-Nothing was good about it. - The staff were rude.. except one - no cleaning services - Bed was very dirty and make noise all the time.. we asked for Solving the problem but they didn't do anything. - The area is very noisy until 4 o'clock in the mornings.. the windows of course are not soundproof - The area is very crowded and the driving option is unlikely - the staff are limited and most of the hospitality services are not provided - It is not preferable place for families - I don't recommend this place at all for anyone - مكان سيء للغايه ولا يعكس التعليقات التي قرئتها عنه سابقا - لا يوجد اي معايير للناظفه ابدا - طاقم غير متعاون ولا يقدم خدمات الاساسيه للعملاء - الاسره قذره والملايات ممزقه وعلاوه على ذلك السرير قديم ويصدر اصوات وعند طلب حل المشكله لا يقوم القائمون على الفندق بأي مبادره - المكان مزعج ويوجد مراقص قربه والازعاج وصوت الاغاني الى الفجر مع العلم لا يوجد نوافذ عازله للصوت في المجمل المنطقه مكتضه وخيار قياده السياره صعب جدا - لا يصلح ابدا للعوائل ولا انصح به لاي احد اذا اراد الراحه - خدمه الواي فاي سيئه للغايه ولا تغطي جميع الغرف

Hotel staff are nice and welcoming, clean room (except the wooden shower floor), comfortable bed. BUT the only unforgivable sin for a hotel is thay you can’t get a good night’s sleep. There is a loud bar that plays live music about 7 meters from the hotel until around 4am. Only stay here if sleep is optional.

Good location; friendly and very helpful staff with a great sense of humour; the bed was quite big for the room size; I only stayed for one night; if I had stayed longer, I would have preferred a smaller bed with more room space.

hotel location is nice, but rooms are not comfortable at all, and you can have sleepless nights because of noice from outside. Curtains were terrible, no toiletries in wash room, not worth the money at all. Really disappointed to waste my money on it.

When i checked into the Taksim Prelude I learned that Expedia had accidentally double booked my reservation.This was a clear mistake and I asked the hotel to rectify it. In the morning however I learned nothing had been done and furthermore the manager was determined to charge me for both rooms. While discussing at the front desk, the owner came by and said he would fix the issue if I gave hime a 5 star rating. I checked back one week later and learn I am still being charged for the second room. I have called the hotel several times. Mostly the staff claims not to speak english and hang up. The Taksim Prelude and its staff deserve a 1 star rating not an artificially inflated 5 just to increase its score.
