Thank you

I stayed for 21 days. It's a very clean corporate hotel. In particular, Mercan and Ozkan, who are on the staff, were very helpful with their dedication and smiles. I also wanted to thank you here.

Nice place and location

24.02.2026 Guest

The location is quiet despite being in a busy area, and the service is excellent.

had a great stay at this hotel. The location is excellent, the room was clean and comfortable, and everything was well organized.
Special thanks to Gokhan at the reception desk for his professionalism, kindness, and helpful attitude. He made the check-in process smooth and made us feel very welcome.
I would definitely recommend this hotel and would be happy to stay here again.

The hotel tries really hard. The room was clean but small. We were on the first floor. Maybe try to get a higher floor. Don’t plan on sleeping though people are slamming doors all night. Kids were running wild on our floor during the night ringing door bells. Parents had no control over the kids until about 10. Yes, I called front desk but no English. I don’t really complain but need to.

DO NOT BOOK HERE IF YOU DON’T WANT TO RUIN YOUR TRIP. First of all, the AC does not work. All the receptionists are extremely rude and there is a complete lack of customer service. The breakfast room offers poor-quality food, and even the plates are dirty. Be Careful There is major construction happening right beside the hotel, making the rooms noisy and dusty. The staff constantly tries to charge you for everything. They won’t allow you to use the swimming pool unless you pay 400 Lira to “buy” a swimming cap. The rooms are very dirty as well.

We stayed at this hotel in November 2025.

Positives:
Very good location
Modern interior design
Spacious, renovated, and clean room
Large and comfortable bed

Negatives:
Very rude reception staff
poor breakfast
Noise from neighboring rooms
Weak Wi-Fi

I also stayed at this hotel last year, but the service quality has significantly declined. I had to call the reception five times just to get a bottle of water, and it definitely won’t be my choice in the future.

Review – Nippon Hotel, Istanbul
I stayed at Nippon Hotel during the end of the year and New Year period. The hotel was fully booked, including many families, yet the overall experience was very good.
The service was excellent, the room was clean, spacious, and comfortable, and it fully matched my expectations. Housekeeping and staff support were professional and responsive.
Breakfast offered a good variety of options, and if something was not available, the staff were willing to accommodate special requests, which was appreciated.
The location of the hotel is also very convenient, with easy access to exchange offices, supermarkets, restaurants, and shisha cafés. Overall, it was a pleasant and comfortable stay.
I wish the hotel continued success.

On the first night, I complained to the hotel because I couldn’t sleep due to the heat (in winter time), I was tired then. They were unable to fix the air conditioner, and next morning I asked to change rooms. They moved us to another room that is smaller, for four people, but with better air conditioning. This means I paid for a Family Deluxe room of 35 m² but had to stay in a room of about 20 m². This experience is bad.

I have stayed at three other hotels in Turkey during this trip, and all of them were good. Only Nippon Hotel made my holiday incomplete. I really regret choosing Nippon Hotel; if I had read other guests’ reviews on Google more carefully, I would not have made this booking.

14.12.2025 Fahad

I had a very pleasant stay at the hotel. The property is very clean, and the staff are friendly, welcoming, and consistently helpful. I appreciated the thoughtful touches such as the welcoming fruit plates and Turkish delights, which made the stay feel even more personalized.

The breakfast was fair, with a reasonable selection. One of the strongest aspects of the stay was the team at the reception; they were always attentive, responding to guest requests promptly and professionally.

Overall, a comfortable stay with great service and good hospitality. I would happily consider returning.

02.12.2025 Genti

Good service overall. In the rooms, the wardrobes are very small. If you plan to go with small children, you won’t be able to enter or exit with a stroller, which really annoyed me. The hotel doesn’t have parking. Breakfast is moderately good.

09.11.2025 Mordred

Edit 1: the issue is solved after a long discussion back and forth with the hotel and Booking.com.
Thanks to Nancy from the reception she is so helpful and collaborative! Without her the issue was not solved.

I just arrived today at 2 PM, and the room was extremely hot. I asked the reception to check the air conditioning, and they told me it was fixed. I trusted them and went out for the day. When I came back around 10 PM, the room was even hotter!

I called the reception again (different shift this time), and the person told me there’s no cold air, only heating, because the entire building uses central AC. Seriously? Every guest has to accept the same temperature? What if someone wants a cooler room? This makes absolutely no sense.

I told him that if they cannot provide cold air, then please refund my money so I can move to another hotel. He told me to contact Booking.com. I did, and Booking informed me that the hotel just needs to send a confirmation email to approve a refund. However, the reception refused, saying that only the reservation team can do that — and they don’t work on weekends! So now I have to wait until Monday, meaning I’m forced to spend two nights in a room at 29°C!

This is completely unacceptable. Poor management, poor communication, and zero care for guests’ comfort. I am stuck here suffering because of their unprofessional system.

Avoid this hotel unless you enjoy sleeping in a sauna!
