This was by far the worst hotel experience I have ever had. The room was extremely small and located right next to the lift, making it impossible to have any privacy—you could hear every single noise from outside, and people could hear you inside. On top of that, there was a very bad smell in the hallway and outside the room, which made the stay even more unpleasant.
The cleanliness was unacceptable; even after “cleaning,” the room was clearly not clean, and the bed sheets were never changed during my entire stay. When I requested a late checkout, they initially refused. Only after I insisted and offered to pay did they agree, charging an outrageous $13 per hour.
Overall, this hotel is poorly managed, unprofessional, and completely disrespectful to guests. The noise, the smell, the lack of cleanliness, and the rude behavior made this the worst travel experience ever. I strongly advise everyone to avoid this place—it will ruin your trip.

I stayed at this hotel for five nights and booked one room with breakfast for €475.
The hotel has a good location and the room itself was spacious and comfortable.

However, the staff attitude was very cold, especially at the reception desk. I requested a one-hour late checkout to organize my belongings, and it was refused immediately without any consideration. I had heard the exact same excuse being given to another guest on my arrival day, which makes it clear that the hotel offers no flexibility at all to its guests.

Breakfast was below average. I only went once and did not return after that.

My room was on the 10th floor, but the elevator only goes up to the 9th floor, so I had to use the stairs to reach my room every time, which was inconvenient.

I've stayed in this hotel for about 75 days from october till the end of December, unfortunately it was not possible to change the hotel because of the company agreement. If you like to sleep in a quite room this hotel is not for you. I've changed many rooms in the hotel and all of them have the same problem there is almost no walls in the hotel. You can literally hear the people talking jn the room next to you, imagine having loud guests from time to time it was really annoying and there was nothing to be done from the hotel side.
The good thing about the hotel is the location steps from taksim square otherwise everything was not related to the hotel classification.
The rooms are noisy, the windows are not air tight, the gym is very poor and old. Also one time after having a shower I opened a fresh towel to use and a hair ball (picture added) fall out of it which let me question the cleaning and washing of the towels and bed sheets.
I don't recommend it for more than 3 or 4 days stay.
I have to mention that most of the staff was kind a respectful specially vulkan, erkan, yusuf, the respectable valet man and the gym receptionists.

WE BOOKED WITH TURKISH HOLIDAYS / PERFECTSTAY)
One of the WORST hotels I’ve ever been in!

First they gave us the room we didn’t book. It was an absolutely disgusting, loud, smelly room and we didn’t sleep at all.

The pool - SEE PICTURE. Never seen a pool this dirty in my life. I hope we won’t get sick because we only noticed it once we were already swimming.

Had to ask 4 times in total for bathrobes and clothing iron until it got to our room.

Breakfast - MISERABLE. Very little choice, more as a 3 star hotel.

Next day they put us in another room - the other guests were extremely loud very late in the night and it was extremely awkward for us, the staff only helped after calling multiple times. We were friends lucikly because I don’t know how it would be if there were children in the room.

Staff - hit or miss. Some are good, and some really bad at their job.

Overall, very unpleasant experience. Would never stay at this hotel or any other of their chain hotels ever again due to this experience. Would only book a trusted 5 star in Turkey from now on - trust me, it will be worth to skip this mess! I wouldn’t go here if EVEN YOU PAID ME!

During a layover in Istanbul this past February, I stayed at the Elite World Comfy in Taksim, and it was honestly one of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had in Istanbul. The hotel was absolutely fantastic. Everything from the quality of the service to the cleanliness and the overall vibe was top-notch. The rooms were pristine, elegant, and truly reflected the spirit of Istanbul. The staff were incredibly professional and attentive, and I felt very well taken care of. Overall, it was an outstanding stay that perfectly captured the essence of the city. I highly recommend it!

The staff is not friendly at all, except when we checked out someone helped a lot in carrying our luggage. Having a breakfast there feels like waiting in a prison queue, you need to wait at least 15 min to to be served (I understand it because Covid but it shouldn't be like that, you could add another line of the buffet as your hotel is fully occupied) also the food selection was very limited even when you choose to have omlette we must accept what they prepared which was one standard type. The funny thing is that the distance between my table and the table right to me is less than 10 cm and on the left less than 50 cm!
I had to wait 15 min to receive towels which were taken by the housekeeper (the old ones) but didn't replace them with new ones. Same for the toilet papers!
I don't know of the management of the hotel asked their employees to stop smiling as I didn't see anyone smiling.
A very bad experience!

Very bad not recommended at all. Very expensive and they ask for deposit while checking in. 130$ per night for what? And a deposit? And despite that their night duty manager is so rude , they removed the mini bar because i didnt pay deposit.

Service was excellent, nice view, very good clean.
And receptionist are very polite and friendly.
Specially Guzel she is very nice person
02.04.2021 Majid
It's most like 2-3 star hotel. Unorganized hotel ( we paid € as deposit , they returned the change in TL) when asked why, they said we don't have change ?!!! So 4* hotel don't have € change?!!
Room ok and clean but I will definitely try other hotel in the same area.
To sum it up, if you have choice, look somewhere else. Make sure to have swimming cap otherwise the sale you cap with high money (€)
24.03.2021 Said
The hotel is ok, breakfast is ok, staff is ok but its extremely noisy because of the uncivilized gests wich are visiting. Imagine noise untill 3 am made by children playing in the halls and by adults speaking on the their phones and talking to each other. Taksim is not civiluzed place to visit.
Share your experiences, help others make the right choice!
Think about what you would like to know if you were looking for a review about a place to relax. Please describe in detail what you liked and what you didn't. What would you advise to other guests and to the hotel owner. The more fully you tell about the hotel, the easier it will be for other people to make a choice and they will be very grateful to you!

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.

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.

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.

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!
