The main advantage of this hotel is its proximity to the metro station (Shishane-50 meters) and the bus station (10 meters) which gives you access to everywhere. The rooms are clean, nice, comfortable and the room service is really good. Marmara sea is just few steps; as the hotel is on the main road. It is quiet area though. Behind... More

Stayed for 3 nights at Grand Halic. Though the lobby is so grand with marbles and chandeliers, the rooms are so cramped and very low Wifi signal i in any of the rooms. The only plus point was it was just a 5 min walk from Istiklal Cadessi... But next time I would choose some where else to stay

I had a 3 night stay at this place. The front desk itself had very snobbish staff. They gave me a room at 7th floor , it had no view and worse the airconditioning wasnt working properly. When i complained they sent a technician , who claimed to have corrected it. After An hour or so i realised i was... More

We stayed here for a total of 3 nights as part of a 10 day trip to Turkey. The best part of the hotel was really the location which was a 5 minute walk(albeit a steep one) to the major pedestrian walking and shopping street of Taksim.

Hotel on a main road. On an Archers holiday 1 night at beginning of holiday and 2 on the way back.

I have been there 3 times! Best Location, near Istiklal Street, near SiShane underground metro station , bus stop is opposite the hotel. We like the fresh and good breakfast .The rooms are very clean and comfortable but small. The internet connection is good. The Staff at reception were really helpful specially Erdal !

I share the.views of other travellers. Apathetic describes them well. We had the same experience, air contioning on heating mode and they don't switch it till May so you have to lump it. They provide kettles and cups in the rooms but if you want to brew yourself a cup of tea you need to buy the tea bags at... More
