İlmiye Holidays from AU$2,495

Excellent value. If you are looking for an affordable hotel in Istanbul this is a good choice - clean and comfortable in well maintained building and not too busy an area.

Had a great vacation in Istanbul staying in this hotel for 8 nights; great location to many tourist sites and T1 tram that took me to most of the tourist areas. In particular I liked the breakfast in its rooftop restaurant and the staff are so friendly, Tuce (sorry name may not correct) ordered omelette for me that is great. Also the room keeping lady of my room 310 is so nice to me.

Very close to main attractions Close to public transport Excellant staff

I’m not sure how this can be considered to be a 5-star hotel. The whole place needs to be refurbished. Rooms and common areas are all extremely tired and very outdated (80’s decor), everything very worn. Tea and coffee facilities with paper cups!?! Breakfast ok but poorly set up. Difficult to move around serving counters, with staff and cleaners in the way. No servers asking what you’d like (cooked breakfast possible). My room faced what looked like a building site. Bathroom needs upgrading, dirty grout on tiles, shower head clogged up with limescale so squirting all over the place. Unsightly parts of room/bathroom covered up with picture frames or metal cover…. Usual loose toilet roll holder on wall, taps dirty and limescaled, 5 star it is not! Good location and ok pool, spa outdated and shabby though.

Loved this property very much! Staff was the friendliest, location was incredible!! Food was great in the rooftop!! Loved my room, large, clean and decorated eclectically. Spa was great too!! Will come back!
