If I'm not wrong Divan Istanbul is the first 5 star hotel of Istanbul. It's in a very good location, near Taksim square. Also Hyatt Regency Istanbul and Ceylan Intercontinental Hotel are just near Divan. This is a very old hotel so it's not that big or modern. But very clean and has excellent staff. If I'm not wrong they... more

Behind a rather modest facade, it was a modern Hotel with special emphasis on quality service. Its location is central and convenient for tourists. Rooms were well decorated and equiped with all amenities, room service is very good and staff very attentive and courteous. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would like to come back if visit Istanbul in future. more

The hotel is perfectly positioned in Istanbul, located in the downtown area where life is happening, walking distance from Taksim Square, lots of restaurants, walking zones and almost all public transportation (very efficient!) goes from there. Room service at the hotel was good, the staff helpful and breakfast was delicious. We specially loved the patisserie located on the ground floor.... more
