Only stayed here for the last night in Istanbul, hotel staff was very polite and courteous. Room was complimentary upgraded and late checkout was accepted. I left my car in the car park (which you have to pay 10 euros - for one night) until 5pm with no extra costs. Sultan Ahmet is 25 min walk, Sulaymaniyah is 15 min walk, and a lot of other bazaars are all 15-30 min walk.

Liked: Cleanliness
Room was quite small, the room next door was being used as a staff room so was noisy throughout the day and night while staff were coming and going. Breakfast was ok, limited other options around the hotel so was needed. Location wise, this was our first time in Istanbul and the hotel isn't as centrally located as you'd think, long walk to the touristy areas and restaurants.

What a lovely place to stay, a wonderful community of people, from the front desk, to bar staff, kitchen, spa services. These people really know how to give brilliant hospitality. They work hard to keep the customers happy, they made us feel welcomed the very first day all the way to our very last day. ❣️ Such a wonderful bunch of staff. I would definitely be returning. It’s clean, smells lovely, fresh with a modern look. The food was lovely. It’s the first hotel I have been to that have gluten free products on display at breakfast without me having to ask for it. Biscuits, cake and bread. This is rare I was so pleased to see this. Every hotel should do this. To accommodate everyones needs. The front desk were so helpful with anything we needed and also helped us to find tours or travel and outside entertainment and site seeing around the Istanbul city. It was such a pleasant and enjoyable stay. The staff are loving, caring and really care about their guests. They go the extra mile to make you feel happy with your stay. Kemel Gigdem, Faith and Mashsun they were my favorites and Spa service staff plus The hospitality staff made breakfast feel great. Front desk is the best, they set the tone for the hotel and bring high expectations and you definitely see it. We will certainly be coming back. Thank you Holiday inn Old City Istanbul.
