Horrible and negative welcome by receptionist. We got a better room but it was very dirty. The hotel looked more like a 3 stars than 5 stars. We feel sorry for the people who paid full prices on their website as it's really not worth it. The breakfast buffet was terrible too - small space and it felt like the grand bazar just to grab food. However, the cleaning and restaurant staff were very nice. In a nutshell, this was the worst 5 stars hotel we experienced!

This morning during check-out, the front desk staff asked how we planned to get to the airport. We mentioned taking an Uber, but the staff member suggested arranging a hotel taxi instead, assuring us it would be the same price and much safer. We agreed to this.
However, the experience was extremely concerning. The yellow taxi (number 34 TFH 39) arrived, and as soon as we boarded, we noticed the driver’s seat was pushed far back, leaving my son with almost no legroom. Despite politely asking the driver to adjust the seat, he refused.
Throughout the 45-minute journey, the driver drove recklessly — maintaining speeds of around 120 km/h even when there was no traffic. He was smoking in the car, playing loud music, and even watching music videos while driving. When I asked him to slow down, he responded rudely, saying, “I’m a professional, I know — be quiet.” His behaviour made us feel unsafe and anxious, and it genuinely seemed as though he might have been under the influence of something.
This was one of the most stressful taxi rides we’ve ever had. I’m very surprised that the hotel would describe their taxis as “safe.” Based on our experience, this was far from it — in fact, Uber would have been a much safer option.
Although our stay at the hotel itself was pleasant, this taxi experience has left us deeply disappointed and shaken. I hope the management will look into this matter seriously to prevent it from happening to other guests.

I had a wonderful stay at Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Sultanahmet. The hotel is very clean, comfortable, and well-located — close to many historical places. The staff are exceptionally kind, professional, and always ready to help with a smile. Their hospitality made me feel truly welcome. Special thanks to all the team for their great service and warm attitude. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Istanbul!

This hotel is extremely good value for money, and a convenient low-grade premium hotel to stay while in Istanbul. The service from the front desk staff was consistently helpful and friendly, and I appreciated the surprisingly generous and expansive buffet options at breakfast (included in my room rate). The only negative was a constant rumbling noise from an air vent in the room, but foam ear plugs took care of that - apart from this, the room was spacious enough and well equipped, with further amenities available on request.

My boyfriend wanted to surprise me after stress circumstances that I had by booking 5 stars hotel. The air conditioning didn’t work, and the room was extremely hot we couldn’t sleep well for two nights. On the third day, they finally fixed it, but after two more days it started leaking water with smoke❗️We reported it to the reception twice in the morning and once at night, and the staff member named Ugoz said he would send a technician, but no one came even after two hours ( that was at night). We had to sleep in the boiling room again. When we tried opening the window, mosquitoes came in.👎🏻 In addition, there was spider web in the upper corner of the wall and spider was crawling on the wall.
The bed was uneven 🛏️ one side higher than the other and we both woke up with back pain. The spa was another disappointment: the place smelled heavy of cigarettes, there was mold on the ceiling, and hair everywhere on the floor. The therapist clearly wasn’t professional she was african, and her body odor made the experience worse.
Breakfast was the only good thing, but even then, we saw a very unprofessional scene, a kitchen staff member shouting right in front of the guests at a buffet employee lady just because she politely said to him they were out of eggs. Also, when you order Orange juice which is extra, they bring the payment machine to your table during your meal instead of adding it to the bill at the end, very unpleasant.
Reception staff were rude, even with group guests. Unfortunately, after booking, we read other bad reviews and realized it was a mistake.
The fifth floor smelled like kitchen ( cooking smell) , there was staines on the towels and bed sheets. There were no basic bathroom amenities — no toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, or cotton buds. As 5 stars hotel these things should be provided.
The outdoor restaurant was awful in terms of food and music was too loud that you cannot chat with anyone and our main dish arrived after 45 minutes!
My partner felt really embarrassed because of this experience and he felt sorry that I didn’t feel comfortable for this hotel.
Honestly, it’s my first and last time here. I’ve stayed in 3-star hotels that were much cleaner, more comfortable, and far more professional than this hotel. Even something as simple as an umbrella for the rain, they didn’t have one.

If you're looking for a 1 star hotel with the price & promise of a 5 star you'll be booking at the right place. The mouldy and broken showers are simply gorgeous. Majority of the leaky noisy AC's are taped together with duct tape which makes for fine abstract art.If you'd like to lose weight then please pay for breakfast - you'll be greeted with a host of random raw ingredients each morning, if you wish to have something edible like an omelet you have to pay an extra 3 euros despite already paying the standard breakfast fee. Management and services are basically non-existent which really helps when you want to waste time bringing your own bags in and teaching staff how to check for your booking. All in all, truly loved the experience of wasting my hard earned money at this scam establishment.

A great family hotel. It was very clean and conveniently located very close to the city center. The breakfast was excellent, and the pool was good for a swim.
