We stayed here at the beginning & end of a bus tour & found it quite o.k. No it is not common to have jugs & teamaking facilities anywhere we stayed in Turkey that was 4 star. It is close & easy access to places in the old part of the city.Our rooms must have been refurbished as they were... More

Hotel on a main road. On an Archers holiday 1 night at beginning of holiday and 2 on the way back. The 2 rooms we had had been refurbished and were fine. 10 minute walk to main area, although all around the hotel were derelict buildings and a lot of rubble which looked as id it had been there forever....

I have been there 3 times! Best Location, near Istiklal Street, near SiShane underground metro station , bus stop is opposite the hotel. We like the fresh and good breakfast .The rooms are very clean and comfortable but small. The internet connection is good. The Staff at reception were really helpful specially Erdal !

I share the.views of other travellers. Apathetic describes them well. We had the same experience, air contioning on heating mode and they don't switch it till May so you have to lump it. They provide kettles and cups in the rooms but if you want to brew yourself a cup of tea you need to buy the tea bags at... More

Hotel: looks nice from the lobby. Guestroom: small, dated and smell bad in the room (telephone is not working in the room) Reception: general the people in the hotel are not very helpful (such as luggages) my feeling is "oh is another group" Restaurant: buffet breakfast no service staff at all.

Clean rooms (everything worn and tired, hardly worthy of a 4 star status) and reception areas, but the front of house staff couldn't be more apathetic if they tried... Which they won't. Because they are apathetic. Hotel runs off of centralized air con so if you are boiling hot and the air con is set to winter mode, well that's... More

First, the staff, specially reception: they are unhelpfull at all times and try to get rid of you in any way and are rude sometimes.wow. The resturant staff are as unhelpful as the reception staff with no English knowledge. Only the bill boys are helpfull and do speak English. Our room was not clean, worn out furniture but overlooking the... More

The Grand Hotel Halic is an old but sweet property in Istanbul, the public area's are clean and nicely appointed. Our room had everything needed and was clean and well kept by staff during our stay. On the downside, we had a room with a view of the courtyard, which was dismal. Make sure you ask for a room with... More

I thought it was worth the view out my window. (Even if the traffic below was loud at rush hour.) The breakfast was nice. Our room was very nice. We actually walked from the spice market, across the bridge, talked to some fishermen (actually tried to talk to them) and up the hill to the hotel. It was a nice... More
