Ramada by Wyndham Istanbul Old City

- very comfortable bed - location is great, right across the tram station - very quiet, we had the room on the back side the hotel (not oriented to the street, otherwise may be noisy) - the area is safe and not exposed to threats like other popular crowded places.

- there is no private parking, you should go to park at Anka's hotel underground parking, right at the corner of the street. You negotiate with the guy there the price. I recommend not taking the car out, because you have public transport.

Location (5/5): The hotel's location is very convenient, there are many restaurants, cafeterias, and supermarkets nearby, making it easy to find a variety of dining options. The Findikzade T1 tram station is just opposite the hotel, which makes exploring the city quite convenient. Ambience (4/5): The overall ambiance of the hotel was pleasant, with clean and well-decorated spaces contributing to a comfortable atmosphere. The lobby and common areas were inviting and well-maintained. Room (4/5): The rooms were clean and spacious. Daily room cleaning service ensured a comfortable and tidy stay. A nice touch was the free mini bar, replenished daily with water bottles and cold drinks. The bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was sizable and well-kept, complete with essential toiletries. Service (5/5): The reception staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly, always readily available to assist with inquiries and requests. I particularly appreciated their accommodating response to my late check-in due to a flight delay. The rooms were also cleaned daily, maintaining a high standard of cleanliness. Breakfast / Food (3/5): The breakfast buffet offered a good selection, though I was hoping for a more authentic Turkish breakfast experience.

One of the drawbacks was the size of the gym, which I found to be quite small. Although the breakfast spread was acceptable, the consistent lack of variety in the menu was disappointing. It would greatly enhance the overall experience if the hotel could introduce greater diversity to the breakfast options.

- The location is exceptional: it is literally in front of the tram and in an area full of restaurants, cafeterias and supermarkets. - The staff is next level, really helpful and friendly, and always making you feel so welcomed. We stayed only 2 days and the gentleman that checked us in was specially welcoming and warm with us, he even offered us the breakfast for free so that we would give it a try in case we’d be interested to get it next time we go back. (Thank you Mr. Semih) - The room was clean, tidy and very comfortable.

The bathroom was clean, in general, but in one of the corner of the wall of the shower there was some mold, which shocked me because in my previous stays the bathroom had always been immaculate. It was not a huge deal but I would recommend them to please pay a bit more attention to the cleanliness of the shower.

All the staff were wonderful and very friendly. the location is extremely good, Findikzade T1 station opposite the hotel entrance. Breakfast was very good, restaurant serving staff and kitchen staff were extremely friendly. This was my second stay within the last 6 months, and for sure when ever I am back in Istanbul I will stay ther.

This Is a comment I made when I stayed in Feb 2022. It is so important to change all the towels, since they are getting very old and for sure they exceeded their life expectancy.

The staff at the front desk and the cleaner were exceptional, extremely helpful and very considerate. The location was great, there was a metro stop directly outside so easy access to main sites. Really close to Fatih Mosque and could see the stunning view from our window. There is also a Friday market on the side road opposite the hotel which is brilliant for deals on shawls, knock off bags and general bits and bobs for practically nothing. Cute little handmade chocolate shop at the top of the market too called Perla! Lots of restaurants and take away places next door and around and the infamous dessert shop Mado is a short walk up the road from the hotel.

For some reason the AC would not work in our room so we had to go down and get the staff at the front desk to change it for us a few times. They were really helpful though.

The location of the hotel is fantastic - it's right in the center of Fatih with everything in close proximity. The hotel is located next to the tram station which provides good transport networks to all places in Istanbul, even if driving, using a taxi or public transport. There are multiple restaurants on the street which cater to different types of cuisines at a reasonable price. There are also shops nearby to wander and look around. The room was decent sized and was exactly as pictured - special mention to Safiye from the housekeeping team who made sure everything was impeccably cleaned each time. There were many amenities within the rooms that made it comfortable - we didn't feel wanting for any additional items. And travelling with a young family can be challenging, however, the staff/hotel ensured everything was up to requirements. The hotel's front of house team is also very responsive and helpful to every request. The breakfast was good as well, serving a decent platter each morning

While the hotel offers parking, it can be tricky as the space fills up very soon - there are many 'ottoparks' nearby and also street parking is available as well, if that is needed.

Great hospitality and value for money. The location is very strategic, it is close enough to the main tourist attractions (Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar) yet it's not situated in the old city which would be hard to reach by car. The rooms are modern and clean. The staffs were friendly and helpful throughout our stay, they definitely put their best effort to make all guests feel at home. Highly recommended!

Nothing

Location is Excellent. Right next to findikzade tram station with lots of restaurant and shops nearby. All staff is very professional and courteous, including Ms Fatima at the reception desk, chefs in the breakfast area, cleaning lady All of them were very welcoming and helpful. Rooms are comfy with all the required facilities.

Almost everything was good. especially the pick and drop services from and to airport was fabulous. the ride was very comfortable, private and on time.

The room was a little too small in size, as compared to what was shown in pictures. plus, the restroom was also not in a way that it should be according to general ethical standards. breakfast also did not have much variety, eggs on demand was also paid.

Good value for money in terms of overall quality of the room and location (there is a tram station literally in front of the lobby for the main T1 tram line that goes to most of the main tourist sites). My (corner) room has a nice corner window seat which makes both the room feel brighter and great place to just relax after a day out. Thank you as well for my housekeeper Ms Seher for keeping my room tip-top clean throughout my stay!

The sound proofing can be better, but based on my experience this is not specific to them, two other hotels I stayed in Istanbul before had the same issue.
