We stayed at this hotel for 5 nights. There are no complaints! Yes, the hotel is not new, the furniture is "worn out", but for us these are not disadvantages. Very calm, quiet, clean, no foreign odors. The rooms are cleaned and linen and towels are changed daily, the staff fulfills any request very quickly. The breakfast is quite varied. The Wi-Fi was working properly and quickly. The staff is friendly and very courteous. The location is very convenient - there is a metro station within a minute's walk. The main attractions of the area are within walking distance. There is indeed a terrace on the 5th floor, but we haven't used it since we were in February)
We stayed at the Raymond Hotel for two nights, we really liked everything, cleanliness everywhere, excellent service, the breakfasts were very tasty, the hosts were very friendly, we felt at home, although it was the first time in Istanbul, and the city struck with its contrast. The MOST IMPORTANT thing is the very center, all the sights (Hagia Sophia Cathedral, Grand Bazaar, Basilica Cistern, etc.) are 5-18 minutes away, we walked everywhere. I recommend it 100 percent, we'll come back again!!!
We stayed at this hotel in February 2025, for 6 nights. Economy room, lots of bugs. The watering can at the shower was splashing in all directions. the dirt is behind the refrigerator. the radiator was not working properly. The room was cold. There was a lot of wind blowing from the windows. The air conditioner did not work well for heating. The linen was changed every three days. The breakfasts are not satisfying, I'm not used to eating lentil soup in the morning. I didn't feel a good attitude. Everything is quiet and peaceful. The pillow and blanket are good. We came in the evening and had a rest, so this hotel suited us. There are few of our Russian channels, we searched for them ourselves, no one suggested it. The hotel itself is clean and quiet. But it's very budget friendly.
