I recently had the opportunity to stay at Hotel Maya, and I would like to share my experience. The hotel is ideally located for exploring the European side of Istanbul, particularly the historic monuments around Sultanahmet. This strategic location made it easy to immerse myself in the rich culture and history of the area.The staff at Hotel Maya were exceptionally friendly and accommodating. One of the standout features of the hotel is its 24-hour reception, which allowed me to check in at any hour after arriving from the airport. This flexibility was greatly appreciated after a long journey.However, while the hotel has many positives, there were some aspects that could use improvement. The room and furnishings felt a bit dated and worn. Upon my arrival, I noticed that the cleanliness of the room was not up to standard. The bathroom floor had some stains, and there was chocolate on the floor, likely left by previous guests.The cleaning staff posed a significant issue during my stay. Although breakfast was served from 7 to 10 AM, the cleaning began quite noisily at around 8 AM, which disrupted sleep for those who wished to rest longer. Moreover, there were several occasions when the cleaning staff did not clean the room at all. On a couple of instances, when the sheets were changed, the bed was not fully made, and I had to finish it myself. There were times when the bath mat was not provided, and I was left without toilet paper. On one occasion, I received an opened bottle of shampoo, which was likely used by a previous guest.Over the nine nights I spent at the hotel, the glass in my room was never washed or replaced, raising concerns about hygiene. Overall, the cleaning service fell short of the standards one would expect from a three-star hotel.On a more positive note, the breakfast offered a good variety and was plentiful. However, as someone who is lactose intolerant, I found the options somewhat limited due to the heavy presence of cheeses and dairy products.In summary, despite the cleaning issues, I had a pleasant stay at Hotel Maya. The friendly staff, great location, and decent breakfast made my experience enjoyable. I would consider returning and would recommend the hotel to others, with the caveat that they may want to address the housekeeping concerns.

I recently stayed at Hotel Maya, which is perfectly located for exploring the European side of Istanbul, especially the historic sites around Sultanahmet. The staff were exceptionally friendly and accommodating, and the 24-hour reception made check-in convenient after my arrival from the airport. However, there were several areas needing improvement. The room and furnishings felt dated, and upon arrival, I found the cleanliness lacking, with stains on the bathroom floor and chocolate on the carpet from previous guests. The cleaning staff were a significant concern. Despite breakfast being served from 7 to 10 AM, cleaning began noisily at around 8 AM, disrupting sleep. There were instances where the room was not cleaned at all, and on occasions when sheets were changed, the bed was not fully made. Additionally, I was left without toilet paper, and once received an opened bottle of shampoo. Over my nine-night stay, the glass in my room was never washed or replaced, raising hygiene concerns. On a positive note, the breakfast was varied and plentiful, though as someone lactose intolerant, I found the options limited due to the abundance of dairy.
Despite the cleaning issues, I enjoyed my stay at Hotel Maya. The friendly staff, great location, and decent breakfast made for a pleasant experience, though I would recommend addressing the housekeeping concerns.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The place is clean, cozy, and the service was excellent throughout my stay. Everyone was polite and helpful, especially Şefika Hanım ,
she was incredibly kind and professional, and made me feel truly welcomed. I’d definitely come back and highly recommend it to others. Thank you for the great hospitality

Nice staff, the room in which I stayed was good, the best was just bad, felt like i was sleeping on stone. The management should do better.

The hotel is, to put it mildly, very tired. Only the entrance area is tidied up. The lobby is very cozy and beautiful. Our room was by the elevator on the 3rd floor. Right there, under our door, were trash bins (small) and a designated smoking area. This was a gathering place for service personnel and those wishing to smoke. From early morning, there was a strong smell of smoke in the room. Of course, you won’t be able to sleep because of the noise from the corridor. Everything in the room is old. The air conditioner is sealed with tape in several places. The bathroom hasn’t been renovated for at least 15 years. Old shower stall, plumbing, minimal amenities. There is a lot of dust in the room. There are only one socket in the extension cord behind the refrigerator. I would like to say a few words about the cleaning. There wasn’t any at all. The cleaning lady came into the room on the second day, when we had just spent the night. The trash was not taken out for four days. Then we took it out ourselves. The towels were not changed. The only good things about the hotel are the location and the breakfasts.

I absolutely loved staying here. The hotel is aesthetically pleasing. The lighting in the lobby is really wonderfully relaxing, and is deaigned very well. That first impression allows the stress of travel to recind. There is lift. I found my room spacious and very plesant. The positioning of the hotel meant rhe sun shone in each day, which was glorious. (The curtains are thick enough to block out the sun if it gets too much.) I've seen people comment on the bathroom being small. I didn't think so, but I guess it depends on your size and build.. The shower is large and clean and works properly, The room has a minibar but no kettle. Water is replenished whenever the cleaner comes which is everyday unless you request No housecleaning.
Breakfast is buffet style, with efficient and attentive staff. I found the staff just wonderful, helping with my suitcase but any other problems. I felt well taken care of and rested well here. I really loved the massage chair in the lobby, its so good after a hard day of walking around. I extended my stay and to be truthful probably would have stayed there longer, but had to go. I would highly recommend.

I spent six nights here. It's a nice place for the price, but the shower tub is too small if you’re a tall person.
