Guest Reviews
- Neil (10/5): - Business trip. Location great for this, restaurants close by.
- Sonya (2/5): - Room looked nice but AC and shower didn’t work properly. Power also went out just in our room for several hours. The staff was horrible - unfriendly and very put off to help, especially Athena at the front desk. The hotel also is advertised as having a pool but the pool was closed. Overall I had a horrible experience and would no recommend this hotel!
- ROMAIN (10/5): - Super je recommande grandement
- Darius Adam Caleb (6/5): - Great staff and very clean. But the area is just bad, it will make you have a bad impression of Istanbul which I had initially. Cheap clothes from China being overpriced and very bad food. The area you should go for is Taksim. Taksim is where you should visit in Istanbul.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Tourist trap - The pool was off limits and the gym was not working, tourist trap, the staff where unhelpful…
- Eva (2/5): - Not according to the pictures and a big lie. Pool doesn't exist The room is very small as soon as you open the door, half a meter, the bed. My advice to anyone who wants to book this hotel is a big no. I was extremely disappointed and not valued for money. It's a ripped off. Never again
- Recep (10/5): Awesome - I love this hotel and stay there every time I visit Istanbul.Reasonable price for Aksaray ,the rooms are very clean and have all you need .super close to historic attractions and easy access to most places in Istanbul. Most importantly what I like about the good hotel is All the staff were really friendly and happy to help regardless of time the team on reception are so nice and accommodating.A big thank you to Mehmet for looking after me during my stay. I will be back!
- Sue (10/5): - The staff were very helpful. The front desk people had good English which helped as negotiate Istanbul on our own! Breakfast had a variety of options.
- Muhammad (8/5): - Hotel is nice close to shop trams staff was brilliant.
- Recep (10/5): Excellent - Excellent hotel, very helpful staff , definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for great hotels stay in İstanbul. All staff are 10 out of 10 Great experience
- EMMAD (4/5): - Staff were not friendly and communications were not the best due to language barrier. Room service was not always available (one day our room was not cleaned at all!!). Bathroom was old and not enough supplies in it (you must order continuously). Location was close to the market which is convenient.
- Laura Sonia (4/5): - Mal placé, sale, emplacement dangereux
- Alpha (10/5): - The hotel staff were excellent. Very friendly and always helpful.
- Esmail (4/5): - بالنسبة لفندق بي لوفت بورصا كانت جيدة والموظفين بالفندق متعاونين وخصوصا موظفي الاستقبال والفندق جيد من حيث الخدمة والموقع
- Nahar (10/5): - I loved the staff and the employees behavior
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Posizione ok Camera da schifo Frigorifero non raffredda ma riscalda
- Verified traveler (4/5): - الفندق قديم وليس كما هو موضح في الصور كنت ارغب بالغاء الحجز اول ما وصلت ولكن المعامله الجيده وجدا وفوق الممتازه لذلك اقمت ٥ ليالي وكانت الخدمه ممتازه جدا جدا واسلوب الاحترام فوق الطبيعي وكان الاكل ممتاز ولكن كل شيء قديم واحذروا الصور
- Archana (2/5): - Receptionist behaviour poor he fight with any client suspend the license of Istanbul trend hotel poor experience
- Mamoun (8/5): Nice hotel - Very good location, clean comfortable.will stay there again.
- Anna (10/5): Great hotel with am amazing pool! - Lovely stay. Nice clean comfortable rooms and very friendly and helpful staff whom answered all of our questions. Beautiful rooftop pool with an amazing view. Also close to the tramvay -local public transport. Would stay again! 10/10!
- Antoniella (10/5): - Super petit Hôtel avec Piscine ouverte . Super Personnel et Propriétaire. Très bien situé .Tram à 200m, A recommander. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir.
- PETRI (6/5): Terrible service, bad service attitude. - Extremely small boxy room, window towards the ventilation ducts. Like a prison cell. The worst though was the reception's attitude about my complaint of extremely slow wifi, that kept constantly dropping me out of network and required a new sign in. When I went to the reception to complain, they didn't understand much English or any other language than Turkish and when I was finally able to explain the problem for me, they took my phone out of my hand without asking and started to mess with the settings. They were also very rude, loud and aggressive in behavior. Then some kind of manager arrived and with his bad English showed his phone and his Speedtest results explaining to me, that the fault is on my phone. Well, it's not. I'm an IT pro, and their network is just wrongly configured. So if you need to work there online, stay away. You will not get any help from them. I didn't experience any of that in other hotels in Istanbul.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Le seul plus c’est le fait que l’hôtel soit bien situé , mais nous n’avons profiter d’aucun service de lhotel car les photos montrent du rêve et je place c'est totalement différent
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Everything was great,i will definitely recommend the hotel for my friends
- Verified traveler (6/5): - L’hotel était moyennement propre, le personnel pas très gentil mais le quartier dans lequel l’hotel était situé, était proche de tout.
- Bolor-Erdene (6/5): Small room - Room was TINY
- Johan (6/5): Istanbul weekend - Poolen var iskall Ingen höjdarfrukost precis, ena dagen var äggen slut andra dagen fanns det ingen Juice.
- JOHN (8/5): A Gem in Istanbul - Hotel Istanbul Trend has the appearance of being new; perhaps then it is not too old. The breakfast was sufficient with limited choice. Its location was fantastic. It is possible to visit all sights on foot and dispense with public transport and taxis all together. If however one is wanting transport, then the Metro and tram lines are just minutes away, as are buses and the Yenikapi ferry terminal. The hotel has 2 pools, one of which is rooftop. For the small price paid compared to other hotels in the area this was the icing on the cake. With a free sauna and a pay extra massage service this hotel was great.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Not bad - The hotel is not bad but the area is a very cheap area. It is a clean hotel but the single room are really small with very narrow beds
- Ismahan (4/5): - On a été dans cet hôtel en famille avec mon mari et mes 2 enfants. À l’arrivée on nous a mis dans une chambre avec 3 lits simples alors qu il y avait un couple et n’ont pas souhaité nous changer de chambre par la suite . Points négatifs : hôtel bruyant ( discothèques toute la nuit à proximité), petit déjeuner non varié, petite piscine, pas de parasols, personnels non sympathiques. Points positifs : proximité avec le tram Conclusion : je déconseille cet hôtel.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - a very small bed not comfortable mattress . smal tv . unclear channels . no kettler no drink water . and one of the staff ask us to pay $ 10 to make belman help with a small cargo while taxi to a far away area could charge 4 to 5 USD .. not a good experience .
- Verified traveler (8/5): Hotel review - Good food, the room gets hot because we need to take the key out when we leave
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Fantastic breakfast. Good location. Friendly and helpful staff.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - the roof top pool realy helps in relaxing the fitness centre needs more machines and weights the guys in reception are pleasant and helpfull.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Alles gut...nur Nachbarzimmer sehr laut. Personal sehr freundlich
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Buffet simple non varié..dommage pour un 4 etoiles...personnel au petits soins malgré toute
- Seungbo (4/5): Noise - I don't want to recommend it to anyone who wants a quiet place.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - great hotel great staff, great location, recommended for family
- Verified traveler (8/5): Clean, quiet, decent - Hotel is in a busy area which is safe. Room was clean and modern. Bathrooms / towels all clean. Staff friendly and efficient. Perfect for an overnighter. Excellent WiFi. Good breakfast.
- Shaimaa (8/5): - Bra!
- Verified traveler (2/5): - Det er maks til 2* og ikke 4 stjernet det væreste beliggendhed samt nabo diskoteket spiller HØJT musik til kl 04 hver nat som i hver eneste nat
- Veronica (10/5): - Trevligt hotell! Trevlig personal och bra läge
- Carl (8/5): A week in Istanbul - Comfortable hotel in a great location. 2 bed suite was clean, spacious and well-furnished. Staff were always friendly and eager to help. Roof top pool offered a great view of the city.
- Kaisa (10/5): Great hotel in great location - Hotel location is very good. Near to hotel is many restaurants and shops.Hotel seems quite old but very clean and employees are helpful and proffessional. Especially I liked swimming pool in roof where is wonderful view to the sea and old town. Room was good, bed and pillow was super comfortable. Breakfast was tasty but every day the same, when you are staying there more than one night then it could be boring to eat every day the same breakfast. But overall hotel was very good. I recommend.
- Verified traveler (6/5): All good - Went to Istanbul with parents, they left a day early so I needed a hotel to crash in for an additional day so booked this as it was cheap. Room was nice, hotel was decent for price with breakfast included. Breakfast was packed in the morning so I decided to go out and eat. Overall value for money
- Farid (6/5): Not bad - Not bad
- CARLOS ALFREDO (8/5): Volvería - Muy buen desayuno y atención, habitación amplia y cerca del metro y tren lo único malo que fuman dentro del hotel y habitaciones entonces huele mucho a cigarrillo pero es la cultura de la ciudad
- Maxti (6/5): - It's a good hotel in good place but WiFi connection was bad
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Clean and helpful staff close to aksar tram and yenikapi train
- Verified traveler (4/5): مقبول - طاقم الفندق تعامله سيء، وانتبهوا من المشروبات في الثلاجة، لانهم يطلبوا منك دفع مشروبات لم تسربها.
- Stipe (6/5): good location, but problems with wifi - problems with wifi. Wifi were available only at the lobby reception but not in my room.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Safety! - We got robbed just outside the hotel and hotel personal didn't even call the police and we asked repeatedly. They didn't warn us about the neighborhood. Later when we was in police station, they warned us. DON'T USE ATMs outside hotel. There are guys who try to rob you and this is very organized. I don't recommend this hotel
- Muhammad (6/5): Average hotel and services - The hotel overall was a 3*. Room was average size and location was in the city centre with plenty of noise about. Not.enough to disturb though. The tram stop was rwo min walk away for all the local attractions and lots of restaurants to choose from close by. The hotel staff were extremely accommodating and friendly. Rasul the night manager was our favourite. In terms of cleanliness there were a few let downs like the toilet brush looked like it was extremely old and I don't even want to describe the dirt in and around that. Services were lacking where there was no tea and coffee making facilities in the room. This was especially a problem for me as I needed a constant supply of boiled water for my 3 month old infants milk. There was no iron in the room or to borrow from the front desk so I had to send our clothes out to get ironed from the local laundrette which meant more cost. Oh and the TV only had news in English the rest of the channels were pretty much Turkish. I did like the power shower very spacious and clean.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - A 24 hour stopover on my way to Ankara. The hotel is right in the middle of Lalalei and perfect for my business. The hotel staff were very helpful.
- paonosuke (8/5): 市街へのアクセス・空港からのアクセスに便利な場所 - 空港からも地下鉄１本で来れて、新旧市街へのアクセスもわかりやすいターミナル駅のYenikapi駅の近くなので、活動拠点としてとても便利です。ホテルの周辺には夜まで開いているお店やレストランがたくさんあって、とても快適に過ごすことができました。ちょっとだけ気になるのは、夜中、近所にすごい顔した売春婦のおばちゃんたちが立っているので、びっくりしますが、決して治安が悪いと感じるエリアではありません。
- Andrei (8/5): - Исторический центр - удобно. В номере чисто.
- mohammed (8/5): hotel bien situé, équipé, personnels accueillants - A part le premier jour ou il y'avait un problème de réservation, ce qui nous a obligé à passer la première nuit dans un autre hôtel (très moyen). Notre hôtel est accueillant personnels sympathiques la chambre confortable ect
- Verified traveler (6/5): Helt greit. - Helt greit hotell. Fint basseng på taket. Ikke særlig høy kvalitet på spa-avdelingen. Ligger i et fint område på dagtid, men ikke på nattestid. God frokost.
- alex (4/5): très très bruyant - bonne qualité et prestation de l'hôtel de façon général, mais chambre donnant sur la rue ou il y a une discothèque avec prostituée et très très bruyant. obligé de dormir avec les boules quies toute la nuit (musique même après 2h du matin!!) literie peu confortable matelas trop mou pas de plan de la ville gratuit! petit déjeuner classique avec jus de fruit "chimique" et pas de chocolat chaud
- Tomas (8/5): Hotel mit gutem Service in lauter Umgebung - Hotel mit extrem guter ÖPNV Anbindung und gutem Service. Umgebung laut, so dass die Fenster oft nicht afgemacht werden konnten.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Hotel ist O.k. würde es aber nicht weiterempfehlen. Die Gegend ist eher eher rough. In erster Linie russische Gäste, die Textilien in im Distict einkaufen. Personal war freundlich.
- Imad (2/5): Do not go there, poor quality, staff have no clue - or understand much English. No internet connection when you complaint they keep saying they will reset the rooter but it never happens. Very rude with no customer services. Area/location of the hotel is very doggy and low class. Address on website is 2 streets away. Stay away. Definitely no 4 star service something around the 1 star max. I visited Istanbul on the 1-8 March 2014 was meant to be a week break to enjoy Istanbul and it was spoiled by the hotel.
- A Al (4/5): Disappointed - Very small room Tiny no room to move No iron No kettle Views horrible on the services shaft I booked double room and when checked in they reception argued and wanted to give me s single room Location is handy for attractions and tram but the street is full of night clubs Internet was awfull
- Verified traveler (8/5): Good hotel for family and reasonable price. - Hotel location is walking distance or few stops to most tourist attractions, especially Grand Bazar, Blue Mosque and etc. Also closer Tram station.
- TB (6/5): Noisy music - Well, we did get soem sleep on the 3rd night! The rooms on the back of the hotel are next to a noisy bar that plays music until 3am. The rooms on the front face a busy highway.The staff tried hard, but sadly this is one hotel I will never be revisiting - I like to get some sleep.
- Andres (6/5): Could had been better! - The neighborhood is not nice, but is well located, near the old part of the city and very near the transfer, that is a very good way to move around the city. The walls of the room were so thin, that we had a hard time to fall asleep because there was a baby crying and talking until late at night in the next room, and in the other room someone had the tv on and very loud until very late! The people at the Hotel were very nice, but the person at the front desk made us fall into a tourist trap. When we arrive, we asked if they could ask for a taxi to go and have something to eat. He answered: "Why take a taxi, there is a very nice place to eat and they pick you up for free!" After a very, very long trip to arrive, we couldn´t think very clearly and we accepted. It was the most expensive meal that we had in all our trip! We even went to London, eat well and cheaper!
- Verified traveler (8/5): Hotel Trend - Friendly helpful staff. Room was small but had everything we needed.
- A. (2/5): Pool closed, double booked, noisy. - Disappointing: the outdoor pool and terrace are closed to guests. Was double booked and moved to a worse hotel for the first day. Room was tiny, dark and looked out on a wall an AC unit - no direct daylight. The nights were noisy from the loud music bars immediately outside. Be prepared to be harassed by the neighbouring bar owners every time you enter and leave the hotel.
- Verified traveler (6/5): so so Hotel - The room was great. Bed was very comfy. Clubs a cross the Hotel was very loud and music was blaring all nite and if you rae a light sleeper you'll be up all night. The personel at front desk where rude and not very friendly and barely spoke english. I've stayed in several boutiques hotels in Istanbul and by far this was my least favorite.
- Rashmi (8/5): Istanbul Trend - Clean and good location - The cleanliness of the hotel and room was fantastic. It had great amenities, like very comfortable beds (the most comfortable I experienced in Europe and Turkey!), wonderful breakfast buffet and spa (sauna). However, the attitude of the people behind the front desk left something to be desired. They were not friendly, and they acted put out by my asking directions and for help to navigate around the area. When we first arrived, we were not greeted, and were told to wait a few minutes in a perfunctory manner. We waited nearly 30 minutes to get checked into our room! I would recommend the hotel based on the cleanliness and other amenities, but not because of the service.
- Niki (6/5): Great location - The location of this hotel is excellent---close walk to nearly all the must-see sights in Istanbul including Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace and the light rail train (which will take you everywhere). The rooms are small but comfortable--only problem is that you can't have the air conditioning/electricity running while you're not in the room (you need to use your room card and they only give you one). The best part was the rooftop pool with an incredible view of the city, it's just worth it to stay for that! A few complaints we had were that the "fitness center" is really just two treadmills in the basement and right above it is the smoking section. Also, the pool opens at 11:30 am and only stays open until 8 pm. The staff are very friendly but it would be helpful to know Russian not just for this hotel but for Istanbul overall! There is no parking at the hotel though there is a nearby garage, but it is around 25TL per day. Breakfast was pretty good---standard buffet with lots of variety for all tastes. Overall, if you're looking for a great location (especially at night when the city comes alive) and don't need to work out during your stay, this is a good hotel!
- Liz (6/5): OK but could find better - The hotel is located in an area between two busy roads so there is lots of traffic and noise throughout the day and night. There are few places to eat nearby so you need to walk some distance, which is difficult late at night when you are on your own. The roof terrace is a bit jaded and not very inviting. On the up side, the reception staff are exceptionally helpful, the rooms are clean and modern and there is a varied breakfast buffet available. It about 20 mins walk into the main historical district, but the grand bazaar and other mosques are closeby. For the price, it is OK but not sure I would stay here again if I went back to Istanbul (which is a fab city!)
- Jennifer (10/5): Will be going back! - The hotel was super, it was clean, welcoming, nice size indoor pool, very comfy beds we both slept well. Breakfast in the morning was nice aswell a good variety and choice. Is located 5 mins walk away from the nearest metro train station too.
- Ramya&Kashyap (8/5): Istanbul in December 2010 - Hotel Istanbul Trend was a comfortable and cozy hotel in a convenient location to explore most major tourist attractions in Istanbul. Being near the Aksaray and Lalleli metro/ tram stations, it offered a good connectivity to the airport as well as Beyoglu, Taksim square, Blue mosque, Grand Bazar, Spice Bazar etc. Facilities were good - functional pool and good breakfast with friendly staff.
- Shah (8/5): I would reccommend it - Staff at the hotel were very welcoming and helpful. Romms were always cleaned on time. However, their room service need to more efficient so people do not have to wait 1 hour for a coffee.
- Ruth (8/5): Modern and professional - Very nice hotel with modern facilities. Room was light and airy with efficient air - con, clean modern bathroom with plenty of hot water (or cold if you prefer). Rooftop pool was small but nice to cool off and not crowded. Lovely buffet breakfast. Only criticism is that it was further from the Old Town than we thought - it was supposed to be near the Grand Bazaar, but the GB was a good 20mins walk and the Blue Mosque more like 30mins - that's no joke in that heat!
