The staff is friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and modern - however, I would definitely pay a little bit extra and book a spacier standard room rather than the economy room (which is pretty much just a bed and bathroom). Lots of options for coffee and restaurants (though the famous dining area running parallel to the hotel street is almost entirely Turkish food...which is awesome, until you start craving variety after a few days). I do think the hotel is a bit too dimly lit, but that is the chosen vibe of the hotel. Finally, the woman working the front desk is very friendly and cute :) ##### proceso Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Craig 15 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### The best Root in Istanbul The check in staff were very professional and helpful to us with all our requirements.

Service was good, but there was too much of an effort by staff to recommend bookings for hamam, dining and the like.

The lobby hotel and other spaces look exactly as pictured and considere them very pretty!! the front desk service considered mediocre, as tourist non turkish language knowledge, asked some help asking one of the guys to talk to a company by phone which we needed some info, and didn´t show any urge or act of interest in helping us. Also, we where kind of lost trying to get to the hotel (walking) cause we didn't have a sim card at the moment to ask for a grab or uber and it was impossible to get there walking with bags due to the wrong info in description about the walking distance time. so.. more less the place was more than great, but would not stay again because of the average service. ##### lucia Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Roger 18 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good place to stay! Friendly staff. Had to make a couple calls to the desk for items that should have been in the room. They left the amenities a mystery we had to figure out as we went. Other than that it was nice! ##### Roger Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### elviro 24 Nov 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities No hot water, soiled bed sheet, bracken coffee maker no air conditioning room was very hot i complained that the ac didn't work they told me to open the very small window.ithe only good thing was the breakfast. And the location ##### elviro Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Malek 11 Sept 2022 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff at the check in not professional and needs to be friendly ##### Malek Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Fareen 5 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Immediately upon arrival, the toilet malfunctioned. I was there for three days and there was no fix. But what’s worse is they did not give me a discount. Disappointing. The breakfast was amazing. Room was great otherwise. Amazing location. ##### Fareen ### 8/10 Good #### john 21 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good location and close to attractions and tram. The Wifi is very slow and almost not workable so I have to use my cell data to connect to the internet. Also the taxi the hotel booked for me overcharged me to the airport. When I booked the taxi the front desk told me the charge will be a flat rate at 750 Lira (about $26) but when the driver dropped me off at the airport he asked for $35. I had to catch the flight and had no choice but paid him money. that is not honest and the hotel should not hire the taxi company. ##### john Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Elsie 22 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Uncomfortable Room is super small. My friend paid for the exact same room $105, but I was charged $192. This made me very angry. On top of that the room was freezing and they could not control the air conditioner. Very small room to walk. Bathroom super small and uncomfortable. They didn't even had a transformer. Definitely paid too much for this hotel I feel robbed. ##### Elsie Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ## 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)
