Edition Old City Hotel ★★★★

"Had an early flight, arrived at the hotel ahead of time, and they gave me a free early check-in – that was absolutely fantastic! So, any minor issues can be completely overlooked. The location is excellent, and transportation is very convenient; Istanbul University is right across the street. It's also an easy walk to the Blue Mosque. Plus, the breakfast, which was a typical 'Western' style, was quite good. Highly recommended!"

Wanda Vista Istanbul ★★★★★

"I've traveled for business to over 40 countries, and this is the first time I've been bitten by bed bugs. I woke up in the middle of the night with bites and had to go buy medication myself. I couldn't even meet clients for days. The management and service quality are absolutely terrible. It really tarnishes Wanda's brand image!"

RENOVA OLD CiTY ★★★

"We stayed for four days with our children. Check-in was quick, the room was clean, but our room wasn't cleaned during our stay, and the towels weren't changed (but we didn't need them; they probably would have cleaned them if we'd asked). We basically just stayed overnight. The hotel itself is small, the rooms are a bit tired, but if you don't have high expectations, everything is fine. The noise level is quite high. There was a flood in the room next door, and the staff cleaned, but the next day they apologized for the noise and treated us to cherries. Breakfast was on the veranda, with a beautiful view of the mosque. The woman serving was very friendly and spoke good Russian. Breakfast was the same: vegetables, sausage, cheese, tea, yogurt, jams, tea, bread, eggs, and milk. My daughter fed the seagulls right from the table. All the historical sites are within walking distance, and the metro is a 10-minute walk away. Overall, if you're looking for a budget option, this is a good choice."

"Hotel located in a very convenient area. Unfortunately, the housekeeping is poor and the rooms are dark. No soundproofing. Mediocre breakfast. High price for the type of property."
