Great access to public transportation and ideally located for walking. Ok breakfast. My only issue was that I had asked for a room on a higher floor and was placed directly over the bar. Only realized that I was over the bar when I came in after a day of walking and tried to get some sleep. ##### James ### 8/10 Good #### Kathryn Anne Jan 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Hello! I like staying here. I was very disappointed with the available channels on the television in my room. There are no English channels. I wanted to watch the news once in a while. I was unable to do so. Breakfast is good; however, it could be a little more relaxed for the guests. One last thing: One day I asked for a wake-up call and it came about an hour late. Please check your system. Thank you, Kathryn Daley ##### Kathryn Anne Stayed 14 nights in Jan 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Venus L. Aug 27, 2015 Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Misleading 1\. The walls are paper thin, so you hear the plumbing, doors closing, and any footsteps. 2. The nice pictures are of the renovated rooms. Unfortunately, we had an un-renovated one and it was old and dirty. 3. Our window faced a brick wall. Literally. 4.The location is conveniently close to the tram and sultanahment. 5. Breakfast is ok. 6. We had a double bedded room and it was just two twins pushed together. ##### Venus L. ### 6/10 Okay #### Jnk Acme Sep 16, 2015 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Ok, just ok The location is amazing, and the staff very helpful and friendly, unfortunately this hotel is very old and pretty dirty. It is also very noisy (that is actually the main problem.) I had to change room because of the noise but I had the same problem in the other room also as the main noise wouyld come from the water pipes mainly from the toilet. Very bothering, loud and you could hear it mainly in the early mornings. A bit pricey for what you get. ##### Jnk Acme ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Oct 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Comfortable & Convenient I needed a clean, comfortable, and conveniently located place to stay, as I planned to spend most of my time exploring Istanbul. For this purpose, this hotel was a great choice, and I can see why it receives consistently high ratings. The room was clean, the bed comfortable, and the bathroom well-equipped. Breakfast was included, and the staff were welcoming and friendly. Gulhane and Sirkeci tram and metro stations are just a short walk away, making it very easy to get around the city. Although my reservation was for the Ilkay Hotel, I was actually checked into the Lalahan Hotel. This was a bit confusing at first but didn’t impact my stay overall. A few points for future guests and for management: The adjoining street is very noisy in the evenings, be sure to close your window if you’re a light sleeper. The lift didn’t work, not a problem for me being on the first floor but not for those higher up. The television in my room wasn’t working, though I didn’t really need it. The sealant in the shower is starting to get mouldy and could use a refresh. Please consider covering the food in the breakfast buffet. Some of it was left exposed, and I noticed flies around, along with guests coughing nearby. Overall, my stay was pleasant, and I would definitely recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a central, affordable base in Istanbul. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter Oct 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent location as a base for a visit to Istanbul.

Easy walking area right out your door - as well as a tram stop close by. Simple hotel but very comfortable and reasonable. And includes a very nice Turkish breakfast in the adjoining restaurant. A great place to stay in Istanbul. All food and shopping right there and at better prices than any of the bazaars. ##### Sandra Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Cigdem Feb 20, 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities War ok ##### Cigdem Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gökhan Feb 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Was super allemaal. ##### Gökhan Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter John Jan 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A nice hotel - very well situated, room was very clean, all facilities worked and the staff are friendly and helpful. ##### Peter John Stayed 18 nights in Dec 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Marco Nov 28, 2024 #### Una sola notte Come successo molti anni prima, si viene dirottati altrove. Trovo questa pratica poco corretta. Non abbiamo potuto usufruire della colazione in quanto siamo partiti prima delle 7:30 (altrove incomincia prima).

I have stayed at the Ilkay on several past trips. I was disappointed this last time at the breakfast. I admit that I get to breakfast during the last 15-20 minutes. I dislike the way the staff make me feel pressured to hurry. The staff intends to clean up the area at exactly 10:30 a.m. and if you are eating, it feels uncomfortable. I try to hurry. I want to feel more relaxed on my holiday. People spend a lot of money to travel, and they don't want to feel pressure to hurry up and eat their breakfast. The restaurant staff can clean up without making guests feel uncomfortable. The staff at the front desk are very nice as are the cleaning staff. I like this hotel; just chill out a little at breakfast. ##### Kathryn Stayed 8 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Dieter Sep 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The staff was friendly.
