The Elysium Taksim

Nice hotel. Clean and well presented staff. Close to taxim but away form the noise. Shops and restaurants close by. Will definitely check here for price when I stay in taxim going forward.

The hotel is clearly a good hotel. And very luxurious I liked the complimentary fruit and every day bottled water was put by my bed Room service and cleaners excellent Staff always polite This could so easily be one of best hotels in Europe

The location of the hotel was excellent — close to everything and super convenient — but what truly made our stay special was the incredible staff. We had such a memorable experience thanks to their kindness and hospitality. A special mention goes to Abdul Haseeb, who was incredibly helpful and proactive throughout our stay. On the first day, we noticed that one of our rooms wasn’t the twin bed we had booked. Abdul immediately stepped in and arranged an upgrade to a larger corner room. The very next day, he helped us again by requesting upgrades for all three of our rooms to spacious suites. When the AC in one of those rooms wasn’t working properly, he once again assisted us by arranging an upgrade to even bigger suites. All of these requests were made by Abdul and kindly approved by the manager, Burak, who was equally warm, generous, and accommodating. Burak even gave us his card and assured us of the best possible service on our next visit. Both of them were truly outstanding and played a huge part in making our stay so memorable. We also want to highlight Salma at the concierge desk, who was absolutely amazing. Not only did she kindly lend us her metro card so we could load and use it, she also helped us with charger connectors when we didn’t have any. More importantly, she guided us throughout our tours and itinerary in Istanbul. Whether it was how to get around, where to catch ferries, how to navigate the train system, or simply where to go and when — she was incredibly knowledgeable and supportive. Thanks to her, exploring the city felt smooth and comfortable. Everyone at the reception also played their part in making our stay easy and enjoyable. Overall, it was a wonderful and memorable experience, and we would absolutely love to return!

A Dream Stay at Hotel Elysium – Exceptional Service & Warm Hospitality Our stay at Hotel Elysium was nothing short of fantastic! Our Maisonette Junior Suites were absolutely wonderful—spacious, impeccably clean, and beautifully designed. To our delight, we even received an upgrade, which made our stay even more special. The restaurant was another highlight of our visit. The food was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared, but what truly set it apart was the outstanding service. Ali, our server, was incredibly attentive, friendly, and full of amazing local tips. His positive energy and genuine care made every meal an experience to remember. And then there was Chef Suzan, an absolute gem! Every morning, she surprised us with new, delicious desserts at breakfast, each one a delightful treat. Her kindness, passion, and radiant personality made us feel right at home. Both Ali and Suzan are the heart and soul of this hotel, and their warm, radiant energy truly elevated our stay. If you’re looking for a place that not only offers luxury and comfort but also unparalleled hospitality, Hotel Elysium is the perfect choice.

Wonderful Stay and Exceptional Hospitality at The Elysium Taksim Due to unforeseen circumstances related to the conflict affecting my home country, my flight from Europe to Tehran was cancelled, and I had to unexpectedly stay in Istanbul. I am incredibly grateful to The Elysium Taksim Hotel for turning a difficult situation into a truly comforting experience. The hotel generously upgraded me to a stunning duplex room with large windows offering a calming view — a peaceful refuge during such a stressful time. The team extended my stay without hesitation and kindly allowed a late checkout, which made a huge difference for me. The breakfast was delicious and a perfect start to each day. I also enjoyed the spa facilities, which provided much-needed relaxation and tranquility. I want to sincerely thank the entire front office team, especially Selim, Abdul, Bahadir, Selma, and everyone else who showed such kindness, professionalism, and warmth. Their genuine care made me feel supported and welcomed far from home. I look forward to returning to The Elysium Taksim when circumstances improve. This hotel truly feels like a sanctuary, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Istanbul. Thank you once again for everything.
