First off, The location is good. The room had two windowes. They presented fresh fruits and vegetables at breakfast. The room is nice. Although there are many things to be fixed in the bathroom and it looked like it wasn't used I found dead mosquitoes in the shower. However, the noise coming from the people staying outside the hotel wether it is guests or the resturant is very loud up to 2 after midnight. |We arrived at 18:00 evening hours, the reception guy was very rude when we asked him politely to check if there are rooms in upper floors, we only asked didn't even insist. After 12 hours of travel, we only wanted the room. We stayed 5 nights in this hotel. They charged us 90€ per night for one room. For this price we could have gone to a way better hotel with better treatment and breakfast. The breakfast room there were flies, i would suggest you work on hygiene. AND NO tell your breakfast manager, CORONA IS NOT OVER. You can keep that to yourselves. Some of us actually lost loved ones to Covid 19. Just respect it and dont comment on guests wearing masks the whole time we stayed every morning he had to comment on it, even if you mean well just stop. |We were told breakfast opens at 07:00, the day we had a trip, we were there at 07:00 and the resturant was not ready. So just update your guests. And when it is 09:00 they stop refreshing food. So just pay attention not to be late for your breakfast. Actually the breakfast had a variety of food but I just rather to buy outside since the coffee is not tasty, I found a beard hair in the vegetable salad. So again HYGIENE IS IMPORTANT. breakfast room is relatively small and has low celieng which is a nightmare. |Overall I would not want to come back to this hotel nor...
Read moreWith mixed feelings (rage and disappointment) I have no choice but to give the Eurostars Hotel in the old city in Istanbul a 1 star rating out of 5 (since there is no option to give them zero or negative stars).|We got a room in their attic, a real attic, with a slanted wall. There was only 1 meter (3 foot) of straight ceiling.|This was so bad that the shower was no fit for an adult person. The glass door of the shower could be opened only 40 centimeters (16") because it bumped into the slanted wall/ceiling.|Fortunately I still have above average flexibility from my years of gymnastic training - it didn't get me to the olympics but it helped me get into the shower and out of it without suffering severe injuries.|But I wasn't lucky all the way through because I bumped my head on the wall several times every time I took a shower. On the bright side, maybe I'll suffer from amnesia because of these bumps and I'll forget all the sufferring during this vacation.|Oh, I almost forgot (told you, head injury, amnesia..) - the room had no normal windows because it had no straight wall. It had a window in the slanted roof but we couldn't open it because there was a seagull nest outside with a chick in it which made noise when it was hungry (or bored) and the mother seagull came to visit and bring food and mainly to complain how bad was her day (she kept yelling while talking).|Someone like me who doesn't live close to the sea might think that the sound of a seagull in the sky is nice, but when it's outside your window it sounds like a donkey. If you ask me it should be called seadonkey instead...

Every single person we met—whether at breakfast, in the corridors, or during cleaning—was incredibly friendly and caring.||The location is unbeatable: just a short walk to Istanbul’s most iconic sights, like Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, and more. It made exploring the city with kids easy and enjoyable.||The hotel itself is slightly old but extremely clean. Housekeeping came every day, and if we needed anything, the staff responded immediately and went out of their way to help.||And the breakfast? Absolutely amazing. Fresh, delicious, and full of variety—there was something for everyone, including our kids. It gave us the perfect start to each day.||Traveling with children, especially a child with special needs, is not always easy—but here, we felt seen, supported, and respected. The way they treated both of our children, including our toddler, was so kind and thoughtful. That alone meant the world to us.||If you're a family, especially with young kids or children with special needs, and want a safe, clean, welcoming hotel in the historic heart of Istanbul, I wholeheartedly recommend Eurostars Hotel Old City.
