Points positifs : Très bien situé pour visiter les incontournables. Personnel à la réception et au petit déjeuner très bien et parlant un bon anglais. Chambre double supérieure conforme à la description. Coffre dans la chambre. Transferts aéroport réservés via l'hôtel très pratiques. Pleins de restaurants dans le quartier. Station de tramway Sultanahmet à 3 minutes. Petit déjeuner complet au dernier étage avec terrasse et vue sur la mosquée bleue. Points négatifs : Il manque une vraie cafetière avec les différentes sortes de cafés, chocolat, eau chaude et cappuccino. Etant membre Gold je n'ai pas obtenu tous les avantages comme le surclassement et le départ tardif qui ne m'a été accordé que jusqu'à 14h.

Very old and small hotel, no one helped to get the luggage to the room, lift is too small hardly fit 2 people and 2 bags. I wouldn't book it again. Room was cleaned but very small for a family of four...it was meant to a family room but it wasn't.

Hotel is in a convenient location and walkable to all area attractions. Staff is very welcoming, helpful and always grewt you while leaving/entering property. Room size was okay for the area. Carpet though needs good steam cleaning. Offsite parking was adequate but problematic is you are looking for in/out privileges. It was okay to stay for couple of days with family.

Great hotel to stay in, the location was excellent and extremely close to all of the main tourist attractions (walking distance). The room itself was comfortable and the staff were lovely; they would help call taxis, and recommend places to eat. I was kindly upgraded to a bigger room during my stay which was very nice of the staff. My only negatives would be that the phone in my room didn’t work so i wasn’t able to use room service, i used the laundry service but the clothes came back damp (external service the hotel offers) and if you were to stay here i highly recommend you don’t eat in the surrounding area as meals were costing us double what we were paying slightly further out

Room was a little tired but spotlessly clean. Our room was cleaned and reset every day. Breakfast was good and they were happy for us to sit up in the breakfast room of an evening to watch the sun go down. It was a lovely view. Close to all the things you want to see in the faith district. Nice restaurants close by. Only issue was taxis and buses couldn’t stop outside so it was a short walk from the main road.

L’air climatisé est central donc incapable de mettre plus froid dans la chambre , difficile de dormir avec la chaleur. Pour le reste c’était bien. Il serait important d’aviser, les voyageurs que les voitures ne peuvent pas se rendre à l’hôtel à certaines heures de la journée, car les rues sont fermées. Très difficile de marcher avec des valises avec des rues fait de pierre.

The room was spacious and clean. The staff was very nice and helpful. The location was fantastic- many sites within a 10 minute walk and so many great restaurants around. Unfortunately, the a.c. and heat were centrally operated. Since it was October- there was a.c. in the day, then heat at night. So in order to feel cool when sleeping, the window had to be kept open, which was noisy at times. Ear plugs helped. Overall, a nice stay.

In all, the location is amazing and the support staff are all wonderful.

DO NOT take a room on the top floor!! Specifically rooms 401/402/403. Risky in rooms 301/302/304. Even the second floor poses its risks of getting no sleep. Although this hotel has a restaurant space on the ground level, they have opted to put the breakfast room on the top (5th) floor. The reasoning is that it has a view of the city and Bosporus, which it does, hidden behind a slough of not-so-pretty rooftops. What they’ve effectively done, however, is sacrificed at least 6 good rooms, for paying guests who want to sleep, in favour of a breakfast room with tiled floors and wooden chairs with nothing to dampen the sound. People, I cannot begin to describe how loud it gets. Although the location is perfect, and the staff mean so well, the no sleep factor makes the Tan Hotel a terrible choice. Also, it you have hotels.com perks, like free drinks at the property, forget about them. There’s no such thing. There’s also a very weird protruding spout in the toilets that, if you sit “wrong” will assault and sully your privates. Lastly, although breakfast is served until 11, please see the pictures of what’s left at 10.

I feel staff are somewhat friendly, especially the cleaner and restaurant staff. But in general I'm afraid to stay in this hotel. terrified. We rent for the meeting room but hotel staff always don't give very precise information. They sometimes give me the impression that they are asking for extra payment in a extortion way. We are actually afraid of our safety during the time stayed. And hotel actually charged us addtional cleaing fee for appratently we did not make any damage to the carpet. Also room and all facility very very bad. Everhting broken or about to be broken. This is by far the worst hotel I've stayed. Full thumbs down...
