Amazing, great location!

Nice food for breakfast, great service, provides daily room service. Staff are very friendly and they provide the essentials you need. Excellent location, very easy to walk to a lot of the tourist attractions

Probably one of the worst place i've ever been to! Staff is really condescending, they gave us a room that is not what we should have had!
I booked a luxury king size and we've been given a double bed in a very small room!
The air condition is just.... not working! In the first room, then in the other room for the second night it was the same.
Bathroom was dirty and barely working.
Fridge was not working in the first room.
My advice for the hotel: please improve your standards, this is really subpar! Or remove ''deluxe'' from the name...
My advice for tourists: leave this place for locals and find a better place, you want to keep a good memory of Istanbul !!

Overall rating 3,5/5

The location of the hotel is great – close to many attractions and public transport options. You can easily find everything you need nearby, including good food and shops. However, the hotel has no parking, and during the day it's very difficult to even briefly stop with a car in front of the hotel just to drop off luggage.

The reception was fair and professional, and all the staff were very kind and helpful.

The room itself was extremely small. We requested a double bed but received two single beds, which we had to push together ourselves. Cleanliness could definitely be improved.

The bathroom was in poor condition – the shower cabin leaked water all over the place, and after showering we couldn’t dry the floor without soaking all the towels.

The hotel has potential due to its location and friendly staff, but room quality and maintenance need attention.

The Holetel is clean, breakfast is ok, most of the employees are good, there was only one who kept talking in her own language inside the elevator, saying that the hand gel we were using was smelly, I thought it was rude and complained at the entrance desk, they apologized and said they would talk to her. But if I went back there I would stay there .

A very nice and comfortable hotel with a substantial breakfast area on the fifth floor. Cleanliness and hygiene standards are excellent. The hotel is situated just opposite the University and a short walk from two Metro stations, very conveniently located. In my opinion an evening dinner option at the hotel would be a nice touch, otherwise we had a very nice experience.

Good place for en-gross business, near Grand Bazaar (1 tram station only) and near Metro station.
Late check-out is a hoax. They advertise it, they agree upon it at check-in, then they cancel the late check-out agreement. (BTW. late check-out is only one hour more: from 12:00 to 13:00) .
Breakfast ok but stuff grumpy and nervous.

Nice hotel close to transport & shopping areas.

Had a great time in Istanbul. The reception staff very polite and helpful giving advice what to see and how to get to places.
The only thing I can say is breakfast buffet in morning was a huge let down. No pastries or fresh juice or very little variety of food available . Morning buffet staff never smile or say good morning. But apart from that a lovely experience and we made plenty of memories!

Nice hotel easy access to main attractions

We stayed in this hotel for 12 nights. The staff were super friendly and kind enough to help us with our uber drivers navigation. The breakfast buffet menu was lovely. However if you are used to british breakfast, do not expect baked beans :)
The hotel looks smaller than it is on the outside, but in a good location for markets and is two tram stops from sultanahmet (for nearby attractions).

As a family we enjoyed walking the area as it was busy but quiet

Wonderful Hotel

This hotel is by far the best I've stayed in. The hotel staff were very accommodating with all our requests. They are so lovely and helpful.
The room was perfect for my family and the location is excellent. Walking distance from all the main attraction like the blue mosque, grand bazaar, Hagia Sophia and topkapi. The metro and tram station are a few min walk from the hotel. I really recommend this hotel I wouldn't bother paying for an expensive hotel you are only paying for the name.
The only thing I didn't like is the breakfast it's all Turkish brekki. I prefer my toast and crossaints etc.

The hotel is located in a very good area, very close to the metro station and the tram stop. It is not a 4 star hotel if we compare it to the European standards, but a 3-star one. Towels and bedsheets are old and not perfectly clean and rooms are very small. Breakfast is abundant until 10 in the morning and the terrace on the 5th floor is amazing

Die Unterkunft ist ok . Die Zimmer werden gründlich gereinigt
Frühstück ist in Ordnung.
Personal freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Die Umgebung ist allerdings nicht ganz zu empfehlen. Das Hotel gegenüber war die Katastrophe. Die Partys im nachbar Hotel und der extreme Lärm war in der Nacht kaum auszuhalten. Trotz Beschwerde wurde leider nichts gemacht. Da die Hotels nebeneinander sind ist es entsprechend sehr sehr laut und das bis in die Morgenstunden.

Tram und u- Bahn sind nur pasr Minuten. Die Altstadt auch.

Der Transfer (dazu gebucht) ist überhaupt nicht zu empfehlen! Die Autos hatten keine Zulassung um in die Straße ( Hotel) reinzufahren somit rechnet mit einem weiten Fußweg zu Fuß zum Transfer

Gerne wieder

Zimmer relativ klein und hellhörig. Die Ausstattung ist aber grundsolide, die Betten bequem und das Badezimmer sauber. Die Lage ist perfekt. Sowohl die Metro als auch die Straßenbahn quasi vor der Haustür. Restaurants fußläufig erreichbar. Der große Basar und auch die Moscheen sind nur ein paar Minuten entfernt. Das Frühstücksbuffet ist schlicht aber ebenfalls ausreichend. Wir würden dieses Hotel vorbehaltlos nochmals buchen.

Muy buena relación calidad-precio.Muy bien situado

Hotel muy bien situado. A pie en paseos de una media hora de todos los atractivos principales de la ciudad (Mezquita Azul, Santa Sofia, Suleymaniye, Cisternas, puente de Galata, Grand Bazar...). Si no quieres andar tienes también todo el transporte publico cerca ;
- Estación de metro de Aksaray para el aeropuerto -Vezneciler, para acercarse hasta la de Marmaray en Yenikapy para coger el estación de metro que lleva al lado asiático o al puerto que van a la misma zona atravesando el Bósforo - Tranvia que te lleva por el centro Está en Zona comercial de tiendas textiles. Pegado a la universidad. Pegado al hotel tienes asi mismo (yendo hacia la zona de las universidades, cantidad de oferta de restaurantes para poder picar algo de comida rápida o comida tipica turca). El hotel está reformado en sus habitaciones, que no son amplias, pero tampoco son pequeñas para el estandar en la ciudad vieja. Zona bonita de comedor en la 5ª planta con vista a los tejados colindantes. Recepción sin pretensiones. Staff muy amable. Unica nota \"desfavorable\"; Desayuno buffé normalito. Con muy poca fruta (poco más que alguna manzana) y en los 2 dias que estuve repitieron el mismo. Volvere sin duda. Muy buena relación calidad-precio
