There was nothing that I did not like. From location to staff, everything was perfect. Staff went out of its way to be helpful. I'm sure they had my review on their minds but they seemed genuinely caring. Only , temporary, issue is the rooftop which is being renovated, and is not available for breakfast. I was however able to get a view of the mosque and bosphorous from the top.

We stayed in Olimpic hotel between May 14-17 2026 and were overall satisfied with our stay. The facilities are a bit run-down, especially the bathroom and we only had one little trash bin in bathroom and no in the room, that is a bit inconvenient. Nevertheless, all minor inconveniences are compensated for by the amazing view over the Sea of Marmara, and the location is absolutely great — right in the centre. Sultanahmet Square is only a five-minute walk away and tram station is close to hotel as well.

A small hotel with a great and safe location. The sheets and towels were clean, and there was coffee, tea, a heater, toiletries, and a hairdryer. It met all our expectations for our 3-day trip to Istanbul, and we recommend it to everyone.

The hotel is in a very convenient location. It’s only a 5-minute walk to Çemberlitaş Station, and most of the famous sightseeing spots are within walking distance. It was the perfect base for exploring the city. The facilities are a bit dated, but it wasn't an issue for me. More importantly, every staff member was so kind and helpful. I can't thank them enough, especially Mr. Dogan and Mr. Ezel, who went above and beyond! The breakfast room offers a fantastic view of the city, which was a great way to start the day.

Budget-friendly basic stay

Reception staff were lovely and ever so helpful. However the hotel itself is a bit run down - there were some holes in the walls, the towels and bedding weren't completely clean, no mirror in the bedroom and the breakfast was bland. Lovely views from the rooftop cafe though, and great location for transport and sightseeing.

The hospitality was amazing. ALL staff we encountered were amazing people who were very welcoming, polite and helpful. You receive unlimited tea, water and coffee down at the lobby after being there for almost a week they already knew my preference and would just bring it out. 10/10 recommend. I saw a comment saying it gives a 5 star hotel feel and I agree. The is a smaller hotel but such a great option also very close to the grand bazar and the tram to get around the city.

Great option for an Istanbul visit!

The staff was great, very accommodating. The breakfast area was great, top floor of the hotel. There was an elevator, so that wasn’t a problem. The breakfast was plentiful for a European buffet. Loved the bread and the juices. Had boiled eggs, but more lunch meat and veggies than I would say was breakfast. The room was clean and bed comfortable. The ac was great- once we figure the slide on the front covered lots of features. But highlight- it was very close to everything on the old town - Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, even Topkapi Palace, the grand bazaar and spice bazaar area. A great place to visit from if you are wanting to walk and be right in the midst of things.

Don’t stay here. The rooms need a deep clean to say the least. There was weird black hairs on our sheets when we first arrived, open used shampoo bottles in our bathroom and the halls had a weird odor. The staff was extremely loud in the mornings and would talk very loudly and play music around 8 am. Breakfast was poor and you couldn’t tell the difference between used and unused silverware and cups/glasses. The only good thing about this place is its central location otherwise it’s not worth the stay or money.
