A few of the rooms have kitchenettes.

Convenient Taksim Square Location
The Gezi Hotel Bosphorus is located in the heart of Istanbul's tony Taksim neighborhood near major tourist attractions, shopping, restaurants, and the scenic Bosphorus River. The hotel is also just steps away from the city's central subway station, so getting to other parts of the city is easy and affordable.
This hotel is also near the shopping, dining, and people-watching on Independence Avenue; browsing and bartering for brass, rugs, and alabaster at the Grand Bazaar; and exploring the majesty of past eras at the massive and ornate Dolmabahce Palace.
The Bottom Line
If you're looking for a hotel in the heart of Istanbul's bustling Taksim Square area, but you'd rather not have to deal with the crowds in the bigger chain hotels, the Gezi Hotel Bosphorus offers an elegant, quiet, and luxurious alternative. This independent hotel is friendly, upscale without being showy, and just a short walk or subway ride away for the city's major tourist and business centers.
