Riva Hotel Taksim

This is THE property at Lake Constance. It is the most luxurious and authentic property you will find in this area. This is a perfect place to unwind and relax. The location is just perfect. Just a few minutes of a walk away from the old downtown but also located directly on the lake. If you’re looking for a place to unwind and to relax and enjoy true leisure time this is a must go to.

First of all about their restaurants they are absolutely exquisite. Truly inspiring dishes, such as fried rice, sushi with lychee and mango salsa toppings or mini burgers that Korean style. This restaurant also has a beautiful terrace for you to enjoy the view of the lake and do what is most common in this area: sit and relax by the lake. breakfast was fabulous with things such as Bavarian style sausages, or pancakes, made ready to order or couscous or seasonal fresh fruit. A wide variety of breads and various spreads there would literally be something for everybody.

In case you are worried that it’s going to rain no worries. This property has a beautiful spa sauna and steam bath as well as various treatments that they offer. I personally really like Ayurveda treatments they had but they also do a Lomi lomi massage. I really enjoyed that there were a variety of massages and not just your standard cookie cutter classic massage.

Staff is very well trained and we’re very attentive. I had my birthday that I celebrated there and they truly went out of their way to make me feel extra special. So thank you again to the entire ribs team for this beautiful stay.

Had a great overnight stop here. Friendly staff, very comfortable room and a wonderful buffet breakfast included. The location is only a five minute walk to the Airport bus stop and right by the capital’s main square

Location is great! The hotel is exactly in the city center. You are just next to the old town area, tourist points, cultural centers and subway. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Especially the staff at the reception is so helpful. They have clean rooms and good service. I highly recommend everyone who wants to have a comfortable stay in Istanbul.

superb service and very nice room and breakfast. Very well placed also, don't hesitate, I will come back.

We had a small problem and they fixed it immediately! Polite and clean, the breakfast was huge with different variety every day! Thank you for the accommodation!

An amazing hotel in the Center of Istanbul at Taksim. I had a beautiful room on the top floor and the view was stunning. The Bosphorus Bridge on one side and the Taksim Square on the other side.
And the staff is friendly and attentive.
If you visit Istanbul this is the perfect place to stay.

Nice and central location, you have access to buses and subway within walking distance. The staff were nice and helpful but not knowledgeable, so don't take their advice on where or how to go. Nice breakfast with good quality. The rooms were nice and clean but I could smell the cigarettes from our next door room. There are a lot of hotels in this area but this one offers the value for the money you pay. Meanwhile, the staff could improve their English!

The location is grate even you need to be near to taksim square and İstiklal street. You can find metro and bus station near the hotel easily and go to the charshi bazar by metro for example.
Room is a little small but it's clean. In the other hand, it hasn't some futures for example it's wired that a 4 star hotel hadn't toothbrush or toothpaste 😐
They don't have any glass or plate or cup in rooms, too. That I think it's bad point for this hotel with this good situation. By the way I liked the place and the staff behaviors even though they don't know English. I mean they are professional and if they know english to conect more easily with gusts, it would be great.
A bout the breakfast, it's fine, delicious and high quality. You have a nice palce for Smoking oute side the hotel lobby but you can smoke in your our room,too. Rooms doesn't have miny bar.😐
All these things was my experience in riva hotel befor the check out. I will add my opinion about the end of my trip.
Ok, finally after 3 days every thing was the same and fine.

An exceptional customer service, flexibility, respect, care, follow-up, focus, quality of food, friendly, humbleness, meet whole standards and criteria.
I'm US citizen I strongly recommend this hotel sincerely.
