Guest Reviews

• Margo (2/5): Not what pictured - Reception and check in was great. The room was horrible. Very dirty, shower leaked all over the floor, TV falling off the wall, bed was literally flat. Reception area dirty and filled with packages. We had to check out after the first night. The area of the hotel was in the heart of the bizarre area and attractions. Working on my refund now but reception was understanding and did not dispute us having to leave
• Sara (6/5): - Staff was very kind. Hotel room was tiny with no place to hang up or put away clothes. Shower had black mold. Breakfast was fine. I did not get one night of decent sleepsince the other guests were so loud. I also suspect that guests were smoking in their rooms, as I could smell smoke in my room at night.
• Paola Denise Egido (4/5): - When I get the reservation, I was looking and trusting the pictures but those are not in real time. Pictures were taken in ages ago and the rooms are not maintained. The frames of the door are loose, the shower door missing the knots, the clogged drain. I stayed for 10 days, bed sheet were not changed even once. I have to ask for the chambermaid to do the bed and we’re not do it just take the bedspread and put it over. Really the hotel was in bad shape. In the morning, at 8:30 am, dining room was full of dirty dishes on all the tables. You have to move by yourself to get a table. They just take when breakfast was over at 10 am. The staff was generally gentle, even if they didn’t speak English, the take Google translate and they get the message. I won’t recommend
• Verified traveler (6/5): 3 étoiles juste parceque le service était bien. - Le personnel de l’accueil est vraiment très aimable et serviable, et nous avons même eu droit à un petit gâteau de bienvenue, ce qui nous a fait très plaisir. Merci beaucoup pour cette délicate attention. Cependant, voici les points que nous avons moins appréciés : 1. Les chambres ne sont pas bien isolées sur le plan acoustique. On entend beaucoup le bruit de la circulation et des conversations à l’extérieur, aussi bien le matin que le soir, ce qui rend le sommeil difficile. 2. L’entretien de la chambre laisse à désirer. En dehors du lit (qui n’était pas parfaitement fait) et du changement des serviettes, le ménage semblait incomplet. Même nos verres à café n’ont pas été remplacés ni lavés. 3. Le buffet du petit-déjeuner n’était pas très satisfaisant. Le pain était de qualité moyenne, il n’y avait pas de vrai café (seulement du café instantané à diluer dans de l’eau chaude), et le service manquait d’efficacité. À plusieurs reprises, il n’y avait plus de couverts, plus de pain, et les tables n’étaient pas débarrassées. Le personnel, malgré les caméras installées, ne venait pas spontanément, il fallait les appeler à chaque fois.
• ammar (8/5): - Some rooms need renovations
• Martin (10/5): - Super nice place, very clean, easy access, walkable to lots of restaurants, shopping area etc. the staff was amazing and very helpful, best place to stay in that area, will definitely be back. Thank you.
• Avs (10/5): - Bir haftadan uzun bir süre ikamet ettik gayet iyi geçti bizim için .
• Paul (10/5): - Value for money
• Rosario (2/5): - No like
• Paul (10/5): - Surprisinglg good at the price.
• Laura (8/5): Good place to stay - Clean, comfortable, very kind and helpful staff, close to Grand Bazaar and to the tram line Bathroom was very small, shower leaked onto floor
• Beyza nur (6/5): - 1-2 konaklama için ideal ancak sadece geceyi geçirmek için düşünenler tercih etsin. Kahvaltı çok kısıtlı, açık büfe değil, otoparkı yok, çok bi beklemtisi olmayıp merkezi konumda kalmak isteyen kişiler için ideal, ancak bence fiyat performansa göre pahalı kalmış.
• Salima (8/5): - The staff was helpful and the place was nice and clean.
• Gloria (8/5): - The hotel is very nice, the staff was very helpful all the time, breakfast was very good! Ergün was great with hospitality, everyday we came back from touring Istanbul, he was always there waiting with a big smile, he always recommended places to go eat, also we made us Turkish coffee every time, my only negative with the hotel was that there’s no elevator, even though the front desk staff was very helpful and took our suitcases up to our room, and they also brought them down.
• Katherine (10/5): - This is a very cute hotel off the main road so you are not bothered by the hassle and bustle of the city, but you are still close to all the action. I loved that everything I wanted to see was a short walk away. The staff is very welcoming and pleasant. I felt right at home. I will definitely come back
• Stephen (10/5): - Was in a great location for visiting the tourist sites. Ergun was great and helped us get settled.
• Muhammad ibrahim (10/5): Great Hotel near GB - Overall, excellent hotel near the Grand Bazaar. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Room was clean, amazing food all around within 1 minute walk. Would definitely recommend if you want to stay near the Bazaar.
• Sonny (2/5): No make it one except closest to attractions! - No extra shell space, no napkins napkin & extra cabbage can, no cup for brushing, no self-control air/hot conditioning. No extra space/shell in toilet, Not enough clothing space/hanger! Carpet is torned.
• Amina (6/5): - The hotel is located at a workable distance to the Grand Bazaar and accessible to Eminonu by tram. The hotel staff are friendly and helpful. The amenities are required to be upgraded.
• BRANDON (10/5): Great location! - Great stay in a great location. Hotel is older, but nice. Great breakfast and awesome staff! For the rate, you can't beat it. Love the hospitality of this hotel!
• Bingda (10/5): - It's amazing. The room is clean and cozy. Breakfast is perfect for someone who loves simple and healthy diet
• Mikko (8/5): Cozy little hotel near the bazar and moskes - Two nights in a cozy hotel - good bed, shower, great service and location.
• Aaron (10/5): - Friendly staff and excellent location
• Alun (10/5): - Great location and very accomodating
• Derek (8/5): - Great location, very good service. Room was dated but clean and comfortable. A great stay.
• Csaba (10/5): - This hotel provides a pleasant, authentic Istanbul experience. Located on a narrow street (don’t even dream about parking) within walking distance of all types of shopping opportunities. We felt safe and welcome here, will return.
• Wassim (4/5): - Staff were really good and helpful. Breakfast was good as well. The issue was the small room size, it is difficult to move around the room as there is limited free space.
• Maryam (2/5): - we did not like the state of the property room was not cleaned smell of cigarette and bathroom was blocked , bedding was not really cleaned and there was kettle, or coffee, just some bottle of water, overall disappointed.
• RAJA (8/5): - Property is very close to all the attractions. It was clean and the front desk people were helpful. Shower in my room was terrible, water was dripping from the shower and it would take forever to wash. Breakfast was hopeless. However, they had coffee 24 hrs and it was nice.
• Adriano (6/5): Um bom hotel com excelente café da manhã - O Elyka hotel está muito bem localizado em Istambul próximo a diversos pontos de interesse (Grand Bazar, Mesquita Azul, Hagia Sophia, Palácio Topkapi, etc). Contudo, existem pontos positivos e outros negativos que merecem ser destacados. Pontos positivos: A localização é muito boa e acessível a pé para quem chega no aeroporto Internacional de Istambul. O metrô sai de dentro do aeroporto e deixa a cerca de 10 minutos (Estacão M2 Vezneciler) caminhando do hotel (caminhada tranquila e segura). A cama e o chuveiro são muito bons, proporcionam excelente descanso). O café da manhã é MUITO BOM! Tem tudo que você precisa para um belo dia de turismo e caminhada. Adoramos o café! Pontos negativos: O quarto (pelo menos o nosso) tem carpete no chão. Quem em pleno ano de 2024 mantém carpete no chão? Além de um leve cheiro de “sujeira”, claramente acumula muito pó. Outro ponto negativo é a falta de comunicação fluente da equipe em inglês. Apesar de ser algo comum na turquia (os turcos falam muito mal a língua inglesa), me parece falta de dedicação você não saber o básico para se comunicar com seus clientes (certamente a maioria é estrangeiro). Fora isso, recomendo sim o Elyka Hotel pois trata-se de excelente custo-benefício.
• John (6/5): OK - The room was rather small and a bit run down. I had to fix the shower head. The curtains were ill-fitting and needing repair. The finish carpentry in places looked like it was done with a hatchet. The good part was the staff was friendly. The gal attending the breakfast servive was proud and aimed to please. The location was OK. I think your could do better for the money. There are thousands of hotels in this area.
• Tajrin (2/5): - The hotel was terrible. It was dirty and smelly. Smelled of damp and cigarettes. The house keeping was poor they didn’t change bed sheets properly did not clean the bathroom. There was rubbish right outside the hotel. The hotel was really noise they allowed smoking inside the hotel which came in through the air con. This was not a child friendly hotel. The breakfast was limited and poor. Old milk put out gave my child a bad stomach. Would not recommend
• Andria (8/5): - Great location
• Milos (8/5): - Staff are good people
• Lori (8/5): - Staff is extremely helpful and friendly. Location is very. Convenient. Room was clean. The hotel also has a shipping business which was sometimes noisy.
• Faisal (10/5): - We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the staff at the hotel were very friendly and willing to help. Even though not everyone speaks English but that was not an issue as they are quick to use a translation app to communicate when necessary. The breakfast was very good and even though unattended, they were very quick to replenish when requested. We had an early flight so they willingly started the breakfast service early to accommodate us which was very much appreciated. The property is a bit dated and some areas need uplifting but that did not impact our stay and we will happily go back. Highly recommended and thank you to everyone at the hotel to make our stay a very comfortable one.
• Chun Wai (10/5): - Nice location and is close to the bazaar. The staffs are nice and the price is reasonable in terms of quality.
• Gursel (10/5): - This beautiful little guest house was just lovely The staff made me feel so special I received the utmost care I cannot fault this hotel I’m coming back Thank you for a wonderful experience
• Rosa (10/5): - Location
• Rosa (10/5): - Location
• Edwin (10/5): - Nice location, nice staff, nice breakfast, room small but for the occasion was good. Highly recommend.
• Lijo (10/5): - Very friendly staff
• MD NAWROJ (8/5): - Nice hotel
• Abimbola (10/5): - I had a very enjoyable stay at Elyka Hotel. It’s a 10 room, family run hotel, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel was also very clean. No complaints. Being in a central area has its ups and downs - easy to get everywhere and good transport links, but also the surrounding area was very chaotic and busy. This does not detract from the Hotel. Itself.
• Thiago (8/5): - Well located
• Nina (10/5): - All was good.
• WHITTNEY (8/5): - The pictures are very accurate. Rooms are small but you have all that you need.
• Simon (8/5): Good location... - A great location and very friendly and helpful staff. Room was very small but was mostly functional. Living out of bags as the wardrobe was full of the secure safe and non-funtioning fridge. Bathroom again functional with the shower hanging from the tube as the wall bracket was broken. Lean and plenty of towels when asked for. Do not book the airport pickup as they charge €60 with the actual fare being half that. Hope you like stairs, and the breakfast is very nice and plentiful.
• Varney (10/5): A wonderful-family oriented accommodation. - It is always good staying at Elyka hotel Istanbul. They are very much accommodating and are always willing to assist in any way possible. Breakfast isn’t elaborate but is always available. The rooms are clean. I can recommend this establishment to anyone at anytime.
• Shadab (10/5): - The staff went above and beyond to address all my concerns and the property is conveniently located near all the tourist attractions. Highly recommended and would stay here again. Thanks.
• Laith (8/5): - Located in a good area
• Julio Cesar (2/5): - Very bad conditions, air conditioning broken.
• SANGWON (10/5): Great, clean yet affordable hotel near all sites - This place is clean, place is right behind Grand Bazaar, and also close to the tram station, which gives you access to every famous site to visit in Istanbul! Hotel staff are kind and help you, and you can communicate with them in English (you will be surprised that in Turkey, most do not speak English at all) Staffs are available 24/7 even it is a small hotel.
• Adisa (10/5): Close to everything - Everybody was so nice
• leon (10/5): - Great place to stay. Everything was within walking distance and the staff were very helpful
• Virginie (8/5): Très charmant - Très charmant et typique le personnel est fort sympathique bien que peu souriant. La sale de bain serait à rafraîchir. Les femmes de chambre sont des plus adorable serviable à l’écoute et très agréable. Le petit déjeuner savoureux même si la salle est bien trop climatisé il y fait froid.
• Dayana (10/5): - Around is not tourist friendly
• Faisal (8/5): - This hotel is at a good location and you can walk to different places. The staff is very nice and friendly and always willing to help. This hotel does not have elevator, so be very mindful when you bring your luggage. I had to carry 8 suitcases to 3rd floor. There was a lot of outside noise because there are shops and workshops around. The room and bathrooms need some upgrades. You cannot compare this hotel with other hotels in Europe or USA but this is a good option if you have a low budget. My recommendation to management is that do some upgrades. I highly appreciate the staff.
• Sahil (10/5): - The hosts were really nice, kind and helpful. The breakfast was a decent spread. The property is central and close to Grand bazaar, blue mosque and hagia Sophia. Tram station is a 6 minute walk. The only downside is absence of lift but hosts are very helpful with moving the luggage.
• MengJung (10/5): - Loved the location and the friendly staff - they have been very helpful and make sure my stay was as pleasant as it could be. I will be looking forward to staying again the next time I’m in Istanbul.
• Amy (10/5): - Close location to transportation and major attractions in Old Town and lots of food/shopping options. Only down part was the bed wasn’t super comfy and the bathroom was kind of small but hotel is definitely worth the price.
• Sarrina (10/5): - Near the grand bazaar and Hagia Sofia. Staff were very good and helpful. Room was very clean.
• Kevin (10/5): - Staff was excellent and the location is a very central part of the old city. Getting to the property and getting out of the property location is recommended to be done by taxi given how tight and busy the streets are around it. The property was very good about getting the taxi service for us on arrival and departure and we didn’t have to walk any distance with our bags. If you are looking for a luxury resort, you’re on the wrong side of the Bosphorus, but if you want an authentic and central location that is safe and clean and allows for you to walk to all prime locations, this is an excellent choice.
• Daniel (10/5): - This a great place to stay while in Istanbul. The rooms were very clean, the bed was comfortable and the staff was very friendly. I would highly recommend staying there.
• Daniel (10/5): - Friendly staff and prime location—great quality for price overall
• RUSTU BORA (10/5): Birçok açıdan yeterli bir otel - Bir iş seyahati için bir gün kaldım. Kaldığım oda temizlik ve konfor açısından benim için yeterliydi. Personel güler yüzlü ve yardımcıydı. Lokasyon olarak birçok turistik bölgeye yakın.
• Yannick (10/5): Great Location - Walking distance to Sultanahmet and grand Bazaar.
• Praveen (2/5): - Hotel is basic no AC and internet is so bad. As this center of old town you won’t get taxi roads are closed the stay so bad I have to pay full and find alternative stay. Front desk staff is good
• Swee Chuan (10/5): Perfect little hotel at a good location - Just stayed one night, the recipient were awesome, I met 3 different, all of them are friendly and helpful. the room is small, but complete with safe box, fridge and TV. just good enough for a good night sleep. room is clean and quiet at night. perfect. definitely recommended for traveller. The location is just nice with T1 tram just few minutes walk away (up hill).
• josmar (10/5): - People were excellent !
• Kendy (10/5): - I LOVE IT.
• Olga (10/5): - The staff goes above and beyond for the guests!
• Verified traveler (8/5): Good location, nice hotel with great breakfast - Staff was great. Breakfast was extremely good with breads; COOKIES; cereal; large delicious selection of cheeses; hard boiled and scrambled eggs; always 2 types of protein like sausages; etc plus coffee, teas and juice Ring Room was serviceable but very small as it had a full sized bed in a room that should have a single bed. In order to open the closet, my carry on bag had to be moved then I couldn't leave the room without moving the bag back to in front of the closet and so forth. Good thing I did not have a larger bag! The sink was wedged in between the shower and the wall that required one foot in the shower to be in front of the sink! Good toiletries. The small table and chair was appreciated and particularly appreciated having an in room safe. No elevator which wasn't a problem for me but may be for others. Definitely not an accessible hotel as there are around 10 stair steps getting the street to enter the hotel besides not having an elevator. It was a good value and extremely well located, 15 minute walk to the Blue Mosque and Sofia mosque. I would stay there again.
• Trisha (10/5): - The staff was very nice, the beds were comfortable, and the breakfast was fantastic!
• Thuan (10/5): - Staff is excellent The shower doors are not tightly closed, causing water to leak through and wet the floor
• Mohammad (8/5): - The tiniest room i have ever stayed, it didn't have space for my carry-on luggage. To go to the washroom i had get hit by the TV every time because no space. In the picture room looked big but i got deceived. To go to the hotel you have to walk quite a bit downhill and to exit climb uphill, no way to take your luggage on the rugged road. I had to store my large luggage at my previous hotel. Good breakfast, very friendly reception worker.
• Alexander (10/5): - Great location, clean, very helpful staff. Overall great value for the money
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The staff we met upon arrival was helpful and friendly. He was kind enough to give us a bigger room. The evening staff was also very friendly. Housekeeping made sure the room was in good shape. Great communication prior to arrival. My only complaint was the airport transfer. We had a very early flight out so we took advantage of the fact the hotel could book us a transfer rather than grab a taxi or Uber. We even asked for the pick up time to be earlier than what we needed. That said, the transfer was still was 15 minutes late. I cannot be mad at hotel for the transfer problem. I think it was a great location as well.
• Rodi (10/5): - Good place and very helpful staff
• Abraham (10/5): - This place is awesome, walking distance to almost anything that you would need including the bazaar just 5 minutes walk, this stay it felt like I’m staying with family, the staff just incredible friendly and helpful, the staff I have met: Gamze, Sinan and Berk now they my friends, management also great people and just the smile always there, I felt so happy staying at Elyka and for sure my next trip in about a month I will stay there, I really recommend this place to anyone.
• Kamaran (10/5): - I absolutely loved my stay at Elyka Hotel in Turkey! I frequent Turkey, and among all the hotels I've visited, this has been the most delightful experience. The staff was incredibly friendly, ensuring a pleasant stay. They even treated me to Turkish sweets called Lokum. During my first reservation, I enjoyed a spacious room, while the second one, though only for a day, was a bit tight on space. Nonetheless, the overall experience exceeded my expectations, and I felt I got more than what I paid for. Special kudos for the diverse and delicious breakfast spread. Well done to everyone at Elyka Hotel!
• Justin (10/5): - This simple hotel was perfect for my stay. The staff was very friendly and helpful. My room was clean and my bed was comfortable. It was a short walk to the tram T1 and the Grand Bazaar.
• Angela (10/5): Great location - Great location for walking to sites (esp Grand Bazaar) or taking the train. Very nice reception staff who were eager to help. Good WiFi. The family room was more like a small apartment and plenty of room for our family. Recommend you take taxi to hotel as no onsite public parking (was about 5-10 min walk up hill.). Recommend you do not drive in Istanbul unless you are a native and used to very aggressive driving. It was crazy, but great hotel.
• Salman (10/5): Close to historic district - Really good value. Nice, clean room, real bed and breakfast feel. Excellent location: 5 min walk to Grand Bazaar and the tram, 15-20 min walk to Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. For sightseeing it was perfect. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The daily breakfast is a great spread.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Lack of good Sleep. - The Staff at the hotel were amazing but what let them down was the cleanliness. The wasn't rubbish on the floor, it was the fact that the carpets hadn't had a good wash in a very long and my baby playing in the floor meant she ended up having dirty hands and feet. The second thing that let the hotel down was the walls, floor, ceiling and windows are very thin and you can hear everything in other rooms so we didn't sleep well. Finally the last thing which wasn't the hotels fault were the Eastern Europeans staying in the hotel slamming doors at all hours of the night which woke up my baby, shouting when they were talking until 12/1am in the morning.
• Jimmy (10/5): Outstanding Staff and Service - First off, the service was outstanding! They go above and beyond for you. From the cleaning staff, to reception, it was consistent attention and care. That alone makes your stay splendid. The location is great for tourists. It is a very short walk to the Grand Bazaar, and walkable distance to other major touristy spots. There is a tram 2 blocks up to the main street that will take you to other major touristy spots. And it is cheap. For a more seasoned tourist, it may not be the best as you will be in a commercial area ful of life. The room itself was spacious and clean. As well as comfortable and well equipped. The bathroom has a faint smell but I think it's a plumbing issue. Nothing that a little oil scent couldn't fix. The breakfast buffet is amazing and it has quite tasty food that will get you going for the day.
• Christina (10/5): - When the staff heard that I was travelling to Istanbul for my birthday, they surprised with a birthday cake upon my arrival. They were all very lovely, helpful people.
• raymond (10/5): - It is a good hotel. Light was not working in the bathroom. Good breakfast.
• rabbani (10/5): - Very friendly!
• Giselle (8/5): - Great location close to attractions, many by walking or others by tram. In walking distance to the grand bazar and blue mosque. Lot’s of variety for breakfast.
• Hanzla Ejaz (10/5): - Great place if you want to near the tourist attractions, dining and shopping areas. Enjoyed our trip
• Andrew (8/5): Cheap and cheerful - Great location near all the major sites. Minor street noise, unavoidable cat fights, delivery mopeds, daybreak call to prayer, etc. My room was basic and a little cramped but adequate. Only two Turkish channels on TV. Staff friendly and breakfast decent.
• Eniola (10/5): - All staffs were great, helpful and eager to help even outside their job scope
• yuly (8/5): - Great and helpful staff, convenient location, good breakfast.
• Bakhtovar (10/5): - Good hotel in nice location
• Mohammad (10/5): - I traveled with my kids in June the staff was so friendly and helpful,the family suite was very clean and I loved the breakfast.The guys at front desk were super helpful I will definitely recommend staying here.😊
• Tugrul (8/5): - Breakfast, staff, location are highlights. Great value for price
• Florence (10/5): - This hotel is amazing very clean and staffs are very caring and friendly 👌. I recommend this hotel as 5 star breakfast is amazing but not dinner. I feel welcomed in this hotel room is big especially bed. Internet connection very good. This hotel is close to many shops such as bags, shoes and sunglasses. I will go back again in this hotel amazing staff the can speak English language. Cameras is everywhere for safety. Thanks Elyka hotel 🏨 for caring and friendly see you soon in December maybe next year. I miss already this hotel in Turkey 5 minutes walk to grand bazaar istanbul
• Reynaldo Thadeus Jr. (10/5): - My recent 9-day stay at Elyka Hotel was nothing short of amazing. Its proximity to a multitude of shops (the Grand Bazaar was only steps away) and restaurants was a huge bonus. Their central location afforded convenient access to the T1 tram line. They also offered a free breakfast buffet which was sumptuous and filling. The staff was very courteous, helpful and knowledgeable. Sinan in particular went out of his way a couple of times to assist me in navigating this magnificent metropolis. I truly appreciate his kindness and professionalism as it was my first visit to wonderful Istanbul. I will definitely return (perhaps during a much cooler season) and stay at Elyka again.
• Katherine (10/5): Great Stay! - The staff was amazing all around. Our flight arrived at 1am and service was waiting for our arrival to check in even though their checkin ends at midnight. The location is great, near to eating and shopping. Nice and complete breakfast included. Beds and room were comfortable. No complaints! Thank you!
