The hotel is in a superb location within walking distance of most of the main sights (Blue Mosque, Topkapi Castle, Bazaars etc). The staff are really helpful and nice and the sauna pool area is very nice for a small one (even if not top class)

The breakfast is good but could be slightly better (e.g. eggs to order). Otherwise it is probably as expected for a 4 star hotel (comfortable and clean) but rooms could potentially do with an upgrade and it is a bit loud with traffic. The sauna area is nice for a small one and good for relax but the jacuzzi sometimes doesnt work and isnt very hot. The rooftop restaurant has great views but is very pricey (should maybe be more subsidised for hotel guests). The immediate area, while well served, could do with a few better bars and restaurants.

The location of the property is fantastic. It's perfect to explore Istanbul: Subway station Marmaray is 5 min walk, all the Ports to take Bosphorus Line or Cruise or just a water ferry to the Asian side also just a short walk about 10 minutes. Blue Mask is about 15 minutes walk. Spice Bazar and Galata Bridge is about 15 minutes walk. Trolley station is super close. Turkish Delight and many other traditional treats places are just across from the hotel. So many restaurants, pharmacy, stores located just outside of the hotel. What set this hotel apart besides the excellent location is the staff. Reception people are absolutely fantastic, very friendly and happy to answer any questions or to help in anyway they can. They offer breakfast buffet in the morning where you can find the variety of food to enjoy. Staff at the buffet was auper attentive and friendly. Also there is free tasty coffee and tea offered all day long in the lobby. We tried Spa services and did a massage, which was great. Staff speaks English and Turkish and one of the Reception gentleman and massage lady also speaks Russian. We enjoyed our stay very much, they made us feel at home. Our room was very nice and quiet. We had no view from the room but it was ok for us because we spent all day exploring and only came back to sleep. Beds were comfortable and room was nice and quiet which was great to come back to after busy city life. TV in the room has a lots of channels in different languages.

Shower was difficult to switch between top and bottom heards but front desk were kind to fix it quickly. They knew about the issue already and came to help right away.

Location, breakfast, supplies in room, daily service

Sometimes t gets a bit noisy from the busy area it’s located at

We are frequent visitors to Istanbul and decided to try Neorion based on the fact that we wanted to stay in Sultanahmet area this time round and also on the reviews. I have no hesitation in saying that all the excellent reviews were spot on. The facility itself is located wonderfully with many restaurants and pubs within 50 to 100 meters. It is also located within walking distance to the major attractions. It is right behind the tram station and within 100 meters of the underground metro station. The spa is exceptional. Use of hot water therapy tub, sauna, and swimming pool is free. It has an amazing roof top restaurant with excellent views of the Bosphorus and amazing food. The breakfast spread in the restaurant in the lobby area is outstanding. We booked an accommodation with two bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. It was fully equipped with a small but nice balcony. But the best part of the hotel, as testified by other reviewers, is the fantastic staff who went out of their way to assist and guide us with anything we asked for. They also gave us a travel card which we just had to top up at tram or metro stations. We highly recommend this hotel. It will definitely be our regular stop everytime we transit through Istanbul (we always plan for a layover of a couple of days at least in this magnificent city). Can't ask for anything better, frankly. Full value for money, and more!

We start with confirming the words from the welcoming leaflet at Neorion Hotel: as ”misafir” we felt like at mom and dad home , treated with love, respect and dedication. The services are excellent, the whole team is great - we don't want to mention just one name because all the people we met were incredible, always ready to please us instantly. During our stay we had a special event - birthday - and unexpectedly, the hotel team marked this event: birthday cake and song, but also a gift. Very kind and delicate attention! Location of the hotel is in the very center of ancient Istanbul. The room and the bathroom are decent in terms of surface, the shower cabin is large. The decorations are in Ottoman style. Everything is very clean. Towels are changed daily. The sewage system is excellent: a hotel that does not have "perfumes" from the sanitary group. Breakfast varies every day, with many tasty dishes. The SPA center is wonderful after a day in the city: the swimming pool, the hydromassage tub, the hamam and last, but not least, massage services. The restaurant is located on the top floor (more details posted in its review). In conclusion: a real 4-star hotel. Teşekkür ederim Neorion Hotel! Delia and Mircea

The staff were savvy with English, emotionally intelligent, ethical, and very focused on the quality of their guest’s (Misafir) experience. From the time you arrive, they are offering you Fresh Turkish coffee or refreshing drink and authentic Turkish delight to hailing your cab and negotiating your comfortable (service and $ to your next stop), when you leave. The location was excellent for walking to the grand sites and a short cab distance to the cruise terminal. Not awkward for cabs from (IST) either. Great hospitality, convenient location, quiet room with excellent beds, lovely breakfast - so delighted with our choice of Neorion Hotel Istanbul. Will never stay anywhere else.

Nil dislikes.

Well first they upgraded our room! We had a lovely suite but even if they hadn’t done that their other rooms were large for Europe and very clean. The spa was great and the massage/hammam fantastic. Breakfast every morning was a great buffet and when we had to leave before breakfast they had one packed up for us. The staff were extremely helpful and polite. I can’t think of any negatives

Maybe the rooftop restaurant was not the best but even it was lovely. The food was only ok but the setting was lovely

Location - 15 min walking to the Sultanahmet square for main sites & 2 min walk to metro station. Staff friendly and helpful. We were upgraded to a room on a higher floor for views and less noise. Hotel was clean & modern for Istanbul standards/ price point.

The curtains didn’t draw across so we had some light come through from external lighting. It didn’t bother us but might bother others. The breakfast was fine for us given the hotel price point. It was fresh fruit, continental, American & Turkish selection with eggs to order. However, if you’re looking for the more extravagant traditional Turkish breakfast I recommend you going externally to a cafe.

I loved this hotel! Istanbul is crowded and chaotic so it’s important to have somewhere relaxing to come back to. The staff were great, approachable and friendly and recommended transport, tours and local places to eat. The breakfast buffet was superb, one of the best I’ve found. There is a small hamam in the hotel which unfortunately I never got around to experiencing. There is a bustling rooftop restaurant with views to have a drink.There is a touristy eat street over the road where you can get a decent inexpensive meal if you know where to go. Location is walking distance from Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sofia, markets, etc.

It’s inner city so a bit of street noise, but it was fine.

We have absolutely loved our stay in Istanbul (gorgeous city so rich in culture) and felt at home at Neorion hotel! The best is the location of the hotel - you can reach all of the main attractions by foot in short distance, some others easily by tram, the neighbourhood felt safe and we didn't have a slightest issue. The hotel itself is very cozy, the rooms have spacious layout and styled decor. Small touches such as daily refill of bottled water, sweets, etc. made us feel happy. The staff is fantastic! Friendly, welcoming, helpful, professional. Our rooms were perfectly made up every day. Breakfast had a variety of warm dishes and nice pastry, excellent coffee, again all of the staff was outstanding! At the top of the hotel there is a great restaurant (doesn't belong to the hotel but super convenient) and a terasse with an amazing view. Our rooms were located at the 5th floor and were quiet. There is also a spa where you could book a massage or a hammam treatment. Overall, very happy with our stay and we would recommend the hotel to anyone staying in Istanbul!
