Reviews
The location is also very convenient—close to Taksim Square and within walking distance of the Atatürk Cultural Center. It was a comfortable and enjoyable stay for me and my husband, and we would happily choose this hotel again on our next visit.
The hotel is cozy and quiet despite being located in the city center. The breakfast was excellent, and our corner room with a Bosphorus view was absolutely spectacular. We were even able to watch the New Year’s fireworks on the bridge, which made the experience unforgettable.
For my next trip, I will definitely book the same hotel again.
A special thank you to Fadi, who quickly picked up on my love of a good wine moment and made thoughtful recommendations, and to Ohan, who was incredibly helpful throughout my stay. I also really appreciated the upgrade to the 11th floor, the views over Taksim Square were incredible and made the experience even more memorable.
Beautifully designed, well located, and elevated by truly outstanding service. I would absolutely stay here again.
The panoramic view of the Bosphorus is one of the best in all of Istanbul. The suite itself was spacious, impeccably clean, and very well-maintained. While the hotel itself is not large, it feels cozy and comfortable.location is perfect , near Taksim square, all kind of transportation.
The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. My late-night check-in was smooth and easy. If I return to Istanbul, I will definitely choose this hotel again.

I stayed at Nippon Hotel during the end of the year and New Year period. The hotel was fully booked, including many families, yet the overall experience was very good.
The service was excellent, the room was clean, spacious, and comfortable, and it fully matched my expectations. Housekeeping and staff support were professional and responsive.
Breakfast offered a good variety of options, and if something was not available, the staff were willing to accommodate special requests, which was appreciated.
The location of the hotel is also very convenient, with easy access to exchange offices, supermarkets, restaurants, and shisha cafés. Overall, it was a pleasant and comfortable stay.
I wish the hotel continued success.
I have stayed at three other hotels in Turkey during this trip, and all of them were good. Only Nippon Hotel made my holiday incomplete. I really regret choosing Nippon Hotel; if I had read other guests’ reviews on Google more carefully, I would not have made this booking.
The breakfast was fair, with a reasonable selection. One of the strongest aspects of the stay was the team at the reception; they were always attentive, responding to guest requests promptly and professionally.
Overall, a comfortable stay with great service and good hospitality. I would happily consider returning.
Thanks to Nancy from the reception she is so helpful and collaborative! Without her the issue was not solved.
I just arrived today at 2 PM, and the room was extremely hot. I asked the reception to check the air conditioning, and they told me it was fixed. I trusted them and went out for the day. When I came back around 10 PM, the room was even hotter!
I called the reception again (different shift this time), and the person told me there’s no cold air, only heating, because the entire building uses central AC. Seriously? Every guest has to accept the same temperature? What if someone wants a cooler room? This makes absolutely no sense.
I told him that if they cannot provide cold air, then please refund my money so I can move to another hotel. He told me to contact Booking.com. I did, and Booking informed me that the hotel just needs to send a confirmation email to approve a refund. However, the reception refused, saying that only the reservation team can do that — and they don’t work on weekends! So now I have to wait until Monday, meaning I’m forced to spend two nights in a room at 29°C!
This is completely unacceptable. Poor management, poor communication, and zero care for guests’ comfort. I am stuck here suffering because of their unprofessional system.
Avoid this hotel unless you enjoy sleeping in a sauna!
