When we checked in it was done by a not so helpful receptionist. We had already got an e-mail from Holiday Inn that an extra bed for our 5 year old was free of charge. The receptionist said that we had to pay but it was ok for this time. I didn't want a favour so I showed him the mail. And then he tells us that we haven't paid for breakfast. He didn't bother verifying it for us and told us we had to do it ourselves. We showed him the reservation, all the info was there and it said breakfast for 2. He couldn't accept it- it wasn't in English. We had to call to the agency we booked it trough so they would send the mail in English. No apologies was made. We had to use a lot of money to call from a foreign SIM card. We went up to the room. It was a non smoking room but the room smelled a lot of smoke. The rooms are very worn out and in immediate need of refurbishment. The receptionists are not polite, every time we have tried to call to ask something the guy is inpolite. The breakfast is a tragedy! The cheese plates are on a hot place and tastes horrible, the warm dishes has a lid but is ALWAYS uncovered so the food is cold! The place looks dirty. Too many people touching the food and other things with their fingers/hands. You don't want to eat anything. The coffee seems to be Nescafé or some other cheap instant coffee. Good luck with finding someone to take your tea/coffee or omelette order at the breakfast. They are more busy with cleaning other tables than smiling to you or saying good morning. Apart from 2 young guys and Canaan, the trainee, nobody cares about you and they are not even discrete about it - very unprofessional! One of the women who serve at the breakfast ( I think she is the main waiter- with mustard colour hair) is so miserable and I have never seen this kind of behaviour at a restaurant before. Eye rolling and not so kind talking about the "dirty" guests as she refers to them. This morning she was extra angry and kicked a chair and scared my 5 year old daughter. "I am so tired to clean after them etc etc" is what she says. Very bad way to start our morning! No omelet- and if they have it we don't know. We haven't seen it and no one has told us. We called the reception to ask and he said that he didn't know. Fascinating! No service. We are use to always put tip for waitresses the breakfast- but don't want to do it here! We have decided NOT to eat breakfast here anymore as it is such a unpleasant experience. Some friends of ours are leaving the hotel today to move into an another hotel at the same street. But we have prepaid and can't have the money refunded, so we have to stay some more nights before we move too! We have been on vacation for 3 weeks and we have been at 5 star hotels, but this is definitely NOT a 5 or 4 star. It is more like a 3 star. Will not return to this hotel again. There is a lot of nice hotels nearby.
The hotel is suited in a very good location, and there is a good Wi-Fi Connection. perhaps these are the only good things about the hotel. I had many problems during my stay with my family in this hotel. We arrived the hotel at 3:30 pm, we checked in at 5:00 pm. This was because only one receptionist in duty, and there was large group check-in. The hotel shall provide more receptionist. My room was non-Smoking, but the smell of cigarettes were everywhere. When I asked the receptionist, he misunderstand me and thought that I am asking him if I can smoke, and replied” just open the window and smoke”, so if you are sensitive to cigarettes smoke, look for another hotel. Finally, the hotel charged me $100 , because my son spilled a tea drink over the duvet, causing a stain, which can be easily cleaned. So, in case you choose this hotel, make sure to clean everything!!!!, they will charge you if something got dirty.
Relaxing , quiet, and excellent room service ... I just loved it! The conference rooms were perfect and neat, the staff was very friendly with a smile and the hospitality was flawless. I highly recommend it. It is also close to everything you need.
i was there for a week, the room was so clean, staff are so kind and helpful, almost every one can speak english, the amentities are good, the location is so so, because you are not in the crowd of the city, but you can easily go to taksim or anywhere else you want with metro, there is a metro station about 5 minutes of walking and its 2 station far from taksim square,if i wanna go to istanbul again, i would go there again and i suggest it if any one ask me, it was realy a good trip and good memory, meanwhile i wanna thanks the barman that is very very good behavioring that was very very very good. But there is just 1 thing that bother me, the time that i was there, too many arabian people was there and all off them had too many children, when in the morning you wake up, you feel you are in the middle of the kindergarten, so crowd, all of them run into the loby, it wasnt feel so good, but at all i realy enjoy the trip and i like holiday inn sisli hotel
We satayed at this hotel for weekend with my kids. They enjoyed the swiming pool. Breakfast was good. Room was confortable and big size. I definately recomend this hotel. I will come back again when my kids want to swim.
To be honest, when i first arrived, or when the taxi driver stopped by the entrance of the hotel it just didn't make sense, seeing the hotel is on the main street and i don't know i just didn't feel happy, BUT walking in the hotel changed all of those thoughts. The staff were welcoming, they handled us (me and my friends) right away, in no time we have checked in and went up to our rooms. The rooms were amazing, i didn't see it coming ! they were neat and big, and that bathroom though, walk in shower and a hot tub !! it was amazing for relaxation. I had an only breakfast service, and the food was good, it was right to the point, comfortable dining area with the staff going on and about checking and making sure all are happy. The SPA was awesome, one of my worries when i travel is if I can find a place to workout, and the gym down at the SPA was fine, it had most of the equipment i needed and I was satisfied, I didn't have enough time to go to the swimming pool but it looked amazing from the gym, and I also heard they had a turkish bath, but my visit was to take part in the karate seminar so I was busy with that most of my time. The location on this hotel is amazing, it is in the center, you have lots of shops around you, whatever you want just name it and you will find it: restaurants, clothing shops, currency change, phone shops... and a big mall about 800 meters walk from the hotel ! plus most of the places you will want to visit are within a 10-20 minutes taxi ride away. the only bad thing that I didn't like at the hotel was that it was on the main street which again has its benefits but when you are in a city of 20 millions the streets are always gonna be full, at night you will always hear cars honking and people waling in the street which made it a bit hard, even when i had my windows closed I still hear the sirens of police of ambulance and my world i heard lots of those !! to conclude, it was a wonderful experience, i do recommend visiting due to the location and the comfortable rooms, if you are very irritated by the noise level you get from the main street then i suggest you look elsewhere

I came here in New years for a Tango festival, the workshops were in the same hotel. The room was lovely, very modern and new. The staff were so helpful in every way they could, i felt home :) breakfast was very good with a lot of variety . Location was great in walking distance of many good shops and cevahir mall. Will definitely stay here
I stayed at the HI Istanbul Sisly for two weeks for business and honestly i loved every minute of it. The period I travelled was tense yet I felt very safe in the hotel and around it. On my first might I lost my CC somewhere near the ATM and a representative from the hotel escorted me to the ATM and helped me looking for it. It was very kind of them. The room was quite spacious, excellent wifi. The hotel is located in a very central area where you can find a lot of really nice Turkish restaurants, However I personally found the food in the hotel better than what i found outside of it. Breakfast was SO GOOD I couldn't have enough of it! So healthy and tasty mmmm worth going back there even just to try it out again! The gym at the hotel is quite spacious as well but I was totally amused me is the cake commericial that kept popping up while i was using the treadmill - very ironic and maybe even a bit out of tact? :) Either way I loved everything about this hotel and will go back next time in the area.
My fiancé and I decided to explore Sisli this time around and chose to stay at the Holiday Inn. We would like to thank Olcay and his concierge team for making this trip memorable. Reception did an excellent job and went the extra mile to make our stay comfortable. They are professionals in the field of hospitality. Unfortunately, F&B room service needs to work on setting expectations and apologizing when they are unable to deliver on time. Waited over an hour for our coffee refill and just decided to go out rather than wait.
