Decent enough hotel
The major advantage of this hotel is the location, with the main attractions of Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace and Grand Bazaar all being within walking distance from the hotel. The Gülhane tram station is also just a minute walk from the hotel. Another plus is the staff who are kind and friendly. A special mention for the receptionist Mevlut who was extremely helpful and generous with his time in sharing tips for how to navigate the city and also explaining to me and my wife the various options available in terms of sightseeing. On the down side, the breakfast is very basic and bland and the TV in our room was not working. Overall though, the hotel was more than adequate and provided for our main needs bearing in mind the relatively reasonable price paid.

pleasant hotel in an excellent location
We booked a superior room and were given one on the first floor overlooking busy road, so we asked for a quieter one and were offered a dark hole of a room that had posters of Istanbul sights instead of proper windows. The manager in charge of reservations told us that you can only choose between two rooms, although the hotel was far from fully booked. After some negotiations he agreed to give us the room that was acceptable. I was in Istanbul several times and that kind of behavior in hotels is quite unusual. The hotel is recently renovated, it is quite clean, with wooden floor in the rooms. Breakfast is tasty but it consists mainly of vegetable dishes, pastries could be better and more varied. The hotel is in excellent location, and is quite good value for money. My advice is to book only superior rooms in this hotel and avoid the budget ones.

Great stay. Good location, clean.
The good: Friendly frontdesk. Free early check-in when available. Good and stable WiFi. Clean room and bathroom. Slippers and toiletries provided. Very good location. Near to all major attractions and many public transport possibilities. Ferry, tram, metro and busses are all <300m away. Good bed and pillows. Good curtains. Very dark in the room. Breakfast included. Complimentary two bottles of water. Good value. (early Dec 2015) The bad: Breakfast wasn't worth waking up for. The quilt was too small for a queen bed. The fridge didn't work well. Luckily there was a window ledge and it was cold outside. Not a great view - some 20 AC units. Mysterious unfriendly lady using a laptop at the desk at the bar area. Is she the owner? Not for people with large luggage. Come to Istanbul with bags only. Would stay again!

Raymond Hotel
The room was lovely but very small. It had a small fridge /safe /TV -but no place to put suitcases except on the floor where they were always in the way. Breakfast was not my favourite but there was enough of a selection that you could put something together.The staff were excellent. We arrived at 7 in the morning. We were told that a room was available and that breakfast was on the house as soon as we were settled.

Nice hotel in center of tourist attractions
The staff welcomed me even though I was early for check-in. They assisted me in getting an afternoon tour and immediately helped store my luggage. Throughout the stay the staff helped in arranging tours and also a return shuttle to airport. The room was small but very clean. WiFi was available for free in the room. Breakfast was very good and served in a pleasing atmosphere.

Very well located, clean and friendly
Very friendly and helpful staff. Room was impeccably clean. Food at breakfast buffet was great - although a little cold if you did not get there as the buffet opened. Beautiful, modern room. Lovely, busy area. Within walking distance of just about everything - Basilica Cistern, Aya Sofia, Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar, Bosporus, Archaeological museum, tourist shops, fast food, local food, little markets and more. Overall very well located, very friendly and pleasant stay. The only negative is the overpriced airport shuttle. I was charged 120Euro for a return trip to the Sabiha Gokcen airport, when in the hotel at the concierge desk there is an advert for a shuttle to the same airport for 12Euro one way, so perhaps advantage taken of first-time inquiring tourists?

Value for money at a convenient place
The hotel is located near all the major tourist attractions and provides value for money. The rooms are clean but small and the ceilings are very low. The shower and toilet are very neat and reliable. The beds sleep very comfortable and the rooms are very warm. ( During my stay it was snowing and below zero ). Breakfast is average.

good hotel
It's a good hotel, clean and convenience. The only problem is that it was difficult to find it at first since the hotel doesn't look like the picture, and the sign is very small. We passed it 3 times and couldn't find it.
