Istanbul Hotels

Location

Rooms were too hot!! Airco was only able to heat-up the room, no cooling, with a temperature between 24-27, extremely warm and not good to have a good night sleep

Close to airport and free shuttle. Nice and modern.

Breakfast was awful. They charged us $50 for a buffet-style breakfast. My husband had some eggs and I had a bowl of fruit--that's it. We thought it was just included in the hotel fare until they gave us the bill, but it was too late to do anything about it.

Great view! Exelent location with amazing rooftop and coctails , central ... great choice best view than the galata tower

Gym too small

5 of 5 starsReviewed 1 week ago Our trip in Istanbul was for 6 days, and the idea was to find a hotel with an outdoor pool, to be able to get away from the hustle & bustle and chill out every once in a while. I’ve found that most hotels with pool have indoor pools and Hamam's....which is nice… of course... but in the summer heat, an outdoor pool is more what we need... Some of the high end expensive Hotels seem to have it but we didn't want to spend hundreds of $$$ per night... Anyway, I’ve found and booked the Marmara Pera and wasn't totally sure what to expect. Here our impressions: Perfect location in an upscale neighborhood, 1 minute from the famous walking street Istiklal, between Taksim square and Galata Tower. The building is the tallest on that hill and it gets you the most stunning views without any obstructions whatsoever. We stayed in room 901 and had a fantastic view over the city and river. Best of all was the sunset because the sun would go down right in the center of the window...absolutely beautfiful. The pool on the roof is not big but it doesn't matter because you are overlooking Bosporus river, the old town, the blue mosque, the whole shebang. You can overlook all directions from the Rooftop and again, you are on the tallest building around, so no obstructions. Very friendly & English speaking staff, easy check in Nice Amenities in the room Power outlets that keep charging your devices even when not in the room and key card removed from the main power switch. Our local friend mentioned that the restaurant on the Rooftop is excellent but we never actually ate there. Not sure if the hotel prices were lowered because it happened to be Ramadan or maybe because tourists bought into the terror scare that is rampant ever since 9/11 and stayed away... but we've only paid $80 per night for that room with the sunset view. Btw, there is a metal detector and 24h security at the entrance. I've visited Istanbul before and I think having a view and a central location is really making all the difference. I will come back here and stay in this very hotel. One last thing: download the App called BiTaksi and link it with your credit card. It's like UBER but it's what the locals use over here. I started already at the airport and never waited more than 4 minutes for a Taxi. This way, we’ve never had to hackle for price, got rejected because of the destination, or worse...got scammed when paying in cash... and believe me.... Taxi stories were my worst experience on my previous trips to Istanbul. Love Istanbul, don't get discouraged, help yourself, use technology and Apps to make the most of your trip. Stay open minded, be friendly, stay cool and you will get great things in return.

Nothing at all!

The location. Its located in downtown Istanbul.

Hat disappeared from the room. Took over an hour and a half to do check in. They tried to include a breakfast package that I never hired.

the location is brilliant

The bed and pillow were very uncomfortable. It was impossible to sleep especially on the side that faces the square because it was too noisy. Windows were not thick enough. I was charged immediately after I made my reservation, contrary to the rules.

Best value in the area, close to everything

My room was without window. The cooling system was not workimg due to season. The result i did not need to go spa, my room was more hot than a hamam.

Very good breakfast. 24 hour front desk, and location was among the best features. Just beneath the Hippodrome. In fact one of its oldest walls was outside our window. Blue Mosque a short walk away.

Only true issue we had was the Mosque call to prayers at like 3am and perhaps 6, which you'll likely hear anywhere in the cities of Turkey. You do learn to live with it.

The breakfast was amazing! The friendly staff always had good advice on what to do in the area. The location was great. I can't say enough positive things about this place. A good home base for your stay in Istanbul!

Nothing I can think of.

staff were helpful

location is right on the main street. noisy at night

It is near all historic monuments,tram,Bosfor

hotel staff

the staff was very nice and friendly, perfect location-close to monuments and yet quite environment, stunning view from the breakfast terrace, romantic design of the hotel, tasty breakfast

the coffee could be better, and i would prefer a bathtub instead of a shower

The seaview from the top floor resturant was amazingly beautiful. Free WIFI. Most famous attractions in Istanbul are in 10 minutes by walk. A small Bazzar with free musical and dance also can be found nearby. friendly host who suggested good place to eat and arranged nice enjoyable tours in Istanbul and a 4 days tours in other places in Turkey for us, which were all cheapest deals after asking many other travel agents.

No lift (or I didn't find one) in the hotel although they helped us carry bags. The resturant is on the 4th or 5th floor so that has good seaview however may not suitable for someone doesn't like walk.

It is absolutely very clean and very close to Sultanahmet. Staff is also very helpfull. I strongly recommend the hotel.

Poor breakfast, very noisy location, no parking for the second car (we are 4 persons in 2 cars and we reserved 2 parking places).

This hotel with very friendly staff and good location.

Old sanitaryware

The double room I stayed in was tastefully decorated and modern and yet still had old world charm and specific decor to that culture. I would definitely stay there again.

We liked everything at this hotel. The quality of service is excellent; the rooms are cozy, and well arranged. The service is one of the best I have experienced. Definitely will come back and recommend.

Friendly staff. Location was okay but the traffic to the hotel was not allowed. I have walked 5 minutes to the hotel. They sent a guy to help me.

Room was too tiny. Small. Bad design. You have to take 10 steps down from the door to the bed. It looked like a grave.

Excellent location for visiting the main attractions, right next to Hagia Sophia. Friendly staff and decent breakfast

Room was pretty small.

Rooms were nicely decorated and had many automated features.

NOISE level was unbearable, I couldn't sleep all night due to SUPER LOUD music followed by a fight right outside my window. I ended up going to sleep around 6:00am. TV was nicely mounted on the wall, but hidden behind glass which made it unviewable; also TV size is too small for the room size, can't really see much from the bed. No breakfast facility on location.

The W Istanbul is centrally located on the European side in Istanbul, with several shops and restaurants just around the corner, Nisantasi is also a short 10 minute walk away (exquisite shopping). Vogue, a rooftop restaurant and bar, is also a short 2 minute walk away. The hotel is clean, trendy and very comfortable. The staff is very helpful and service was excellent (sans the mini-bar items that I never used finding their way onto my check-out bill, which the staff swiftly removed). Would highly recommend the hotel to any solo travelers or couples.

I would have liked for there to have been a salon and for the gym to have offered yoga classes (or any other sort of fitness class).

The hotel is very good located and is very quiet.

Nothing

The location was perfect for visiting the old town tourist area. The hotel was a very good standard and the staff were always friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and well decorated. The roof terrace bar had great views of the blue mosque and the sea.

The restaurant was rather small for the numbers of people coming in for breakfast and you often had to wait for a table. There were no sea view rooms with double beds, these rooms had 2 single beds. We wanted double bed - hotel were happy to change this.

close to the historical sites

The location and also the breakfast.

Our room was the cheapest one, so be ready to stay next to the elevator and no view at all since there's another house next to the window.

لا شي

إزعاج شديد من الترام لا يوجد عوازل بين الغرف خدمه سيء من عمال النظافه في الغرف إفطار غير متنوع لم يعجني شي لا أنصح به أبد

Location is great: all sightseeings within walking distance. Rooms are OK. Staff is extremely nice, but they know about hotel reviews on Internet and ask you to give them a good review.

You will get no sleep in Istanbul. It's not the hotel's fault, but there are big speakers right in front of it. At 4.45 am every night there were very loud calls for prayers from the nearby mosques. Every hotel in the old town will have this problem. Also the traffic is loud. The curtains did not close, so light came in every morning 6.00 am.

We booked online and quickly realised we had booked for the wrong month, drop down menu reset itself, contacted Kayak straight away who contacted the hotel, but they would change the dates! And yes they kept our money. Disappointed.

Well located.

The service was terrible and we left the hotel after one day. When we checked in we were assigned to a back building on the third floor by stairs.Problems found: AC was not working and the night was really cold, the courtains where transparent and we couldn t sleep, there is a lot of noise at night as there is a trush dump at the back of the hotel, the light went of three times at least and there is no back up generator, the cable was just porn which is "very nice" when your kidds turn on the TV. Hotel manager was rude and disrespectful.

First class from the moment we walked through the door! Any and all requests that we had were immediately fulfilled. The staff working at the hotel are top notch. Since we arrived early our room was not ready, but we were shown two other rooms and chose the second. Great attention to detail from the free Turkish Delight placed in the center of the enormous bed to the hand written note "to our special guests." A wonderful place run by wonderful people with both taste and talent. We did not feel like a number at Sirkeci Konak but rather were given individual attention. Ezgi Kepsutlu gave us special time in laying out the details of how to get to where we wanted to go and answered other questions that we had. We will return!

The Excellent staff attention. At every turn they went out of the way to be helpful.

The billing charges from Booking.com were not clearly stated to us by booking.com so there were unexpected charges at the end.

The hotel is perfect located in Sultan Ahmad area, near blu mosque and all sight seeing area in European side in Istanbul. Clean hotel with Ok breakfast. Helpful personal.

Clean,good locatıon,frıendly staff, free ınternet

We stayed 4 nights at celal sultan hotel & it was great time there, everything is so close by the hotel, just within walking distance like Blue Mosque, Sophia Hagia & most of museum .

a bit hard to find , always use google .

Great location. Staff super helpful. Rooms are pretty small though. Beds are also a little hard. Great place for the $$.

The location of hotel is wonderful, good breakfasts. Clean rooms. Good price with booking.com.

Rooms are very small, stuff was not informed about working time of museums and fairy boat timetable.

Great location, fast check in and check out, very good price.

The Wi-Fi did not work while I stayed there. I was told there was probably an ID mismatch, but it was clear that the Wi-Fi was just down and it did not ask for user ID and password as it should have. Luckily there are pubs and cafes that offer Wi-Fi around, so I used my laptop outside the hotel.

the service staff was very friendly. the breakfast buffet, although traditional turkish breakfast, had plenty of variety and we thought it was good. We did not use any of the other hotel services since we were out sight seeing each day. The hotel was about a 10 minute walk to the metro that got you anywhere in the city you wanted to go. Not sure where to put this, but the hotel is better known locally as Hotel Berr. Tulip Inn confused some of the taxi drivers at the ferry.

We went to the bar the first evening and when we paid, I placed Turkish Lira on the bar, they really wanted Euro, so we did a currency exchange on the spot and I received Euro as change. Also, the last night there, there was a party on a floor above us that was very noisy at times - tough when you have a 3AM wake up call

I enjoyed the comfort of having private parking place.

The hotel was very comfortable, the staff was always available to help book trips and answer questions. The breakfast was varied and good quality. But the staff made the hotel better than simply a quiet room to relax in.

Poor internet in the rooms, difficulty connecting to internet despite the staff providing numerous passwords

Good hotel, good location not far from Agia Sophia.

close to attractive area

small elevator

location very good, in the heart of Istanbul

AC was not working during our stay , rooms too small

I Like the style of room in Germir Palas and breakfast. the food for brakfast are very fresh. Also tea is great.

There was no problem during my staying.

Staff were courteous, decor was great, hotel has a warm cosy feel to it

Breakfast room - bit lacking in atmosphere.

Location was fabulous. Breakfast on rooftop has amazing views.

Hard beds. Noise from construction next door.

We stayed at Tan Hotel for 3 days. The staff was extremely helpful and very polite. The hotel architecture is superb, especially the terrace restaurant where we had breakfast and could see the view of all of dowtown Istanbul. Overall it was a great experience and this hotel made it all the more better! We highly recommend it and would stay here again!

Perfect value for money... 5 star services, combined with reasonable pricing... Excellent location - close to everywhere thanks to city train station across the street. Very rich and diverse breakfast. Accessible by train, metro, all kinds of buses, taxi, etc. Carrefure supermarket just 100m away Friendly staff... What we liked most is a small (tiny) private balcony on our 5th floor room. Very romantic, sitting outside and watching sunset over 1600 years old city walls of Constantinople / Istanbul.

Nothing comes to mind. We liked all!

i think massagors are not enough there.

everything was good

Offers a good value for money. Facilities are basic - a small sized double room with a bed for two, a wardrobe, a small attached toilet, small TV which didn't seem to work, a small side table and thats it. The location is the best part. Its 5 min walk from the Sultanahment mosque and thus the mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi palace are all at 5 min walk. Eminonu, Bosphorus and Sirkeci are 10 min walk. Its located in a street so a bit away from traffic noise. The staff does speak basic English and are quite helpful.

None of the staff members bother to help me pick up luggage from the car to the room and back to car. Stood watching me carrying 3 bags.

sightseeings like bluemosque are allround the hostel..not so long ways to travel...i recommend this hostel to other travellers

everything was perfect..i am satisfied
