Nice hotel with walking distance to Metro station Sishane. Also walking distance to Galata Tower area. The hotel downside is only small lift available (max of 2-3pax) to the room.

We had a room with a beautiful view of the Golden Horn. But with the windows open it is very noisy. The AC didn’t work very well. So we left our windows open during the day to get fresh air (October so it was cooler) and then shut them at night. I don’t know what you would do in the summer. One day the cleaning staff left a cleaning rag in the room - guess that could happen any where but it looked like they got interrupted and never finished cleaning the bathroom. The breakfast buffet was huge like many Turkish hotels but the food was just so-so. The staff cleared our dishes off so quickly we sometimes lost food we hadn’t eaten. We caused an uproar one morning by moving a small table so 6 of us could sit together. One of the waitresses started yelling at us in Turkish - seemed a bit of an overreaction. This hotel has just seen better days. They also skimp on small things - like they won’t replace the tea and coffee packets - you have to pay after the first ones are gone. Same with the water. That’s just cheap and makes no sense. The worst thing was that Saturday night they had a huge party on the roof until midnight. The entire hotel shook with the music and drumming. It was hard to get to sleep.

I have reserved this hotel trough a travel agency they gave me a room and wrote it has a land view when I went to hotel it was a room with wall view when I objected they said land view means the hotel is built on land !!! Its good they told me this otherwise I would think the hotels are built on air !! The doorman of hotel was very rude ! He was quite impolite ! The breakfast was very normal I asked for scrambled age they said I have to pay 65 lira it’s odd !!! I never offer this hotel to anyone !!

I was in Istanbul with my friend. We came with a travel agency from Macedonia to spent nice time together. Grand Halic hotel is a nice hotel. The hotel have a perfect location. It is very easy to go to a lot of famous places in Istanbul. The staff is very helpful. Good for the money you spent.

On November 30, we went to Grand Haliç Hotel (Şişhane Istanbul) and got a room. They said let's give a sea view room for the price of a land view room. Room 504 was prepared and we waited for it. Around afternoon. We entered the room, settled down and decided to get some sleep. A repair has begun. We said it would be over, but it never ended. We called the reception and told them that they were changing the bathtub. They literally hollowed out our minds. They offered to change the room, but since there is such a repair, one should give a warning and not give that room. I wasted my money.

I stayed in this hall with my wife and son for 4 nights. The location of this hotel was great, The hotel staff cooperated with us regarding the room problems. Breakfast was satisfactory, Rooms facing the street have a better view , But all the rooms are small, Daily charging of water and coffee in the room is done regularly and Wi-Fi is good.

I’ve just arrived at grand halic hotel in Istanbul and our room was very hot because the room air conditioner doesn’t work. Inside our room hotter than outside! There is no toothbrush, body lotion, cup or glass and refrigerator is empty! When I want to call reception I find out that the telephone is broken too! I went 6 floor down to reception to complain about our room, the receptionist old man was very rude and very pilotless say our room has everything and here is 4 star hotel not more!
