About

Noviva Hotel Taksim

The building keeps its old-world character while the rooms have been updated with modern comforts — soundproofing, air conditioning, and flat-screen TVs are standard. Wi-Fi covers the whole property, and the 24-hour reception makes late arrivals straightforward.

The hotel is a five-minute walk from Taksim Square and Istiklal Street, putting the city's shopping, dining, and nightlife on your doorstep.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Dining score lags behind — The lowest rating category is Dining at 6.8, suggesting the food offering may not match the standards of the rooms and service.
  • Value for money is modest — The Value rating of 7.1 is below the hotel's overall rating, indicating some guests felt the price didn't fully match the experience.
  • Limited on-site facilities — Facilities score 7.4, and the amenity list focuses on room comforts rather than extras like a gym or spa. Guests expecting large common areas may be disappointed.
  • Parking may be tight — Parking is listed as an amenity, but in the dense Taksim area spaces can be limited and may incur extra cost. Confirm directly with the hotel.
