poor wifi connection in the room and few power plugs near the desk

I keep staying here since years because of the hotel's very convenient location to metro, the Istanbul banking district and even to the airport, who is just a 30 minutes ride by taxi away. This time I particularly liked how the hotel management had used the time to work on past shortcomings. The lobby is now shining bright and makes an inviting impression. Some furniture was replaced by modern pieces and the bar is working in evening hours....and most important: the friendly and helpful staff is still around. I liked it a lot and I will certainly return to Bilek, whenever my path will take me to Istanbul again.

Central very good Location, walking distance from metro station, staff very helpful and responsive use the pool and the Turkish path it’s really good and relaxing .. free of charge.. Sahra thank you very much you are one of the best performing reception staff, you are a five star ⭐️ I will for sure be back again in my next stay ,,

I think the hotel can do better for breakfast variety

I am a frequent travel to Istanbul, usually I stay in Fatih or Taqsim Area, I have tried Bilek in 4 Levent for the first time, I think it was an excellent option comparing to Fatih or Taqsim, the rooms are much larger, the area is quiet calm at night, even you feel the atmosphere is less polluted, its near metro station line M2 where you can reach reach the city center in 30min, near to Maslek area, there is two big mull within one stop of metro ( Levent station).

unfortunately there was a construction running inside the hotel, due to some regulation from Tourism department as it has mention by the reception. the breakfest in Ramadan ( sohour) was with limited option but sufficient enough

The staff is very friendly and helpful. One day, the housekeeping forgot to put bath towels in the room and also leave 2 carton cups for coffee, but I found a room attendant in the morning and she gave me 2 bath towels. Unfortunately also the taxi is a problem in Istanbul. The taxi to the airport on Monday omitted to put on the meter! It's little things which could be improved. The Staff at the reservation desk are helpful.

Room: check for cups and towels. Wifi.

Nice place, flexible to meet the guests requirements. If the Jim starts to work early, 05:30 or they manage to have kind of controlled access, I think they will get more guests. In the area around there are many good places for lunch, diner and shopping as well.

This is th third time I book at Bilek. There aren't many hotel choices in that area. You got the Sheraton and the Hilton at much higher prices than Bilek and that's about it. Bilek is a no-frill affordable option that's plenty sufficient when you spend the day working and only come back at night for sleep. Staff is professional and eager to please. Also the area is full of restaurants so you don't to look for long to get dinner. Bilek also has its own restaurant of course.

The hotel is ageing. Some rooms called "superior rooms" have been renovated but standard rooms need refreshing. However, all are very clean. My main complaint would be the gym. The selection of free weights and mechanical machines is acceptable but systems depending on power outlets such as stationary bikes and the treadmill do not work.

They need to renew gym.

Nice equiped hotel. Very friedly staff. They helped us with arranging non-standard travel by taxi. Location of the hotel is close to metro station.

There was sometimes light smell from cigarettes - maybe through ventilation from other rooms.

good breakfast, good location, very helpful stuff in the walking distance you will find Ozdilek Mall and location is on the midlle of Cevahir and Istinio Mall also if you are for short trip with family good to use pool

rooms are clean but flooring and some furniture looks old. AC’s need to adjusted and cleened well in my opinion
