The location is excellent, with a great view of the Bosphorus. The rooms are tastefully designed, clean, and tidy. All the hotel staff are very friendly and welcoming!

I only stayed at this hotel for one night, but it left a very good impression on me. The staff were genuinely kind and welcoming. The room was modern and very clean, with a large window and a great view of Istanbul, which I really enjoyed.

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.

This was my second stay at this hotel, and once again we had an amazing experience. The staff and service were truly 10/10. I would like to thank the entire team for their professionalism, friendliness, and helpfulness. Special thanks to Mr. Burak from the reception, as well as Mr. Kutay and Mr. Gencer — they all made our stay even more comfortable and special.

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.

My stay at the Gezi Hotel was a very positive experience overall, primarily because the location was absolutely perfect and made exploring the city incredibly easy. The rooms were notably clean and well-maintained; although they were a bit on the small side, they were still comfortable and well-designed for a pleasant stay. What truly stood out was the service, as every member of the staff was exceptionally helpful and welcoming, ensuring I felt right at home from the moment I arrived. However, the facilities were the only real downside, specifically the gym, which needs a massive improvement to match the quality of the rest of the hotel. Despite the small rooms and the lacking gym, the combination of the prime location and the professional, friendly team still makes this a good choice for a stay.

The staff at Gezi Bosphorus truly made this stay exceptional. From the moment I arrived, the service was kind, personal, and genuinely thoughtful, and I felt right at home.

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.
15.12.2025 Amr
Amazing hotel with a stunning view! I booked the Sky Suite and was thrilled to find it looked exactly like the pictures—you truly get what you book here.

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.

A gorgeous hotel with a stunning view and a great location just steps from Taksim Square. The staff is friendly, meeting you at the taxi, taking your suitcases, and walking you to the transfer – they're simply amazing! The room is clean, with a wonderful scent everywhere, and the towels are fluffy and fragrant. We stayed two nights, and after the first night, they cleaned the room and even changed our slippers for new ones. Excellent service! The breakfast was a bit basic, but everything was fine. A great hotel. We'll be back!

Facilities are good, room tidy and clean. Service are nice. Only draw back is limited bottled water supply, which is not friendly enough for travellers

Review – Nippon Hotel, Istanbul
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.

On the first night, I complained to the hotel because I couldn’t sleep due to the heat (in winter time), I was tired then. They were unable to fix the air conditioner, and next morning I asked to change rooms. They moved us to another room that is smaller, for four people, but with better air conditioning. This means I paid for a Family Deluxe room of 35 m² but had to stay in a room of about 20 m². This experience is bad.

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.
14.12.2025 Fahad
I had a very pleasant stay at the hotel. The property is very clean, and the staff are friendly, welcoming, and consistently helpful. I appreciated the thoughtful touches such as the welcoming fruit plates and Turkish delights, which made the stay feel even more personalized.

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.
02.12.2025 Genti
Good service overall. In the rooms, the wardrobes are very small. If you plan to go with small children, you won’t be able to enter or exit with a stroller, which really annoyed me. The hotel doesn’t have parking. Breakfast is moderately good.
09.11.2025 Mordred
Edit 1: the issue is solved after a long discussion back and forth with the hotel and Booking.com.
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!
