Beethoven Hotel - Special Category

Istanbul is a very large city, so the location, while not super close to the attractions, was convenient to public transport. The hotel itself was clean and well fitted out and the staff were helpful. I particularly want to give a big thanks to the daytime Manager who always went out of his way to help! We stayed for a week, coming in and out with other overnight trips and were always welcomed back kindly. It’s good value for money. The cleaning staff were also lovely and very helpful.

There were a few glitches around our booking and it was difficult to communicate, with many of the staff having limited English and me having no Turkish! But we got there in the end. I found the beds to be too soft and the bathroom facilities a little poor (shower kept flooding the floor and in my parents room it was near impossible to get into the shower cos it was wedged between the basin and toilet with doors that open out). It’s fairly noisy at night with many bars and restaurants in the area staying open late and the additional facilities in the hotel are fairly limited and outdated. Overall it was a good stay though and I would recommend this place as a moderately priced downtown hotel.
