Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Good: location, breakfast, overall cleanliness
Bad: There is a set on rooms (one on each floor) with window looking into narrow dark vent shaft. On the bottom of it is dust and cigarettes butts. They did move me to a different room when it became available next day.
Just keep that in mind.
Dark and dingy room. Window overlooking a wall two feet away. Dirty room carpet. Uncomfortable beds. Walls were so thin you could hear everything in the next door room. Bathroom vent covered in grime. Wifi poor. Suitcases left in reception area were piled up right to the bottom of the stairs causing a hazard. A concern if there was an emergency evacuation! Sullen staff in the breakfast room annoyed when I asked please could I have some milk for the cereal (as there was none.)The plus points were the hotel is in a very convenient area. The reception area and dining room were spotlessly clean. The person cleaning our room was very good too, apart from the vent. A special thank you to the man who brought the iron to my room the first time. He was so lovely and cheerful. There is a fridge in the room. The air con was not working and someone came straight away to fix it. Do not stay here if you are in a room at the back with the wall view.
The Reception was good… very helpful in organising my tours and incase of any help I needed.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
the room we were allocated had a very nasty smell in the bath room.
after day 2 we mentioned this to the reception staff who changed rooms for us.
In both rooms the noise from outside was rather loud.
rooms were basic but comfortable.
breakfast we plentiful and varied.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The room smelt probably because the carpet needed cleaning. And the staff on reception aren't very friendly and would only talk if you indicated the conversation. Never a good morning or how are you? Ect. Otherwise great location with all the sites easily walkable and great public transport connections.
Have stayed in a number of hotels in Istanbul and this was one of the quietest. Very convenient to walk to aya sofia and blue mosque but so close to Gullhane tram stop to go anywhere or a short walk to Sirkeci to get on marmary metro. Breakfast was standard Turkish.. overall a good stay.. a kettle in room would be nice

This property is in excellent shape and location was the most convenient. Everything we wanted to visit was pretty much walkable. Staff at the hotel was very very helpful and went beyond their duty to help out. Will definitely stay here again with my family. The family room was very spacious. Breakfast was good too, even my two teenage boys loved it.
The service here was great, everyone was so friendly and helpful! I loved how near it was to central Sultanahmet, it made finding food and tourist actions super easy.

It’s not too bad! Breakfast was very simple and cold! Not enough table or chairs to sit! Rooms very small compare to what they show in photos! Service was fair! I won’t go back
Very rude staff ,breakfast very poor,air condition not working,very smelly rooms i had nausea from that smell honnestly it is not worthy to be there,staff not speaking good english and rude i stayed four days i did no see any one from reception smile .
The room didn’t have AC . The rooms are too small . Their pictures are deceiving . We ask the manger to cancel our reservation and refund our money . The manager said we have to go through Expedia for refund and he will approve it . We made the request through Expedia and it was declined by the hotel manger. We lost our money . This a place is a scam . Stay away . No service . They are after you money only.
Hotel Olimpiyat is located at the heart of Istanbul.
The room was very clean, even though this hotel is a little bit old, everything was great.
Staff was helpful, breakfast was wonderful with variety of Turkish and European food.
The only disadvantage was that Wifi was really poor and sometimes didn't work at all (5th floor). But at lobby it worked well.
