  • The President Hotel - Istanbul
    The President Hotel
    by aozcakir
    I have stayed at The Presidemnt Hotel on New Year's eve (2004). The gala dinner and the ball was wonderful. Both the service and quality of foods and drinks were perfectly balanced.

    The accommodation and the friendliness of the hotel staff is worth to mention.

    The rooms were recently refurbished and better than most of the 5 star hotels I have ever visited.

    I congratulate the hotel management and staff.

    Very close to Grand Bazaar and Sultanahmet, great for shoppers and old city lovers.

    Offers very affordable rates. Good value for your money.

    This great 4-star hotel rests on Tiyatro Caddesi just five minutes from the Grand Bazaar. Since Istanbul can be a confusing network of lanes, the huge complex of Beyazit Cami and the Watch Tower at the top of the street are prominent landmarks by which to relocate this hotel. From the roof (which has an outdoor and indoor pool), you can see the hills of Asia, the Blue Mosque, and the Princes' Islands in the Sea of Marmara. From the doorman to the merest porter (or hamal), they'll treat you like the Grand Turk you are.

    Breakfast is served on the sixth floor, where you can watch seagulls play and observe the dozens of vessels at anchorage in the Sea of Marmara. The staff speak many languages and regardless of your origin, they will make you feel at home. Located on Theater Avenue, you might taken in a belly dancing show with your dinner next door at the Orient House. Rooms are comfortable, windows open up to admit the sounds of Old Stamboul, and the staff is always polite, informative and efficient.

  • We stayed for one week at this hotel for our first time in Istanbul, and almost everything was great.
    First, the location is excellent, because you are within walking distance of all interesting places, and you can have a taste of the more traditional Istanbul. This includes street selling booths, fruit sellers, men sitting at the doorstep of shops and houses, traditional bakeries and eateries, but also narrow and dirty streets. If you prefer a more European-style clean residential neighborhood, the area of Taksim, in the northern part of the city, is full of good hotels for you.

    The hotel itself is excellent for the price (we paid 70 EUR/night with BOOKINGS.COM): A little swimming-pool with solarium, a wonderful terrace restaurant to see the sunset while having dinner, nice lobbies, free Internet, free gym, a cozy English-pub beautifully decorated, 24 hr room service, etc. The rooms are not too big, but they are well fitted, everything worked fine, (yes, including airco and warm water), lots of free TV channels, and the beds and bathroom were absolutely clean. Breakfast buffet restaurant is also beautiful, with a small terrace to have breakfast with a wonderful view on the Bosphorus and the mosques; the buffet assortment is good, but do not expect wonders. In general, the staff is quite helpful and friendly.

    As a possible drawback, you must realize that the hotel is big, not very expensive, and packed with tourists like us, which means that service details are not always "exclusive". On top of that, we stayed during the peak season: waiters seem a bit exhausted and can make mistakes, the reception lobby is usually quite busy, the solarium is always full in the evening, etc.

    All in all, an excellent choice if you want to see the real Istanbul being in the middle of it, but you also want a good level of comfort to stay a few days.

    Definitely recommended.

    Beautiful terrace restaurant. Good buffet breakfast. Nice pool and solarium. Excellent location.

    Everything about this hotel was great. We arrived early and they prepared a room for us while we waited over a cup of Turkish coffee. The room was very nice - comfortable beds and bedding. We even had a view of the Marmara Sea. The room had a flat screen satellite TV, free wi-fi, laptop safe, bathroom with bathtub. See website for list of additional room/property amenities.

    Breakfast was a delicious and huge buffet served on a higher floor - Terrace Restaurant - with a wonderful view of the sea. Each day the breakfast included hot items (eggs, meat), fruits, yogurt, cereals, cheeses, jams, cold meats, olives, dried fruits, etc., etc. and a selection of the most delicious breads, along with fresh juice, coffee, and tea! It was fantastic - an absolutely perfect way to start the day!

    One of the best things about the hotel was the location. It was on a quiet side street but about 2 minutes walk to the Beyazit tram stop and Grand Bazaar entrance, less than 10 minutes walk to Blue Mosque, Aya Sofya, Basilica Cistern, and Topkapi Palace. At the Beyazit tram stop there are several small casual restaurants with great outdoor seating so you can enjoy a meal and people watch. Between the Beyazit tram stop and Sultanahmet (Blue Mosque) along the tram route, there are so many restaurants, shops, etc. It's a great walk anytime of the day or night!

    I highly, highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again!

    A very good hotel, with good service. Friendly staff made me feel welcome.
    The hotel has a great location and is close to most sights, like Blue Mosque,
    Aya Sofia, Hippodrome etc

    The rooms can do with some refurbishment.

  • A warning for new guests : This hotel gives many promises, but the service is terrible.
    Our experience :
    1. NO taxi as promised service to pick you up from the airport : we had to find our own way and pay the taxi by ourself in the middle of the night
    2. Hotel was OVERBOOKED : at arrival NO ROOM available ! We slept on the couch.
    3. First small (used!!) room 335 was only for 1 night : that was so : the next morning we where offerd to change to room 439 : Perfect room.
    4. After 30 minites the phone : the receptionist forgot to tell us that we had to pay 615 Euro in stead of 395 that was booked ! Unexcepptable. Change to another room than : our third room in one day : again all luggage packed
    5. Third room : very small : I never experienced such a room in a 4 star hotel !
    6. No airco working : temperature up to 29 degrees in October !
    7. During 3 days : NO SOAP in the room
    8. During breakfast a lot of SMOKING people.
    No possibility to sit separate.
    The General Manager was very unpolite to my wife and did made any helpfull suggestion.
    An experience after our honeymoon in April .........but now we do not want to have SUCH A BAD EXPERIENCE AGAIN !!
