“Good new hotel”

Nice location, extremely good service. My room was a bit small, but comfortable. Much better than some of the other hotels in the same price range.

“great hotel with reasonable rates”

Hotel Le Piano is a good choice if you are looking for clean rooms, pleasant staff, great location, and reasonable rates. Yes, the rooms are small by American standards as some reviewers have commented, but how much time do you want to spend in your room if you are in Istanbul? I was traveling as a single woman, and the staff there was very welcoming and helpful to me. Your room is straightened and refreshed with clean towels daily, and there is a large breakfast buffet with plenty of variety included. It is on the same street as Yerebatan Sarnici (the Basilica Cistern) so all major sites are within close walking distance. In spite of the busy tourist area, it is very quiet when you have closed windows. I would definitely stay there again.

“Location Location Location.”

I bought this hotel via a 'secret hotel' style deal so was a little nervous at first after discovering which hotel it was, and reading some of the reviews. It has to be said that some things that people have said are true; the rooms are small, and noise does travel especially from the street, but the rooms are clean, tidy and actually at night when there is little traffic it is quite peaceful. Come the morning the honking cars are back, (a reminder of Turkish driving!) but it's not so awful, unless you wake at the rustling of paper. I'd remind some previous complainers that you have chosen a hotel that is perfectly placed in the heart of the old city, literally 3-10 mins gentle stroll from several attractions, vibrant neighbourhoods and amazing restaurants (Panoramic Restaurant in the Adamar Hotel opposite is not to be missed), a city that is centuries old and built without much town planning... so it will be a little crammed, and the streets may get a little congested at times, the buildings may be a bit narrow, so your rooms will be too. If you wanted lots of space and silence, and a cloned experience - don't stay in the thick of it! One complaint, however. I was not allowed to use the spa when I wanted. I was told to come back in 20 mins or book despite the fact I did not want a treatment (only to sit in the sauna) and I'd just been down there and seen a worker asleep and the place empty. Overall it deserves 4/5 despite not being '4 star' - Helpful, clean, location

“2 nights in Istanbul”

The location was great. The bellhop was super helpful. Breakfast was okay. Turkish massage was okay too.
