Clean room
Very hospitable staff
Would definitely recommend
Great location, helpful, friendly staff, great breakfast. Room was small but perfectly formed. Loved our wee balcony. Only slight downside was the very hot room in winter.

SERVICE RATINGS
Shower fan and shower door rubber was loose.Shower door was not closing easily from day 1.
Complained,told that technian will come the next day.
When I enquired again,I was told that it was done.
I reported that this was not done properly as door had to be forced closed and fan was still not working.
All the tech did was put back the rubber.
This remained as above until we departed and never resolved.
There are no hot breakfast meals served daily,so if you are expecting any fried eggs for breakfast,this will not happen.
I called Elver at Reception from Takseem and asked him to help me with which bus I should take to get back to the hotel.
He said I should request this from the people in Takseem to get back to the hotel.
I was stunned!!!
This was the final straw for me.
I was glad to leave and I will certainly not return to this hotel.
Clean & nice rooms. The staff are very friendly and they make the stay extremely pleasant. Not to mention great price and the hotel is in the center of literally everything you need!!

Week in Istanbul at Black Tulip
The hotel is clean and in the center of action being close to the harbour as well as the Blue mosque and Topicapi museum. Staff are very friendly. I was disappointed with the size of room where you can't even have you luggage properly stored without having to jump over furniture. Very loud noise at night with street cars passing every few minutes and balcony door does not close tight to eliminate noise. You can't have AC set to a temperature while out of hotel to come back to comfort as electricity is out as soon as you leave room. Bathroom is also very tight but clean. Elevator can only fit 2 people at a time. Although it was OK but for the price I paid I'd rather stay at a brand name hotel for the same price next time. Restaurants and shops around this hotel were pricey but if you go to Yousuf Pasha or Taksim you'd get better value for your money.
Airport Shuttle and arranged tour trips from hotel are way over priced in comparison to outside tour offices.
But like I said all staff are friendly and the place is clean.

The hotel location was perfect, right by the train and tram stations, lots of shops and the main attractions within walking distance (under 10 mins). The staff were friendly and helpful although we had a few issues with the rooms.. the air con leaked constantly despite us asking for it to be fixed several times..
Internet hard to connect and once connected it switched off every 5 minutes,
Clean hotel, good breakfast .
Hard to get picked up by taxis as it is a street mainly for trams. Had 2 Ubers cancel on me until I moved two streets away. Nearly missed my plane as it took 30 minutes to work out what the problem was with pick ups
Hotel was smaller than expected but in the perfect location to visit the historical parts of Istanbul. Breakfast was very good and room was clean. Staff were helpful and polite.
Ideally situated in the old city near the Topkapi Palace, the Basilica Cistern and the Hagia Sophia. The hotel is also close to places for eating and shopping
The location is the best in Istanbul, right next to the tram stop and a short walk from all the great attractions in that area. Staff were accommodating and the breakfast was fresh with many options.
Excellent Hotel for the price and great location. Hotel is walking distance from most major attraction such as Blue Mosque, Topkapi Place and Sofia Place. There is a Tram station within 2 mintutes walk which can be used to go Grand Bazaar or Galata Tower, The only thing which lets the hotel down is breakfast which is more or less same everyday.
Nice and neat hotel practically in the heart of the city. The rooms were a little smaller than the usual but very clean. The staff were friendly. Breakfast was quite good. Due to a tramway line being right in front of the hotel meant every two minutes you had up with the noise, but this was the only downside to this hotel. I would recommend this hotel for short stays and sightseeing.
I stayed three nights in a single room. The hotel is conveniently located in the old center of Istanbul near the main tourist sights, restaurants and public transport. The room was modern, clean and relatively quiet, but it was small and porrly layed out - you had to climb over the bed to get to the desk. The television was working but was not programmed to allow viewing of any channels. I asked the staff to correct the issue, but nothing was done.

Excellent service by hotel staff, We liked this hotel very much, close to places we wanted to visit. Very close to public transport, extra ordinary helpful hotel staff can make your stay pleasant.
Thanks Hotel Black Tulip.
