Bij aankomst was ons gezegd dat we gelijk konden inchecken(we kwamen midden in de nacht aan).We konden niet inchecken want ze hadden onze kamer die nacht aan een andere gast verhuurd.Wij moesten 8 uren wachten totdat onze kamer vrij was.Hotel was zeer gehorig en personeel zeer onvriendelijk.We raden deze hotel dus niet aan. ##### sandhya ### 6/10 Okay #### Shahd 13 Jul 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### May Hotel perfect staff Very nice and helpful staff; Nizar and Ozz and the others. The hotel geographic location is good, very close to Grand bazaar and local restaurants. The problem was the area(streets) were dirty. And you have to be fit to go up hills reach main road/ metro. The tour was wondrful. ##### Shahd ### 4/10 Poor #### Nikolay, Sofia 18 Apr 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### May Hotel give you fake extras May Hotel offering free parking. It is not true. Hotel haven't parking. Hotel area is prohibited daily for cars. We have booked 2 triple rooms in this hotel but we got 2 single room with one extra large bed and claustrophobic room. For this room the hotel may receive only one star. 3 stars is a joke with clients. ##### Nikolay ### 2/10 Terrible #### Q, Scotland 8 Apr 2015 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Worst experience ever Hotel is situated on a hill 20 minutes walk from the central sultan ahmet area. Hotel staff decently friendly however rooms are tiny, dirty showers/bathroom. The beds are terrible and require changing-staff are you paying attention!! Bed sheets were dirty and when they got changed, which they did after 3 requests, the new sheets were also dirty. I travelled with my pregnant wife so I required a hotel with breakfast...their breakfast was terrible. I had to spend extra money every morning to buy food from outside. We fell ill after eating the fruit the first morning. Bread was awful and the only decent thing to eat was the bread. Tea was so string and tasted like wee. Overall, regardless of what your budget is, do not book here. Trust me, you will regret it. If I had the money to, I would've checked out the following morning and booked elsewhere. ##### Q ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 10 Dec 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very nice hotel in a somewhat scruffy area the hotel was really very nice. Situated in a somewhat "authentic" if not scruffy, but very safe working class area, the hotel was a little oasis in the midst of it. Don't need an alarm clock - the call to prayer at 6.00 will probably wake you - but that's part of the Istanbul experience! ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 16 Nov 2014 #### Leuk hotel vlakbij het centrum Het hotel ligt in een drukke straat, maar daarom wel overal dichtbij, onze kamer op de benedenverdieping langs de straat was wel erg gehorig . ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### Peter 27 Sept 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Difficult to find but worth it in the end A nice little hotel, the pics make it look better than it is but it's in a pretty good location for Sultanahmet albeit tough to find at first - especially in the dark! It's on a very steep hill so beware if that's an issue for you. Aside from that it's clean, comfortable and cheap. The rooms are a bit small and it's not plush by any stretch but if your here to see the city rather than sit in your room then this will do you very nicely ( to sleep and pit stop). ##### Peter ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gábor, Budapest 8 Aug 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Tiszta, jó elhelyezkedésű hotel Kellemes négy éjszakát töltöttünk a hotelben. A svédasztalos reggeli nagyon választékos volt, a hotel 15 perc sétára található a Hagia Sophia-tól. Mindennap szép tiszta volt a szobánk és az egész hotel. ##### Gábor ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 16 Jun 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### A good location A good location with walking distance to all the tourist attractions. Its a 10 min walk however a hike up the hill so would not suggest to the elderly. The hotel is small but clean and friendly staff. The street gets busy in the night with trucks unloading and garbage collection which can get quite noisy. However the location, price and cleanliness offsets this. ##### Verified traveller ### 4/10 Poor #### eva maria 19 Feb 2014 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort #### hotel für wochenendtrip zimmer mit teilnahmegarantie am privatleben der mitbewohner. im zimmer 1. stock war der fensterblick auf eine mauer nicht gerade erhebend\_auf den wunsch das zimmer zu wechseln (hotel war nicht voll belegt) wurde nicht eingegangen. ;( personal distanziert freundlich. für kurztrip okay ##### eva maria ### 8/10 Good #### Usman, Islamabad, Pakistan 2 Jan 2013 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Decent place to stay in middle of Fatih Was cheap, right in the centre of the Fatih and if I am travelling alone for a few days will not mind staying again. Staff was helpful and even helped me traverse the Istanbul with helpful directions and tips. Just recommended to a colleague who would be staying with them in coming February. ##### Usman ### 4/10 Poor #### shimon alfassy 24 Aug 2012 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### few issues you need to resolve i had this hotel for overnight stay even the fact its far from airport (close to the fish ,market and grand bazar).the reason to do so was that in the website and in resevation i was promised free transfer back to the airport so it made it more economicly to me .when i arrived there, they told me that even i have it written, they will not suply it to me beacuse its a mistake !!! even it was written both on site (diferent ones) and also in resevation.room was nice but in 4 in the morning you get to hear the muazine calling and its not so nice (unless you muslim) ... ##### shimon alfassy ### 6/10 Okay #### Andy 7 Jun 2012 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Not a bad hotel, but... The May Hotel was clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. It's in a pretty good location for all the historical sights (about a 15min slow walk). The room was pretty small (especially the shower), but well maintained... breakfast was nothing special (cold selection, bread, stewed tea). The main issue is that the street it is on is pretty noisy (bring earplugs!) and that no taxis seemed to know where it was. Once you got your bearings however you didnt really need taxis to see most of the sights... ##### Andy ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 11 Dec 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### Gast 2 Jul 2014 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Gast ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Wyndham Grand Istanbul Kalamis Marina Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Wyndham-Grand-Istanbul-Kalamis-Marina-Hotel.h5484206.Hotel-Information) > > [Raffles Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Raffles-Istanbul.h8273536.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Istanbul Bosphorus](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Hilton-Istanbul-Bosphorus.h20867.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Istanbul Bomonti Hotel & Conference Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Hilton-Istanbul-Bomonti-Hotel-Conference-Center.h6226720.Hotel-Information) > > [Aprilis Deluxe Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Aprilis-Deluxe-Hotel.h75696459.Hotel-Information) > > [Address Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Address-Istanbul.h68277409.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at the Bosphorus](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Istanbul-At-The-Bosphorus.h1856092.Hotel-Information) > > [Royan Hotel Hagia Sophia Istanbul, A Member Of Radisson Individuals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Radisson-Hotel-Hagia-Sophia.h75283253.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hyatt Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Grand-Hyatt-Istanbul.h14428.Hotel-Information) > > [Occidental Taksim](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Occidental-Taksim.h1160507.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Istanbul Ataköy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Istanbul-Atakoy.h9127669.Hotel-Information) > > [Ramada Encore By Wyndham Istanbul Basin Express](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Ramada-Encore-By-Wyndham-Istanbul-Basin-Express.h38506356.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton.h565576.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Istanbul City Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Sheraton-Istanbul-City-Center.h38329865.Hotel-Information) > > [Sultanhan Hotel - Special Class](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Sultanhan-Hotel-Special-Class.h1388776.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Istanbul Florya by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Istanbul-Florya.h11628263.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel Istanbul Taksim](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Sofitel-Istanbul-Taksim.h42400472.Hotel-Information) > > [Barcelo Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Barcelo-Istanbul.h32516024.Hotel-Information) > > [Sura Design Hotel and Suites - Boutique Class](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Sura-Design-Hotel-And-Suites-Boutique-Class.h4658802.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Pera Suite Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Villa-Pera-Suite-Hotel.h6186661.Hotel-Information) > > [Conrad Istanbul Bosphorus](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Conrad-Istanbul-Bosphorus.h15234.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Quasar Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Fairmont-Quasar-Istanbul.h16385021.Hotel-Information) > > [The G Hotels Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Divan-Suites-Istanbul-G-Plus.h8768240.Hotel-Information) > > [Bram Hotel Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Bram-Hotel-Istanbul.h42006665.Hotel-Information) > > [Hagia Sofia Mansions Istanbul, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Hagia-Sofia-Mansions-Istanbul.h29743791.Hotel-Information) > > [Swissotel The Bosphorus Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Swissotel-The-Bosphorus-Istanbul.h889869.Hotel-Information) > > [Sura Hagia Sophia Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Sura-Hagia-Sophia-Hotel.h8046669.Hotel-Information) > > [Fer Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Fer-Hotel.h14626941.Hotel-Information) > > [Antea Palace Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Antea-Palace-Hotel-Spa.h200203.Hotel-Information) > > [The St. Regis Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-The-St-Regis-Istanbul.h9719651.Hotel-Information)
