I can only assume anybody criticising this hotel stays in some high-level places because I thought it was great. Rooms are small but not cramped, furnishings and fittings are all very nice, the breakfast is good and the gym has 2 treadmills, a walker and some weights. The bath and the jacuzzi are small but again very nice. Just outside... More

I've stayed in this hotel on two occasions, in February and March of 2012. I have recommended this hotel to several friends headed to Istanbul if you want to be close to Sultanahmet and the tram line, without being totally isolated in the tourist district. The hotel is close to a vibrant area (Aksaray) with the city tram line just... More

I will say that the hotel was clean and nice. The staff was very friendly and it was a comfortable stay. If you just need a place to sleep and do not plan on spending much time in the hotel, its ok. What they neglect to say is the location is terrible. You are right off of a major road... More

My girlfriend and I stayed at this hotel during a trip to Istanbul in May of 2012. We also stayed in the Sultanahmet tourist area and we preferred the more authentic feel of Grand Durmaz' location. It's a block off the public transit line, and we found it very convenient for us. Although our taxi driver did find it difficult... More

We stayed for two nights and had good stay. Staff are helpful and pleasant, and the hotel is conveniently located - a tram stop is just around the corner and Aksaray metro station less than ten minutes' walk, at a busy part of the old town, so not easy to locate, not just for out-of- town folks.

We stayed in the hotel 3-6 November. When we came very early (8am) we were suggested to take a tea and wait some time before our room would be cleaned.

Ok..I made a HUGE mistake of booking a non-refundable room!!! I still regret it, our Istanbul trip was have been much better! Seriously!!! We arrived in IST on a very early flt and reached the hotel @ 8am. I totally understand that they didn't have any rooms as they were fully booked.
