Reviews
Negatives: The hotel is located in an industrial area, not much to explore around. The SPA practically consists only of two saunas (separate for men and women), hammam and changing rooms, which are also used by the hotel staff. There were no bathrobes in the room, so we had to ask several times both the lobby staff and the SPA reception staff before we got them. During peak hours, the main reception appears understaffed, resulting in slower service than expected for a five-star hotel.
A special thanks to Elif and Barış for their outstanding service they were both incredibly friendly, professional, and attentive throughout my stay. They truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect.
I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Istanbul.
excellent staff, great location, and superb hospitality. I’ll definitely be coming back!
Tung went above and beyond to make sure I felt welcome and well taken care of throughout my stay. His kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail made a real difference.
Thank you for the outstanding service and care. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Istanbul!
From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to ensure my stay was nothing short of perfect. Everyone I encountered was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. A special mention must go to Suat at the front desk, who was absolutely incredible—professional, patient, and sincerely helpful. I had accidentally booked the wrong dates on a nonrefundable reservation, but thanks to Suat and the hotel team, not only was I able to get a refund, they also secured the correct dates for me. That level of service is rare and truly unforgettable.
The hotel itself is outstanding. The facilities are modern, spotlessly clean, and very well-maintained, making it a pleasure to relax and unwind. The bell boys were also extremely helpful, especially in handling and holding our luggage with such care, which made the whole experience seamless and stress-free.
Overall, Lionel Hotel Istanbul exceeded every expectation. With excellent facilities, first-class service, and a team that genuinely cares about its guests, I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. If you are visiting Istanbul and want a stay that combines comfort, professionalism, and exceptional hospitality, this is the place to book.
