I booked this hotel only because Turkish Airline, which is excellent, provided a free stop over night there, so I booked additional 4 nights to save the hassle of changing hotels. I was under assumption that this was a 4-star hotel. It is not. The hotel is very dated and tired. The steps leading to the foyer are all broken. The furnishings are circa 70s, well worn and in need of replacement. We were given a room with three single beds, even though we booked queen. The free breakfast was so terrible that we chose to eat at a lovely restaurant across the road. Turkey has beautiful food, however not at this hotel. When we asked for directions, the hotel staff informed us that the information is down the road, where you can buy maps etc. This information centre, 10 minutes away, is always closed. Turkish airways is letting its reputation down with this hotel.

Easily walk to blue mosque, grand and Egyptian bazaars, Ayasofia, trolley and ferries. Breakfast options good. Rooftop bar with Bosporus and views of all sites was a hidden gem. Wifi was inadequate. Slow with one device but three devices in same room made it non functional (there was no major downloading/streaming happening). We had multiple rooms on different floors and this was consistent in every room and lobby. Also the room keys in 2 of the 4 rooms had to be replaced multiple times.

Hotel was dated, what’s amazing is that it uses 100% green energy. Shoit out to one of the staff named David, he even walked us to the nearby restaurant to have dinner as we checked in real late. Breakfast spread is mediocre.

We went to get tea at the restaurant and willing to pay for it and tgey refused to serve. No coffe makers in the room. Price hugh for what they offer

The internet in the room is INCREDIBLY slow and quite worthless. In this day and age, they need to provide high speed internet in the room. Only one pillow for a twin bed. They need to provide at least two pillows per person. Room is small. I work while I travel, and the room and the lobby did not have any good place to set up a laptop to work. Staff was very nice.

This is my second stay at Grand Yavuz in three weeks. I must say this time my rating is higher-- the wifi system is much improved! We have four rooms booked and all of us appreciated the fixes they made to wifi. Recommend this hotel for walking to old city attractions (grand bazaar, egyptian bazaar, trolley line, hagia sofia, blue mosque). Also a safe nighttime neighborhood even for single women walking.
