Reviews and Ratings
I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel's value for money at the right location, albeit the rooms were a bit small and unappealing compared to other Hilton chain hotels I've stayed at. The service was friendly and professional, making my stay enjoyable. The location was excellent for exploring historic Istanbul, although minor inconveniences like the size of the rooms were noticeable. The dining experience, while overlooking Istanbul, left a bit to be desired with average offerings. Overall, a mixed experience with some highlights and drawbacks.
The hotel has a great location near the Grand Bazaar and other major attractions in Istanbul. The rooms, although a bit small for three people, could be improved by making them more soundproof. The service was exceptional, with the manager personally ensuring our comfort. The dining options were average and could use more variety. Overall, a convenient choice for exploring the city.
The hotel had nice rooms that were spacious and comfortable, but lacked storage space for luggage. The service was excellent, especially with staff going above and beyond to assist us. The location was ideal for exploring the city, while the dining options could have been improved. Overall, a good value for the money.
The hotel is ideally located for sightseeing, shopping, and food adventures. The room with balcony was a little small but provided a nice stay; however, the double bed was not sufficient for us with our child.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel in the heart of the city. The rooms were clean and modern, and the complimentary water daily was a nice touch. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable stay, although the rooms were a bit small, and the lack of drawers for small clothing was a slight inconvenience that depended on the behavior of neighbors.
