Mediocre hotel in the centre of Istanbul

The only thing going for this hotel is the central location (which is on a pedestrian street meaning taxis can’t always drop off outside). In other countries this would be a 3 Star hotel… it is old fashioned; doesn’t offer basic services like 24 hour room service. The roof top restaurant is great, but it is separate from the hotel. I ordered a bottle of wine to take back to my room, but was told I’d have to get two wine glasses from reception. The rooms are small with shower and toilet facilities that are more like a portacabin. Likewise, the so called ‘Spa’ is a separate business and costs in addition to the room price. The therapist was not at work the weekday I was there, meaning the spa was closed. Overall, the hotel is very dated; the service male dominated. This is not a hotel to stay in if you are looking for something a bit special and to experience the magic of Istanbul.

Outstanding hotel in the heart of old city

This is a wonderful hotel with outstanding staff and excellent location. Bahia Sophia, The Blue Mosque, Topkapi palace and Basilica cisterna within 15 minutes walk. Front desk managers Aziz and Ahmed and their staff were extra helpful. Highly recommended.

Excellent hotel in the hear of Istanbul

We stayed overnight did too x connecting flight. The staff is outstanding and responsive to my requests even before we arrived. The location couldn’t bd better. Hagia Sofia, the Blue mosque are about 13 minutes. Numerous shops and restaurants are at the doorsteps. The hotel has a beautiful rooftop restaurant. A second restaurant are ground floor. In the limited hours we had, we were able to shop, dine snd offer prayers at Hogia Sofia. Metro station is few minutes away. The hotel provided airport shuttle for $50 which was a very good deal and safe. On our way back from Finland, we have made a reservation to stay at this hotel again for 2 nights

We decided on this property due the reputation it holds but we’re very disappointed that the AC was not working during our stay. No fans were provided when requested and were told there was an electricity issue. During our whole stay we had sleepless nights due to the heat and nothing was done to rectify this despite numerous requests. No apology from the manager either. Compared to other places with AC this hotel sets their AC at a high temperature and it is fixed, you will not be able to lower it. We did not look forward to coming back to our rooms to sleep knowing that we will be very uncomfortable. It was cooler in McDonald’s!! I would pay half the rate they charge here. Not worth the high money paid.

A beautifully maintained hotel with really warm staff who are very attentive and friendly . The location is great with easy access to all tourist destinations . It has an excellent on site restaurant and also hundreds of other restaurants and cafes within within distance . The tram is also a few minutes walk from the hotel, very easy to get to shopping areas . The breakfast has a good choice to start the day with hot ans cold items . The room we had was superior which was an upgrade with a lovely balcony with fantastic views of Istanbul . It was spotless with a luxurious bathroom with separate marble rain shower and a jet spa tub . Lots of toiletries in the room , loofahs, dental kits etc The maintenance team in particular Nibehat were always checking if we needed anything like water , towels . The reception staff were also always pleasant always smiling and welcoming. I have been to Istanbul many times and I would definitely recommend this hotel .

Excellent stay in this gorgeous Hotel, my husband and I were returning to Istanbul for our 20th wedding anniversary we had our honeymoon in Istanbul and have been there many times before as we used to live in Northern Cyprus. I chose the hotel mainly for its location and rooftop restaurant, we always stay in this location as we think it is the best oldest part of the city. If it is your first time everything is within walking distance : ). The staff were amazing and a special mention for Tolga on reception who was just so helpful and really made our stay a pleasure all of the staff were amazing and very friendly if we return to Istanbul which is likely as we love it there we will definately return to the Lottie Cok Guzel
