My only complaint about the hotel is the high prices for their wine and other drinks - really out of sight and ridiculous. Otherwise it is in a great location by Taskim Square. The rooms were nice size and the bathrooms were fine too. The decor was especially tasteful and fit the style of Istanbul. The rooftop garden is small... more

I stayed at the Germir Palas 5 nights in september, and was very pleased with the stay. The hotel interior is old fashioned in a charming orient express way which I liked. The room was clean and quiet and with good a/c. Nice bathroom with bathtub. The breakfast was a little boring, but the coffee was good and the breakfast... more

The Germir Palas Hotel is located around the corner from Taxim Square and just across the street from the pick up/drop off point of the airport bus line. Higher floors are less noisy and there is always the possibility of closing the sole window and relying on the air-conditioning. The rooms and loby are plush and comfortable, and since it... more

My wife and I stayed for six nights at the hotel. It is located around 200 m from Taksim square, which makes it super convenient for getting around Istanbul. The hotel lobby is very tastefully decorated with lots of wood panelling and lovely rugs and couches. The hotel is generally well maintained. The rooms are also tastefully decorated. Beds are... more

Stayed at this hotel on 2 occasions. It provides an island of peace in this part of town and the stay was very enjoyable. It feels like staying in an English Gentleman's club. Only downside perhaps are the cost of drinks at the bar and the slightly dull breakfast room in the basement, but otherwise a great place to relax... more

Stayed here as part of a tour following a conference so paid a very reasonable rate. Had just been in hotels in Izmir and then Bursa, and the Germir Palas was greatly superior to those. Comfortable room, luxurious bedroom with stunningly good cotton sheets; and, really lovely staff, and excellent breakfasts. The 'English' bar is slightly grim (on ground floor)... more

Convenient location, not too noisy (at least if you stay in the rooms facing the side streets), small rooms for two people, outdated furnishing, not very expensive rates. An average hotel. more

Like so many other big chain hotels, Germir Palas is located near Taksim Square but outstands easily these hotels (Crystal, Golden Age 1 etc.) by many detailed qualities like the interior design, atmosphere, quality of the breakfast, service and cleaniness. Our other friends were staying around Taksim as well and one day we did this tour to check out each... more

We stayed at the Germir Palas Hotel as part of a tour from May 7th to 9th and from May 20th to 23rd. We really loved this hotel...the rooms were tastefully decorated, clean and very comfortable. The beds were extremely comfortable with fluffy duvet covers. The hotel itself is only approx. 49 rooms, so the staff does get to know... more
