The hotel had a cozy atmosphere and was well-located, just a short walk from attractions. Staff were genuinely friendly and helpful, especially at the reception. However, the room felt somewhat dated and smaller than expected. It would benefit from upgrades to match modern standards.

I had a lovely stay! The breakfast was plentiful, with freshly baked bread and great options. The staff even surprised me with a birthday gift! The room matched the photos perfectly.

Strongly recommend for a fleeting trip

Welcoming staff, comfortable room, with a delicious breakfast selection, and it's conveniently located just a few stops away from major historic attractions via tram.

Everything was impeccable.

Excellent breakfast buffet

perfect for exploring iconic sites and dining spots

I enjoyed the fantastic central location that allowed me to easily stroll to the Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace, both just a short walk away, and the staff were incredible, especially the welcoming team at the reception who went out of their way to assist me during my stay.

We had a wonderful time visiting local attractions in Istanbul. The breakfast buffet was delightful, offering a wide variety of dishes, and we particularly enjoyed the warm ambiance of the lobby bar with live piano music in the evenings.

In my wife’s opinion, the hotel could really use a kids' play area for more family-friendly activities.

i enjoyed my stay at holiday inn! the room was clean and well-maintained, with a small desk that was great for work. the location is perfect, close to many attractions, and the staff was super friendly. complimentary water bottles were a nice touch!

would recommend

Excellent location near major touristic sites.

The elevator was out of service during our stay.

Had an amazing time with friends. We explored the iconic Topkapi Palace and enjoyed a scenic sailboat ride along the Bosphorus. The breakfast spread was impressive, and the staff was super helpful. Make sure to try the local eateries nearby and ask the front desk for recommendations!

One downside was that taxis seemed reluctant to come directly to the hotel, which made getting around a bit tricky at times.

The location is superb, just minutes from transport links, allowing easy access to major attractions. The breakfast was a standout, featuring an impressive variety of dishes, and the Turkish tea was a delightful touch. The staff provided excellent service, particularly the receptionists, who made navigating the city a breeze. However, there were noticeable areas for improvement, as some facilities did not meet typical high standards, and the room could have used more thorough maintenance.

The room was clean and well-maintained, a bit on the small side but practically set up with a desk and chair. Air conditioning worked great, and I appreciated the coffee maker. Wi-Fi signal was solid for browsing around. It didn't have any standout features but was comfy enough for our stay. Plus, the complimentary water bottles were a nice touch!
