Taksim Diamond Hotel

the most Horrible hotel i have ever been, Rooms are very tiny & small like couple with their luggages will not be able to move freely. Showers are the worst ever. Sometime they do not clean your room. mosiquitos & insects everywhere. The staff is unhelpfull we requested a better room yet no response. it should get less then 1 star. Conclusion do not come to this hotel it is a scam to what you will see online.

I initially booked The Golden Pera Hotel on ***********, but they did not keep their commitment, and had no room for us at 11 PM in a foreign to us city of Istanbul. This is a separate story which I will write a review about as well. We would not have to deal with Taksim Diamond if our booking with The Golden Pera was honored. So The GP referred us to as they called it a "better" hotel which was Taksim Diamond Hotel. They charged us $78 without showing us the pigeon hole they were putting us -three people- in. We could not open the door to our room, because the room was literally 2 meters by 2 meters or close to that. Could not open the door into the microscopic bathroom because it interfered with the bed. Could not shower because the bathroom was microscopic and the toilet and the shower were in the same area. If you showered , your toilet paper and towels would be all soaking wet. Two people could not be in that bathroom at all. Microscopic sink also. I dont want to sound prejudice, but I felt like hotel people are so used to lying that they dont even feel any remorse. Cannot trust them! Also, on the internet all hotels look big and nice. In reality, unlike American hotels, they are mostly microscopic. If you want a nice hotel, it is not cheap in Turkiye! Anything below $100 is going to be a lemon. Go with the established brand names to be safe and happy, but be prepared to pay between $200-500 per day. Good luck to you travelers
