I entered the hotel and struggled to get my luggage up the stairs. The bellboy just looked at me until I had gotten my luggage up the stairs. I would find this was the level of -no service to expect. The staff was unfriendly and provided incorrect information. Before I get into this terrible hotel, let me tell you about... More

Awful Awful Awful - If we wanted a budget experience, we would've booked budget. Booked through lastminute.com 'top secret 4 star' which we wouldn't normally do but were pushed for time, and we stupidly trusted it to be true to word.

I stayed here over two nights in two different rooms. Beds/Rooms: The beds were indeed comfortable and clean and the rooms spacious. Private toilet/shower which had good water pressure, provided that there weren't many others using their showers at the same time (my tour arrived at the hotel and 45 people needed to shower). Staff: Quick and friendly. Breakfast: Great!... More

Rooms are horribly small. So called superior room with a huge curtain draping over the bed is non existing. We were told that there is only 1 room like that and even that is 'artists impression' whatever that means. Rooms are kept quiet warm and no temperature control in the room. Bathroom....no bathtub and the room is called superior? Noisy... More

Booking into this hotel needs a health warning ! I have just spent two nights there and have not slept for one minute. What they fail to tell you is literally 10 mt from the hotel front door a new metro station is being built ! Its a government project with a deadline and therefore has no work restrictions, its...

It was the great surprise for us – because we expected poor conditions for such a low price. But this hotel is perfect! Rich interior, oriental chic, good restaurant with a beautiful views of the Bosphorus. In our room was very clean, the towles were changed every day. The main sightseens are near the hotel. Besides in IPEK PALACE there... More

The best thing about this hotel was how friendly the staff were. It's ideally located for walking to all the biggest attractions of the old city and good transport links to the rest of Istanbul. There are lot's of bars and restaurants close by as well as the Market

We booked a room through Last Minute Secret Deals and, after reading reviews, were uncomfortable with our choice. We contacted the hotel and for a cost of 25 euros per room per night were able to upgrade to a superior room. We were quite satisfied with our room which was spacious and comfortable and reasonably priced. The staff were pleasant... More

Myself and a friend recently toured 4 cities in Europe over 11 days. We booked our hotels in 3 of the 4 cities using "secret name" websites and each time we picked hotels with 4 or more stars. Two of the three hotels we booked were very nice hotels that easily lived up to their 4 star billing. The third... More
