Where Avantgarde Urban Taksim sits

The hotel stands on Abdulhakhamit Sokak in the Talimhane part of Istanbul, postcode 34437. Taksim Square is about 0.4 km away, in a straight line, and Dolmabahçe Palace about 1.6 km. Galata Tower is about 1.8 km away.

From the 24 m² Deluxe to the 30 m² Grand Deluxe

The hotel has three room types, and the differences between them come down to size and bedding rather than category. The Deluxe Double or Twin Room, at 24 m², is the smallest: it comes either as two twin beds or one queen bed and sleeps up to 3, so it works for a couple, or a couple with one child sharing.

The Family Room is 28 m² with two double beds, and children are allowed at the hotel. The Grand Deluxe Double Room is the largest at 30 m², with one queen bed plus a sofa bed; it suits a couple who want extra space, or three people travelling together.
