Hotel Bazaar - Istanbul

Clean room, but I had to climb stairs with heavy luggage.

We spent 2 nights in single room with the bathroom. The breakfast had lots of fine options, and was great.

The hotel was located within walking distance of the main tourist attractions in the Sultanahmet area. The shower in the bathroom was always hot. The room was clean. One of the manager's of the hotel had a puppy called 'JoJo' which our boys (aged 5 yrs and 7 yrs) loved.

We booked a triple room plus an extra bed for 4 nights. However, when we arrived we were directed to a room with 3 single beds with no capacity for an extra bed. We asked the manager to give us another room to accommodate 4 people (which is what we booked and paid for). The room we were sent to had a very musty smell. He sprayed some air freshener in the room to freshen it up, but to no avail. We had to keep the window open during the daytime to try to alleviate the musty smell. The room was very noisy: the walls were paper thin such that we could hear our neighbour's every move and comment. The hotel was located near a mosque, so we were awakened at 5am every morning. Located next to my bed, was a concealed water pipe in the post/pillar, so that every time the guests in the room above us used the bathroom, we could hear water flushing through the pipe next to the bed. We asked to be given another room - quieter and less smelly - but to no avail. If you arrived at breakfast at 9am, there was little on offer as the food was not replenished. Every morning the urn had run out of hot water and there was no milk. When I was at the reception desk, another guest complained to the manager that he did not like the hotel, and wanted his money back because he wanted to look for alternative accommodation. The manager told him in no uncertain terms that he got a good price for the room and if he didn't like it, he'd just have to forfeit his money.

Hotel Bazaar offers a fantastic location just steps from the tram and key attractions like the Blue Mosque. The staff, especially Abrahim, were responsive and pleasant. Breakfast with a sea view was a highlight! 😊

The location to major tourist attractions very good. Hotel room rates fair. Staff made an effort to be helpful.

The communication in English with staff was a struggle most of the time. The impression of the room on Internet and hotel very different to actual reality. The housekeeping and cleanliness in room and breakfast area very poor.

A basic hotel but works well as it is only a short way from the main Bazaar, Blue Mosque etc and just round the corner from a lot of the fashion shops.

Food was poor for price

Convenient Location with Nice Views!

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The rooftop dining experience was amazing, offering amazing views over breakfast. The staff were friendly and accommodating, ensuring all my needs were met. Be prepared for stairs if you arrive late at night, but it's worth it for the charm this place offers!

The view of courtyard from my extremely spacious room was particularly nice. It had a big bed, ironing facilities, a study table, and an iPod dock. All of the staff was very helpful and attentive to guests. The service was very good, the food was good: )

I like WiFi

Didnt like: room was dirty, toilet was very very dirty, dinner service dirty...

The hotel's rooftop restaurant offers fine breakfast views that enhance the dining experience.

Unfortunately, there was no assistance with luggage, cumbersome, especially given the hotel's layout and staircase access.

Very nice

Had to carry bags up and down a long flight of stairs.

The room was quite good, but the window didn' close correctly, so it was very noisy and could be better. Breakfast was good.

The room was not located as showed in the website map at the time of booking. It was ten minutes tramway from where it was supposed to be. I had to leave the hotel. Very difficult to pay with credit card. The staff at the reception told me the card was rejected and asked me to pay cash, but when I checked the card´s ticket I realised the payment was accepted.

The Standard Single Room features a clean environment and decent hygiene.

No electric kettle in the room made it inconvenient for late-night tea or coffee. Having to carry luggage via a staircase at night is a hassle, especially after a long day. Breakfast options come across as very average, lacking variety or excitement.

The room was comfortable and clean. Located in a lively district, close to tram stations so it was easy to get around. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good. Great value for money.

I had to navigate a staircase with my luggage late at night, which wasn't ideal after a long day. The rooms are small, and the Wi-Fi connection was often interrupted. The breakfast spread was fairly average, lacking excitement or variety.
