Hotel Yesilpark

I booked one night because the location was convenient, but unfortunately the hotel does not deserve 1 star, the room I booked should be 25 square metres but the room I got is not even 15 square metres, toilet and washing room no more than one square metre, no water To drink, no towels, the wall was so thin you could feel people walking down the corridor because I couldn't sleep inside the room at all, and in the morning, there was no such thing as breakfast. Comparable to 3.5 star hotel, really even if the demand is high for hotels in Istanbul and a lot in Fatih area but at least respect people's minds and money they paid for their stay, I don't recommend this hotel at all

The staff were helpful and the room was okay.

DO NOT STAY HERE unless you have money to lose. I booked and paid a month in advance. On arrival at midnight, I was told to pay more money. I disputed this as all fees had been paid. The hotel staff were shouting at me, giving reasons for payment that included: change of exchange rate (invalid because I paid in USD a month ago when the rate was stronger), error by *******, and other nonsensical reasons. After 30mins of arguing I was given a key but told in the morning I would have to move rooms. In the morning, the manager refused to engage in conversation other than to say "more money, get out". There were several other foreign guests at reception and all were being shouted at for more money. ******* confirmed I should not pay any more but when the hotel said that we could no longer stay here, ******* told us to call the police. The police didn't speak English and were not interested. The staff started shouting at a guest with a child for more money. It was horrible. We were now wasting so much time or our holiday that we had to leave and find a new hotel over Xmas New year at late notice. ******* were NO HELP whatsoever and to this date don't even acknowledge what we we through.

Awful. Stay away! This is a bait-and-switch scam! We arrived and staff told us that we had to pay double what we had already paid on *******. There were three other families in the same situation where the hotel refused to honor ******* bookings and wanted to charge double. Room was filthy - my bare feet were black with dirt after using the shower (which was also filthy). We stayed one night then went to the Marriott. Hotel refused to refund the rest of the nights. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!

We are very satisfied with our stay at Yesilpark. This budget hotel was very clean and the room was comfortable. The staff is polite and always willing to help. We especially liked the free buffet breakfast, which, although quite simple, genuinely samples a traditional Turkish breakfast. From the rooftop terrace (7th floor), you get an amazing view of Istanbul from sunrise to sunset. It's a pity the rooftop looked abandoned when we were there. We also liked the hotel's location in Fatih, a lively local neighborhood slightly away from the touristic maze, while still close enough to the major sightseeing places. Notes: (1) The basic room is very tight for 2 persons. So it is best to book a bigger room, especially if you have a lot of luggage. (2) There is no safe inside the room. Thank you, hotel Yesilpark, for making our stay in Istanbul a memorable one !

This hotel has no amenities other than a modest breakfast. Be prepared to hear anything and everything the guy in the next room does. This includes talking, using the toilet, cleaning his nose. etc.... By the way, if I can hear everything from his room, well, he can hear mine too. The bathroom ceiling leaks whenever the guy above you takes a shower onto your shower. So, if you don't mind showring in someone else's dirty water, well, go ahead. Some of the staff were wonderful (Khadija the housekeeper, the night clerk, and the baggage handler) but the day time recipient (ADA) had the personality of a cockroach. She was rude, loud, and totally unprofessional. Even if the property was acceptable, I would stay there because of her. Over all, this hotel gets one star since this would be the lowest I can go. There are many other hotels that are better than this one. By the way, someone used my ******* account to give this property a good review.

Staff was very nice and helpful. They would do their best to make you happy.
