Ilkay Hotel

Breakfast normal continental
Location good

Some staff are still very helpful. The potential is there.

Excellent location as a base for a visit to Istanbul. Quiet room and all the facilities worked. Close to the historic sites and very convenient for public transport links.

Чистота, вежливый персонал, расположение

Great Location to get anywhere in the city you need. 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.

Really well located hotel with an excellent breakfast. Staff changed our room to the rear of the hotel when we asked a quiet room. I would definitely stay again
Room quite small, but this is to be expected in city centre hotel.

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

A nice hotel - very well situated, room was very clean, all facilities worked and the staff are friendly and helpful.

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.

Everthing was nice and clean. Breakfast was a bit modest but totally enough. Reception worker was very helpful and gave us some tips and hints where to go.

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.
