Ilkbal Hotel is right in the middle of wholesale bazar. Steps away from tram and all historical sites you want to see when visiting Istanbul. Staff are all very professional friendly and super fast in providing quality service. Sauna that i used was lovely. Breakfast even tho the same options every day, it has all needed to start the day right and i loved how courteous friendly and wonderful restaurant staff were. I really enjoyed my time in Ilkbal hotel and highly recommend this hotel.

Inte igen.

Själva rummet var helt ok, bodde i 506, med en liten fransk balkong... Lobbyn luktade rök och ett mediokert intryck. De höll på att renovera flera rum och korridorerna under vår vistelse. Frukosten var riktigt dålig och väldigt mkt folk som knuffades och trängdes.. Kaffet var gott dock och en väldigt trevlig frukostvärdinna. Spa avdelningen var ett skämt- de ville ha 200 dollar för en skrubb och tvätt!! Fick ner det till 150 lira( 13 dollar) I detta området finns knappt några resturanger, och enbart en som serverar alkohol...resten e shopping shopping shopping.... Bo inte i detta området...mkt skumma ensamma män på kvällarna som söker kontakt..

Уютный чистый номер, хороший завтра, отличный вид из окон ресторана на Мраморное море. Приветливый и деловой персонал на стойке регистрации. Есть бесплатная камера хранения. Лично для меня Матрас на кровати слишком мягкий, но это дело вкуса. Удачное расположение отеля.

When we arrived, the receptionist was rude and lacked customer skills. At time of checking in we were given a twin bed room even though we had a booking for a double, and he decided to keep our passports without explaining he required them to photocopy. The room was dirty, dust everywhere on floors and the bathroom was very small, when we complained we were told he cant do anything but join the twin beds to make it into a double. In the morning we spoke with another receptionist who changed our room to a more bigger and cleaner one. The rooms dont have kettle/tea/coffee/iron/ironing board which are basics. The breakfast menu is very limited buffet and the pictures on their website dont look anything in reality, the breakfast staff are terrible and making rapport with the guests I would definitely not recommend this hotel to anyone, you can spend your money better at another hotel as there are many near by.

Disliked: Staff & service
The hotel location was ideal for us. Just me and my wife so it was easy for us to walk to the tram stop at laleli and also to the yenkapi metro station. It was nice to be in the middle of all the hustle and bustle so we can see how the locals go about their day. The hotel itself wasn’t good. Housekeeping was just a change of bins, bedding wasn’t changed, towels only changed if we didn’t fold them, floor wasn’t swept. The woman doing the cleaning was nice though. Breakfast was ok. Had a nice view as it was on the eighth floor. It gets VERY busy after 9, so try to go about 8.30. Menu didn’t change the whole week we were there. The gym manager was very rude! Didn’t give us any inkling that were rules for going into the pool. I couldn’t use the gym without feeling like I was doing something wrong. He gave us a small tour about the services but didn’t tell us that we need caps for the pool, they don’t supply towels etc. Because we were out the majority of the day, we didn’t stay at the hotel that much, but due to the treatment of the gym manager, the short time we were at the hotel, was made uncomfortable.

Rubbish hotel in a good area. NOT 4 STAR!!!

The hotel lobby is ok The room we had was filthy. Booked in for three days. But checked out after first night. Arrived to find the room at the end of a dark corridor. The corridor light wasn't working the room was filthy. The toilet bin was full. There was nothing appealing about the room. Wife and kids hated it. The hotel photos are misleading. There are no bath tubs in the hotel, despite some photos. I AM AFRAID I CAN'T GIVE IT A PLUS FOR ANYTHING. My advice:AVOID IT.
