Excellent location of the hotel, close to many attractions, shops, cafes. The staff is very friendly and helpful, quick check-in. The rooms are small, but neat, clean, and have everything you need in the room. Cleaning is carried out every day, water, coffee, tea, sugar, detergents are renewed. We missed the small refrigerator a bit. Our rooms had a view of the courtyard, but it didn't bother us, since we hardly ever visited the room, and in the morning and evening it was a plus, since the hotel is located on the street with a tram.
We will be happy to stop again.
We rested at the Ilkay Hotel with my husband and daughter in October 2024. From the first minute we fell in love with the hotel, the area where it is located and the whole of Istanbul! The location is very convenient, in the heart of Istanbul. All the attractions are very close, the tram stop is nearby, it is easy to get to remote areas. The street where the hotel is located is very busy, there are many shops and cafes, everything is open until late at night, adding a special oriental flavor!!! The hotel staff is very polite and attentive, the rooms are modest but very clean, there are absolutely no foreign odors, cleaning and changing towels every day, bed linen every three days. The room is small, but very reasonably arranged, everything is convenient and comfortable. Water, tea, and coffee are replenished every day. There is a kettle, a safe. The windows of our room faced the street. The noise did not bother us, on the contrary, we were only glad that we could look at Istanbul at any time of the day. The breakfasts are excellent. They are very satisfying and varied. There are hot dishes. You eat so much that you have enough before dinner, which of course is very convenient and saves time if you want to see a lot in Istanbul. There is only one conclusion: a great hotel for a good price. Fans of intense travel programs, come here!!! The perfect combination of low price, comfort and convenience of location!!!
Very nice hotel in the center of Istanbul. Very convenient location from the main attractions and transport interchange. The hotel has a very cozy Western-style restaurant with very friendly staff! We recommend both the hotel and the restaurant attached to it!
