Great location, just south of the Blue Mosque, right on the waterfront, so you can overlook the sea of Marmara from your balcony. Very friendly and helpful staff. Very soft and comfortable linens. I think that all of their rooms are suites, so they are a decent size. Couch is comfortable as a pull out bed if you have a... More

The hotel in general is of a good standing for the price. The rooms are comfortable and clean enough. The breakfast takes place in a sunny room with a beautiful view and there is a quite rich choice of food. The main monument area is very close. And most of all, the staff was friendly and helpful.

Do not be surprised, this is not the most luxurious hotel and the rooms are quite small. The rooms have laminate floors, tile bathrooms, and a plastic/glass shower enclosure, which they "tried" to make look a bit modern. It might not be aesthetically interesting, but the location of the property is more than perfect, it is FANTASTIC! It is easily... More

This hotel was probably our favorite stay in Turkey. It has all the amenities of a modern hotel, has a great location , and a good price. The desk attendant was extremely nice and set us up on the third floor with probably the best view of the Blue Mosque. There wasn’t a lot of space in our room, but... More

On the surface, this hotel looks great; it's in a good location (within a 5 minute walk to all the main sights), it looks 'boutique' and it looks pretty new. However, there are many things wrong with it. First of all, the room is absolutely tiny for the price (I've stayed in other hotels literally around the corner so can... More

We enjoyed our stay here, excellent location, there was one less-than-friendly receptionist but the other two were super friendly so it made up for his grumpiness. A little noisy with the trains in front but I would stay here again.

The hotel is set in a calm street. It overlooks the sea and is a few minutes' walk away from SultanAhmet mosque and the HagiaSophia museum, the grand bazaar and many other historic attractions. For its price I find this hotel very satisfactory because I had free fast Internet wi-fi, flip-flops, reasonably priced mini-bar, satellite tv, a safe, and a... More

No problems with this very nice hotel. We had a junior suite and it was reasonably spacious with a panoramic view of the sea and a nice bathroom. True, if you looked down instead of out you could see the railway line and the road, but the sound didn't penetrate and this wasn't a factor. The hotel is on a... More

Bucoleon Palace Hotel is lovely place to stay! The room was clean and looked just like the professional pictures on the website. Stayed in an economy room which had a street view, as opposed to sea or blue mosque, but it was a beautiful room, at a great price. Friendly staff, very close to all the sites. I absolutely recommend... More
