart of the Istanbul city center. The location was ideal ..just a short walk to Istiklal Street, with easy access to public transportation, shops, and restaurants.

We arrived early in the morning (around 7 AM), and the staff kindly let us check in immediately — such a warm welcome after a long trip!

Our Bosphorus view room was absolutely beautiful, with a clear view of the Bosphorus Bridge (Boğaz Köprüsü) that looked especially magical at night.

The hotel had a cozy atmosphere and truly felt like a home away from home. Housekeeping was excellent — the room was always clean and tidy.

The staff's warm hospitality really made our stay even more pleasant, and we genuinely appreciated their kindness.

Breakfast was good, though having a bit more variety would make it even better.

The Wi-Fi connection was strong and reliable throughout our stay, which made it easy to stay connected.

If you're looking for a comfortable and well-located hotel in Taksim, we recommend Germir Palas — especially for couples or families who want to explore Istanbul easily while enjoying a peaceful stay.

I already miss it and hope to come back again soon!

Great location near Taksim Square.
The front door is for walking in only, while the back door is used for car drop-off or pickup.
The back door isn’t well marked, so it might feel like you’re walking into a bar—but it’s actually the correct entrance.
The room itself was okay…
Not very soundproof from the street noise.

Unfortunately, the hotel is extremely old and everything needs to be renovation!
-Housekeeping not cleaning well and they never checked towels etc well found dirty towels…
-The wifi not good at all why are most customers using their own data roaming this means more money is wasted! But if you happy to use it in the general area it's okay.
-check-in and out terrible very rude lady she's toxic just sharing a moody and negative energy!
-also safety issues electric light switch just inside your bed! Not joking just behind your pillows its super unsafe if any electricity issue directly creates fire!
-only good part location and Night shift receptionist Mr Yavuz

So must check alternative hotels before book this hotel!!!

I liked the hotel very much. I read somewhere that Agatha Christie could have lived here. I think the characters in her works could have, too. The hotel is a three-minute leisurely walk from the Taksim metro station and the beginning of Istiklal Street. It's easy to find. Check-in was quick, the receptionist was friendly. The room was quite large and cozy. The furniture was in excellent condition; there was a kettle with tea and coffee supplies, a refrigerator with free water, which was replenished on the second day. The room was clean. It had various nice little things, in particular, slippers, a shoehorn, a sewing kit, etc. The shower had a strong water pressure, hot water was coming straight away. The breakfast was quite decent, there was a choice, everything was of a good quality. Wi-Fi was stable and fast. The only downside for me personally was the thick pillows. Overall, the hotel made an extremely positive impression.

What I Liked

Our stay at Germir Palas Hotel had several positive aspects. The location is unbeatable, right in front of the famous park in Taksim Square, making it perfect for walking and exploring the area. Transportation options are plentiful and easily accessible, adding to the convenience. The check-in and checkout processes were both smooth and efficient, and the hotel staff were quick to assist with our luggage, which was especially helpful given the pedestrian-only access to the hotel. The breakfast offered a wide variety of delicious, well-cooked options, making for a pleasant start to each day. Additionally, the staff were exceptionally friendly, always smiling and eager to help. Although communication in English was sometimes challenging, tools like Google Translate made it manageable. Once they understood what you needed, the staff—whether it was the room service lady, reception, or breakfast staff—were incredibly helpful and accommodating, going out of their way to assist.

What I Didn’t Like

There were a few downsides to our stay, though. Like many hotels in Istanbul, the soundproofing was not great, and we could hear noise from the surrounding rooms, which was a bit disruptive. Additionally, while the hotel offers the option to book tours and attractions, we found that the prices were quite high. It’s much better to explore the many tourist offices around Taksim Square, where you can find more competitive rates. Don’t expect anything luxurious, as it’s a 4-star hotel; however, it offers good value for money and is a solid overall choice with some room for improvement.

The location was unbeatable. You get to stay in the heart of Taksim and have easy access to exploring Istanbul from a clean and beautiful hotel. Would stay here again when I am back in Istanbul.

Stayed for only two days but everything was so good. Location is exceptional. Hotel is very clean with an English club like style with authentic brass , engraved glass and leather sofas in the Lobby. Some very interesting original paintings too.
Didn't try their food though.

The only good thing about this hotel is the location, just next to Taksim metro station and within walking distance from the bus stop to the airport. The worst thing was that one evening when I came back to my room, the door was opened. I complained at reception and apologised, as it was probably the housekeeper who hadn't made sure the door was locked. There was nothing missing in my room, but I felt unsafe. Apart from that, on my first night at the hotel, the receptionist called me past 10pm to ask if I was smoking in my room, which obviously I didn't. Next morning a call at 6.30am woke me up featuring an automatic recording in Turkish (needless to say I unplug the phone after this). There were mosquitoes in the room, which was old and not very clean. To sum up, I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone.

I recently stayed at the Germir Palas Hotel and was thoroughly impressed by its prime location, impeccable cleanliness, and the genuinely friendly staff. Nestled in a convenient spot, it’s perfect for exploring the surrounding area without any hassle. The rooms, though compact, are exquisitely maintained, sparkling clean, and provide a cozy refuge after a day of sightseeing or business meetings. They are ideally suited for solo travelers or couples, as the space might be restrictive for larger groups. Overall, this hotel offers a great value for its comfort and superb service. Highly recommended for those who prioritize a clean, friendly, and strategically located base in the city!

My brother and I toured Istanbul for 8 nights and stayed in four different hotels around Taksim square in August 2022. Germir Palas Hotel was by far the best of the four and yet with lowest price! Unlike the other three, this hotel is run professionally and the staff take care of the guests. The attitude and treatment of the guests at this hotel shows that they have been in this business for long and care about guests impression. Our room was rather small but clean and well equipped. It is located right at the Taksim square with easy walk to many shops and restaurants.
