Best Western Empire Palace Hotel & Spa Reviews

The location is very good that a lots of area of interests are within walking distance. A lots of transportation to choose from, trains, tram and bus are also available. Nice breakfast and paid meals are also good.

The experienced staff were both Friendly and helpful! As I was Traveling late night early morning, I called the hotel for some assistance with a taxi service. They front desk was happy to talk to the driver and even helped me confirm pricing. As a single woman traveling I am wanting to take precautions for my safety. The room was authentic and had a comfortable warmth! The rooms were clean with comfortable beds. The location is close to the touristy spots with easy access to public transportation! Travelers be prepared, so many things to see and do-be prepared. I enjoyed the exciting hustle and bustle and with help I found my way on the public ferry to check out the other side for a local experience. I truly enjoyed my stay, Thank you Empire Palace

It’s very central. Super close to the tram. Everything awesome

Nice hotel . Nearby many tourist places

Good and expedite service, kind staff at the reception desk. Great location next to popular attractions and public transport (bus, tram and metro) in a nice central street. Clean rooms with plenty of storage, space and typical decor.

Toilet has yellowish stains. Same breakfast for 4 days. The lunch and dinner that I paid for were delicious but the complimentary breakfast was not that good and they serve the same breakfast every day.

Difficult access to hotel for disabled people no ramp. But superior room good, comfortable bed, heating, clean and service excellent, wax bit happy with the breakfast given 4 star hotel not much choice sadly

Very nice staff location is amazing and food also is amazing

Perfect location.

We arrived at the hotel at 8am, and the check-in uncle hadn't come to work yet. The hotel staff warmly invited us to the restaurant for a free breakfast, and then checked us in early. The triple room booked by my family had a very comfortable bed. Although the hotel facilities are relatively old, they are well maintained. The cleaning lady kept our room very clean at all times, and the free mineral water and tissues were also provided in a timely manner. The hotel is in a very good location, 100 meters downstairs is the T1 rail station, it is very convenient to go to major attractions, and across the road is the Municipal Park and the Old Palace.

The location of the hotel is excellent, all the attractions of the Fatih area are within walking distance. Many people write in reviews about the noisy tram - in fact, it is not that noisy, it did not bother us at all, although we lived on the second floor. And he doesn’t walk at night either. But there was another problem - there was practically no sound insulation from the corridor, so conversations and slamming doors, especially at night, caused some inconvenience. Breakfast is quite monotonous and modest, but overall normal and satisfying. Everything was great with the staff, they checked us in even before our check-in time. There are also Russian-speaking employees for whom this is important. Our room was a triple one, not particularly spacious, but clean and very comfortable for three people, they all had full beds. And we were only in the room to spend the night, otherwise there was no point in going to Istanbul)

The location is good, and it takes only ten minutes to get to the beach, the old palace, and the Blue Mosque. However, there is no parking downstairs, and there is a mosque opposite. The tram runs for a long time, and the mosque starts calling for prayer at around 5 am, which may be a bit difficult for people with poor sleep. When I went there, one room was not cleaned properly, and drinking water was forgotten. But the waiter's attitude was quite good

The room is located in the old city, close to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and the Basilica Cistern. It's just a turn away. It's also convenient to take T1, just a few steps away from the railway station. The location is very convenient. We booked a triple room. Although the room is a bit compact, the hygiene is good, the hotel service is good, and the food downstairs is delicious. It's convenient to live here!

The room is clean and tidy, the location is good, it's only a few minutes' walk to the beach, and it's also very close to famous attractions. It's an ideal hotel for City Walk👍
