Istanbul Hotels

The location. Its located in downtown Istanbul.

Hat disappeared from the room. Took over an hour and a half to do check in. They tried to include a breakfast package that I never hired.

the location is brilliant

The bed and pillow were very uncomfortable. It was impossible to sleep especially on the side that faces the square because it was too noisy. Windows were not thick enough. I was charged immediately after I made my reservation, contrary to the rules.

View Restaurant

Staff was great, in particular, Malike. Can't wait to go back.

I ve chosen this Hotel for the swimming pool since I was travelling with my small kids. Very nice seafront view and infrastructures indeed. The staff is very professionnal and helpful. They were really nice. Very good level of service and nice food.

Becous it is Sheraton :)

Great view! Exelent location with amazing rooftop and coctails , central ... great choice best view than the galata tower

Gym too small

5 of 5 starsReviewed 1 week ago Our trip in Istanbul was for 6 days, and the idea was to find a hotel with an outdoor pool, to be able to get away from the hustle & bustle and chill out every once in a while. I’ve found that most hotels with pool have indoor pools and Hamam's....which is nice… of course... but in the summer heat, an outdoor pool is more what we need... Some of the high end expensive Hotels seem to have it but we didn't want to spend hundreds of $$$ per night... Anyway, I’ve found and booked the Marmara Pera and wasn't totally sure what to expect. Here our impressions: Perfect location in an upscale neighborhood, 1 minute from the famous walking street Istiklal, between Taksim square and Galata Tower. The building is the tallest on that hill and it gets you the most stunning views without any obstructions whatsoever. We stayed in room 901 and had a fantastic view over the city and river. Best of all was the sunset because the sun would go down right in the center of the window...absolutely beautfiful. The pool on the roof is not big but it doesn't matter because you are overlooking Bosporus river, the old town, the blue mosque, the whole shebang. You can overlook all directions from the Rooftop and again, you are on the tallest building around, so no obstructions. Very friendly & English speaking staff, easy check in Nice Amenities in the room Power outlets that keep charging your devices even when not in the room and key card removed from the main power switch. Our local friend mentioned that the restaurant on the Rooftop is excellent but we never actually ate there. Not sure if the hotel prices were lowered because it happened to be Ramadan or maybe because tourists bought into the terror scare that is rampant ever since 9/11 and stayed away... but we've only paid $80 per night for that room with the sunset view. Btw, there is a metal detector and 24h security at the entrance. I've visited Istanbul before and I think having a view and a central location is really making all the difference. I will come back here and stay in this very hotel. One last thing: download the App called BiTaksi and link it with your credit card. It's like UBER but it's what the locals use over here. I started already at the airport and never waited more than 4 minutes for a Taxi. This way, we’ve never had to hackle for price, got rejected because of the destination, or worse...got scammed when paying in cash... and believe me.... Taxi stories were my worst experience on my previous trips to Istanbul. Love Istanbul, don't get discouraged, help yourself, use technology and Apps to make the most of your trip. Stay open minded, be friendly, stay cool and you will get great things in return.

Nothing at all!

Location

Rooms were too hot!! Airco was only able to heat-up the room, no cooling, with a temperature between 24-27, extremely warm and not good to have a good night sleep

Close to airport and free shuttle. Nice and modern.

Breakfast was awful. They charged us $50 for a buffet-style breakfast. My husband had some eggs and I had a bowl of fruit--that's it. We thought it was just included in the hotel fare until they gave us the bill, but it was too late to do anything about it.

The spacious lobby The grand breakfast the large lounges and meeting rooms the large gardens the hotel entrance

Some floors designated as Non-Smoking, but we could smell smoke

10mins walk to Taksim square, good facilities, quite and classy

Some staff were not as welcoming or friendly as you would expect in a 5 star hotel

Staff very helpfull

Everything perfect

Good location close to city, quiet environment, bosphorus view in some rooms

No free wifi and extremely high charges to have access, rooms needs refurb to compete in the five star class

Cerca de la estacion del tren buen desayuno Personal amable en recepción y restaurantes Bonitas vistas desde la terraza

Nos toco una habitación en el segundo piso que la vista no era para nada agradable y el tamaño justo Cobran un extra por el uso del baño húmedo ( turco ) y del hidromasaje Habitación de tamaño normal , nada espaciosa , más bien justa

tremendous view--great room service ==just the place to get over jet lag.

fridge temperature not cold-AC seemed a bit faulty

Great Stafd very helpful with giving advice and arranging transportation. Great Turkish Bath, hot tub and steam room

the coolness of the ambient

Perfect location, Good quality roof restaurant

At the breakfast you have to pay additional fee if you want to have fresh juice or espresso or omelette. The Wi-Fi internet is free, but with very poor quality!

They don't do what they promise. Pets are not allowed. Parking is not free. Restaurant service is slow

The hotel was very comfortable, the staff was always available to help book trips and answer questions. The breakfast was varied and good quality. But the staff made the hotel better than simply a quiet room to relax in.

Poor internet in the rooms, difficulty connecting to internet despite the staff providing numerous passwords

Good hotel, good location not far from Agia Sophia.

Rooms were nicely decorated and had many automated features.

NOISE level was unbearable, I couldn't sleep all night due to SUPER LOUD music followed by a fight right outside my window. I ended up going to sleep around 6:00am. TV was nicely mounted on the wall, but hidden behind glass which made it unviewable; also TV size is too small for the room size, can't really see much from the bed. No breakfast facility on location.

The W Istanbul is centrally located on the European side in Istanbul, with several shops and restaurants just around the corner, Nisantasi is also a short 10 minute walk away (exquisite shopping). Vogue, a rooftop restaurant and bar, is also a short 2 minute walk away. The hotel is clean, trendy and very comfortable. The staff is very helpful and service was excellent (sans the mini-bar items that I never used finding their way onto my check-out bill, which the staff swiftly removed). Would highly recommend the hotel to any solo travelers or couples.

I would have liked for there to have been a salon and for the gym to have offered yoga classes (or any other sort of fitness class).

The Spa was good but not excellent.

Dirty carpets and bedding. No electric points for charging mobiles by the bed. Noisy A/C

I like this place because near the shopping and taksim squer

Very bad this hotel because they can't clean evry time , the room very small , this hotel 4 star not 5

Very good position close to Taxsim Square. Well run hotel with friendly staff and well appointed bedrooms.

close to the historical sites

The location and also the breakfast.

Our room was the cheapest one, so be ready to stay next to the elevator and no view at all since there's another house next to the window.

Staff service

Poor breakfast buffet

The staff

We had an amazing stay the staff were amazing , especially with children ...however the only time we were disappointed was when the concierge sent us twice on a wild goose chase for dinner and both times the restaurants they suggested were closed and had to find alternative options and that can be quiet difficult when you are travelling with two infants and one child (<5)

Well located and spacious.

It is definitively an aging hotel. Was on the 1st floor and the hallway and rooms smelled like smoke even if it was non-smoking.

Very nice hotel

It was away from tourist area of old town. But that was not nessessary a bad thing

Location was fabulous. Breakfast on rooftop has amazing views.

Hard beds. Noise from construction next door.

We stayed at Tan Hotel for 3 days. The staff was extremely helpful and very polite. The hotel architecture is superb, especially the terrace restaurant where we had breakfast and could see the view of all of dowtown Istanbul. Overall it was a great experience and this hotel made it all the more better! We highly recommend it and would stay here again!

Very good location in a touristic area. Decent rooms, decent breakfast, free wifi.

Rooms are outdated, it is not 4*, maximum 3*.

Service from staff was good and it is easy access to Blue Mosque and Aya Sophia. We visited there in mid-Oct and it was raining and cold, but heating system in the room was very good.

Breakfast starts too late (from 7:30AM) and the room was not very sound-proof and it was quite noisy when people were talking or walking in the corridor.

the staff were so helpful

the coffee maker in side the room is not for free, and even the WIFI. the bathroom door has no luker it is a slide door anly.

Staffs only

Rooms are so noisey. You can easIly hear sounds out side and when the door of next room is closed you can easily hear the clio of door.

Every thing about this hotel was perfect; service, design, cleanness, amenities ( indoor and outdoor swimming pools,gym,steam room) the room is perfect with amazing views. Professional and very friendly stuff. Thank you!! Mrs Bagum at the reception.

None

Good central location and convenient basic breakfast included in package. Windows with excellent isolation for street noise.

Lights in room too low. (no actual ceiling light to brighten the room)

I liked there location, the room is very comfort, the area is very nice, save and nice security.

only the price,

The hotel is perfect located in Sultan Ahmad area, near blu mosque and all sight seeing area in European side in Istanbul. Clean hotel with Ok breakfast. Helpful personal.

Clean,good locatıon,frıendly staff, free ınternet

very good staff, good location, medium quality of bedrooms

Location, interior & breakfast.

Small size of the hotel

I Like the style of room in Germir Palas and breakfast. the food for brakfast are very fresh. Also tea is great.

There was no problem during my staying.

Staff were courteous, decor was great, hotel has a warm cosy feel to it

Breakfast room - bit lacking in atmosphere.

Perfect value for money... 5 star services, combined with reasonable pricing... Excellent location - close to everywhere thanks to city train station across the street. Very rich and diverse breakfast. Accessible by train, metro, all kinds of buses, taxi, etc. Carrefure supermarket just 100m away Friendly staff... What we liked most is a small (tiny) private balcony on our 5th floor room. Very romantic, sitting outside and watching sunset over 1600 years old city walls of Constantinople / Istanbul.

Nothing comes to mind. We liked all!

i think massagors are not enough there.

everything was good

It's very well-located, if you have to be near Taksim this is the best place. It's close enough to the meydan and to the Metro and buses, but not so close to Istiklal where all of the noise and crowds are. The rooms are nice and comfortable.

The Wifi was very slow and kept going in and out, if you're paying $140 for a room you shouldn't have to deal with something even $28/night hotels in Istanbul get right.

-Location -Hotel amenities -Staff friendliness My wife and my passports were stolen from me. The hotel was more than accommodating to our needs. They even gave us a discount when we extended our stay.
