Tryp by Wyndham Istanbul Taksim

There is a club right beside this hotel - they play music until 2am!!! We booked it as it said good for families but we had to drown that music out to go to bed. If we knew this we would have picked a different hotel.

The rooms and hotel is clean and nice in appearance. Check-in and our staff were okay. There was no advice on where the room was or room number, just handed a key and pointed at lifts. At the lifts there were no signs to tell you what floor your room would be. To no honest though, the main reason for my low 3 out of 5 review is the food and waiter service. When arriving for dinner at 7 we were literally pointed into the restaurant where tables were half layers or set with pre poured water (unsure how long water had been there). We found a table without water as presumed in use. Anyhow, then 20 minutes later after a few other confused guests came in and wondered around like we did a waiter came over. I asked if there was a menu and he said no. I asked what are we having and he said soup. I asked what soup and he said corn soup. I was a-bit confused and waited. Anyhow he then brought out some awful watery/creamy soup, I tried this and left it. He then brought a side salad, which was nice fresh salad. And the some chicken, potato and rice. The chicken was so dry and tasteless we left it all and just ate the rice. I was shocked that we were not given any options, or offered drinks and not even asked if we were vegetarian or had any allergies. Anyhow. Just sleep here and leave!! Oh also, so you know if you want to use the pool it’s an additional €5 per person for a mandatory swimming cap. I hope this review is helpful

We stayed in this hotel for a week. It was our worst experience in Istanbul. The room was very dirty. The floor of the room was full of garbage and it was dirty. We asked the reservation to clean the room better but it was not done. During our stay, they did not let us use the pool even once. They made excuses every day. Breakfast was very simple and lacked variety. They didn't even have fried eggs and omelettes. The staff did not pay attention to our requests at all. Another thing that was very bad was that they behaved much better with their own countrymen. They brought a special breakfast for them. Special tea and glass of water. Choosing this hotel was our biggest mistake in the trip.

Nice staff: they are always prompt to help Good location: the hotel is very close to Taksim square and allows you to walk the city and enjoy its architecture, art and wonderful heritage. Rooftop: great view while having breakfast
