We made our reservation based on facilities available in this hotel. Please don't make the same mistake, it's all a big lie. While the pool is there, open and you are welcome to it, it sadly lacks water. Staff doesn't seem to find that problematic since its 'open' and the water should be 'delivered any day now.' Sauna... Dream on.

Placed in Aksaray, just 2 tram stations away from the Grand bazar and 4 stations from SultanAhmet where the main tourist attractions are, I would give 4 point out of 5 for placement, 3 points for the welcoming lobby and the friendly reception staff - but only friendly cause when we said we had a problem with the heating system...

The hotel was on very good place, close enough to everything and far enough to sleep the night. Although the breakfast was normal and not real Turkish, all services were OK. The room was as they promised and not a "Photoshop". the stuff was very helpful, and tried to help in everything, on all languages.

The absolute worst hotel I have ever stayed in. It is sooo bad that I felt compelled to write a review while still here. It is absolutely the noisiest hotel I have ever been in. Because the price is cheap the hotel is filled with young people who scream, drink in the rooms and basically party all night!! After complaining... More

We have stayed twice in Grand Unal and I would say that this is one of the nice and good looking 3 star (if I am not wrong) hotels at the Aksaray & Laleli area. The location is pretty good - it is a walking distance (like 15 min) to Grand Bazar and maybe another 10-15 min from there to... More

I just came back yesterday and stayed at this hotel for 5days. The location is awful and noisy, though it is central but I would classify it as rough. The staff literally can't speak english and communication was very poor. We had two rooms as there was 5 of us and room service wouldn't clean our room in the morning... More

Terrible location. Small, noisy, dark and dirty room. During the week stay our room had never been cleaned!!!!! Staff cheating on the first day: the price of tram tickets we were offered at the front desk were 2,5 times higher than on the street.
