Great trip but basic hotel

This hotel is all about the location, right in the centre of the old city, close to all the tourist attractions. Hotel is very basic, stayed in a single room which was very small. Beds are uncomfortable to sleep in and poor wifi connection. Not a massive selection for breakfast with very random breakfast choices. i.e. chips. If your looking to stay in a cheap hotel in the old city close to the attractions and not fussed about the facility then this is the place

Disappointing

I was extremely disappointed with the hotel-especially the room. It was 100% NOT a 4* hotel or room. The room and bathroom was tiny and view out of the window was disgusting. The breakfast restaurant was lovely which suggests there were far better rooms I could have had-a room that met the price I paid. Staff were helpful and polite. The best part was the location

Wonderful trip to Istanbul.

I believe, it is an excellent middle-grade hotel to stay comfortably with no noise around. More importantly it is very center and walking distance of all the historical visiting venues & shopping markets , therefore no need for internal travel expenses. We have enjoyed the hotel's items of the breakfast. The staff members are very gentle and helpful. Overall, we are all impressed and hence decided, if we consider to visit Istanbul again we shall try to avail the opportunity to stay in Ipek Palas Hotel.

Room was very noisy...

My room was facing a construction site so it was very noisy even with the windows closed...and it was always too hot in the room.... It was a bit annoying that one of the Receptionist was always badgering me into booking tour with the hotel. He just would not give me directions to get to an attraction on public transport. Also, when I asked for a suggestion for a nice resturant, he didnt recommend any place other than the resturant in the hotel. Shower was really really small and water was not drainning well at all. It was a nightmare to take shower. Location was quite central and close to the tram station... Overall it was not good value for money at all considering I paid about 50£ per night for a very small economy room.
