In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Location in the old city — Steps from the Grand Bazaar and Spice Bazaar, with the tram nearby and Beyazit Square 850 metres away.
- Breakfast and dining — Guests repeatedly praised the breakfast for its variety and quality, and the club lounge for snacks and drinks.

–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Price and service rating is modest — Guests felt the hotel is priced higher than boutique alternatives, and service, while friendly, sometimes lagged in value.
- Rooms and cleanliness could be more consistent — A few guests found rooms only 'fairly clean' or 'reasonable' in size, suggesting variability.
- Distance to some landmarks — The Blue Mosque is about 2 km away — a walk or short tram ride, not steps from the door.
- Check-in window is limited — Check-in runs from 14:00 to 23:59, so late arrivals after midnight may need to arrange ahead.

8.8Verified guest“The hotel's design really stands out — it feels upscale. Breakfast has a good variety, and the room service was friendly.”
8.8Verified guest“The staff were incredibly kind and accommodating, and I got a quiet double room overlooking the courtyard.”
8.8Verified guest“A very nice hotel with friendly staff and a great location.”
8.8Verified guest“The Crowne Plaza Old City is a 30-minute ride from the airport, yet close to attractions and modern shopping. It costs a bit more than boutique hotels, but you get what you pay for. Tip: when taking a taxi in Istanbul, carry a printout of your destination map and mention the district first — for this hotel, say 'Laleli, Crowne Plaza'.”
8.8Verified guest“We visited the Grand Bazaar and Spice Bazaar, both just minutes away. Staff were super friendly, breakfast was delicious, and the club lounge was great. The indoor pool was a nice bonus.”
8.8Verified guest“We stayed three nights and had a good overall experience. The room was reasonably spacious and clean, and the location was good — close to the city centre, restaurants, a mosque, and the tram. Breakfast was fantastic with a wide range of options.”
