Same story as "Stinky room in dodgy area". We arrived at 11:30 pm and told that they had large group staying extra night etc etc....They sent us to an even worse hotel over the road called KANDA Hotel. the bloke at the reception was a complete idiot, our room was the terrible, the beds had yellow stains on the sheets...

I recomanded this hotel . very good standard, large rooms , breakfast room nice, traditional. 5 minutes to tram station.

This was a great find. Clean, modern, great beds, crisp linen and the softest pillows ever. Best shower I have had in a long time -- abroad and at home. Fantastic breakfast. Central -- easy to get to the tram stop and loads of restaurants around. A great place to stay while in Istanbul.

Me and my family visited Istanbul for eight days and the Grand Ant Hotel made this visit a thousand time better. this is becouse of the the staff and the location. It is most certainly the best hotel to live in if you are looking after a good price and a great location. It was close to the tram (the... More

Stayed here for 3 nights on a city break in March. The main factors in choosing the hotel were price and proximity to the tramline. The hotel is about 5 mins walk from the Aksaray station, which gives easy access to most of the tourist attractions, which was great. The hotel itself is in a fairly busy part of town... More
