The hotel staff were exceptionally supportive, the breakfast was rich and delicious, and the location was extremely convenient—just a couple of minutes’ walk from tram, bus, and metrobus stations, providing easy access to anywhere in the city.

The only drawback during my stay was the Wi-Fi. The connection was often weak and unstable, which made it challenging to work remotely or maintain consistent communication. A more reliable internet service would greatly enhance the overall guest experience.

I had a fantastic stay at Grand Makel Hotel in Istanbul. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. The location is great — close to public transportation and easy to get around. A special shoutout to Mr. Ömür from the restaurant staff. He was always kind, attentive, and made sure I had everything I needed during breakfast. His warm attitude truly made a difference in my stay. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of options, and I especially enjoyed the Turkish tea and desserts.

We had an amazing stay! The hotel is very clean, comfortable, and cozy. The location is also perfect for exploring the city. However, what we appreciated the most was the warm welcome and professional service from Mahmud and Sibel at the reception. They helped us with everything, patiently answered all our questions, and made our stay even more enjoyable. We felt at home throughout our time there. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely choose it again for my next visit.

Really nice hotel with clean comfortable rooms. Breakfast was quite good and a really nice view of Istanbul from the dining room. The hotel is located in a commercial area with lots of nearby restaurants, fast food places, grocery supermarket that make it really convenient. Restaurants in the area are much more reasonably priced compared to those downtown catering to tourists. The tram and bus station are a short 10 minute walk away. It is about 20-30 minutes to get to Sultanahmet.

Bathroom has a strange odor that could not be fixed during our stay. We had a second room that had no issues.
