Reviews
The breakfast is good, and the hotel staff are very friendly. The location is central, about a 10-minute walk from Şişli Mecidiyeköy subway station. There are several small kiosks and supermarkets nearby. I’d recommend this hotel for a business stay. Most of the guests were from Arab countries; unfortunately, some of them were extremely loud and often disrespectful toward both the staff and other guests.
Prime Location for Exploration
One of the hotel's biggest assets is its location. Situated in the bustling Şişli district, it offers immediate access to everything you need. The Şişli-Mecidiyeköy Metro Station is just a short walk away, providing effortless connections to popular areas like Taksim Square, Sultanahmet, and the business centers. For shopping enthusiasts, the massive Cevahir Shopping Mall is practically on the doorstep, and the high-end shops of Nisantasi are easily reachable.
Comfortable and Well-Appointed Rooms
The rooms themselves are a hallmark of the Holiday Inn brand: clean, functional, and exceptionally comfortable. The beds are a dream, ensuring a restful night's sleep after a day of sightseeing. I found the complimentary Wi-Fi to be fast and reliable, and the workspaces were ample for catching up on emails. While the design is contemporary and straightforward, the attention to cleanliness and the provision of essential amenities like tea/coffee facilities elevate the experience.
Exceptional Service and Amenities
What truly makes this hotel shine is the staff. From the reception desk to the restaurant servers, every interaction was marked by genuine friendliness and efficiency. They were quick to offer local advice and assistance, making me feel genuinely welcome.
The hotel’s amenities package is also strong. The health club and spa provide a great opportunity to unwind, particularly the indoor pool and Turkish bath. Dining at the on-site restaurant was a pleasure, offering a delicious range of international and traditional Turkish dishes, perfect for starting or ending the day.
He was incredibly helpful, kind, and generous, ensuring that all our needs were met promptly and with genuine care. Thanks to his outstanding service, our time at the hotel was smooth, comfortable, and enjoyable.
We are truly grateful for his hospitality and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Istanbul. We’ll definitely be staying here again!
The hotel standards should be 3-4 stars no way it’s 5 stars hotel
Only location on Main Street
Lobby is very small
Room and toilet very small
One highlight was the breakfast — served from 8:00 to 10:30 — with a wide variety of delicious options that made for a great start to the day. The location is also convenient, and the environment is quiet, which is a big plus.
If room size isn’t a big concern for you, I’d definitely recommend this place for a pleasant stay.
