Hotel berhampiran Carium Alışveriş Merkezi, Istanbul

This was my first ever trip to Istanbul. I work in the field of exhibitions and my visit was specifically to attend a trade exhibition at Tuyup (the expo convention center). Istanbul is huuuggggeee like any other country and since I had zero knowledge of the geographies, I took suggestions from fellow travelers on TripAdvisor and my local partner in Istanbul. I had a choice between Expoist and another property close to the expo center. The reviews of both the hotels were almost similar however, The Expoist was offering a better deal. The hotel is about 45 minutes to an hour from the new Istanbul airport and that would cost you around 30 Euros. At check-in, I was offered a complimentary upgrade to a deluxe room. I was offered the room on the top floor with the view of the city side. Although the location is really far from the main city/tourist attractions, its located in a good location if you are traveling for business. The hotel is close to a metro station if you would like to see local transport. There are two malls, a gas station, furniture stores, cafes, restaurants, apparel stores, etc in the vicinity. The room was absolutely neat, clean and pretty spacious, I won't rate it as large but accommodative and comfortable for a solo traveler or a couple. The bathroom is decent but the bath area is really small like a pod. So kind of gets congested if you are large and tall. The room comes with all basic amenities, a mini kitchen with a microwave and basic kitchen wear, a wardrobe, instant coffee, and tea, bottled water etc. TV would play only one English music channel rest nothing in a language I could understand. Not all staff members speak English, but the staff is friendly, accommodating and cooperative. Wifi is really good across the hotel. The language was a major problem in this side of the town, there was barely anyone who could communicate in English. At the metro station, all instructions are in Turkish so one can barely understand or figure out a way to go about using the local means of transport that was really cheaper compared to the taxi. The terrace on the 8th floor offers a fantastic view of the cityscape. Breakfast offered at the restaurant on the 8th floor of the hotel was really decent and amazingly delicious. Not an elaborate spread but was sufficient and delicious. If you are a vegetarian, I am sorry u have very limited choice. Cereals, bread varieties of accompaniment and french fries, fruits, tea & juices.. which by the way is pretty sufficient for a small eater. Overall it was a comfortable stay. As mentioned tourist attractions are all really far but there are two really good Malls in a 5-7 minute distance from the hotel. PS: Make sure you carry an international adapter, Turkey / Istanbul have very different sockets. The hotel does not provide any adapters.

I stayed in an Economy Double Room which I feel is a bit small for 2 people. If I stay again, I would stay in a Deluxe Double room. The reception staff are very helpful. The room itself is lovely and is nicely furnished. I went to the sauna and the hammam. The sauna wasn’t working, but someone was trying to fix it whilst I was there. I’m not sure what the point is of the hammam as it wasn’t explained to me how to use it. Breakfast was good and had a good selection. You can order an omelette if you wish. The location is great – very convenient for the tram and to walk to some of the tourist attractions. I would stay at Bentley Hotel Old City Istanbul again.

Perfect stay in central of istanbul. Walking distance to Taksim and Galata Tower. Sishane metro and Tophane tram station are also nearby. Room was clean. The only thing we need maybe an electric kettle inside the room to make tea and coffee. And also more variety in the breakfast

Начну с того, что сейчас этот отель называется DNZ TAXIM FERİDİYE HoTEL. Бронировала я пребывание на три ночи через букинг в номере делюкс. При заезде нам был выдан другой номер, не соответсвующий описанию и фото при бронировании. Вернулись к администратору с попыткой объяснить, что номер явно другой. Он долго искал наше бронирование, нашел, в итоге дал другой номер. Он был больше и по размеру походил на тот, что был на фото, но при этом не соответстовал внешне. При этом нам было сказано, что других номеров нет. В итоге, пришлось остаться в этом номере. Потом мы начали осматривать его более детально и оказались в легком шоке. Дело было то, в каком состоянии был сам номер: дверные наличники были отломаны, стены все покоцанные до основания, незакрепленная мойка, перетертый шланг для душа, кран, который держался на честном слове. Кран и вентилятор просто торчали из стены, над дверным проемом в ванной все было замазано цементом без какой-то отделки (все есть на фото). Полотенца грязные, с остатками губной помады, а также дырками. Постельное белье тоже было под вопросом. В стоимость проживания входил завтрак, который опять же оказался не таким, как на фото на букинге. Фото завтрака тоже прикреплено к отзыву. Основное там - это полбатона. На стойке регистрации работают арабы, которые по-английский знают пару слов, то есть изъясняться с ними крайне сложно. Ну, и напоследок вишенка на торте. Решили, что не выдержим тут три ночи и уедем после двух ночей. В итоге, администраторы отменили нашу бронь, когда мы выехали, и отправили на букинг информацию о том, что мы якобы не заехали. В общем, они просто обманывают людей! Я никому не рекомендую этот отель!

Traveling to Istanbul is exciting experience and most of the time you should go out of the hotel and walk around so booking the luxurious hotel isn’t good idea. It’s better to cost for visiting this amazing city. You have to consider instead of your payment. At first glance, the location of this hotel may seem a bit disappointing, but I assure you that this hotel is in a great location and is safe, as well as at night, when sleeping, it is quieter than many neighborhoods. . Make sure you get the right service for the price you pay. The only drawback is perhaps the small size of some of the rooms of this hotel, which, considering that the purpose of the trip to this city is sightseeing and you only go to the hotel for bathing and sleeping, all your needs will be met. I hope to come to this hotel again. Thanks for your hospitality.

Ξενοδοχείο στη πλατεία Ταξίμ , σε τοποθεσία που εξυπηρετεί τις μετακινήσεις στο κέντρο της πόλης και βρίσκεις πολλά μαγαζιά και εστιατόρια. Δωμάτια χωρίς καθόλου θέα και με πολύ θόρυβο από το δρόμο. Το πρωϊνό φτωχό, μόνο η θέα από την αίθουσα του πρωϊνού αξίζει.

Yaklaşık iki aydır bu hostelde kalıyorum. Diğer hostellerden ayıran farkı her gün temizlik yapılması ve çarşafların değişmesi. Temiz olması. Her hangi bir sorununuz olması halinde bildirdiğiniz takdirde hemen çözülüyor. Resepsiyonda ki arkadaşlar (Seyf, Gamze, Ali ) RoofBar'da ki arkadaşlar (Sevda, Ulaş, Özkan, Adnan) Housekeeping ve diğer personel arkadaşlarda çok ilgililer. Kesinlikle tavsiye ettiğim bir hostel.

Hi ... I stayed with my family in Istanbul at Noble pangalti for 10 nights. The hotel is newly opened, everything was very clean and shiny. Sheets ,towels and duvet all brand new . I give the hotel 5 of 5 with everything nay be the only thing that I didn't like was the pillows, it wasn't very comfortable. For the people working there ( receptionists , housekeepers ) I definitely give them a rating 10 of 5 specialy Ali , however all of them were very polite, very helpful and very friendly additionally the gentlemen in the reception were all speaking English well. I very highly recommend the hotel, and as a usual visitor to Istanbul this hotel is a piece of mind for my coming trips.
