Very comfortable hotel and quiet oasis in heart of old city. Very close to tram/bus station and Grand Bazaar (5 mins. walk) and short tram ride or 15 mins. walk to Blue Mosque, etc. Friendly and efficient staff. Roof top restaurant great for views and good food, but if staying a few days I would advise visiting some of the... More

On arriving at this hotel I thought it was the same as any other reasonable hotel in a big city - reception was OK, very efficient with luggage, but a bit slow as it was understaffed. The rooms were like any in a city hotel - you could be anywhere. However, the room was comfortable with the bed absolute bliss... More

Situated in the old part of Istanbul in a narrow hilly street this hotel is an ideal position to explore. Only minutes away from the Grand Bazaar, etc it served us very well for a 2 day visit. Loved the roof top terrace and restaurant, the views are stunning. Swimming pool is small and indoors and good if you like... More

We landed in Istanbul at 5:00 from Johannesburg, we had a unpleasant flight on Turkish Airlines and passport control at the airport was not welcoming at all. We arrived at the hotel, stored our bags and went to walk around until we could check in. The people of the city were not very welcoming to us and from the get... More

Best Western Plus President Hotel is ideally located to move around on foot but not by public transit especially in rush hours. If you are a senior, no problem, you will be offered a seat as soon as you step in the Tramway. It is the Turkish tradition to respect the older people by the younger generation. Not even once,...
