Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

incredibly well located in the old city right next to a tram stop. Good parking right outside the front door. Reception staff were really friendly and helpful. Even walking us down the road and up an elevator to show us to a restaurant. Breakfast was fine and again had friendly staff. Stayed for 2 nights with my son and brother in law.

Getting to the hotel. - take a cab from the airport we paid around 700 liras which is an average cost. We took a yellow cab. - The hotel staff were actually really amazing and very responsive. I was coordinating with the staff in the hotel via text and requested them to keep my room keys ready as I just needed to crash due to long travel. When I arrived they already had the keys ready and within 5 mins I was in my room. So amazing job for checking me in it was super easy. -The room is not very big atleast the one which I stayed in barely any space to move around in the room so you can just sleep. - The location is the highlight as you can just walk around to the main attractions. And the tram station is just next to the hotel. - Travelling around was very convenient which I always look for before booking any hotel. - Now The reason for me to give 3 stars is because of the toilet being dirty broken and also leaking toilet bowl the toilet cleanliness is the major requirement for me due to Hygiene purposes however the one in my room smelled bad and dirty which was a major flaw. Also on the first night the ac was not working and they informed us that they can’t fix it as it’s centralized ac which I understand as it’s technical stuff and can’t get a technician in the middle off the night , to our luck windows could be kept open and the weather was nice so AC issue didn’t affect us too much. BUT STILL THE TOILETS UHH I wish this could be taken care of. Apart from all this breakfast is ok not great not bad just ok. I would like to highlight the staff were really welcoming it’s just the wear and tear of the hotel. I hope this review would be helpful for whoever is about to visit.

Very nice hotel. Great Location. The rooms on the end look out into the street and the park next door. But also look out onto the streetcar tracks which drive into the night and early morning. Pretty loud. Also there are a few Mosques very nearby and they broadcast the call to worship in late evening and very early morning. But still, nice place to stay.

Staff were friendly and attentive in this 3 star hotel. Buffet breakfast was also fine in the roof top restaurant with nice view. Main advantage is the prime location in the historical part of the city. Note that the standard rooms are quite small and barely fit a large suitcase. Rooms are clean. During our stay there were also some issues with the airconditioning.

Called the hotel first pre reservation, and they agreed to allow my 9 year old to sleep on the Queen bed in a standard room as they didn't have availability for a family room. Once I booked the room I sent them an email asking for something in writing. The response post booking was to go back on what they said on the phone and instead say i needed to pay for another room as it would be uncomfortable for us if 2 adults and a child slept on the same bed. Imagine turning up and having to pay for a separate room for a small child!! I also think i should be the judge of whether its comfortable or not, i have also stayed here previously and recommended to friends where we did a group 5 room booking pre Covid. Looks like the staff/standards have dropped. Thank God to booking.com because I booked with a cancellation option at no cost otherwise it would have been a very costly lie on the part of this hotel.

The location is perfect for tourists who would like to visit all the attractions in Istanbul on public transport. Some of the attractions are accessible on foot . The breakfast served at the hotel is excellent. The most striking feature of the hotel is the staff members, extremely caring and my son of 18 months enjoyed their company more than anything else.

The location of this hotel is perfect. All major attractions are within walking distance. Tram stop, ATMs (5 banks), transport card top-up point under the hotel windows. Lots of restaurants there too. There is a souvenir shop on the ground floor with a 20% discount for hotel guests. A varied breakfast is served on the 5th floor with a magnificent view of Gulhane Park and the Bosphorus. Scrambled eggs can be cooked for an additional fee. My room was on the 2nd floor, small but very cozy. Cleaning is daily. Despite my sleep problems, I always managed to get enough sleep, the bed is comfortable, 4 pillows. Good quality linens and towels. The room has everything you can imagine: slippers, mini-fridge, shower gel, shampoo, hair conditioner, body lotion, shaving kit, toothbrush and toothpaste, soap, hairdryer, sewing kit, cotton pads , cotton swabs, shower cap. The air conditioner works good. Teapot, cups, coffee, tea, sugar. And this is not the limit! If you need something, just tell the reception and they will help you as soon as possible. The hotel staff are wonderful people. I was alone and they tried to help me with everything: from a broken transport card to a paper towel in the middle of the night. 5 stars service. The question of choosing a hotel for the next trip has been resolved. I will recommend it to my friends. The perfect choice!

The best family hotel in Istanbul. Also one of the best ever I have met in hotel industry his name is the marvelous Ugur at the front desk. He is very supportive, professional, polite, helpful and many more. He offers help with a great smile. Honestly he made my trip to Istanbul an amazing experience which I wont forget. The hotel location is great and near everything you need to see of historical places to restaurants. I encourage visitors to Istanbul to come and try Idylle Hotel. Thanks also to the amazing staff. See you all next year.

This is only the second negative review I’m writing, and this hotel deserves it to the moon and back. When I was booking with them, seeing all these amazing critics, I wouldn’t imagine what could possibly happen. We were given room 108. We arrived at midnight, and we saw that the room was too close to the street. I walked down to reception, and asked very politely the employee at shift to change our room if possible. He replied in a way that you could tell he just didn’t want-didn’t care to help, that “we are full”. But we hadn’t seen the big picture yet. At 6 am or sth like that, the tram begins it’s routes. And our room was right above the tram stop! We could hear every three minutes the tram arriving, leaving, tootling, sometimes even the “lady” anouncing the stops saying her “poem” . We could hear in detail the passengers waiting at the station, talking, laughing, whatever. Though our room was sure the closest to the station, perhaps only 4-5 metres away (taking on account not only the length distance but also the height distance) only divided by a single wall, most of this hotel’s rooms are on the same side as our room. So I don’t know how anybody on this side gets to sleep at all. It really is hard to sleep under these circumstances. I managed to sleep a little, my wife didn’t at all. In the morning, she didn’t even want to go up for breakfast, her nerves were so tensed. I reached out to the reception, were I found a very kind man in shift. He cared for us and attempted to help us. He supplied us with two options to change our room. He even let me have a look inside one of these rooms, whose clients had only a little while ago left, in order to see if it was meeting our needs. I decided that room 205 would be in place to accommodate us, since it was on the other side of the street. So I agreed with this kind man to move to this room. We left our luggage in 108, left for sightseeing, and agreed with this man in charge that the hotel’s staff would move our luggage to our “new” room, 205. We never made it to 205 though. After many hours, around 9 pm, we returned back to the hotel. The “we are full” guy was again in charge, like the night before. I assumed that shouldn’t be of a problem, since we fixed all problems in the morning. But no: (!) I walked to reach the counter, and said to him that we are at 205. He looked at me with a face of curiosity and tried to say sth so I immediately said that “we have arranged this with the hotel manager in the morning, we changed to 205”. He disagreed. He reached out to the phone, called somebody (I assume the kind man in charge in the morning shift) and talked to him in Turkish for a full 3 minutes. I wonder what there was to say for so long, considering what he told me afterwards. He told me that 205 was not available. It was full, and there was no way to be given to us. He said that the man in charge in the morning made a mistake. 205 was occupied. “But I got into this room myself, I saw it, I used the room card, the guests had only checked out, the room was empty”. “Yes, but there was a reservation, and he (the morning shift) made a mistake. It was his mistake but 205 is not available”. I don’t know if he was lying, whose fault was it, if there was a misunderstanding between the hotel’s stuff, whatever. Tragic first night, tragic second night. We left the hotel and started wandering around with my wife, with our luggage at hand, to find a new hotel to stay. We only payed for the first night, and to their credit they didn’t charge us for the rest of our booking (perhaps if it has not been the hysteric response of my wife when I explained her what happened, that this guy wouldn’t be so generous and would have insisted to the terms of the initial booking). Apart of all that, I have to say that 1) this hotel is in very good location, close to Agya Sofya, Blue Mosque, Sultan Hammam and in excellent walking distance of pretty much many interesting things. Tram station is also very close (loool) to the hotel, you can go anywhere. 2) Poor breakfast. But I assume this was not their fault at all since, from what I’ve heard, perhaps the most Istanbul hotels offer insufficient breakfast.
