Free valet parking a big bonus in Istanbul. There are 3 underground floors for dining and conferences. The hotel is much bigger than it looks. Lifts. Fantastic buffet breakfast. Fantastic room. If you take a bath you need to get the flow from the tap correct to avoid wetting the floor.

The staff were extremely helpful. They were not pushy about cleaning the rooms. Whenever you put the sign out to clean the room, they came in. It was an easy and relaxed check-out. They also had a later check-out time which is very comforting.

very nice hotel its two minute walk to taksim square but don't expect a cup of tea, because every hotel in istanbul offer you cup of tea all day around the clock, but in central palace you have to paid for it, not only that the breakfast its very very poor, other than that the hotel are in excellent location and the room are beautiful. close your eye and go for it.

The hotel only has a breakfast restaurant but tons of dining options within 5 minute walk.
However, pack your own iron.
They only have a few irons for the whole hotel. If someone else has them, you are SOL! I was not able to get one for 2 days. Any, one of the morning staff simply not friendly at all ☹️
