I had a mix of experiences at Grand Star Hotel Bosphorus & Spa. While the location near Taksim Square made it super easy to explore, the room cleanliness and service left a lot to be desired. Breakfast could definitely use some improvement too; it was more of a letdown than a highlight.
Rooms
5.0
I was first placed in a room on floor -3 with a horrible smell and a clogged sink. After complaints, they moved me to the 5th floor, which was better but still not up to par. Some rooms have great views, but cleanliness was hit or miss.
Service

The staff was a mixed bag. Some were friendly and helpful, while others were quite rude. I noticed that service varied a lot throughout my stay.

Amenities were okay but not reliable. The spa was underwhelming, with poor service during my visit. The lack of proper hot water during the spa service was particularly frustrating.

My stay at the Grand Star Hotel Bosphorus & Spa was a mix of highs and lows. The location near Taksim Square was fantastic for exploring the city, plus I got a bit of a sea view which was nice. However, the service was lacking; the reception staff seemed unprofessional and I encountered several issues with cleanliness and room facilities. I was expecting more from a hotel of this caliber, and unfortunately, it fell short in many areas.
Rooms
5.0
I had to change rooms due to initial problems like a clogged sink and a broken shower. Room cleanliness was hit or miss, and I noticed issues that took time to resolve. The internet in one of the towers was painfully slow, which didn't help my stay.
Service
5.0
The staff was often unhelpful and not very responsive to my needs. When I requested a different room due to the view issues, I was just told to check later without much real assistance.
Location

The location was really the best part, just a short walk from Taksim Square, with plenty of shops and dining close by. It's perfect for anyone looking to explore Istanbul.
Dining

Breakfast was disappointing, with a lack of fresh options available. One morning, the buffet was nearly empty when I went down, which forced me to skip it altogether.
Facilities
5.0
The hotel had basic amenities but they were often unreliable. For example, my room lacked water service and electrical issues occurred, which made the facilities feel a bit outdated.

I recently stayed at the Grand Star Hotel Bosphorus & Spa and had a mixed experience. The location was fantastic, with easy access to Taksim Square and nearby shops and restaurants, but my time was marred by several issues. The cleanliness in my room was subpar, and I faced some unfortunate interactions with staff that negatively affected my stay. While there were moments of good service, they were overshadowed by significant drawbacks related to room conditions and service consistency.

My stay at the Grand Star Hotel Bosphorus & Spa was quite a mixed bag. While I appreciated its excellent location near Taksim Square, which made it easy to explore Istanbul, the room experience left much to be desired.
