Ipekyolu Hotel in Istanbul

Shaheen was super helpful (as was the night manager- forgot his name). We go good recommendations for stuff to do, and everything went smoothly.

The rooms were clean and nice. The staff was very friendly and kind and accommodating. I’ll definitely be staying here again.

Staff is very welcoming and helpful. Room was spacious and clean. Breakfast was amazing! Airport shuttle was reliable

I happened to choose a beach view room, but it turned out I was given a view of the Asian continent and the tram station. The room was on the third floor, and it turned out there was an elevator.

Initially booked for 2 nights. Nice little hotel, friendly staff, clean rooms. Our flight got cancelled and the hotel was able to extended our stay 1 more night. Prepaid taxi service to IST was really nice: right on time, and the rate was actually lower compare to what Bitaksi app showed. A couple small restaurants right next door.

The hotel is located in the heart of the old city with less than a 5 minute walk up a small hill to the Hagia Sophia and the Topkapi Palace. It is located next to a Korean Restaurant and on the other side the building has been torn down so that makes the front look a bit unsightly. The manager (his name is Sahin) was wonderful and extremely helpful. The included breakfast was good with some seasonal offerings. The hotel has an elevator that works great (although it is small). The room was clean. They had a single small blanket to cover with but that was more than adequate and the AC worked fine. It is not a five star hotel and maybe not even a 4 but I rated it high because of Sahin and the location and the price. I would not hesitate to stay here again. For those looking for an affordable but nice option close to the old city. It is also a very short walk to the water and there is a tram stop just across the street. the only complaint might be the bathroom as the shower water drained very slowly and there is a lip to step up and over to get to the bathroom and it was easy to trip over especially at night. The room had a safe and a refrigerator. There was also a TV in the room which we couldn't figure out how to make it work (I think the remote batteries were dead) but we weren't interested in watching TV with so much history around us. I see in the photo there is a balcony you can look out on the water but we never accessed that or were told whether we could.

Very nice, cozy, clean, small hotel. Perfect location and friendly staff.

Perfect location just 5 minutes from Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and the Cistern. Very quiet and comfortable. The staff were very attentive and friendly.

Really nice hotel, great service and very nice breakfast, *************. The people were vey helpful and speak English too. We really enjoyed staying here. I highly recommend this hotel.

The Ipekyolu Hotel was a budget choice and as such, it fit the bill. Nothing fancy, but comfortable and very conveniently located. The staff couldn’t have been nicer! We loved our time in Istanbul and would love to return.
