We loved everything! The hotel has a convenient location, a spacious room, and delicious breakfasts. We'll definitely be back again.

Overall, I liked the hotel. It was clean and cozy, with a beautiful, spacious lobby. The room was a bit old-fashioned but very roomy. The breakfasts were excellent; even though it seemed like the same items were always available, there was still plenty to choose from, with 1-2 items changing daily. The administrator I encountered was very caring and polite. My only confusion was whether there was air conditioning in the room; it was a bit cold for me, and I couldn't seem to warm up. It would also be nice to add a shoehorn to the room.

Quite good

The staff were very friendly, and the place was cleaned daily whenever needed. The rooms had central heating and air conditioning, making it very comfortable. The breakfast was also delicious, but I overheard the older women in the restaurant speaking foreign languages; they assumed I didn't understand their language.

This hotel is old. The elevator wasn't working. The breakfast room is small and often full, leaving no space. The room itself smelled of old wood and sewage. The front desk staff were also very unfriendly.

In November 2025, when the temperature outside was 18°C ​​(64°F), the air conditioning didn't work—or rather, it blew hot air! They have an old air conditioning system, shared by the building. If you open the window, it's very noisy! At night, large tourist buses park outside, rattling all night. And someone constantly smokes outside under the windows. The bathroom is a bit dirty; someone left a diaper and pads in the bathroom cabinet, and it's not cleaned! There's mold on the ceiling panels in the hallway. The breakfast is very weak. The hotel didn't have a corkscrew. And they carried an iron for over an hour, and it never arrived... But the situation is not bad. Overall, I wouldn't recommend it.

The hotel is very well located; everything is within walking distance, including the metro and bus. Cleanliness leaves much to be desired. I only had the room cleaned once during our four-day stay because it looked less hygienic afterward.

Breakfast is standard fare: cheese, olives, boiled eggs, and spreads. The coffee was too weak for my liking. The restaurant looked even less hygienic. The tables were poorly cleaned. But you can certainly get enough to eat!

The rooms were okay, but very noisy. I constantly heard the neighbors coughing.

For four days, though, it was alright for the price. We were only there to sleep. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Great value for the price.

This hotel offers excellent value for money. It's located just 7–8 minutes from the nearest metro. It’s clean, quiet, and the staff are friendly. While not modern or stylish, it has everything a traveler needs.

I arrived at 7am and was offered early check-in and a room with a larger bed than I booked — a nice touch. The breakfast was decent — nothing fancy, but there was a good variety and plenty of food. The only thing I would suggest improving is the quality of the coffee.

Overall, a very good stay for under €30

Comfortable and Safe Single Accommodation 🌟 I stayed alone, and everything was perfect. The room was spotless, and the staff were incredibly attentive and friendly. The hotel's location is right in the heart of Laleli, making it easy to get around. I felt both safe and comfortable. I highly recommend it, whether for a single person or a family—Buyuk Levent Hotel is fantastic in every way!
