Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Elysium Taksim is often praised for its spacious rooms, with some guests even receiving upgrades to enjoy the extra space. Its location is a definite plus, being just steps away from Taksim Square, providing easy access to explore the city; plus there are knick-knack shops in the neighborhood. The hotel also offers a pool, spa, and sauna for relaxation. While many appreciate the extensive breakfast options, a few guests have mentioned occasional issues with housekeeping and response times, but overall, guests find the 24/7 room service to be a convenient luxury.

the junior suite was amazing and had everything i needed. every single staff member inside and outside. i found friendliness and warm cute to be consistent from everyone.

i noticed no sign board to see whether the food is vegetarian or non vegetarian. i hope they put a mark on pure vegetarian dishes. it would greatly improve the dining experience for vegetarian guests. this change will make it easy to identify suitable options.
