My stay at the Holiday Inn Istanbul Old City was quite enjoyable, thanks to the friendly and attentive staff and the hotel's excellent location near key attractions. While the breakfast was good, I found the variety could use a bit of an upgrade for longer stays. The room was cozy and clean but felt slightly outdated, which made me wish for a bit more modern comfort. Overall, I appreciated the positive experiences but believe there's room for improvement.

I had a wonderful stay at Holiday Inn Istanbul Old City. The staff were truly really good, especially Fatih and Kemal, who went out of their way to assist me. While my initial room faced a wall, the staff quickly moved me to a more suitable room. The breakfast was varied and tasty, though I found the morning call to prayer a bit loud at first. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I would gladly return.
