Nexus By Taksim Hotel

星級評鑑以住宿資訊（飯店提供之服務與設施等）綜合評等為基準，僅供參考

This "hotel" is not a hotel, it is a youth hostel. I was scheduled to stay for almost three weeks and left after one night (even after prepaying through Expedia). A number of things: 1. While the hotel is not that far from Taksim Sq. it appears to be almost impossible for airport cabs to find. My cabby took over an hour of wondering around and asking directions to finally get me to the hotel. 2. Nobody at the hotel or in the chain of command speaks any English. I realize that I am in Turkey but this is a hospitality site and speaking English would certainly be useful. 3. The hotel is built on essentially a cliff. I have NEVER seen a steeper paved street. 4. Since no one at the hotel spoke English I did not realize that Taksim Sq. was actually about 5 blocks in the opposite direction from the cliff. 5. I did not see any creepy crawlies but the "bath towel" was a grey worn cloth the size of a dish rag. 6. The room was arraigned like a third world youth hostel. A bunch of beds scattered all over the place. 7. When I left the door man called about two different levels of supervisors who's only response to me leaving was for me to leave a good review. 8. This hotel actually has good reviews on Expedia which I simply do not understand. NEVER AGAIN

No laundry service. The shower faucet was broken and missing one shower door. The hotel was not provided the tv remote. The hotel only can have double bed room .

I booked this Hotel because they said breakfast was included. When I got there, they said the cook left so there were no breakfast which was not posted on the website. They smoked a lot in the place which was not healthy for kids and myself, the steers were always smelling of smoke. The washing machine in the apartment was not working, not slippers, no tooth paste, no shower cap. The TV was not working and was fall off the wall, 20 inch TV, lots of dust under the bed, because my wife drop a perfume and noticed under the bed. The only positive thing it's close to Taksim Square. I guess the workers tried their best but management has to fix these issues. False advertising is not good.

For the price paid. I will go back again. Even after this review. The place is good for sleep, washing clothes, and perfect location to explore. The owner, a couple, are welcoming. The bed sheets are clean. Loved the little room in the room. You got to see it to understand what is said. And very hot shower, much love to that. Much appreciated the Very fortunate part, my room was ready and I got to check in early. They had the bare minimum of needed items for household things. I would give this place 5 stars. I Always willing to be accommodating as a guess. At a certain point, I had to asked myself, how much on my part is enough? A few down falls: languages barrier. Asked for coffee. The TV turned on but not useable. Something about it not being connect. And was never fixed. The shower knob broke off. An item in the bathroom did not work, not sure what it was for. There were a pile of stuff on a chair. Not sure what that was. But left them alone. The elevator was small. But was not working when I arrived. They hand delivered the luggage to my room. When it was working, the elevator went to another floors but the main entrance. The photo shows a washer, but it is not usable. Had to go up stairs. They washed the clothes. And left it wet until I picked them up the next morning. The couple are kind people and hard working people. I wish them all the success.

Very nice couple who either own or manage it. Accomodating, a language barrier. But, we managed well with translator app. Clean spacious room. I booked family suite even tho it was just me. But wanted the extra space since i was here 3 nights. Great location. I might be back later this year. Maybe stay again. Very safe spot too!! That was a relief as i arrived at night and rainy and dark. Not scared to make my way here on my own.

It’s great and reasonably priced

We didn't like the hotel because it smelled bad and the area looked bad too. When I chose that hotel it said it had breakfast, but the person who greeted us said they didn't offer breakfast because they changed owners. The TV didn't turn on. Personally, we didn't like it and we had to change hotels, but they deceived us by offering something they didn't provide.

This is simple - decent place to crash for one or two nights. The area around is under construction but if you don't mind, the hotel is in the middle of Taksim area . The stay was advertised with free breakfast and this was incorrect. The facility and the furniture in the rooms are simple with some need for inprovement or upgrade. The hosts try their best to accommodate you with their limitted English speaking and with what they offer.

The place is a dump, surrounded by derelict buildings and not very welcoming. This is a shame as Istanbul hotels are generally nice. We should have had a twin room and a vegetarian breakfast but none were available. The room was like a bedsit and the kitchen bin had not even been emptied. Very poor effort.

Very clean and staff was very nice
