Istanbul Hotels with Breakfast

"I had a very pleasant stay at Four Sides Lion Hotel Taksim. The location is excellent, just a short walk from Taksim Square, metro stations, restaurants, and shops, which made it very convenient for exploring Istanbul. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with any request. The room was clean, cozy, and comfortable. I especially liked the bed and pillows, which helped me sleep very well after long day. The hotel offers good value for money, and overall I enjoyed my stay very much. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Istanbul."

"Convenient location, close to the city center, clean and hygienic, friendly service."

"I booked this hotel based on other reviews. After staying at the hotel we were rather disappointed! So I will be honest no detailed. Firstly the state of the bathroom was poor , mould and bloated vanity unit. The toilet seat was broken.Shower area mouldy see pics. An unmarked dispenser of either shower gel or shampoo, cheap and poor. No other toiletries supplied other than cheap commercial soap. There is no kettle or tea/coffee provided in rooms nor is any bottled water supplied. The room was quite musty and aircon output was mediocre. Simply put room was poor but the location was fantastic , 10 mins walk away from the Blue mosque and about 15-18mins to Topkapi palace. Breakfast was hot and miss no eggs or cereal on first day nor was any fruit provided. Breakfast menu is poor and inconsistent, mainly catered around turkish pallette , you'd think they'd cater a bit better considering virtually all guests were foreign. The front desk reception folk were good especially Fatima, whom with we had good banter, and she recommended some places to visit. Overall don't expect much other than a worn bed and shower at this hotel and enjoy the sites all within walking distance. Would I stay here again , NO will look elsewhere. Owner really needs to focus on bringing the standard up and possibly charging more ,which would have meant repeat custom from me, definitely not a three star however that's based on a Turkish scale. Oh and the lift says 4 persons but only three sticklebacks allowed. The roof top terrace is cafeteria, separate, but you feel compelled to purchase as the staff approach you. The location was the only saving grace and all the cute friendly cats roaming around everywhere."
