Hotels near Metropole Park Business Introduction, Istanbul

This was my first ever trip to Istanbul. I work in the field of exhibitions and my visit was specifically to attend a trade exhibition at Tuyup (the expo convention center). Istanbul is huuuggggeee like any other country and since I had zero knowledge of the geographies, I took suggestions from fellow travelers on TripAdvisor and my local partner in Istanbul. I had a choice between Expoist and another property close to the expo center. The reviews of both the hotels were almost similar however, The Expoist was offering a better deal. The hotel is about 45 minutes to an hour from the new Istanbul airport and that would cost you around 30 Euros. At check-in, I was offered a complimentary upgrade to a deluxe room. I was offered the room on the top floor with the view of the city side. Although the location is really far from the main city/tourist attractions, its located in a good location if you are traveling for business. The hotel is close to a metro station if you would like to see local transport. There are two malls, a gas station, furniture stores, cafes, restaurants, apparel stores, etc in the vicinity. The room was absolutely neat, clean and pretty spacious, I won't rate it as large but accommodative and comfortable for a solo traveler or a couple. The bathroom is decent but the bath area is really small like a pod. So kind of gets congested if you are large and tall. The room comes with all basic amenities, a mini kitchen with a microwave and basic kitchen wear, a wardrobe, instant coffee, and tea, bottled water etc. TV would play only one English music channel rest nothing in a language I could understand. Not all staff members speak English, but the staff is friendly, accommodating and cooperative. Wifi is really good across the hotel. The language was a major problem in this side of the town, there was barely anyone who could communicate in English. At the metro station, all instructions are in Turkish so one can barely understand or figure out a way to go about using the local means of transport that was really cheaper compared to the taxi. The terrace on the 8th floor offers a fantastic view of the cityscape. Breakfast offered at the restaurant on the 8th floor of the hotel was really decent and amazingly delicious. Not an elaborate spread but was sufficient and delicious. If you are a vegetarian, I am sorry u have very limited choice. Cereals, bread varieties of accompaniment and french fries, fruits, tea & juices.. which by the way is pretty sufficient for a small eater. Overall it was a comfortable stay. As mentioned tourist attractions are all really far but there are two really good Malls in a 5-7 minute distance from the hotel. PS: Make sure you carry an international adapter, Turkey / Istanbul have very different sockets. The hotel does not provide any adapters.

My friend and I were staying at Mount Ararat Hotel for three nights. We were welcomed by friendly and helpful staff. Even though we barely stayed in our room, the room had everything what we needed after a long day outdoors. The beds were very comfortable, the place was clean and so was the bathroom. There were a lot of restaurants nearby and during the evening the neighbourhood became very lively with locals and tourists. We were happy that after a tiring day we could grab some food and drinks with our hotel in the close proximity. On our last evening Saleh helped us arranging the transport to the airport which was top-notch! On the other hand, we had an arrangement with breakfast included and it was slightly disappointing. It was buffet with various choices of food and drinks but my friend and I are a little bit fussy. We preferred to grab something on our way to the city centre. It is not a deal breaker though. All in all, good value for money. We were satisfied about our choice and would definitely come back.

Perfect stay in central of istanbul. Walking distance to Taksim and Galata Tower. Sishane metro and Tophane tram station are also nearby. Room was clean. The only thing we need maybe an electric kettle inside the room to make tea and coffee. And also more variety in the breakfast

Perfect location in the old town of Sultanahmet. To the main attractions Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace you walk in 10/15 minute. Down to the seaside with a park and a walkway along the shore in 7 minutes. This small hotel is in a narrow sidestreet with little traffic. Rooms are a bit small buit nicely furnished and they are clean. Some with balcony facing the sea or terrace. Double glas windows to prevent the noise of the main steet below the hotel which is on the hillside. Good breakfast with a great variety and excellent view on the roof top. Keep in mind that this is the main tourist area of Istanbul where everything is expensive. There are many Restaurants in this place but you hardly find a breakfast for less than 10 Dollars. So all in all the Seatanbul is very good value for money. Mr. Kayhan at the reception speaks perfct english and is a very friendly and helpfull man. I highly can recommend this place.

Well, I booked online for our family of 5 members. They advised they have an apartment suitable for us. When I reached there, we found that the apartment is not in the main building, we have to climb long stairs Infront of the building, then go up a little hill, then go up again the stairs for 3 floors with all the luggage just to find out that the apartment has only one AC in the main room but the other one with the sofa and extra bed has no AC in August!!!! That was very very disappointing since it was never mentioned anywhere, neither that the apartment is in a separate building nor it is in a higher floor or not fully air-condionned but what happened next was what made us feel at home. Bora, the one at the reception, who confirmed my booking then did his best to try shuffling some rooms so we can fit in the main building but since me and the rest of the family were willing to stay together, I suggested to try one night and see if we could handle the heat or we will need to move to more than one room in the main building. At night we had a wonderful window view of the old town and Galata tower that I wouldn't give for any air-conditoned room :))) Despite the apartment was very small and we could barely move but it was really clean and it had everything we could need to feel home. The sound of seagulls woke us up in the morning and we slept watching the moonlight covering Galata Tower at night. A wonderful experience i wish to repeat, we were lucky because it was full moon. They always sent someone to clean and change the bed sheets and towels, and they did their best helping with the luggage up and down. The day of check out, they were very generous, they made a discount on the full amount as an apology we didn't know much about the apartment, and the owner offered us simit and cheese, a very traditional yet yummy Turkish breakfast. I loved the stay, what made it beautiful was the generosity of the staff, how welcoming they were, the cleanness of the place and the unforgettable view of the apartment, I will definitely go back

I have been here at the hostel for a week. The service is very nice and they help where they can. I had a room change without problems and these are clean and relatively quietly located to a side street. The bakery faces one in the morning with the smell of fresh bread ;) However, no loud supply. Breakfast is nice, marmelade, honey, some vegetables and tea, water or coffee. It is worth mentioning that the staff members clean every day. Only in the bathroom is a hook to hang up and protect his stuff and cultural bags from wet :D

To begin with, now this hotel is called DNZ TAXIM FERİDİYE HoTEL. I booked a stay for three nights through booking in a deluxe room. Upon arrival, we were given a different room that did not match the description and photo when booking. We returned to the administrator with an attempt to explain that the number was clearly different. He looked for our reservation for a long time, found it, and eventually gave us another room. It was larger and similar in size to the one in the photo, but it did not match in appearance. We were told that there were no other rooms available. In the end, I had to stay in this room. Then we began to examine it in more detail and were in a slight shock. The point was the condition of the room itself: the door trims were broken off, the walls were all chipped to the ground, the sink was loose, the shower hose was frayed, the faucet that was kept on parole. The faucet and fan just stuck out of the wall, everything above the doorway in the bathroom was smeared with cement without any kind of decoration (everything is in the photo). Towels are dirty, with lipstick residue and holes. Bed linen was also in question. The price included breakfast, which again turned out to be not the same as in the photo on bo***********A photo of breakfast is also attached to the review. The main thing there is half a loaf. Arabs work at the front desk, who know a couple of words in English, that is, it is extremely difficult to communicate with them. And finally, the cherry on the cake. We decided that we could not stand here for three nights and leave after two nights. As a result, the administrators canceled our reservation when we checked out, and sent information to booking that we supposedly did not check in. In general, they simply deceive people! I do not recommend this hotel to anyone!

Ξενοδοχείο στη πλατεία Ταξίμ , σε τοποθεσία που εξυπηρετεί τις μετακινήσεις στο κέντρο της πόλης και βρίσκεις πολλά μαγαζιά και εστιατόρια. Δωμάτια χωρίς καθόλου θέα και με πολύ θόρυβο από το δρόμο. Το πρωϊνό φτωχό, μόνο η θέα από την αίθουσα του πρωϊνού αξίζει.

I drove in Turkey for half a month and stayed in more than 10 hotels. I must come to praise this hotel. 1. First of all, the location is excellent. Take the airport bus No. 16 to Taksim Square and walk to the hotel. Next to it is the five-star Ramada, which is very convenient for eating and shopping; 2. The hotel is relatively clean. The most troublesome thing in Turkey is the hygiene standard. The five-star hotel is also unsatisfactory. I hope the boss will continue to work hard on the hygiene standard; 3. We booked the 18-square-meter room, which is spacious enough, the bathroom is also sufficient, and the details are fully considered; 4. In addition to the facilities, the attitude and ability of the boss to solve problems reflect whether a hotel is good or not. There was a little episode on the first day of check-in, and the boss solved it perfectly. I give the boss a thumbs up; 5. When I come to Turkey again, this is the only hotel I want to stay in. Welcome everyone to experience it.

The hotel location is very good, in the heart of Sisli, it is convenient to go shopping. Sanitary facilities are also available.
