Holiday Inn Istanbul - Old City

Lokasi sangat baik dan suasana sangat baik

👍🏻decent breakfast taxi stop right next to the hotel early check-in 👎🏻poor service poor communications between hotel staffs I stayed in two rooms; one facing parklot, the other facing opposite room's window. poor views in general.

Great location, excellent breakfast and amenities. I stayed six nights (between 22 and 28th Jan 2024 in Room 406), and Muracettin and the team, including Hilal, especially ever smiling, Gigdem ensured our day started well at the breakfast. Daily housekeeping was done to a good standard, thus returning to the hotel every day after busy exploration and shopping was always pleasant. Fatih and his colleagues, including Kamel at the reception, were readily available to provide assistance or any information required and were truly helpful. In terms of main attractions, say the very end of Sultanahmet, where the Blue mosque and the likes of Hagia Sophia is about 25 - 30 min walk. Notably, the hotel is so close to the main shopping district of the old city of Istanbul, including the vibrant grand bazaar and hundreds of wholesale and retail outlets. Hotel's restaurant provides handful choices, I tried the 3 course menu for 450 (Lira), which was quite reasonable. If I need to be so critical, I would urge the hotel to consider upgrading the bathroom outlook. Otherwise, everything in there is perfect and in full working order. The city view from my room, especially the minerat of Kamal Pasa mosque and the azan (call for prayers) for me was so heart touching and sentimental. For the first time in many years, I felt so emotional to leave this place, thanks for the team who showed so much of love and care. There is a health club within the hotel where all types of massages including hammam (payable) and sona (free), are available. I wouldn't choose anywhere else on my trips to Istanbul!

Everything was fine, the rooms are old but quite nice anyway. Cosmetics could be better, be prepared it‘s only shower gel and shampoo Dove, nothing else is provided unless you ask for it (but no body cream). Location is good, 15 minutes walk to all sightseeings. Overall we had a great time at the hotel, but be ready to pay very high price for everything in a mini bar and at the lobby bar.

Very centrally located next to the T1 station and other locations such as the grand bazaar is walking distance. The hotel guest services is very willing to share the different tour packages and do not overcharge for them. They can also book an airport transfer at a fixed fair price.

Very impressed with location of hotel and how helpful the night duty Receptionist was.

What is bad: I was booked queen bed standard room for 2 persons. But queen bad for 2 persons was 1,5 m width, in my opinion better to book 2 single bad room for two persons-will be more space to sleep. 1,5 m width bad was very small for 2 persons and was not comfortable, and from room no any views (please see in photo). For such money and such room will never come back again. Room very small for queen standard room. No normal doors to toilet. What was good: Serviss is very smily, friendly. Brekfest normal.

A decent hotel for a nice price. Service was okay, staff somewhat friendly.

Great location from Aksaray. Staff is kind. The room is a little bit small for 2 persons and the wall is thin. We could hear conversations from next door and door bell from there kept us up. There is shampoo but not hair conditioner.
