Orientbank Hotel Istanbul, Autograph Collection

Fatih Istanbul|0.61km from Grand Bazaar
Even before we arrived, the Orientbank Hotel was providing great service. I emailed with hotel staff in advance of our trip to arrange car service from the airport, and they were very helpful. Once we arrived, late at night after two long flights, we were greeted at the hotel with such warmth and care. While checking in, I mentioned that we were tired and hungry, as our second flight hadn't served any dinner, and the front desk team put together a bag of sandwiches and snacks for us to take with us to our room. It was such a kind gesture and totally indicative of the quality of service at this hotel. Everytime we came and went, the lobby team asked us how we were and if there was anything we needed. Doors were held open with a smile. I asked for advice on using a kiosk to buy an Istanbulkart, since we wanted to make the most of public transit, and the front desk staff walked me through the process in detail. Everyone here was just so very nice, in a way that felt genuine and lovely. Huge thanks to all of the staff at Orientbank Hotel -- you are all amazing! Our room was on the fourth floor and was generously sized and nicely decorated. Water was provided in the room, which I always appreciate. We were perfectly comfortable and slept very well. In the mornings, we took advantage of the amazing hotel breakfast. The Turkish Breakfast comes with an incredible amount of food, but it was all delicious and offered such a great array of choices. It felt really indulgent and special. We also had dinner at the hotel on our last night there, and it was delicious. Don't miss going up to the rooftop. The view is spectacular. I loved that this hotel was so convenient to every place we wanted to go. It's right around the corner from the Egyptian Market, and just beyond that you can get the tram or the ferry anywhere in Istanbul. We were so glad we chose this hotel, and it made our stay in Istanbul even more memorable. If returning to Istanbul, I would definitely stay here again.

Bizim Hotel

Beyazit Istanbul|0.33km from Grand Bazaar
We stayed here on two separate occasions on our trip while we were in Turkey. We stayed one night and then asked to store our bags while we travelled outside of Istanbul and then for another two nights before we left Turkey. We choose this hotel because of its location. It is less than a 5min walk to the Grand Bazaar. We knew our time in Istanbul we wanted to shop and wanted to stay close by so we drop things off at the hotel easily. The street on which the hotel is also has a few restaurants at the end and also two banks. We stayed in two different rooms. Our first room was very small and at the back of the hotel. It was good just for the night. Our second room was slightly bigger and was facing the street. We liked this room a lot more. Both rooms were clean and while kept. Our biggest complaint was the hotel transfer. I emailed several days ahead of time to schedule a transfer and they quoted more than what I had previous paid directly from the airport, so beware and negotiate. We were told to meet our driver at a certain gate and I know it was out of no one's fault but were caught up in immigration which took us much longer to leave and we did not have access to a phone and Istanbul airport does not have wifi. We were able to ask a random person for help and were able to find our driver......but he was by far the worst driver in the world. He drove so slow...a ride that should be 45mins took us almost two hours. He was on his phone the whole time and swerving in between the lines on the road. I was so upset about the drive. For the second transfer, I have emailed several times about our pickup time and asked several times where do we meet our driver? When we arrived there was no driver and again we were stuck asking strangers to use their phones and call the hotel. The driver was more than 1hr late. It just ruined all our plans that day to get into Istanbul earlier since we just lost over 1hr just standing at the airport. I would NOT get a transfer from the hotel. Get one from the airport it was the same price and hassle-free. I would like to add there is an ATM on the same street as the hotel that dispenses Lira ₺, Pounds £ and USD $.

Everything about this place is perfect. Don't get shocked by the small entrance and reception. We arrived at 2:00 am in the morning and Mr. Mourad welcomed us in a friendly way and even offered food since we will not be able to wake up early for breakfast 😅. The room is very clean and spacious (deluxe). The location is very close to tram and walking distance to a looooot of places. We have a very close supermarket, money exchange places, restaurants, even taxis are everywhere. The room is clean and the service is exquisite. The breakfast is cute and nice prepared by Ms. Areefa. During the day we met Mr. Kevin who is very welcoming and friendly as well. The Hotel staff were like our family, caring and warm. If I am back to Istanbul, that will very my choice to stay

They have very nice rooms, fully furnished, handy and handy, 100m away from the white square and Tramvaya, 200m away from the closed market, 10m away from the Sultanahmet square. I was a good choice. I was very happy.
Victory Hotel & Spa Istanbul
3.3/527 Reviews
Beyazit
The victory hotel is in a great location. It's at the top of the hill so once u get there it's easy access to the rest of the city. Also Guven at the front desk was very helpful with navigating the city and kind. He was a wonderful human to meet. The hotel was very accommodating as I didn't have to carry my bags upstairs and they brought us a crib for my baby to sleep in. There's an interesting power feature with the key to the room as you only receive one I think its more of a security feature. The view from the rooftop is amazing as you can see the entire city and even catch views of the sea. If we come back to istanbul I'd definitely use this hotel again. Only thing I'd change is more American accommodating selections at breakfast like toast pancakes scrambled eggs or waffles, and a ramp for the handicap / strollers
