Hotel Holiday Inn di Istanbul

It is not very close to the central area but it is super well connected with all the buses that take you quickly to any place in Istanbul. There is not much tourism in the area and it is a traditional neighborhood. I really recommend it for a visit to the city.

Iit was my last nights in Instanbul and I wanted a nice comfortable somewhat luxurious hotel after having been in Instanbul for weeks and staying in budget friendly hotels with small bathrooms. The Holiday Inn suited me perfectly and it's a 15 minute taxi ride to Kadikoy.

Great location, excellent breakfast and amenities. I stayed six nights (between 22 and 28th Jan 2024 in Room 406), and Muracettin and the team, including Hilal, especially ever smiling, Gigdem ensured our day started well at the breakfast. Daily housekeeping was done to a good standard, thus returning to the hotel every day after busy exploration and shopping was always pleasant. Fatih and his colleagues, including Kamel at the reception, were readily available to provide assistance or any information required and were truly helpful. In terms of main attractions, say the very end of Sultanahmet, where the Blue mosque and the likes of Hagia Sophia is about 25 - 30 min walk. Notably, the hotel is so close to the main shopping district of the old city of Istanbul, including the vibrant grand bazaar and hundreds of wholesale and retail outlets. Hotel's restaurant provides handful choices, I tried the 3 course menu for 450 (Lira), which was quite reasonable. If I need to be so critical, I would urge the hotel to consider upgrading the bathroom outlook. Otherwise, everything in there is perfect and in full working order. The city view from my room, especially the minerat of Kamal Pasa mosque and the azan (call for prayers) for me was so heart touching and sentimental. For the first time in many years, I felt so emotional to leave this place, thanks for the team who showed so much of love and care. There is a health club within the hotel where all types of massages including hammam (payable) and sona (free), are available. I wouldn't choose anywhere else on my trips to Istanbul!

The hotel is located at the seaside port of Turaz, a few meters away from the sea. The transportation is very convenient. It is very close to the main highway and the train station. It is very convenient for traveling and is well connected in all directions.

Most of the front desk had done marvelous helpful and friendly services. First, they gave us a room where facing the main busy noisy road, then we requested them to change ro the quite one, and they did a great job. Location is a very convenient from taksim Square and business center area. Meals for breakfast & dinner are variety and good. Without doubt, I definitely recommend this hotel for your holidays 👌
