Hampton By Hilton Istanbul Old City

I really love this hotel, we have stayed previously and chose to come back. I've been to Istanbul lots and for the price this is a top notch choice. Location is spot on, close to both metro lines and the tram, a few minutes from the stop for the airport bus. Loads of eateries around. Close enough and easy enough to get to everything but a bit out of central tourist ville. ( top tip - On a Friday if you walk up the road towards Findikzade tram stop 300m ish there is a huge great market in the residential streets, clothing, shoes, sweets, food, home, jewellery etc) Breakfast is good, not a massive choice but all fresh and tasty, hot and cold. Beds are really comfy. Duvets and lots of pillows Rooms are spacious, clean and well appointed. Best of all they are REALLY well soundproofed and there is very minimal noise from inside or outside in the rooms (this is so unusual in IST) WiFi works really well. Staff are friendly but not pushy. Love the kettle and fridge in room and the comp drinks in reception are a super touch.

Location is a plus since all forms of transport like buses, trams, metro and taxis are easily available. Also, restaurants, money exchanges, bazaars are in close proximity.

The hotel is very nice very clean and the staff are very friendly The only one thing which make me feel unhappy that I paid for 2 days and I didn’t know that the check in time at 2 o’clock and I arrived at 6 in the morning and the receptionist told me to wait from 6 morning until 2 pm I know it is not his fault it is the silly rules they have I don’t understand why 2 o’clock if we paid for it Than I paid 60 euro half day until they checked me in Otherwise the hotel is amazing nice , clean and the staff are nice

The room had a sofa bed, which helped us a lot as we were travelling with a toddler. Location was fine but not very well. The nearest tram station is 7-8 minutes walk and takes you directly to Sultanahmet but is almost always very crowded. If you visit Istanbul, try to find something close to the piers (iskele in Turkish) because the most attractive part of Istanbul is to use boats each and every day and almost for each and every important destinations. Staff at the reception were also quite helpful, particularly Ozkan (or Ozcan).

Definite Value for money, we were lucky enough to have a corner room which was extra spacious. Particularly like the gym. Location was excellent, we enjoyed staying just outside the main tourist area. There were many restaurants, shops and supermarkets were within a minute walk of the hotel. The train stop was a 3 minute walk away, once we got a metro card from the hotel, we used it to go everywhere, it was quick and easy to travel. There was never a need to take a taxi throughout our 10 day trip. The breakfast was not extensive, but it was good. Overall a fantastic stay and I would book here again.
