4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 June 2013 NEW

Tantalisingly positioned by a seemingly unswimmable sea, the hotel is shoehorned into the narrow space between the old city wall and a somewhat relentless highway, but nevertheless enjoys a cool breeze and views. (One negative point - not the hotel's fault - is the road design in front of the hotel. When the traffic lights go green, eastbound traffic often... More

very nice Hotel in nice surroundings. One can just step out of the Hotel and jump into quodidienne life. The only critisism is the breakfast: 365 days / year always the same. The breakfast hall is far too hot (aircon not turned on) and there is no diversity at all at the breakfast, although turkish cuisine is very versatile. Apart... More

The Kalyon Hotel is very nicely located in fromt of the Marmara sea; so the view from the window on the front is very nice. Unfortunately there is a busy road in between, which you can hear in the room. By putting the airco on, this noice is removed. Nice rooms, you sleep well. The hotel staff is very good,... More

On arrival we were disappointed to find we had a room at the back of the hotel when the Marmara Sea was right in the front. On looking out of our window we got the best surprise of all.... The most fabulous view of the Blue Mosque. We could see it from the (hard)bed and day or night it was... More

I just completed a 6 night business stay and after mulling over my experience, I can honestly say I wished I had picked another hotel.
