Pros:

Lalahan otelde konaklama imkanı bulamadık. Zira bize ayrılan odalarda teknik bir problem vardı... Ancak işletmenin yakındaki diğer otelinde bizi misafir ettiler. Otel hizmet, konfor ve güleryüzlü personel olarak gayet yeterliydi. Teşekkür ediyroum.

Excellent location close to everything, clean with average facilities. Staff could be nicer
Pros:

The hotel is situated right on the centre of town, on a straight path to Sultanahmet square. Great transport links on the tram stations. Accessible to all shops and popular places. It is clean, with average facilities. A good 3 stars but I'll deduct a star for staff rudeness and lack of professionalism. I was sitting at the reception area with my group of friends and the reception staff barged in , asking who amongst us allowed so much stain on the pillow case in our room, accusing us of cleaning our shoes with the pillow case in front of everyone. It was quite embarrassing! I may never return or recommend.

Perfect Location
Pros:

If you plan a visit to Istanbul , the Lalahan Hotel is the place to stay. The rooms and bathrooms are a good size , beds are comfortable , good linen and everything is cleaned and replaced daily. Breakfast is good, with the usual selection you expects in Turkiye. The location of the hotel is excellent as you can visit most of the attractions in Sultanahmet and Fatih on foot and also down walk to Eminonu to get a ferry. The staff are exceptional in the way they help guests with all their queries. I cannot recommend this hotel too highly.

Pros:

Awesome place to stay. I want to thank the Housekeeper especially on the fourth floor as she found my shirt after I checked out and was able to return to pick it up ( It was my favorite shirt). Third time staying here. The beds are so comfortable that its easy to sleep thru the mornings. Thanks again 4 a great stay.

A good experience
Pros:

Excellent hotel, actually simple but comfortable, in the very center of Istanbul. Rooms were clean, and regularly refurnished on a daily basis. Breakfast was good, more on the salty side. The hotel is surrounded by many shops and restaurants.

Pros:

The "junior suite" was quite roomy and very comfortable since our room was at the rear if the building, it was actually very quiet at night, despite what I had heard about Istanbul being super noisy. Staff at the Lalahan are very pleasant and helpful Decent choice if you want to be in a convenient location -- easy walk to some of the major attractions such as the Hagia Sophia. Only real drawback is that this walk (and the hotel) is on the road with the tram/streetcar, so you need to be REALLY careful to stay on the sidewalk...

The perfect hotel for Istanbul exploration
Pros:

With extremely friendly and professional staff, clean nice rooms and a perfect central location, this is a hotel I can recommend. In fact we stayed there twice during our Turkey trip. And the breakfast is great with a nice variety and very friendly management.

Many of Istanbul's main attractions are on walking distance which made it very convenient for us.

Highly recommended.

Comfortable and family friendly hotel
Pros:

Clean hotel with excellent location, 10 min walk to topkapi palace and Aya Sofia mosque, and the best part is that the entrance to the metro station was just backside on the corner

Excellent Hotel
Pros:

During the last seven years we stayed many times in the Lalahan Hotel and it never disappoints. The rooms and bathrooms are spacious and very clean, with comfortable beds. There is an electric kettle and mugs and every day you get free bottled water and tea, coffee and sugar. The staff is helpful and knowledgeable about the city. Breakfast is served in the Red River restaurant and is varied and everything is fresh and replenished all the time. It is also nice that the restaurant is part of the hotel and you can have great meals there till late at night and alcohol is also served. Can highly recommend the hotel.

Wonderful hotel at wonderful location
Pros:

I highly recommend the hotel. The location is very good. Clean numbers. Delicious breakfast. The most important thing is the service staff: friendly, smiling, competent in all matters. When I plan to go to Istanbul, I will definitely choose this hotel. I cannot fail to mention the administrator Yağmur Çine, who impressed me with his professionalism and attention.

Pros:

Location is good if you plan to visit Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque and the both Bazars, otherwise it’s too loud. In front of the hotel is the tram line, therefore it’s somehow loud even with the closed windows, the noise from the staircase might be also annoying, due to missing soundproof of the doors. The breakfast is really questionable and has nothing to do with the photos shown, once we’ve tried it, had to look for the breakfast in the cafés nearby.

Excellent unplanned stay
Pros:

We hadn’t planned to stay at Lalahan Hotel but, when we arrived at the hotel next door only to be told they had cancelled our booking without informing us and were full,(see my review for Orient Express Hotel) we were fortunate to be able to check in there. Unus on reception was very sympathetic to our plight and very helpful in trying to accomodate two very stressed travelers.

Our room on the second floor was clean, comfortable and, because we were at the back of the hotel and further away from the noise of the trams, reasonably quiet. The bed was very comfortable and everything worked except for the fridge which we discovered was not plugged in (soon rectified).

Breakfast was included and taken in the Red River cafe/bar next door. Not the most extensive breakfast menu I’ve seen but perfectly acceptable and tasty.

The reception staff at Lalahan were very helpful throughout our stay and nothing was too much trouble. If you’re looking for somewhere close to most of the ‘must see’ places in the old part of Istanbul you could do a lot worse than stay at this hotel.
