    Room was very small. There should be some airport taxi service with a reasonable charge.

    Breakfast was really good. Room space was not enough to pray. Room TV was not working. Location is really good in terms of accessibility to the attractions. Everything including tram station is very close.

    Unfortunately there was very little pickings at the buffet breakfast, and often we had to wait for dishes to be cooked and brought out, which is rather annoying when you are running on a tight schedule.

    Great location and the staff were great!

    There was honestly nothing about this hotel that I did not like.

    The hotel is located in a very central and accessible location. As a woman traveling alone I never felt unsafe in the area around the hotel either. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The room is not fancy, but I knew this from the start when I booked, but it had everything I needed and I was happy to stay there for 8 nights. The room was also cleaned every single day. Breakfast was good as well and there were a lot of options to choose from. As someone who is not familiar with a Turkish breakfast, it was quite nice to try all the variety of foods. Shoutout to the one guy working at reception (can't remember his name as I am terrible with names, but he spoke English quite well and also helped me when I checked in). He was always friendly and we always had good conversations when I entered the hotel late at night and he was working at the front desk. Traveling alone it was nice to be able to tell someone about some of my experiences. Lastly, the hotel organized a transfer for me from and to the airport and this also went smoothly. Would definitely recommend Grand Bazaar Hotel to anyone who is looking for a clean hotel in a safe and central location and has friendly staff who is willing to go the extra mile.

    The area was very industrial- and difficult to reach by car/taxi. The streets were not so walkable because of the surrounding shops that used sidewalks as their extension. Merchandise and trash made it hard to navigate the streets. The hotel was nearby the grand bazaar and aya sofia so, that was a plus.

    The staff were very friendly and helpful.

    Stay was alright! Room was quiet smaller than what I had imagined and had seen in the pictures. Staff was welcoming and spoke english which made communication much easier. However loud noises late a T night from other guest checking in or returning to hotel for two of the nights were really irritating to a point where I had to wake up and complain. The location is great! Tram station just a small walk away as well as grand bazar!

    Breakfast…. was the same everyday not much variety

    The hotel was lovely, clean and similar to the photos. Our room was light, airy and spacious, we had a family of 5 all in one room and it did not feel overcrowded. The bathroom was clean and well maintained. The hotel was close to tourist attractions (10 mins walk away) and the bazaar (5 mins walk away). There were restaurants, supermarkets and tram line (3 mins walk away). The staff were very friendly and helpful. My son hurt himself and needed stitches (no one’s fault). The staff called an ambulance, dealt with the situation in a calm manner and supported us too. Breakfast was the same everyday, there was not too much variety. It was always fresh though. There was a terrace on the roof that you could sit on and enjoy the view. It was beautiful. I would recommend this hotel and definitely stay there again. Thank you to all of the staff! We had an amazing time
