The rooms were nice and clean but could do with some renovating. Walls were very thin so it got noisy at times from people in the halls and neighbouring rooms.

We booked a family suite 3months before arrival, for me my wife and 2 young daughters. When we arrived we were told there was no family suite so could have 2 separate rooms next door to each other. It wasn't ideal but we had no choice but to accept. I didn't get a clear answer as to whether there were no family suites or there were some but they had been double booked. After that our stay was fine. Breakfast is good, staff were friendly and the hotel was nice and clean and comfortable. Our kids especially enjoyed the small pool in the basement after hot days walking around the city sites. ##### Michael Stayed 5 nights in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 29 Jun 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort Excellent service, but the room smelt like cigarettes and there was mold in the shower. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heidi 23 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect city center location The hotel is right in the city center; walking distance to all sights; the boats and markets. Rooms are updated and nicely decorated. Breakfast contains lots of local dishes and plenty to choose from- it’s a little busy if you go towards the end though. The pool is quite unique and was completely empty when we went which was very nice and relaxing. The orient express theme everywhere makes it very nostalgic. Very friendly staff that also gives tips to local activities. The rooftop restaurant has a great view and is even great for bird watching ##### Heidi Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Donald 16 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The area is close to main attractions. Gloria jeans manager was welcoming. The guide supplied by the hotel, Murat, was fabulous. He was extremely knowledgeable and very kind as he stayed with us until the queues had lessened after 6 o’clock so that we could visit the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque even though we started at 10 am. ##### Donald Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 2 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Grest location and price Pleasantly surprised! Aftet reading some bad reviews I expected the worst. Yes, this hotel is on a tramline but it is an amazing location! Yes the taxi's cannot drop you out the front but the side streets are literally a 50mtr walk! The staff in reception were very helpful, the breakfast had a good variety, the room was very comfortable and clean, the indoor pool was lovely. In comparison to other hotels it was great value for money. Would definitely recommend based on location, price and comfort 👌 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Zubair 28 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness This hotel is outdated and in need of significant renovation. The bathroom towels are very old and nearly resemble cleaning rags. The sink in the bathroom was leaking, adding to the inconvenience. The reception staff have limited English proficiency, making communication difficult. The breakfast buffet offers the same traditional Turkish breakfast every day, with no alternative options available. Otherwise centrally located near all the major attractions within walking distance and plenty of restaurants around the hotel. ##### Zubair Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Frezya - Exclusively Woman](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Frezya-Hotel.h107306634.Hotel-Information) > > [Vogue Hotel Supreme Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Vogue-Hotel-Istanbul.h36840828.Hotel-Information) > > [Sura Hagia Sophia Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Sura-Hagia-Sophia-Hotel.h8046669.Hotel-Information) > > [THE OMIYA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-THEOMIYA.h89683120.Hotel-Information) > > [Nova Plaza Crystal Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Nova-Plaza-Crystal-Hotel.h114364.Hotel-Information) > > [Windsor Hotel & Convention Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Windsor-Hotel-Convention-Center-Istanbul.h72496995.Hotel-Information) > > [Mövenpick Hotel Istanbul Asia Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Movenpick-Istanbul-Sabiha-Gokca.h69357345.Hotel-Information) > > [Vialand Palace Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Isfanbul-Holiday-Home-Suites.h8451969.Hotel-Information) > > [Istanbul Marriott Hotel Pendik](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Istanbul-Marriott-Hotel-Pendik.h2974591.Hotel-Information) > > [Swissotel The Bosphorus Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Swissotel-The-Bosphorus-Istanbul.h889869.Hotel-Information) > > [Conrad Istanbul Bosphorus](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Conrad-Istanbul-Bosphorus.h15234.Hotel-Information) > > [Akka Suites Taksim](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Akka-Suite-Taksim.h39277606.Hotel-Information) > > [The Elysium Taksim](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-The-Elysium-Taksim.h11553986.Hotel-Information) > > [ Me by Mula ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Motto-By-Mula.h97514344.Hotel-Information) > > [No:12 Hotel Sultanahmet](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-No-12-Hotel-Sultanahmet.h68451430.Hotel-Information) > > [Bosphorus Palace Hotel - Special Class](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Bosphorus-Palace-Hotel-Special-Class.h528546.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunlight Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Sunlight-Hotel.h479507.Hotel-Information) > > [Kilyos Kale Otel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Kilyos-Kale-Otel.h31009504.Hotel-Information) > > [Gleam Bomonti Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Istanbull-Hotel-Spa-Bomonti.h36712019.Hotel-Information) > > [Taksim Landhouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Taksim-View-Hotel.h38918070.Hotel-Information) > > [The G Hotels Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Divan-Suites-Istanbul-G-Plus.h8768240.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta by Wyndham Istanbul Gunesli](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-ZENON-HOTEL.h39794717.Hotel-Information) > > [The Stay Bosphorus](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-The-Stay-Bosphorus.h4339523.Hotel-Information) > > [Tomtom Suites - Special Class](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Tomtom-Suites-Special-Class.h2647566.Hotel-Information) > > [Catch Sultanahmet - Special Class](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Catch-Hotel.h44565108.Hotel-Information) > > [AHC Ayasofya Hotel ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Pierre-Loti-Hotel-Special-Class.h531238.Hotel-Information) > > [Seven Hills Palace & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Seven-Hills-Palace-Hotel-Special-Class.h33786700.Hotel-Information) > > [Mayi Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Qua-Hotel.h11779565.Hotel-Information) > > [Büke Hotel Şişli](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Buke-Hotel.h19820371.Hotel-Information) ---
