When we arrived, the staff had an enormous group to deal with and were less than friendly; all later interactions were just fine. The rooms (and we stayed in 2 different rooms, one at the beginning of our trip, the other at the end) were comfortable although as others have said, the air conditioning units are noisy. Breakfast was OK,... more

The hotel is well located near the major historical attractions of Istanbul. The rooms and lobby are decorated in a modern Turk-kitsch style. The neighborhood is far from fashionable but OK. The hotel was kept clean. Our room was well-furnished and the bathroom was adequate. However, there is no sound-proofing and the air-conditioning unit makes a lot of noise. Breakfast... more

The Maywood is quite new, with all furnishings shiny and clean, in the popular Sirkeci area within walking distance to cafes, restaurants and local attractions. Very comfortable rooms at treasonable rates, and a lovely buffet breakfast. Great staff, very helpful in assisting us to locate and retrieve missing luggage that had been left behind in London. We highly recommend it! more

Firstly I tried to book the Sapphire hotel but was informed that there were no vacancies and was offered accommodation in their sister hotel the Maywood. I reviewed tripadvisor before agreeing and had no problem with the suggestion based on travellers comments. The hotel is located in the... more

My husband and I stayed here for 4 days and we were very happy with the hotel. It is within close walking distance to many monuments, etc. and about a 30 min walk from the Grand Bazaar. Our room had space for two twin beds pushed together, plus a table. It was very nice and clean and well appointed, but... more

We stayed for 2 nights at the Maywood hotel early October. They picked us up at the airport, we received a friendly reception with a drink (non-alcoholic) and began our stay in Istanbul in a very comfortable, affordable hotel. They even had free Wi-Fi. The breakfast was extensive, and even included Halvah! I recommend this hotel to anyone who likes... more

The hotel is wonderful. It's completely new (open in March 2009), the rooms are very big and comfortable, with a large bath and extremely clean. It is in a very good position (close to Topkapi palace) to visit the main amenities of Sultanahmet, the heart of Istanbul. The breakfast offers a huge quantity of delicious things. The personnel is kind... more
