My stay at The Istanbul Hotel was quite disappointing. While the location was excellent, just a short walk from historical attractions like Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, the state of the room and amenities left much to be desired. The room I was in was dark and cold, and the ongoing renovations made it noisy all day long.

The triple suite was dark and noisy, with hard beds that were uncomfortable. Many light bulbs were out, making it hard to read, and despite being spacious, it faced a wall rather than a city view.

The service was limited; the staff tried to be helpful but struggled with language barriers and the dining options were very basic.

Location

The location was perfect for exploring, conveniently close to major attractions like the Basilica Cistern and Topkapi Palace, and surprisingly quiet at night.

The breakfast was abysmal, with only a few types of cheese, salads, and very basic options that really need improvement.
