Grand Zentrum Hotel

The location to Taksim is the best added value to this hotel. The staff are very friendly, especially Esraa and her team in the reception. Also the lady managing the restaurant is very cooperative. Though, I didn’t like it from the beginning I preferred to continue staying there due to the location and the people I come to know there.

I found it totally different from the photos in booking, not clean enough, breakfast is very simple and no variety of food and cold, rooms are small and need to be renovated. And before you book, make sure that the money will be deducted from your visa in Euro/US dollars or any equivalents in your local currency, but if taken in Turkish Lira there will be around 20-25% increase and you will never know unless they deduct from your visa.

The hotel located walking distance to the Metro station, walking distance to few attraction spots in Asian side of Istanbul. The room size is good. The staff were very helpful .

The lift stops at level 6, you have to carry your bags if you are living in level 7. The furniture need to be re-looked at. Breakfast is very basic and need some improvement.
