Great value for money, friendly staff. And a fantastic location!!
Travelled on 02/2025
The Holiday Inn - Old City is centrally located, and a short 30 min walk to all the main sights (Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern, Topkapi Palace, etc)
We were here for six nights, and loved every day. The tram stop is a very short walk away (10 min).. Jump on the tram, and two stops later.. you're amongst all the sights you want to see!
Location wise - this is great!
Our room was comfortable.. the vi...

Unforgettable Istanbul: A Perfect Blend of History, Charm, and Relaxation
Travelled on 05/2024
Visiting Istanbul in late May was an absolute dream! The weather was perfect, and the citys blend of history and modern charm created a relaxed yet vibrant atmosphere. Our stay at the Holiday Inn Istanbul Old City was ideal, with key sights like the Blue Mosque and Grand Bazaar just a short walk away.
We spent our days wandering through the colourful streets of Sultanahmet, enjoying delicious meals at places like Me...

Final update.
Kemal decided to confront me in the lobby where I was sitting in a chair relaxing. He said he saw my review, but I just replied Ok?, and he kept repeating it trying to instigate something.
He continued that he wasnt happy about it. Then he said where is your friend? With a smirk on his face. I told him he went home since we walked all day.
But then I realized he was just rubbing it in my face...

A good option to stay near the Old City
Travelled on 12/2024
Overall, the hotel and its facilities are in good condition. We chose this hotel based on its location and positive reviews. While the check-in process took a bit longer due to multiple guests arriving at the same time, the staff was courteous throughout.
We initially booked a standard room with a double bed, but the view faced a wall, which we didnt quite like. The reception staff was helpful and promptly accommod...
