Taxim Hotel Marin: hammam, family rooms and a lift

The hotel sits in Beyoglu, about 0.4 km from Taksim Square in a straight line. Galata Tower is about 1.3 km away, Dolmabahçe Palace about 1.8 km, Topkapı Palace about 2.6 km, Hagia Sophia about 3.1 km and Sultan Ahmed Mosque about 3.4 km, all measured in a straight line.

The smallest room is the 15 m² Economy Double, which takes one double bed and sleeps up to 3. The Single Room at 18 m² has a twin bed and sleeps up to 1. The Standard Double or Twin at 24 m² offers either a twin or a double. The Triple Room at 28 m² has three twin beds.

The suites open up. The Classic Suite at 38 m² pairs a queen bed with a sofa bed and has a city view. The Superior Suite, Terrace at 40 m² combines a double, a twin and a sofa bed. The Suite with Terrace at 50 m² puts three sofa beds alongside a queen bed, also with a city view. The Classic Suite and the Suite with Terrace are the two rooms with a stated city view.

For a couple, the Classic Suite or the Standard Double or Twin gives a clear bed arrangement without extra sofa beds to make up. The Economy Double sleeps up to 3 on one double bed. The Triple Room has three twin beds in 28 m². For a group needing the most bed space, the Suite with Terrace combines three sofa beds with a queen bed across 50 m².

A hammam gives guests a place to unwind at the end of a day. Room service means a meal can come to the room rather than requiring a trip out. Family rooms are available for households travelling together. A lift serves the upper floors, so guests with luggage or young children need not manage stairs.

• The hammam suits a guest who wants to decompress after a long flight.
• Room service and family rooms make the hotel practical for households with children.
• The lift matters most for guests in the upper-floor suites carrying luggage.

Check-in begins at 14:00 and check-out is until 12:00.

• Children are allowed.
• Pets are not allowed.
• The hotel has no parking.

The range from a single twin-bed room to a 50 m² suite with three sofa beds covers solo travellers, couples and small groups. The Economy Double sleeps up to 3; the Triple Room has three twin beds; the Suite with Terrace combines three sofa beds with a queen bed. The hammam, room service and lift suit a guest who wants to settle in without arranging meals or transfers elsewhere.

The absence of parking and the ban on pets rule out anyone arriving by car with a dog or cat. Guests who drive will need to arrange parking elsewhere. Check-in from 14:00 gives a wide arrival window for those landing in the afternoon or evening.
