“Very impressed”

Lovely room equipped with all the necessities. Staff extremely helpful. Tram station is 2 minutes walk from the hotel and all the main attractions are within 10-20 minutes walk. Can't wait to go back.

“Istanbul's best hotel”

Convenient for public transport and short walk to Grand and Spice Bazaar, not far from main attactions.

“Friendly, well-managed hotel”

This is a spacious, attractive hotel with very helpful, efficient staff. Requests were dealt with promptly and one minor problem with the lock - which needed a battery replacing - was sorted out within minutes. The room was on the top floor and was quiet and comfortable. Hotel facilities were good, though those guests planning on using the pool should be aware that it is relatively compact and directly overlooked by the gym. As far as location is concerned, the hotel is a 10-15 minute walk from main attractions like the Grand Bazar but things are in relatively easy reach and the nearest tram stop is only minutes away. Overall, we were very satsfied with everything.

“Great place to stay, great value, great staff!”

My husband and I really enjoyed staying here. It's important to know that the hotel is about 1.5 miles or a 20 minute walk from the heart of the Old Town. But, there is a tram stop right in front of the hotel, and it's only 3 stops, or about 7 minutes, to the Blue Mosque, etc. The tram is clean and very easy to use. We loved the hotel and its services. The pool is pretty small, so don't expect to be able to do laps and the gym is small as well and opens late (8:00 a.m.), but it still has the major equipment that you need. The sauna and bath facilities are wonderful, though. The only complaint is that there are not many nice restaurants around the hotel--you need to go to the Old Town or the Galata side for that. Overall, though, it was a great place to stay and the value is excellent!

“Wonderful Place.”

This is a truly Five Star hotel. The staff are very friendly though some of them do not speak English. The location is good, with only five minutes walk to the tram station. Nearer to the Hotel there are couple of good eating houses, and good places to shop around. The reception area is very pleasant, the bar is well-stocked though bit pricy but I suppose this is the case with all 5-star hotels. I would most certianly go there again and again.

“Modern Luxury in Old City Istanbul”

A very Grand Hotel. Newly updated, beautiful, clean, great staff and easy access to Grand Bazaar/Blue Mosque/Topkapi Palace/Haghia Sophia-2 stops on the electric trolley. Would definately stay at this hotel again!!!

“Good quality hotel”

Everything about the hotel was good i.e. room and reception staff! However, the hotel bar/restaurant was severly over-priced and service was somewhat poor and not in keeping with a 5 star hotel!! Message service in the hotel is good, but beware it is not a pleasurable message, very very deep!!

“Amazing city and great hotel”

We stayed in Istanbul at the Crown Plaza for five nights over Easter and had a fantastic time. The city is amazing with so much to do and to see and the hotel was excellent. The hotel is in the old city, in the Bazaar district, and walking distance to pretty much all the sights in the old city. It was also 2 minutes away from the tram stop, so when we were feeling a little tired and lazy all we had to do was hop on the tram to go where we wanted to. The room was good with a very comfortable bed and big tv, and although it was quite a small room and the bathroom didn't have a tub, we were very happy with it. There's a pool, gym, saunas and Turkish bath at the hotel which were all new and great. The staff were very helpful and all in all we had a really good time. Would definitely go back!

“Fantast Hotel, I happy to go back”

Istanbul is a fantastic City, I not was expectant so beautiful place, I been before in Turku but never in Istanbul, is a city with history and a combination of cultures so nice. I love this city and I hope to go back soon. The hotel we stay is fantastic as you can walk everywhere do not neat to take the public transport only from the airport and to the airport the rest of the time take our walking shoes and walk.
