The Maywood is a very good hotel in an ideal location for a stay in Istanbul. All the room facilities were fine, the room was quiet, the breakast was varied and fresh. The staff deserve special mention - friendly and helpful. One of the great things about the hotel is the proximity (easy walk) to the main sights of the old city, and it is very close to tram stops and the Marmaray station for a very quick trip to Asia. All in all - highest recommendation.
