It was quite good to have a simple travel in midtown. Reasonable price. Especially quiet in night time considering it’s being in the street side.

Hotel is clean and easy to find. 7 mins away from Hagia Sophia and Basilica Cistern. Very accomodating staff and helpful.
03.12.2024
I chose this hotel primarily because I needed a clean, comfortable, and conveniently located place to stay, as I planned to spend most of my time exploring Istanbul.

For these reasons, I can understand why it receives such positive reviews, and I generally agree with them.

The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom suite was modern and well-maintained. Breakfast was included, which was a nice touch, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay.

In terms of location, the hotel is very well situated, with both Gulhane and Sirkeci tram and metro stations just a few minutes' walk away, making it easy to get around the city.

One thing that threw me off was that I booked a stay at Hotel Ilkay but was actually placed in Lalahan Hotel, which caused a bit of confusion initially. It felt a little strange and somewhat misleading.

Overall, a decent stay for those prioritising location and comfort over luxury.

You couldn’t ask for a better location and the stuff is very accommodating, so don’t hesitate to report any issues that you might be facing there. We’ve found breakfast service quite nice too. The tram did not bother us. Room’s a little cold in October.

Very good location, with comfy bed and amazing spread for breakfast. The only downside is that it can be a little noisy due to its proximity to the trains passing by. But not too much an issue if you turn on the TV or music.

Outstanding service from the gentlemen at reception. Assisted with details for the Istanbul card and directions to places of interest. Single room is rather small but clean and comfortable, so much to see in Istanbul so the room is for sleeping purposes :)) Hotel is situated in a tourist district so all the popular attractions are "walking" distance,tram stop is about 200m. Ferry station is about 500m.
Ilkay Hotel would be the place to stay if you want convenience.....
