"We chose this hotel for our trip to Istanbul. The location is excellent; trams run until midnight, and it's just a 3-minute walk from the tram stop. We drove and left our car in the hotel's parking lot for three days. The parking area can accommodate about 7-8 vehicles. The cleanliness was impressive; we had absolutely no issues regarding hygiene, even though my wife is quite particular about such things. For initial entry, staff open a locked door, and then guests use their room key cards, which provides a great sense of security."
"Our first hotel in Turkey was a delightful and heartwarming surprise. The room was clean and tidy, and the floor-to-ceiling windows offered a great view. Muat and Resur at the front desk found out we were checking out late at night and would miss breakfast, so they specially prepared sandwiches, fruit, and drinks for us to take away – we were so touched! And the two gentlemen working the night shift on July 1st were also incredibly kind; they helped us communicate with the taxi driver and even checked the fare to make sure we weren't overcharged. It was a wonderful stay, and I would definitely choose the Edition Old Town Hotel again if I return! ❤️"
"Clean and good hotel
Location is far from center in about 2 km but the tram T1 station is exactly infront of the hotel took 1 minutes to reach it
Rooms small but great and strange design"
"Had a great stay at this hotel for 9 nights. Everything was excellent from start to finish. The breakfast was very good with a nice variety, the staff were professional, friendly, and always helpful. The service throughout my stay was excellent. I really enjoyed my experience and felt very comfortable. I highly recommend this hotel and would gladly stay here again."
"The big plus of the hotel is the view from the window (see photo), as well as the polite staff. There are many questions about the rest. This is a hotel without long corridors, that is, all the rooms are located near the stairs, so you can hear everyone going up and down. There are gaps in the doors, so whether there is a door or not is very noisy. By 9 o'clock cleaning begins, the vacuum cleaner makes noise. You will also hear this clearly. I was saved by headphones, I slept in them all 4 nights.
The sheets were in pellets, but upon request they were immediately replaced. The bathroom is clean and relatively recently renovated, but the room as a whole is very tired"
"Очень приятно вспоминать о пребывании в этом отеле. Самый бюджетный номер бронировала. А он оказался уютным и очень-очень чистым. Все в номере новое, всего достаточно. Всем благодарна - и тем, кто готовил номер и тем, кто работает на ресепшене. Очень хочется побывать здесь еще."
"This was our second stay at this hotel. Among all the options, Galatahan stood out for its location, breakfast availability, and price.
It's part of a mini-hotel association, and the staff are pleasant.
Regarding the downsides, we had requested a room away from the elevator, but we were given one right next to it. In the mornings, guests waiting for the elevator would chat, and it was quite audible. However, the view compensated for everything. So, if you're an early riser, room 41 might suit you.
But there were a few things that could be improved:
1) There was no shelf in the bathroom, only traces that one used to be there… it was inconvenient to place toiletries on the edge of the sink.
2) The hairdryer was on its last legs – the cap was broken, it rattled, and it overheated… I was worried it would burn my hair.
3) On our last day, it rained, and water dripped from the window, soaking my foot (which meant my last clean sock before my flight was ruined).
4) The pillow had split into two large lumps.
5) The TV remote stopped working, so we had to turn on the TV using the button on the set itself.
If these minor issues don't bother you, and you're looking for an affordable place with breakfast and a good location, then go for it. Many hotels in Istanbul are in a similar condition unless you're opting for a heavy luxury suite."
"The hotel is conveniently located: close to the T1 tram, buses, Aksaray metro, and the airport bus. The linens and towels were clean. Breakfast was a bit repetitive, but you won't go hungry: 3 types of cheese, 2 kinds of sausage, omelets, hot dogs, muesli, vegetables, apples, and various cookies. The restaurant staff and cleaning lady were very attentive (a huge plus!). The shampoo/liquid soap provided was very pleasant. Slippers were also available. You can request an iron and ironing board.
Cons:
The triple room was very narrow with little space. The air conditioner was aimed directly at one of the beds, and opening the window didn't help with the stuffiness. The minibar light was always on, so I had to cover it with a towel at night. The shower ventilation didn't work."
The Grand Reis Hotel provides a great place for travelers to relax after a busy day. The Grand Reis Hotel offers a pleasant stay in Istanbul for those traveling for business or leisure. Traveling to the hotel is easy with Yenikapi Train Station located approximately 4km away and Istanbul Airport roughly 43km away. Just a short walk from Topkapi - Ulubatli Metro Station, traveling to most city destinations is a breeze. There is no shortage of things to see in the area, with the Topkapı Park, Fatih Mosque and Ali Emiri Efendi Cultural Center all nearby. In their spare time, guests can explore the hotel's surroundings. Guests of this Istanbul hotel can make use of the parking facilities.

Great
AAndreeva NataliaWonderful location. It's tough with luggage going up and down the stairs, so a transfer is definitely needed. The view from the restaurant terrace is stunning, especially in the evening. We booked this hotel specifically for that view. The pool is small, and a swim cap is mandatory; you'll have to buy one if you don't have one. I wasn't a fan of the massage; it was given by a man, and the price was steep. The sauna and hammam were a nice bonus. The pillows and bed were very comfortable – perfect for relaxing after a day of walking around. Breakfast was excellent. Highly recommend!
GGuest UserThe hotel's location is a bit far from the Old Town, and the room was on the small side. However, it was very clean and provided disposable slippers. They offer free parking and the breakfast is purely Western, with limited variety but enough to fill you up. The price isn't particularly cheap.
5550kkThe hotel is extremely clean compared to other 5 star hotels in Turkey. The staff at reception. Together with Staff in the restaurant , concierge and the bell boy were all extremely helpful and polite. Always ready to help. The restaurant dinner and breakfast was absolutely fantastic 👌. The hotel is very well located. It is a 15 minutes walk to Hagia Sofia, Bascillica Cistern, Blue Mosque. 7 mins walk to Grand Bazaar . The interior of the hotel looks magnificent with the old style charm but all newly renovated. I would highly recommended this hotel to stay in Istanbul. 😀😃😄
GGuest UserThis hotel was truly in a fantastic location. My wife and I had a quick holiday getaway, and the staff's attitude was wonderful. It's within walking distance to the ferry terminal and the high-speed train station. I would genuinely recommend it to everyone I know, and it's definitely my top choice for all my future Istanbul trips.
TterentiusMixed feelings for this accommodation. While it is located fairly conveniently near Taksim Square, Istiklal Street, and the metro station, this place, like many guesthouses around, is located in an area with narrow streets making car pick ups and drop offs (eg, to and from airport) a little inconvenient. Walking to the hotel also involves a hilly stretch- to be borne in mind if you have elderly in your travel party.
Staff at front desk were professional, responded to requests quickly. There was ni room service provided in the 4 nights we stayed, though place is generally clean. Some amenities were broken - large cracks in toilet bowl, hairdryer would always go off halfway. And the worst part about room 102 which we booked was that it was adjacent to the reception desk and staff toilet, meaning every interaction and use of toilet could be heard loud and clear in the room - the be considered if you are a light sleeper or don't like noise.
No breakfast offered but a lot of eateries in the area offering breakfast.
GGuest UserThis hotel is very good. It also has airport pick-up service and the sanitation is very good. I originally booked the hotel for two days. After I checked in, I felt it was so good that I extended it for a few more nights.
NNztommyI met the kindest and nicest host while staying in Istanbul.
They even upgraded my room and made my check-in time 2 hours earlier, and they welcomed me warmly.
This was the first time I felt kindness among the Turkish people I met for 4 days.
The room was also nice. The water pressure was strong! The room was really spacious.
AAkif.My first night was a disaster because my room's power supply kept cutting off and they took almost 3 to 4 hours to fix it, due to that I couldn't sleep the whole night and my morning plans got wasted too. I asked the hotel manager Mr.Arda to give me an extra night, (he refused), airport transfer on my checkout date , (he refused) , room upgrade, (he refused) , Then Mr Arda promised us a complimentary dinner at the rooftop restaurant and that was amazing .My initial plan was to stay 3 nights but then I extended it for 2 more nights because of 1 man Mr.Karem at the reception , the nicest guy of the hotel , Mr.Karem and Mr.Arda helped us alot and supported us in every aspect, but sorry to say all the other staff members there had just 1 answer. im sorry we cannot help you we cannot help you , I'll definitely visit again, Thanks to Mr.Arda and Mr.Karem ❤️ and lastly thanks to Mr.Servet who told us about the free shuttle service provided by the hotel which takes us to Taksim .
Thank you, Double Tree
Regards Akif
