Guest Reviews
- Nurdaulet (10/5): The manager saved the stay — the receptionist almost ruined it. - Great location, good breakfast. The manager deserves special recognition — professional, friendly, and solved our room issue in under 10 minutes. 10/10 for him. The receptionist was rude, unhelpful, and refused to call the manager — even claiming he would react the same way. She was wrong. She wasted our time and nearly ruined the stay. This behavior is unacceptable for any hotel and needs to be addressed by management.
- Rysbekova (8/5): Poor service - Location it’ is nice ) and only staff name Fatih was nice and approachable First of all, the staff really need proper training on how to approach and deal with guests. The service was extremely poor — it honestly felt like we were staying there for free.
The lady at the reception argued with me instead of trying to solve the issue or offer any solution. It felt she is debating with me.(
The restaurant staff were also very cold and unfriendly, as if they were working there unwillingly. There was barely any politeness or welcoming attitude. When we asked for tea in the lobby, the lady in mask replied with an annoyed expression, “It’s chargeable ,” instead of simply asking what kind of tea we would like.
Another unpleasant moment was when we asked a young guy in restaurant for spoons, and he strangely asked, “Why do you need them?” which was honestly shocking.
I’m not even mentioning the room cleanliness — housekeeping barely cleaned the room unless we reminded them multiple times.
Another issue was during breakfast service. We understand that buffet hours end at a certain time, but instead of politely informing guests, the staff started clearing the food away in a rude manner without any warning, which felt very unprofessional and uncomfortable.
The only employee who was genuinely kind and helpful was Fatih (I hope I spelled his name correctly). He was always willing to help and even assisted us in changing the room. Thankfully, he was there. 😅
Overall, the whole experience felt like the employees had no motivation to provide hospitality or basic customer service
- Roland (1/5): -
- Manal (8/5): -
- Abbas (1/5): - They didnt give you exact room you booked they make excuses that they have only small rooms, take care for this hotel to book fir bad experienced
- Alistair (9/5): Great place to stay within a short walk of Yenikapi railway station, and very good value. - The staff were friendly and efficient, the breakfast very good, and overall very good value for money. Nil.
- Šejla (7/5): - Fin dorucak, jako blizu prevoza, uljudno osoblje, Cengiz nas je odusevio. Jako neorganizovani, kada smo dosli navecr oko 9 smjestili su nas u apartman iako smo rezervisali hotel, morala sam se raspravljati jer je hotel popunjen iako je rezervisam na vrijeme. Apartmani su u drugoj zgradi, uredjenj ali jako bezobrazno od njih. Sobe u hotelu moraju biti cisce, kreveti katastrofa, a cistacice koje pocnu cistizi i lupati ujutro od 7 nemam komentara
- Nedžmina (4/5): - Lokacija hotela Čistoća nije dobra, madraci su propali, nema vode za piće u sobama, nema kuhala za kafu i čaj.

- Demić (5/5): - Kvart je loš, sobe premale.
- Hanene (7/5): Séjour en famille pour découvrir Istanbul et ses merveilles avec un bon rapport qualité/prix! - L'emplacement de l'hôtel nous correspondait parfaitement. Le petit déjeuner était bien garni et à volonté.La literie était adaptée et la chambre très bien chauffée. Les réceptionnistes étaient à notre écoute à chaque fois que nous avions eu besoin d'eux. La chambre était mal agencée. Nous nous sommes retrouvés avec un côté du lit contre le mur et une porte de secours dans la chambre, ce qui est normal pour des raisons de sécurité, mais très bizarre au première abord.

- Noman (4/5): Not recommended - Bad cleaning, manager had very bad behaviour, very very rude. Breakfast is nothing but cooked cold egg not warm. I am shocked about breakfast. Breakfast, cleaning, room service
- Mariami (10/5): -
- Hafsa Tazeen (5/5): - Breakfast We paid for double room but been given small room with two separate beds also no daily room cleaning services were provided.
- Metesh (1/5): Worst place in the world - The rooms very poor conditions. When I completed I was kicked out of the property. Left on the street at 1:00 am in the morning. Toilet bad condition Nothing to like about the property
- Sayed (5/5): Vacate the vacation 🏃🏽🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽♂️ - I don't like to leave negative reviews but after reading the reviews off booking.com and being satisfied, I went and booked it. Heres my experience, the staff in general were polite, and when you have booked for almost 2 weeks you would expect a little more hospitality and warmth, however arriving to the hotel form an early morning flight from London Heathrow, I was greeted with the unexpected which was a dingy room with no city view as illustrated on the site. When I went down to inform the manager, we had a little spat which I won't go into but after 4 day in I was offered another room. The room which I initially booked had already been assigned to someone else this is what I was told. So why have the room advertised on the site as available and this was my issue but at this point it was just swings and aroundabouts. So I left it there. After the 1st day and blood pressures restored I just went with the Turkish breeze as I didn't want to spoil my time away. Moral of the story, what might be ok for some may not be okay for you and reviews can be misleading. I've only out this up because I wouldn't want anyone else or people with conditions visable or not to go through the same experience, as holidays are supposed to be special. A flat mattress where the springs were totally lifeless, the noise of the Hoover scraping around and across the hard floor every morning and being able to hear everyone from their rooms, if you are staying for a day or 2 then it's fine but I was there for almost 2 weeks. It wasn't the room which I booked off booking.com so naturally I'm was disappointed but after a few days maybe 4 I was offered another room which had a better mattress, which made a world of difference especially when you have sciatica and have had an operation not so long ago. No kettle or tea/coffee in the rooms. Broken shower handle Towels and bedsheets if wanted will be changed everyday, hotel was clean otherwise.

- Mamaev (1/5): -
- Türkyilmaz (2/5): - Es war in der Nähe von der Marmaray, man hatte gute Verbindungen auf die asiatische Seite. Das Zimmer war sehr klein. So wie auch der Lift (es war ein sehr alter und enger Lift). Die Wände waren sehr dünn und man hat den Lift immer gehört. In der Nacht lief immer komische Musik und die Heizung war nicht existent. Badezimmer hatte Löcher in den Wänden und der Boden im ganzen Zimmer war sehr dreckig. Müll, Haare und Staub hat man überall gefunden. Die Handtücher hatten Flecken. An unserem letzten Tag hatten wir tagsüber gar kein Wasser und das Personal hat uns nicht informiert.
- Moussa (9/5): Amazing - The staff there are very friendly and helpful, the girl at the reception was very kind and helpful, she helped me with everything especially with locations in the city, the manager was comprehensive as well and a very nice person , honestly i loved staying at this hotel and if i come to turkey once again i'll definitely stay at the same hotel
The rooms are clean , very comfy , strong internet, and a diverse variety of food (very delicious) I only have one comment which is that the girls who used to clean the rooms forgot to clean mine for two days (not in a row)

- Bal (10/5): - The breakfast was excellent, and enjoying Turkish coffee on the hotel terrace was a real treat. We stayed as a family; it's an ideal hotel for families, worthy of being a 4-star hotel. The staff were incredibly helpful in every way. Thank you so much for everything. I sat in the lobby and worked on my computer for long periods; it was quiet and peaceful. And they offered unlimited coffee, and the detox water was fantastic too.

- Faruk (10/5): - Temiz aile oteli ❤️❤️
- Alexander (10/5): - We came with a group of friends and loved it. After leaving the hotel, there were many restaurants, bars, cafes, and other places nearby. I recommend it to anyone staying there.
- Kemal (10/5): Very close to the central metro and Marmara - Fatih Bey at the front desk was very helpful. We wanted to check in early, and he helped us with that. Our room was very spacious and clean. The price was also quite reasonable. If I come back to Istanbul, I will stay here again with my family.
