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 spa facilities seemed nice, but I didn't make use of them due to other issues. The overall amenities were okay, but nothing felt luxurious as one would expect from a 5-star hotel.

I had a pleasant stay overall, but there were a few hiccups. The location near Taksim Square was perfect for exploring the city, and the staff, particularly Aziz and Guzel, were incredibly friendly and helpful. However, the nightlife noise from a nearby disco was quite disruptive, making it hard to get a good night's sleep. Additionally, the WiFi was frustratingly slow during my stay, which is something that needs improvement.
