“Blue Istanbul Hotel Taksim aims for a modern, community-focused vibe with free room upgrades when possible and transportation cards for getting around the city; however, I noted some reports of rooms not matching expectations and extra costs for breakfast at a nearby location. If you prioritize responsive service and a central location near Taksim Square over predictable luxury, it's worth considering.”
