We have just returned from 5 days in Istanbul staying at the Raymond Hotel. Very helpful and friendly staff. Absolutely spotless. Great location, within walking distance of many attractions.

The hotel is located in Sultanahmet areas just a 3 minutes walk from the tram station. The street is narrow, with soveniour shops, restaurants and without too much traffic. The room was nice and clean, although a bit small. The hotel staff was very friendly and trying to help. They did not have a thermometer and paracetamol in their first... More

We began a Turkey vacation with a stay at the Raymond. On a small side street near many good restaurants where you can sit outside and only moments from Topkapi Palace, Blue Mosque, and Hagia Sofia, this gem of a hotel is a real bargain. The staff gave a very friendly reception with a cup of tea, advice to attractions,... More

Yes,the bathroom was also small but the shower was good and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was typicial Turkish and consisted of a variety of cold meats, cheeses, olives,... More
