Hotels near galeria rugs in Istanbul

If I am ever back to Istanbul, this is the place I would like to stay in again! The location is excellent, close to all the historic places, 5 minutes walking to Aya Sofia, the same distance to reach the Galata Bridge to get to Karakoy. The street the hotel is situated on is full of attractions and is very good to stay and walk by. A lot of restaurants, stores, bakeries, cafes, coffee shops, all you want and need is around this hotel. The room was great, clean and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. Delicious breakfast every morning! The Red River Pub downstairs is the place to go to and enjoy! And the most valuable asset of this hotel is its staff! Helpful, caring and always responsive. Yunis and Yugmur, you are the best! The morning buffet guys and ladies, the restaurant waiters are very nice and friendly. Thank you, guys, for your hospitality and all your efforts to make my stay unforgettable!

I stayed at the Lalahan Hotel from 11 to 16 September. My flight arrived early hours of the morning of 11 September (I booked the room from the night before). The tram line runs right past the main etrance and therefore the airport shuttle could not drop me at the front door. He parked about a 3 minute walk away and helped me to push my luggage up the road. I was pleasantly surprised when the manager on duty met us halfway on foot and took over from the driver. Wifi was pure pleasure, super fast and never failed, which meant I could do some work on my laptop without issues. Breakfast was OK, I cannot compare it to any other hotels as this was my first time in Istanbul. However, it was more than adequate for my needs as it included fresh fruit, muesli, plain yoghurt, boiled eggs, cucumber, tomotoes, lovely olives and more. The tram stop was about a 4 minute walk from the hotel and what a pleasure to have such efficient transport on your doorstep! I will not hesitate to stay here again.

We travel quite a bit as a family ( 2 children ages 7 and 12 ) but don’t always review. This hotel deserves every accolade we could provide. We had a family connecting room which was great and a perfect amount of space for all. Having two bathrooms was a real plus! Beds were comfortable and the room servicing was impeccable. The people go above and beyond, are incredibly kind and hospitable. The hotel is very well kept, clean, and has such a special charm. It is perfectly located to everything in the Old Town and has a beautiful terrace to sit on and enjoy the view of the Bosphorus. We would sit out at night and watch the sun set with a glass of wine and Fanta for the kids. The breakfast is wonderful and excellent quality. Have it included in your stay if you can. It is worth it. We search for great food and this exceeded our expectation. It is so fresh and changes daily. The staff is attentive and so helpful. The shop directly beside, Tencer Gift Shop is so wonderful. The owner is so kind and generous. We recommend getting something from him over the Grand Bazaar. Overall we had an incredible experience at this hotel and would recommend it to anyone! Thank you Sirkeci Mansion from the Canadian Family.

Our stay was really pleasant and nice. The location of the hotel is great! Really close to all of the monuments, the city centre and good restaurants. You have everything you need on the same street. The staff is always friendly! At the reception Selim was really welcoming and helpful and also the guys at the breakfast service Mehmet and Yalain :) ( I hope I wrote the names right) The cleaning service also really good! At general a lovely stay for our first time in Istanbul.

I have been here at the hostel for a week. The service is very nice and they help where they can. I had a room change without problems and these are clean and relatively quietly located to a side street. The bakery faces one in the morning with the smell of fresh bread ;) However, no loud supply. Breakfast is nice, marmelade, honey, some vegetables and tea, water or coffee. It is worth mentioning that the staff members clean every day. Only in the bathroom is a hook to hang up and protect his stuff and cultural bags from wet :D

It's almost close to everything. Room looks exactly like the pictures. Service very nice. Everything was actually great, except that the room was on the street side and you could hear a bit of traffic noise in the morning, but it wasn't a problem. Everything was good.. It's plenty for people who don't stay in the room all the time..

As a solo traveeler location is everything tp explore a night or two in old city. Just 3-4 mins walking to Topkapi & Hagia sophia/Blue mosque Lovely hidden entrace to cut off the hectic street (which is very nice for having privacy in touristy area) Nice room, clean, friendly & helpful staff Well decorated in ottoman style, I love it.

Overall, the hotel is good, but not wow. I will break it down into sections. Location Good location. Just like most places in Turkey, it takes time to get to from the airport. Once at the hotel, it is about a minute away from Gulhane tram station and a 5 minute walk from Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. Not much vehicle traffic around and pretty safe to walk around. Loads of decent restaurants near the hotel and very reasonably priced restaurants also. Usual travel souvenir shops close by. couple of little convenience shops to grab drinks/snacks etc. Hotel has 39 rooms, so not overcrowded. There are not many 'high end' hotels in close proximity. Room We stayed as a family, which included 3 kids. The main bedroom had a queen sized bed and a separate room with 2 single beds. Room was clean, had adequate facilities such as iron/tea making facilities/wardrobes/lighting/balconies. Balconies are more name sake than actual balconies as you can just about stand on them, but a nice addition. With the location of the hotel, the balconies don't give you spectacular views, but that's not the hotels fault. You do hear some noise at night, but nothing that keep you awake. The hotel is not sound proofed, so you can hear noise from landing if other guests return late/leave early. Room was always made well, adequate number of towels/toiletries. The main bedroom could not be faulted. The second bedroom, which had 2 single beds in, was inadequate. It wasn't really a second bedroom. It was more of an overflow room. comparing the main bedroom with the second bedroom was miles apart. A massive disparity between rooms. Food/dining We had breakfast every morning in the hotel and only ate once at the hotel restaurant (which is at the adjoining hotel, but under the same chain. Olive restaurant, which is very good, albeit a bit on the pricier side). Breakfast choice is okay. There are traditional Turkish items, some European options such as pancakes/waffles/pastries. Would be nicer some alternative options that are not Turkish options. It is limited in that sense, but it's ok. Good hot drink selection. The staff at breakfast time are amazing, always smiling, greet you politely, remember your drinks, interact well with kids. SPA/pool Never crowded at the pool. Nice and clean. Small pool, but rarely saw other guests at the pool. Only issue with the SPA was lack of options for treatments. Unable to book a hammam due to sickness. We had a booking for our second day, which the SPA did source a therapist, but a bit disappointing that unable to book further treatments. We were English speaking guests, and at times, with some staff, communicating can be a slight issue, but not majorly. A couple of things lost due to language barriers. Overall, it is. a nice hotel and a little pricey. Is it worth the premium price? Honest answer no. Not because it is lacking anything, but because there is nothing wow to justify the price tag. A

We were very welcomed by our guest who was super sympathetic throughout our stay. We could choose our room. All is very clean and clean every day. The hotel is very well located near the shops, restaurants, metro station, monuments etc... but it is located in a street that is not noisy so noise at night! The room is equipped with air conditioning. If we go back to Istanbul, it will be in this hotel!
