Swayed by the really beautiful pictures on booking website, and the convenient location made us go for the Hippodrome Hotel. Well, Istambul is a little tricky for a the first time. Most of these pictures are of their sister property, across the road Azade Hotel where you have to go for their complimentary breakfast. There is no view to speak... More

The location is perfect, near Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, restaurants and not far away from trem stations. It is also quite, since the hotel is located in Sultanahmet Old City. It is a friendly hotel, small but with cozy room, feels at home... Restaurant for daily breakfast is located at (shared with) Best Western Hotel. The staffs are so helpful... More

My wife and I stayed at this Hotel, for a 5-day mini-break in April. Booked through BA, this was a lovely little place, located in the old city, and a stone's throw from the Blue Mosque, and Hagia Sophia Museum. The staff were all very hepful, (especially Hasan), and available all times. Whether it was catching the tram, or going... More

Everything about this hotel was wonderful.The people (Arzu,Caner,Hasan,İlker and bellboy) the room, the location, the price, the view, the breakfast. Everything was wonderful. The staff there were so helpful in giving information about places to see and things to do. Our vacation was very nice in Istanbul.

We recently stayed in a small room L2 behind reception (booked through trip with BA). On the morning of the day before leaving we found our suitcase lock had been forced. Also a pair of Prada sunglasses had been stolen but the case was still there. We found too that make up had been taken from the bathroom.This was extremely... More

We spent 5 nights here in early March so the price was low season. Easily accessible to nearby attractions, small bazaar and tram. Delightful staff at front desk. Spoke good English. Helped with our return shuttle to airport and kept our luggage after morning checkout for a late night flight. Breakfast at hotel down the street (100 yards away) gave... More

The hotel is located in a convenient location to the popular tourist sites but the hotel leaves a lot to be desired. Rooms are small. The closet doors don't fully open without moving the bed. Morning prayers will wake you up unless you're a very deep sleeper. Wifi is free but pretty poor as well.

Like Lulujack we booked this hotel through BA. We were given a room in the 'Apartments', which are across the road from the main hotel. I think the range of reviews reflects the range of rooms available, and I suspect the hotel gives the worst rooms to customers who have booked through the airlines. The 'apartments' are simply rooms with... More
