My stay at Elite World Istanbul Taksim had its ups and downs. The location near Taksim Square is incredibly convenient and the breakfast options were quite varied. However, I encountered some issues with room cleanliness and staff behavior that detracted from my experience. Overall, it felt more like a 3-star hotel rather than the advertised 5-star status. 😞

The location near Taksim Square was perfect for exploring the city, and the staff, particularly Aziz and Guzel, were incredibly friendly and helpful.
