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 ### 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 ### 8/10 Good #### norman May 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Really well located hotel with an excellent breakfast.

Also, some of major tourist sites are near the hotel. It's nice and clean accommodation with delicious breakfast. Most receptionists were fundamentally nice to me and quickly reponded to my requests. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Kathryn Jun 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I like this hotel very much. The breakfast is good. I wish they were open a little longer in the morning. My room was comfortable. The carpeting needs cleaning. The staff is very nice.

Cleaning was daily too ##### Anastasiia Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### James May 22, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Solid Hotel Solid Hotel in a great location. 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 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Sep 24, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### suitable for a reasonable price Convenient location, included breakfast in a pleasant room, accomodations were adequate. The walls were thin and noisy neighbors made sleeping difficult. I would try elsewhere. ##### Verified traveller ### 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 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Oct 16, 2013 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### not good lifts not working, lights not working, horrid room, rude receptionist. After complaining, we were immediately moved to a sister hotel which was very good. I would not recommend the Ilkay unless you are used to staying in a hostel. ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### Kathryn Oct 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Hello! 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 ### 4/10 Poor #### Mark Nov 26, 2014 Disliked: Room comfort #### Great location, not a haven after a long day The hotel was centrally located, easy walking distance to main attractions. The room was a little tired looking, but functional. It felt a bit like a dorm room, instead of a welcoming hotel room. The room we had was in the older section of the hotel, above a noisy bar, and facing onto a busy (ready more noise) tramline. After a long hard day, we didn't really see our room as a retreat from the vibrant city. Sleeping in the early hours also proved difficult. Perhaps the other side of the hotel would have given more joy? Given the cost and location, I wasn't expecting much, but perhaps a little more. ##### Mark ### 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. ### 4/10 Poor #### BENNY Aug 9, 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities I stayed in this hotel for few days. Will NOT mention names as I follow the RULES and REGULATIONS of EXPEDIA. My hotel room bed sheets were NOT CHANGED AT ALL for 5 days, even though I REQUESTED FEW TIMES from the 2 cleaning ladies and also told the house keeping and also requested/complained to the lady at the Hotel Reception. On my last day, I nice house keeping man changed bed sheets. For 5 days, I HAD TO SLEEP ON DIRTY SHEETS FROM PREVIOUS GUESTS. ##### BENNY Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2022 ### 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 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Alan Jan 2, 2014 Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort There is a construction site behind the hotel. This has, apparently, permission to run three shifts over 24 hours, seven days a week. This makes the hotel fine for anything but actually sleeping at night, a fact the hotel manager seems to have difficulty with. We did not appreciate sarcastic offers to stay at his house instead. Eventually, we were moved to Hotel Erboy around the corner. The staff here were lovely and the hotel far superior. At present, the Alkay is not suitable for anyone to stay there and I suggest that Expedia remove it from their website. Oh, and by the way, we didn't enjoy being lied to about the availability of other rooms in the hotel. ##### Alan ### 8/10 Good #### Kathryn Sep 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I really enjoyed the breakfast and the breakfast staff. One of the maids kept taking the toilet paper from my room. I thought that was rude and strange. My travel guide had a difficult time speaking to me when he would contact the hotel. Someone told him that they could not connect him to my room telephone. This became a problem for me until I was able to fix the problem with one of the front desk employees. The location is excellent; however, the tram line is extremely noisy into the late-night hours. The noise also starts early in the morning, and it interrupted my sleep. ##### Kathryn Stayed 13 nights in Aug 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Marmara Pera](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-The-Marmara-Pera.h11691.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel, Istanbul Sisli](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel.h6250043.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at Sultanahmet - Special Class](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Istanbul-At-Sultanahmet.h443490.Hotel-Information) > > [Hagia Sofia Mansions Istanbul, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Hagia-Sofia-Mansions-Istanbul.h29743791.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at the Bosphorus](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Istanbul-At-The-Bosphorus.h1856092.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel Istanbul Taksim](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Sofitel-Istanbul-Taksim.h42400472.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Quasar Istanbul](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Fairmont-Quasar-Istanbul.h16385021.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hyatt Istanbul](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Grand-Hyatt-Istanbul.h14428.Hotel-Information) > > [The Marmara Taksim](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-The-Marmara-Taksim.h26048.Hotel-Information) > > [GLK PREMIER Regency Suites & Spa - Special Class](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-GLK-PREMIER-Regency-Suites-Spa.h1876165.Hotel-Information) > > [Sultanhan Hotel - Special Class](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Sultanhan-Hotel-Special-Class.h1388776.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Grand Istanbul Kalamis Marina Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Wyndham-Grand-Istanbul-Kalamis-Marina-Hotel.h5484206.Hotel-Information) > > [Istanbul Marriott Hotel Sisli](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Istanbul-Marriott-Hotel-Sisli.h6771400.Hotel-Information) > > [CVK Park Bosphorus Hotel Istanbul](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-CVK-Park-Bosphorus-Hotel-Istanbul.h6055713.Hotel-Information) > > [Sultanahmet Palace Hotel - Special Class](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Sultanahmet-Palace-Hotel-Special-Class.h479516.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Istanbul Bomonti Hotel & Conference Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Hilton-Istanbul-Bomonti-Hotel-Conference-Center.h6226720.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Istanbul Bosphorus](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Hilton-Istanbul-Bosphorus.h20867.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Istanbul City Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Sheraton-Istanbul-City-Center.h38329865.Hotel-Information) > > [Conrad Istanbul Bosphorus](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Conrad-Istanbul-Bosphorus.h15234.Hotel-Information) > > [Sura Hagia Sophia Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Sura-Hagia-Sophia-Hotel.h8046669.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Yavuz Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Grand-Yavuz-Hotel.h531232.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Istanbul by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-InterContinental-Istanbul.h521137.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton.h565576.Hotel-Information) > > [Dorne Suite Taksim](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Dorne-Suite-Taksim.h38494876.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Cevahir Hotel & Convention Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Grand-Cevahir-Hotel-Convention-Center.h972529.Hotel-Information) > > [Pera Palace Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Pera-Palace-Hotel.h20555.Hotel-Information) > > [Elite World Grand Istanbul Kucukyali ](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Elite-World-Asia-Hotel.h26886285.Hotel-Information) > > [Barcelo Istanbul](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Barcelo-Istanbul.h32516024.Hotel-Information) > > [Swissotel The Bosphorus Istanbul](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Swissotel-The-Bosphorus-Istanbul.h889869.Hotel-Information)
