Istanbul Holiday Hotel Reviews

Facilities: This hotel is located in the old town. I didn't expect it to be this old. The most important thing is that the bathroom smelled terrible, giving me a headache. There was absolutely no soundproofing, and I'm not exaggerating – it was zero. I didn't sleep well the entire night. Cleanliness: The sheets and pillows looked like someone had sat on them with their clothes on before me; they were very dirty. I rarely leave such a review, but the cleanliness here was exceptionally poor. Environment: This is where their highlight comes in. Without a doubt, it's right at the entrance of a tourist attraction, very close. The convenience store next door has reasonable prices and doesn't overcharge. Service: The red-haired staff member was very polite and allowed me to store my luggage early, which was great. The self-service Turkish breakfast was also very enjoyable. In summary, if you bring earplugs and aren't bothered by cleanliness issues, then the price and the breakfast they offer make it quite worthwhile.

The room was small, but had everything required. The price for the location was good, because of the location you easily get access to whatever you want to see in an old city. If you enjoy walking, you will see main sightseeings in Istanbul, with access to any transport, any location.

We really enjoyed our stay there. It was clean and cozy, and all the attractions were nearby. 👍👍👍

Excellent hotel for travelers. It's within walking distance of attractions, and there are plenty of cafes and supermarkets nearby. The rooms are small but cozy, cleaned daily, and the staff is polite, with Russian-speaking personnel at the front desk. For breakfast, you won't go hungry. The rooftop veranda is absolutely amazing!

Worst hotel experience ever. The hotel is extremely congested, and it feels like they try to charge extra for everything. The staff was not helpful and showed little interest in resolving issues or assisting guests. Overall, the service was disappointing, and I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

The service was excellent! I'd love to come back again! Thank you for letting me store my luggage before check-in and after check-out, and for providing a complimentary meal!

the location was absolutely perfect - most of the sights are within a 5 minute walking distance, while the hotel itself is located on a clean, quiet street with gorgeous buildings. no big crowds! the walk to the Bosphorous also takes no more than 5 minutes. you can find anything there, even the souvenir store across the street had a great assortment and prices. breakfast was simple but good. the room was clean and comfortable. all the staff were very nice and welcoming. will definitely return in the future❤️ grateful to everyone

I booked this hotel based on other reviews. After staying at the hotel we were rather disappointed! So I will be honest no detailed. Firstly the state of the bathroom was poor , mould and bloated vanity unit. The toilet seat was broken.Shower area mouldy see pics. An unmarked dispenser of either shower gel or shampoo, cheap and poor. No other toiletries supplied other than cheap commercial soap. There is no kettle or tea/coffee provided in rooms nor is any bottled water supplied. The room was quite musty and aircon output was mediocre. Simply put room was poor but the location was fantastic , 10 mins walk away from the Blue mosque and about 15-18mins to Topkapi palace. Breakfast was hot and miss no eggs or cereal on first day nor was any fruit provided. Breakfast menu is poor and inconsistent, mainly catered around turkish pallette , you'd think they'd cater a bit better considering virtually all guests were foreign. The front desk reception folk were good especially Fatima, whom with we had good banter, and she recommended some places to visit. Overall don't expect much other than a worn bed and shower at this hotel and enjoy the sites all within walking distance. Would I stay here again , NO will look elsewhere. Owner really needs to focus on bringing the standard up and possibly charging more ,which would have meant repeat custom from me, definitely not a three star however that's based on a Turkish scale. Oh and the lift says 4 persons but only three sticklebacks allowed. The roof top terrace is cafeteria, separate, but you feel compelled to purchase as the staff approach you. The location was the only saving grace and all the cute friendly cats roaming around everywhere.

The location is perfect, right behind the blue mosque, just that upon check in, the reception ask us to wait for them to finish their dinner only proceed with the check in, this is my first time ever met this kind of check in service. Other than that still good. Breakfast never change, my 5 nights staying end up breakfast elsewhere. Anyhow, it’s a good place to stay though

The hotel is located right on the Qibla side of the Sultan Ahmet Mosque, very close to historical sites. The rooms are clean and the staff is friendly. However, the breakfast is a bit subpar.

Nice and affordable hotel right in the central part of Sultanahmed, just a few steps away from the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. Nice location, with convenience store next door, many restaurant options and Tram Line 1 is just a 5 minutes walk. The room was ok and had a nice view and the breakfast was really good.

The owner is fantastic! On our first night, they specially provided us with a more spacious room with two large beds – it was a really thoughtful and free upgrade. The second night we moved to a smaller room with a double bed. It was really tiny, which I understand – businesses need to maximize their profits. But seriously, it was so small it was hard to turn around, basically just a partitioned space. The breakfast is hard to review; as an Asian, I'm not used to having bread and cold dishes in the morning, so I really couldn't eat much. The coffee was decent, though. Overall, the value for money is pretty good.

The location was the only positive aspect. The pictures they posted are completely misleading. The rooms are so small that two people cannot be in the room simultaneously, and the humidity makes it difficult to breathe. The room provided had no window. Furthermore, the noise from people walking and talking was intolerable. The only redeeming feature is the location; everything else was disappointing. For the price, it is entirely not worth it.

I booked a reservation. After checking the reviews on Google Maps, I decided not to go here. Saw that even the photos displayed are not authentic or true.
