Hotel berhampiran İmam-ı Azam Camii, Istanbul

The Receptionist was excellent as was dinner - we were the only diners as it was a national holiday. The room was fine but in the morning whilst in the shower all the water in the bathroom stopped. Reception said there was a problem with their water pump which was soon resolved. The Hotel is in a business area on the Asian side which is not ideal for the airport or port.

It was a pretty strange stay and probably easiest to list the pros and cons. Pros: Location - if you want a real sense of life in Istanbul, away from the tourist areas, then this is great. We did enjoy this aspect. Staff - the staff were friendly, courteous and well-meaning. Air con - our room was beautifully cool. Great air con and a balcony which was nice. Food - the food/room service was very cheap. The French toast was the best we’d ever had! Views - we loved the view from our balcony of many colourful Turkish buildings. Shower - great, powerful shower! Cons: Location - It was very difficult to get taxis to, as the surrounding roads were shut. It’s also in a very hilly/bumpy area so not a pleasant drive. Sleep - The room featured blinds with gaps in between, meaning the room was never dark and got light very quickly. There were also small ceiling windows dotted around that couldn’t be covered and kept the room even brighter. The walls were actually the thinnest I have ever experienced, and it felt like we were in a caravan. The whole floor seemed to shake if someone shut their door, and you could hear everything your neighbours did/said (including showering and more!). Room - our room had extremely low ceilings and therefore the bed also had to be very low to the ground. Certain areas of the room were only accessible by crouching down to reach. I wouldn’t stay here again, through no fault of the staff, just the difficulties in travel and the inevitable sleep deprivation.

Everything about the hotel was fine for the price, great room and decent breakfast. You catch a tiny bit of cigarette smoke smell at times but not too bad, people smoke everywhere in Turkey so it's something you just have to get used to. My City Hotel doesn't seem to be particularly close to any tourist spots. We have friends nearby so location was great for us. The surrounding environment is just suburban Istanbul. There's a good mall within walking distance.

Me and my Familiy reserve This Very Bad Hotel and we saw on Booking that the hotel in the price of accommodation offers breakfast in the price of accommodation! When we arrive im Hotel we like to get Shower, but in badroom we can make medium hot water! Water is too Cold or Too Hot! When you get shower you start wit hot Water and then is Too cold and then Too Hot! My god you just here some of my family member screeming from badroom! that morning when we arrived the guy at the front desk was constantly trying in various ways to take more money from us and trick us in any way! first he tried to charge us another night. we arrived around 6am 17.02am because our reservation is from 17.02pm to 21.02pm on the 4th night and the guy offered us to take a look at the Two Apartments because they were both free to decide which one to take and after our decision for the apartment we asked if we could enter to the room if she is free on what he said we can go in but in that case we have to pay 5th night! we didn't want him to agree and we said we would wait until it's time to check In but they should still somehow meet us since I'm with my daughter and little baby! in the end, he said that we could enter because we didn't want to pay anything extra! the first morning when we woke up we asked where breakfast is served and that same receptionist because he said they serve in the room that the price is 80TL per person! I then asked him how to pay for breakfast when that price of accommodation includes breakfast?!? he said that breakfast is still charged after which I decided to stay in the hotel only one night because after all the attempts to take more money in any way we all felt disgusted and we felt like we came to the lowest budget hotel. after this he said he would still send us breakfast but only for two even though we had booked for four people! we felt like some beggars to whom they gave it for alms even though we paid for it all! the access to the hotel is very bad and is located on a really big hill and it is far from the city center and all the big shopping malls and all the sights! This was really the worst experience of all the hotels where my family and I were. you will also see pictures showing all the correspondence with the people from this hotel who are extremely rude and hungry and who are trying to take your money in a hundred ways! I would tell everyone who comes to this hotel to be careful not to experience something like me and my family!

This is definitely a 5 star hotel! They always offer assistant even when not needed, they did not lack anything and I truly appreciate the receptionist. I enjoyed my stay and will come again. Esma and Olgun, and Emre, and the manager Huseyin were great, every time I went out and came back in they were ready to assisted. My room was always clean and had refreshments when I came back. Thank you very much!

Burada çok kez konakladım fakat bu sefer hiç memnun kalmadım. Odada yaşlı bir kadına ait saçlar her yere dağılmış vaziyetteydi. Temizlik başarısızdı. Sıcak su sorunu vardı, duş alırken ve bulaşık yıkarken su aşırı soğuyor ve ısınıyordu. Normalde yastık seçen bir insan değilim, sert, yumuşak, yüksek, alçak fark etmeksizin tüm yastıklarla uyuyabilirim. Odaya tıka basa doldurulmuş, başınızı abartısı 45 derece açıda bükecek kadar bir yastık konulmuş. Yastıksız uyumayı tercih ettim.

Ich war schon in mehreren Hotels in der Stadt. Und ich schaue immer nach low budget Hotels, weil ich dort sowieso nur schlafe und dann gehe. Und bisher war es immer schlechter als man dachte. Aber bei diesem Hotel war ich mehr als zufrieden mit dem Zustand des Hotels selbst. Es ist zwar weiter weg vom Zentrum, aber mit der Metro oder Taxi erreicht man sowieso alles easy. Bis zur nächsten Metrostation sind es 20 min Fußweg. So wie der Manager des Hotels mor erzählt und anhand von Fotos auf seinem Handy gezeigt hat, wurde das Hotel vor einigen Monaten erst eingeweiht. Es ist also sehr neu. Soweit ich mich recht entsinne, ist es Anfang 2023 eröffnet worden. Die Einrichtung ist wirklich schön und modern gemacht. Die Preise sind wirklich wunderschön. Ich habe für 6 Übernachtungen grade mal 150€ gezahlt. Ich war alleine übrigebs. Es ist nicht wirklich was los dort, die Menschen kommen, schlafen, essen und gehen Also ist es sehr ruhig. Auch die Umgebung ist ruhiger als im Zentrum. In der Nähe steht eine Moschee, aber die Wände sind so gut verdichtet, dass ich nicht von den Gebetsrufen am Morgen geweckt wurde. Die Aussicht aus meinem Fenster war einfach nur wunderschön! Ich war auf der 4. Etage. Man hat richtig schön die Skyline gesehen. Es gab 24 Std Rezeption👍 Und die Mitarbeiter waren soweit auch nett, mit einem der mitarbeiter und dem manager habe mich auch länger unterhalten. Jeden Tag wurde aufgeräumt und es was schön sauber. Bisher bestes low budget hotel👍👍

Расположение отеля на ”5”. Было позднее заселение. Все прошло хорошо. Номер чистый. Окно выходило во двор, поэтому утром было тихо. Есть лифт.

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
