I stayed at Maya Hotel for 5 nights in total. I liked everything about Maya Hotel. The location was ideal for me; easy walking distance to all my favourite locations: Grand Bazar, Aksaray, Kumpkapi, Fatih Mosque, Sultanahmet; all are within easy walking distance. I even walke to Eminonu (via Grand Bazar). Having said this, both Metro and Tram stations are less than 5 minutes walk. Staff was great, absolutely wonderful in fact. Everyone I approached responded extremely nicely. Rooms are nice and clean. Housekeeping ladies were always there to help. As you might know, Turks love to smoke so some rooms may smell of smoke; it's better to ask Hotel beforehand. Breakfast was absolutely wonderful. I never had a better Breakfast in any 3 Star hotel before. Reception staff were extremely helpful. I give you an example; I am travelling in Turkey and had a spare large suitcase. I asked if it can be kept at the hotel for 10 days, they happily accepted. This was a massive favour to me as otherwise I had to carry it unnecessary wherever I was travelling. A BIG thank you to all staff. Finally, you can not go wrong with Maya Hotel with their prices at all. I did read some negative comments and all I can say is if you are after extreme luxury, there are 4 and 5 Star hotels around. I am staying again at Maya Hotel whenever I am travelling to Istanbul.

My first 2 night were in a room that was probably occupied by a very heavy smoking couple before me. However, when I complained, they moved me to a much fresher room straightaway, where I spent my last 3 days happily.

Very good value for money. You have everything you need to stay in the heart of Istanbul during your trip. Friendly personnel, clean functional bathrooms, air conditioning, daily cleaning, water in the fridge, breakfasts etc. Excellent location - most of the key city sites are within 20 min walk.

Wi-Fi coverage could be better. If your room is far from the router, the connection can get quite unstable/slow. One could nitpick that interior design could be more stylish and cleaner (e.g. hide cables etc.).

I made the “last minute” booking since due to some weather issues I had to spend one night in Istanbul waiting for my upcoming friends. My Mom and I stayed in Maya hotel in 2004, so I thought it might be cute to stay here in 20 years. Maya was good in 2004 but today in 2024 I can say it is excellent. Great location, not very crowed streets, no tourist buses and slow tourist groups. Hotel is clean, bed linen good, water pressure in shower good, no smell, complimentary water and juice, very good breakfast (no champagne and strawberries, but all what we used to have for breakfast: eggs, sausages, cheese, tomatoes, crunches etc). Greatest option for 1-2 nights in Istanbul. The stuff was very helpful.

All was good.

The guy's on The reception was very professional and Kind, I appreciate their support during our stay, and as well they kept our personal extra Bags without issues Thanks a lot

The Blonde old lady on the Restaurant was not respectful, she have a Weird behaviours with All of us, especially during Breakfast, She behaves like we are at her home with a disgusting gestures. Thanks anyway

Clean everyday without being told. Good value for money as the room not that small for 2 persona, breakfast considered nice and location is very strategic for us

No kettle provided in room.

Everything was perfect from location, food, room service, cleanliness and especially the staff that was beyond helpful and friendly. Surely we will recommend the place to others and stay at this hotel again. Thank you so much Maya Hotel for the great accommodations, till next time. From Baron's Family.

We really enjoyed our stay at your hotel. The size of the room was exactly what we needed for a short stay. Great surrounding, good restaurants, exchange office and cabs in proximity. However, the breakfast wasn't that great, it could have been better. Great value for money over all. I would definitely recommend this hotel! Thanks Maya hotel for making our stay enjoyable:)

The breakfast was not that great, add more fruit or fresh fruit juices and not syrups. The bread wasn't fresh and not much options. Your coffees were too watery and didn't taste original. Get more baby sits, we literally had to wait for 15 minutes just for the baby sit to be freedsfg

Great central location with really helpful staff who would go out of their way to help. Aircon was a real bonus with the heat. Organised taxi back to airport and really efficient. We paid cash as no facility to pay with credit card which was no problem for us

Breakfast was somewhat limited although staff again really nice and helpful

Very good for 3 stars hotel.We Liked all except small points mentioned below.Perfect location(very close metro station and tram Nr1 ,not so far on foot to Kapali Charshi) ,very kind staff,clean room.Would stay next time again!Thanks,Hotel Maya and its staff!

No kettle in the room.The light is not above the table.Pastries tasted not so good.

Good variety of food for breakfast, staff is helpful, the location is excellent, near shops and markets every thing within walking distance or short ride by public transport, room is clean and rightly equipped and cosy, very good value for money.
