I had a mixed experience at Carlton Hotel in Istanbul. While the location was excellent, making it easy to access major attractions, I did encounter some issues with the service and room quality. The staff were generally friendly and helpful, especially Halil, who provided great assistance during my stay. However, there were maintenance issues in my room and the breakfast could have been improved in terms of quality.

My stay at Carlton Hotel Old City was quite mixed. The location is fantastic for exploring Istanbul, but I faced several issues during my three nights here. The room came with its own set of problems, from discomfort due to noise to a lack of proper amenities. While the staff were friendly and helpful, there were some significant shortcomings that detracted from my overall experience.

Rooms

5.0

The room I stayed in felt cramped and was in need of some maintenance. There were noticeable gaps allowing smoke and sound to seep in, which made for an uncomfortable night’s sleep. Additionally, the small bathroom felt almost claustrophobic, making it tough to move around.

Service

5.0

Though some staff members like Ahmet were exceptionally friendly and supportive, I faced a lack of responsiveness from others. For instance, communication about services and room requests could significantly improve, as I found certain requests weren’t addressed promptly.

Location

5.0

The hotel's location is a strong point, being close to major attractions like the Grand Bazaar and public transport. I appreciated being in the heart of Istanbul, with various dining and shopping options nearby, making it very convenient for exploring.

Dining

5.0

I found the breakfast quite disappointing, with very limited options for vegans like myself. Just toast and salad didn't cut it, especially considering other guests seemed to enjoy a richer selection of traditional Turkish fare.

Facilities

5.0

The hotel did offer some nice amenities like a spa, but my experience there was marred by staff smoking nearby. Overall, while the facilities had potential, they didn’t meet the standards I expected during my stay.
