Reviews
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!
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.
-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!!!
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.
Didn't try their food though.
