Ramada by Wyndham Istanbul Old City

The room is quite small, but that's understandable given the old town location. It's a great choice if you just need a place to sleep for a night while exploring. The T1 tram stop is right outside the door, making it super convenient to get around, though it can get quite crowded during peak hours.

The room itself was on par with a domestic budget chain hotel, and breakfast was decent. But considering this is Turkey, where prices are soaring, the price was fair for the room. I honestly thought the service was great. They let me eat my own sandwich in the restaurant and enjoy free drinks, and even gave me a late check-out without any hassle. The best part is the amazing location. T1 (tram line) and a bus stop are right outside the door. Just turn right and you can instantly top up your Istanbulcard. There are many good restaurants nearby, and a Starbucks downstairs. For the same price, I think it's much better than an Airbnb right in the center of the Old City. And I booked a Ctrip airport transfer directly. Staying for 3 nights, the value for money was excellent. The only slight drawback was that the cleaning lady might not come every day. You have to ask her to replenish towels or take out the trash. Overall, I had a very pleasant stay these past few days. See you next time, Istanbul!

The location is great, with a tram stop right outside the hotel, making getting around very convenient. However, getting here from the airport requires several transfers, so I booked an airport transfer service through Ctrip for my departure. I had a tree-view room, and the window was blocked by trees. Overall, the room was still quite good. Just a suggestion: why does the music for the service/worship start at 5 AM?

The hotel is very clean, and the staff are cooperative. I will definitely repeat my visit.

The room was comfortable and spotless. The location is incredibly convenient, with multiple bus routes right outside, making it easy to get to all the city's attractions. Breakfast was abundant, and the service was excellent, especially Erguvan, who was enthusiastic, professional, and always helpful with a smile. There are also plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. I would definitely choose to stay here again if I have the chance.

I really liked this hotel. The room wasn't big, but it was cozy and had all the amenities. It was quite quiet at night. A huge plus is the tram stop right outside the hotel. You can take this tram to all the main attractions in Istanbul without getting stuck in traffic. The hotel staff are very responsive and always try to help with any issues. I'd like to specifically mention the restaurant. Although the breakfasts were the same every day, they were quite varied. Both adults and children found plenty to eat. The restaurant staff were very friendly. Special thanks to Erguvan (very friendly and with a wonderful smile), Dinger, and the Russian-speaking lady (unfortunately, I don't know her name). In the evenings, there are places nearby to go out for dinner, even outside the hotel. There's also a shop nearby. I definitely recommend it.

The T1 tram is right across the street, running every two to three minutes. It's about a 7-8 minute ride (5 stops) to the Grand Bazaar, 7 stops to Sultanahmet Square, 10 stops to the ferry terminal, and 15 stops to the further pier. Although there are many stops, the travel time isn't long. Amenities provided include cups, towels, shower caps, and cotton swabs. The hotel decor is old, the room is small, and the bathroom appearance is mediocre. The hardware is, at best, comparable to a budget hotel like Home Inn Select. Breakfast is simple, with a Turkish-Western style. I stayed for 5 days. On the second day of my stay, I developed large red welts on my body, not typical mosquito bites. After the sheets and bedding were changed on the third day, no new welts appeared. It's been over half a month since I returned home, and they still haven't fully healed. This booking was made through an agent. Although I repeatedly requested a room not facing the street, I was still assigned one. I had to close the windows and wear earplugs to sleep. My emails went unanswered. I asked Trip.com to contact them, and they acknowledged it. What almost made me give up was that Trip.com's response stated there was no T1 tram stop near the hotel. Thankfully, AI helped clarify the situation. The front desk service was decent. My flight arrived early, and they arranged an early check-in for me. They also accurately guided me to the Grand Bazaar. I almost took the wrong T1 train due to AI misleading me. Be careful of scams when using the self-service machine at the T1 tram stop to get an Istanbul public transport card.
