“Ahc Taksim Hotel sits a little removed from the central bustle, which can be a double-edged sword. The walk to Taksim Square is manageable, though not entirely flat, and some rooms may feel basic relative to the price. Sweet restaurant staff and a decent view offer some recompense, but consider if the location truly suits your Istanbul itinerary.”
