the hotel itself was beautiful, breakfast was decent. however, the area was tricky getting into the tourist spots and to eat out at night you needed to head back to the center should have stayed in the center. staff barley spoke english and very useless with where to eat. More

The hotel is perfectly located, close to the Metro and Istiklal Cad. The room was cozy, with sat tv, all bathing supplies, a mini bar. I really liked two or three things: -They charged my card an extra night. Before I checked my card statement they contacted me and apologized, returning the money. -I forgot my iphone charger, when I... More

The hotel recently went non-smoking but this room still smelled like an ashtray. Drab, little room to walk past the bed on the way to the... More

We were a group of six who booked the Madison Hotel through a package. We paid extra in the package for a "four star hotel". Be aware that there are two floors of rooms that would pass as four star rooms, and then several floors of rooms above those that would barely pass as a two star room. This hotel... More

Put off a bit by negative reviews which proved entirely unfounded. Perhaps the hotel has been fully refurbished since they were written. Rooms are a bit small and furnished less than luxuriously, but it was all clean, the service was good, the location was great, the spa was fine - though only open from 2 till 10pm - breakfast more...
