What a lovely place to stay, a wonderful community of people, from the front desk, to bar staff, kitchen, spa services. These people really know how to give brilliant hospitality. They work hard to keep the customers happy, they made us feel welcomed the very first day all the way to our very last day. ❣️ Such a wonderful bunch of staff. I would definitely be returning. It’s clean, smells lovely, fresh with a modern look. The food was lovely. It’s the first hotel I have been to that have gluten free products on display at breakfast without me having to ask for it. Biscuits, cake and bread. This is rare I was so pleased to see this. Every hotel should do this. To accommodate everyones needs. The front desk were so helpful with anything we needed and also helped us to find tours or travel and outside entertainment and site seeing around the Istanbul city. It was such a pleasant and enjoyable stay. The staff are loving, caring and really care about their guests. They go the extra mile to make you feel happy with your stay. Kemel Gigdem, Faith and Mashsun they were my favorites and Spa service staff plus The hospitality staff made breakfast feel great. Front desk is the best, they set the tone for the hotel and bring high expectations and you definitely see it. We will certainly be coming back. Thank you Holiday inn Old City Istanbul.

Disliked: Cleanliness
I’ve been to many Holiday Inn hotels before, however this one at this location is below expectation. Upon arrival my room was not available due to my early flight. So I paid for half a day and was given a very compact room. Two beds and a sofa bed that didn’t fold and was resting on a metal base. Safe was not working and couldn’t dial out . House keeping appeared to be very rushed! Kemal night shift worker was extremely helpful though when I explained that someone on the tram stole my wallet from my bag. Travellers be aware of packed out trams that’s when thieves grab opportunities.

Dirty hotel

This hotel was not clean at all. The balcony room was nothing like what they described it to be. It was completely closed and it had bird poop all over the floor. The room was dirty and had mold. The bathroom was also disgusting. We had breakfast one of the days and it was so awful, food was terrible and it had an awful smell. I will say the front desk man(I believe his name was Osamn) was very nice and professional. He introduced us into multiple tours and the tour we finally chose was amazing.
