Where to stay in Istanbul

This hotel is a converted factory building. The room was small, and there was a lot of noisy foot traffic around. The bar noise went on late into the night.

Exceptional service from the very first moments of welcome until the last moments of our stay. My thanks go to all the staff who were so attentive: the managers, all the staff at reception, room service, massage, restaurant, welcome... and I'm sure I'm forgetting some. Such professionalism and a constant desire to do well and to do even better. I sincerely hope to return soon. The room was better...

The room's view? I'd rate it a zero. There's no view at all, the windows are tiny, and no light gets in because it looks out onto a dark wall.

The hotel's location is decent, but it's not right on the strait; it's behind the Peninsula Hotel, so you don't get a sea view. The rooms are average, and the soundproofing isn't great.

Great location, and while the room was a bit small, it was perfectly adequate for a solo traveler.

Great location and the front desk staff were incredibly warm and friendly.

our stay was good. the front desk staff were great. our room was quite large and the shower was excellent. however breakfast was a big let down, very very basic. wer will stay again, but will give breakfast a miss

Stayed here for a week while getting teeth done , top hotel , the rooms were perfect the staff were wonderful & welcoming felt like home & the food was superb would defo come back here , 10 / 10 from me

Accommodation facilities were nice. I wish there was a hard pillow option, but there was not, and the breakfast did not attract my attention because the hot products were generally in sausage and sausage style.

More comfortable, the environment can be, and convenient.

The children and I liked the place, the only set back is that it's too far from the touristic areas and not much shopping nearby. I was disappointed that the ladies Sauna wasn't working, especially since I booked the place mainly for that. Overall it was a nice hotel.

Hotel is good enough for short/overnight staying. Unfortunately there aren't any alcoholic drinks available at the bar.

We stayed in three rooms with our family for a week. The facilities and service were excellent. The rooms were very clean and well-maintained. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, assisting us with transfers, taxis, and everything we needed. The only area that could use some improvement might be the food in the hotel’s restaurant. The hotel is located in a great area with easy access to the...

SuperbI have never seen such a luxurious and beautiful grand hotel in my whole life. I felt like I was in One Thousand and One Nights: - The restaurant serves great coffee and other Turkish delights. - The staff is extremely courteous, helpful, and just perfect. - the rooms are spacious, have everything you will ever need and more - the hamam is the best with two perfectly run saunas, a clean and...

I like the local feel of this location which is different than most of the tourist locations. you get very reasonable prices and tons of great restaurants around here. I also liked the staff here very much. they tried to accommodate your requests as much as they can. That said, I don't feel this is a true five star hotel; more like a solid four star. This is off course reflected in the price that...

When we came to check in it was fast and without problems, the staff was nice and alway had a smile. Especially Mrs. LiliaShe helped us to extend our stay for 1 day more. Breakfast is fantastic because there are a lot of choices and every day some things cycle so it is not the same every day. The pool is good, it is big but not deep. The hotel is great, it is luxurious and full of nice staff and people...

The room doesn’t look like the room i was piked in the picture it was so small.

From check in to check out the staff were wonderful throughout. I didn’t book hotel transfer from the airport but when I arrived Mr Soner welcomed me and assured me he would sort a taxi for me when I was ready to leave, and he did! It was such a weight off my shoulders. Breakfast was lovely, plenty of options and so was the ladies only spa. You could tell that every care was taken to maintain privacy...

The location is convenient for transportation.

I recently stayed at Sheraton Levent Istanbul thanks to free stopover from Turkish airlines. The hotel, staff and breakfast were amazing. Breakfast had a good variety and ton of options. Probably the best and biggest breakfast I have ever had. The rooms were clean, well maintained and roomy. My only issue was their policies. I was given 3 rooms for 4 adults and 2 kids by Turkish airlines for...

Staffs are nice and helpful - I like the big shower room and no doubt enjoyed the good sleeps during my few days stay here !

I recently stayed at the Sheraton Levent Istanbul and was very pleased with the overall experience. The room was clean, well-appointed, and the bed was especially comfortable—great for a good night’s rest. Service throughout the hotel was excellent. Staff were helpful and professional, and a special thanks to Talha for his attentive support during my stay. The breakfast buffet was another highlight...

Great place to stay. Train station is 1 minute walk from entrance. Breakfast buffet was great but make sure they understand what you want with your omelet. I enjoyed my stay here.

Very nice hotel with free spa access for sauna and pool. Also breakfast very good with large variety.

It was good actually, the location, the cleanroom service, and the price are very suitable

Great hotel with friendly and helpful staff. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The location is very convenient for exploring Istanbul. I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the city.

Lovely hotel with good location and very friendly staff. Rooms were nice and clean. Good value for money. Only problem was no kettle for tea/coffee in the room. I highly recommend!

We had good stay in Eresin hotel, bed was very comfortable and big, room was clean and tidy but unfortunately when we asked for cleaning we didnot get it :( WiFi was also challenging, always have to rely on mobile data for work. But overall it is a good place to stay

We chose this hotel for our trip to Istanbul. The location is excellent; trams run until midnight, and it's just a 3-minute walk from the tram stop. We drove and left our car in the hotel's parking lot for three days. The parking area can accommodate about 7-8 vehicles. The cleanliness was impressive; we had absolutely no issues regarding hygiene, even though my wife is quite particular about such...

Tavsiye ederim fiyat performans.

I arrived very early in the morning, and they had the kindness to allow me an early checkin for free. That was very considerate and the staff was extremely nice during the whole stay. It extremely well situated, very good breakfast. I will totally go again, and recommand it to anyone .

Everything was great, We very much enjoyed our location. The front desk staff was the cutest. Special shout out to guest care services, where there is a wonderful person named Zara. She was super kind and responsive to our requests. Thank you all guys.We'll definitely come back here once again

We had problems with the refund & the transportation.

I was really impressed by my stay at this hotel in Istanbul. From the moment I arrived, the staff greeted me with such kindness and hospitality that I immediately felt welcome. The hotel was spotless, well-maintained, and everything ran smoothly throughout my stay. What stood out the most were the employees , they were incredibly helpful, polite, and professional. They truly represent the best of...

Good location. Near to Taksim subway station. Near to good restaurant

We had a wonderful stay at Radisson Blu Hotel Pera. The rooftop bar offers an absolutely stunning view — especially at sunset, when the city skyline looks magical. The location is perfect, within walking distance to major attractions like Eminönü, Sultanahmet, Galata, and Karaköy. Special thanks to Mr. Eren at the reception for his kindness and professionalism. The complimentary Turkish coffee was...

Great experience! The rooms are excellent and always kept clean by the wonderful housekeeping staff. A big thanks to the reception team for their great hospitality and high-quality service. Will definitely come back!

Sincerely, treatment, cleanliness and respect for everything wonderful, I recommend it a lot

Nice location , clean hotel with good rate

Great location Clean rooms Imaculate service Great staff

Room and amenities are complete and nice. Great breakfast

This hotel boasts an elegant and clean environment, attentive and thoughtful service, and comprehensive and comfortable facilities. Its convenient location makes getting around easy. Overall, I had a very satisfying experience and highly recommend staying here.

I am currently staying in the surmeli hotel istanbul. When you enter the hotel, you can smell a very pungent and sewage smell. In breakfast, water was leaking from the roof. The staff are quite friendly. The rooms have very dull lighting and it can feel quite claustrophobic because it's a round building. The food was basic, not what you would expect, same thing eveyday.

This is not in a touristy neighborhood. I chose this because it was closer to where I had some business to take care of. Staff needs to be little more friendly and perhaps smile especially room service staff. Housekeeping was great. Bar is totally dead. I was there for 4 nights and never saw anyone at the bar having a drink.

Reviewing the F&B team working on 21/9/25 - the morning staff are very accommodating. We dont eat beef and they were kind enough to get us french fries and hot chocolate upon request as we dont take beef. Mr Orhan was kind enough to help us ❤️ hotel and the other services was fair enough as well. Good stay in istanbul❤️

There is no problem except that the cleaning lady comes into our room every morning at 9am, even though we do not want to be disturbed.

My wife and I had our wedding ceremony in Surmeli Hotel in September 2014, literally 10 years ago. We live in Canada and we chose Istanbul for our wedding so that our friends and relative from around the world could attend our ceremony. We enjoyed a small yet extremely warm 2-day event, with guests from 13 different countries and 4 continents. Most of our guests stayed in the same hotel and all of...

Staff are very friendly especially Orhan he was so helpful and kind he made our stay so much better. And the hotel is lovely nice views rooms are clean. Definitely recommend to anyone visiting Istanbul.

The hotel is in a perfect central location, only a 7–8 minute walk from the metro station. Even though it’s situated in a bustling part of the city, the hotel manages to stay peaceful and quiet inside. The breakfast is exceptionally rich and provides a fantastic Turkish breakfast experience. Additionally, the staff are very friendly and helpful.

Lobby is beautiful, elevators efficient and the rooms were clean. Staff was great, especially Burak in the bar/restaurant. The pool is clean and modern.

Stayed for two weeks. Hotel is very good and very clean. The location was perfect for us. The staff are top notch and take their jobs seriously. Breakfast is really good with a lot of options and the breakfast service staff are efficient and attentive. Room service is pricy but good. Had a good experience staying at this hotel but the amount of cigarette smoke throughout the hotel, specifically in...

The lobby is luxurious & clean with friendly professional attentive reception, staff & prompt service. The rooms are very nice & comfortable with housekeeping daily. The free buffet breakfast is amazing served in a beautiful restaurant with local & international meals daily. Wait staff on hand to assist & maintain a professional clean experience.

This is my second stay at Mercure Istanbul and I would like to start by giving a warm thank you to the cleaning staff. You can really tell they work extremely hard. The rooms are spotless and the turnover service is excellent. The spa area is lovely and peaceful, providing a perfect place to relax. However, the pool area could use a bit of updating as it feels somewhat old and tired. The breakfast...

The location of the hotel was ***et nice. In addition, the breakfast was also very successful. The food was generally good. The meeting room was nice. Having an indoor parking lot is also an advantage.

Facilities: A bit dated, but the duvet was really comfortable and the water pressure in the bathroom was good. Cleanliness: Very clean. Environment: There's a lot to do within 700 meters of the hotel, which is very convenient. Service: Decent, the staff were polite.

I had the most wonderful experience at this hotel. Everything was executed to perfection. The facilities, including the rooms, exceeded all my expectations.

Great and friendly stuff, very cleans and amazing food. 10/10 will definitely comeback

The room was spacious, and the facilities felt high-quality. It also has a gym and a pool. It's very close to the subway station, making getting around super convenient. A couple of downsides were the rather limited breakfast options and the somewhat expensive self-service laundry machines downstairs.

Overall, Hilton hotels usually maintain a good standard, but I felt this property was somewhat below expectations. My trip was for business, and I left the hotel every day at 8 a.m. When I returned around 2–3 p.m., my room was still not cleaned. I had to wait about an hour and remind the staff multiple times before someone came, just so I could take a shower and rest. This was frustrating, especially...

The hotel was great! However, it may be tricky to find the place if you are not using the map and get there via metro.

The bathroom smelled musty, and the reception staff gave me the wrong closing time for the pool. The girl in charge of the changing rooms was very unfriendly; she wouldn't even let me shower and rudely told me it was closed. It's not what you'd expect from a 5-star hotel.

We've stayed here several times, and the staff is 5 out of 5. The food is delicious. The location is convenient, with the Civagir shopping center across the street. We've had nothing but positive experiences.

Breakfast is average. Room is normal. Not a 5 star luxury!

Everything is good. Breakfast is acceptable.

It was good experience to stay at the craton hotel sisli Lovely location

No orange juice at breakfast , this is not acceptable for 5 stars hotel , i talk to the manager of breakfast and tell me there is not the boss and can do nothing but can give me orange juice for 10€

Amazing stay! The restaurant on the 6th floor was the highlight — delicious food, a stunning view of the mosque, and super friendly staff. Everyone was so kind and helpful, always ready to assist with anything. Highly recommend this hotel for its great service and beautiful atmosphere!🕌

It was a pleasant stay in the hotel. The only complain I have is that the restaurant did not give place at the table because I am by myself. I understand it was peak time for dinner, but there were many tables empty. They could have sat me in one of the empty two person tables...

The location was very convenient and the mosque across the road was stunning. The rooms were clean and I definitely recommend the VIP spa package. But the main reason I would recommend this hotel is the staff, the very attentive gentlemen captured in the photo were super helpful!

The hotel is located in the heart of Istanbul’s Old City, right opposite a beautiful mosque with panoramic views. From the top floor, the scenery is truly breathtaking. We stayed in a deluxe room which was very spacious and comfortable. The weather outside was quite chilly, but the hotel’s ambience, warm hospitality, and delicious food made our stay perfect. Overall, I’d give this hotel a full 5/5...

Our stay at this hotel was one of the best we’ve had in Turkey. The breakfast was delicious, the cleanliness was excellent, but the real highlight was the staff – especially the amazing gentlemen working there. There were so many of the gentlemen that we couldn’t even catch all their names, but each one was incredibly kind, respectful, and helpful. They assisted us with parking, carrying our luggage...

Nice hotel, stayed for 5 nights, indoor swimming pool, kids loved it. Room very spacious, we are family of 4, has plenty of space. Overall very good affordable hotel, would recommend

The hotel was clean and nice. Food quality was amazing. The location was not so great, no nearby shops and always requires a taxi to go around.

I had to stay here because my flight was overbooked, so I received compensation from Turkish Airlines. The check-in was fast. The room size is perfect, and the beds were comfortable. I tried to call the room service that night for a long time. It is either a busy line, or they pick up and no response from their side. I even hear them talking to each other. I called the front desk, and the person who...

Serenity Comfort Hotel Istanbul Turkish Air put us up here overnight owing to a missed connecting flight. Transfer 25 km from and to the IST airport went smoothly. Hotel seemed empty (except for the two dozen Turkish Air passengers) but breakfast was busy with lots more. Weird experience with our room door: opened fine on check-in but trouble thereafter — we had the key reset of course, but we’re...

The bed was very comfortable, and the breakfast was excellent and plentiful.

I stayed in this hotel with my 2 sons for 3 nights because of the overbooking problem in our Turkish airlines flight to Canada. We really enjoyed our stay. Our room was spacious and very clean, the service was great. The breakfast was rich and delicious. In the end, the indoor pool was clean and warm; my children had really fun there. My special thanks to Mr Ahmet at the reception, Mr. Hasan at the...

Serenity comfort hotel I came on vacation from Nepal to Istanbul, the hotel’s price is very affordable, the hotel rooms are very clean and the bed comfort of the hotel is very nice, the hotel was very close to the airport in terms of location, the breakfast is quite varied, the spa was very nice, thank you very much for everything, thank you very much to the restaurant manager Murat, especially...

We stayed one night and left underwhelmed. Our “Deluxe Pera Side” room was directly above a 6-lane road. The windows are excellent, so it wasn’t particularly noisy — but it still feels like staying above a highway rather than in a historic hotel. Pillows were all synthetic, and despite repeated requests, no feather pillows ever arrived — even when replacements were brought and described as such (tags...

The Pera Palace Hotel is like a vintage edition. Commissioned in 1892 and opened in 1895, it was designed by the French-Ottoman architect Alexander Vallaury. Its original purpose was to provide luxurious accommodation for Orient Express VIPs, earning it the reputation as Turkey's oldest European-style hotel. It was the first electrified building outside the Ottoman imperial palace and the only place...

it is a hotel full of cultural history. location is good too. however the service is lacking in some hotel staff.

We stayed here for two days during our honeymoon in Istanbul. Built in 1892, the hotel holds incredible historical value and features a stunning, classic interior. We especially loved our coffee time in the lounge, and every staff member was exceptionally kind. It was great to see the breakfast menu changing daily. Getting the chance to ride Turkey's first-ever elevator made us feel truly special,...

I love Pera Palace Hotel!!! It's been love at first sight! ❤️ It's been my dream since about two years to spend a night here and finally last night my husband and I did, and even with my extremely high expectations the stay even surpassed those - it was one of the best hotel stays ever - and we had a lot! 😉 Pera Palace Hotel has such a vibrant history and it nourishes this historical vibe, it's like...

The room was great, the service was excellent and attentive, and the food in the restaurant was the best in Turkey. Because I was late checking in, they even let me have afternoon tea in the restaurant for free, and they also said I could have some when I checked out the next day.

Travelled for work Had a wonderful stay Team is best

The location is excellent, right downstairs from what's known as Istanbul's Champs-Élysées. The hotel's design and facilities are luxurious and up to standard. The service is impeccable; they were very welcoming and helped me with late check-out. The only drawback is that it gets a bit noisy at night, probably because it's quite lively downstairs, and the soundproofing of the doors isn't great—I could...

My stay at The St. Regis Istanbul was absolutely outstanding. From the moment I arrived, the hospitality and attention to detail were beyond impressive. The staff were warm, professional, and always ready to help with a genuine smile. I want to give special thanks to Omar, who truly made my experience exceptional. He’s one of the best hotel representatives I’ve ever met—attentive, courteous, and always...

It's a quiet location in the new city. The food court downstairs is convenient for dining, but the bar can be noisy until late on weekends. The breakfast is good, but a little greasy after eating it for two days in a row.

Excellent service, feeling at home

The telephone of the room was not working , rest all was very good , Hopefully it improves Rest food is wonderful

The Double Tree in the old town of Istanbul is in such a great location. Across the road from the tramway and close to the Metro. The room was very well equipped for toiletries and tea and coffee facilities. Bed was comfortable and the back of the hotel was quieter than on the main road.

Excellent location with tram service right outside. Room was clean but lobby was a little dark.

I had a great stay at DoubleTree by Hilton Istanbul Old Town. The location is perfect — right next to the tram stop and within walking distance to Hagia Sophia and Grand Bazaar. Staff were very friendly and welcoming with their signature warm cookie. The room was clean and comfortable, and breakfast had plenty of tasty options. It can be a bit noisy if your room faces the street, but overall it’s an...

It was a nice hotel with great location but the sound isolation is not good with too much noises coming from inside and outside the hotel. Staff was very kind.

There is no vehicular accessibility in front of the hotel. Taxi pick-up and drop-off is on the roads next to the hotel, which cam be a challenge for elderly guests as the roads surrounding the hotel are all slopes. The hotel is dimly lit overall. The service staff are all friendly. Breakfast is fine. Location is fantastic as it's 3 tram stops away from the Blue Mosque.

good hotel, good for families and small group of friends who are looking for some peace of mind

Best hotel i ever booked in Istanbul the only bad thing about it is that doesn't have any near restaurants

Best hotel i ever booked in Istanbul the only bad thing about it is that doesn't have any near restaurants

We wanted to stay at Asian side before going to European side, this hotel is in the city place of atesahir . By bus you can find great breakfast and dinner options and also buy bus you can go for some shopping. You can also go by bus to nearby scenic places like kadikoy Sahili and other places you like , great big rooms with sofa and kitchen fridge etc iconic view … sea side or city view you choose...

Its very nice but could be better referring the location and view

Very nice hotel with excellent pretty rooms

The location is very strategic... unfortunately the receptionist is not very friendly...

I had a wonderful stay at Taksim Gonen Hotel. The location is perfect, the rooms are comfortable, and the atmosphere is great. A special thanks to Mohammed at the reception for his kindness, professionalism, and warm welcome — he truly made the check-in experience smooth and pleasant. And big appreciation to Amin from the service team for his excellent support and attention to detail. His hospitality...

The hotel’s location was good for those looking to stay near Taksim Square, but the room was relatively small and had no soundproofing. We could clearly hear people talking and their TV in the neighboring room, which significantly reduced our privacy. As for the noise from nearby nightclubs, it was quite disturbing and lasted until the early morning hours, especially for guests staying on the first...

My special Thanks to Emrah. He was welcoming and nice. He helped us a lot. Thank for Iranian Spa lady which i dont know her name. But he helped us with our meeting and she is great. If u want exchange it is better to use grand Capisi exchanges. Retes are higher. Many thanks to Gonen guys

Mohammed was helpful and accomodating he made my stay pleasant. Hotel rooms are basic and it worked for me. Breakfast was basic but a great roof top view. Spa is free along with gym and Ismail was welcoming. I used the steam room one evening I enjoyed it. Thank you to Emrah who assisted me at the hotel doors and my language. I would stay agian as the location is perfect especially as a female solo...

The rooms were very small. The shower cubicles were 2.5ft X 2.5ft. Very small. Didn't enjoy showering at all.

The housekeeper will not top up any amenities daily. Cleaning standards is below average and I can safely say that this is the worst marriott managed hotels I’ve ever stayed in across 20 over countries.

It’s very good hotel, but the breakfast is poor according to the hotel level, also the eggs cookers without any ability, too much young and without any knowledge about

Every thing is clean and amazing

Overall a lovely stay. A lots of pros- Great breakfast, friendly staff, 24hr gym, free parking, very safe. Booked a one day tour to Troy, got picked up and drop off at the hotel, saved 2 trips to the Istanbul city,a present surprise. Own experience - Location is far and not easily accessible from main tourist attractions. For self drive, the hotel is located next to a highway, if missed the turning...

The hotel is clean and the food from the restaurant is amazing but pricey. I will definitely come back

Ver nice and it has fitness room and swimming pool. Very nice place.

I had a wonderful stay at the Elite wiorld Hotel in Istanbul. Apart from the location, everything was great. The staff were friendly and polite, especially spa Alfie best massage, who was exceptional and extremely polite and professional I also really enjoyed the open breakfast and the high quality of the food..

The breakfast was good. Is next to the street so is kinda loud.

Room is very big and the sauna's are great

The location is perfect It’s so clean and has a great atmosphere

Upon arrival we received a room facing the main street. We could not sleep well because of the noise of the cars, but the next day the room was replaced with a quieter one. Thanks to the understanding staff. Everything was good, but the room's bathroom is old and needs maintenance and updating.

Thanks for everything it was a really nice and clean hotel The service was very good and the food and drinks were very good
