nice clean hotel for reasonable money for Taksim. A half-board lunch is decent and, compared to going to a restaurant, it will save a lot (22 euros plus the BB rate). Downstairs at minus 3 there is a sauna (on), a hammam, a swimming pool (on), exercise equipment (on). Before that, I stayed in 5-6 hotels of the same budget in the Taksim area. Occidental is currently a favorite for the next trips!
A very nice hotel in the very center of the new city of the European part of Istanbul. Taksim Square and Istiklal Street are about a 2-minute walk away. Fully corresponds to its stars. There are several types of steam rooms in the spa area and a swimming pool, for which you need a rubber cap, you can buy there. The receptionists are beyond praise. I highly recommend it.
