This is a small hotel which is just a stone throw away from Taksim Square. Main selling point can be its breakfast, which is amazing. It has got rooms with the view of Bosphorus Strait. Room is moderate and comfortable. Service is good enough. But hotel is far away from being a star hotel given its basic facilities - small... More

Stayed at the Central Palace Hotel the beginning of Sept. for 4 nights. Family of 4, with 2 rooms, adjacent to each other. The hotel is located a short walk from Taksim Square, where there is a lot of activity, shopping and restaurants.

The Central Palace Hotel is a quite nice hotel, but I never got the really nice feeling about it, it didn't feel very personal. The hotel is overall very clean and feels new. (!) Beware about the hotel description on Bookings.com or other sites. For example they promise balcony in every room - which is not true. LOCATION is very... More

It was difficult researching Turkish hotels as a majority of them seem to have numerous positive ratings written by "guests" having only written one review! We were persuaded to stay at this hotel because of the hotel's inviting website. We were expecting it to be... More

Stayed 2 nights, service was outstanding, rooms are clean and welcoming, the bathrooms were a delight. The location in the middle of the Taksim district is handy to a range of restaurants and nightlife. Breakfast is varied with a really good range of local foods, which are tasty and worth giving a try, particularly liked the honey straight from the... More

Central Palace was a great experince. We stayed in a Standart Room but it was just a first class suite with a great balcony. Furniture, sheets, bathroom, breakfast was amazing. For the first time after choosing a hotel from internet, I found the room much better than it was shown in the pics! Location is great so so close to... More

We visited Istanbul for the first time and booked the hotel through booking.com for a 3 nights stay. We arrived very early in the morning and as the room was not yet available the front desk offerd us complimentary breakfast. Breakfast has got a large variety of both european and local dishes to please everyone. The dining area is spacious,... More

My wife and I stayed at the Central Palace for 4 nights in late December 2010. The hotel is located on a pedestrian street off Taksim Square. Our room (901) was comfortable and clean, with a spacious bathroom and an equally spacious balcony overlooking the neighborhood. The weather in Istanbul during our stay was pleasantly warm (for December), and we... More
