Great location for starting out your trip. We stayed in 3 hotels urging our stay here and loved this location the best. Sure rooms are small and simple, but perfectly clean and adequate. Breakfast is nice and trasitional. Service pleasant. Would definitely recommend and return next visit

We had a great three day stay at Raymond. First trip to Istanbul so we were out sightseeing most of the time and not in the room much. The room was very small- even smaller than imagined. Would be hard for two singes to stay with much luggage- we only had carry-on and struggled to fit everything in. On a... More

We stayed in the hotel in Mid May for a four day trip in Istanbul. The location is excellent, a ten minute walk to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia etc, few minutes walk to the tram stop. Opposite the hotel and a few minutes walk away there are many souvenir shops, convenience shops etc The back side of the hotel... More

Central hotel, very close to important touristic sites (Blue Mosque, Ayasofya, Topkapi Palace), handy for the public transports, in the surrounding there are various restaurants if you don't want to walk too much for a dinner. The hotel is pleasant, the staff is kind and I've found the room pretty. Negative points: the room was definitely small and in two... More

Loved this hotel, the location was FANTASTIC, the rooms small but adequate if you only want to sleep, the staff was super friendly and helpful, nice breakfast. I totally recommend it. It is not luxurious, but very convenient, comfortable bed, clean, nice shower. Do not doubt it.

We visited the hotel in April 2013. The reception is very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was not great at all. The juice was terrible as well as the coffee... We had to purchase cans of juices instead at a cost of 4lira. Walking distance to the tourist attractions e.g. The Blue Mosque.

This hotel had a great location in the old city and very helpful staff but there it ended. The room was more like a cupboard with careful choreography required for 2 people to be moving at the same time. The bed (only a double) was the only place that there was space to open suitcases and this inhibited sleeping. The... More

We really enjoyed our visit to Istanbul and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Raymond Hotel. Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia, and the Blue Mosque were all very close, about a five minute walk. The room was clean, a little on the small size, but very comfortable. The bathrooms were also clean. The showers were heavenly after a long day walking.... More

The hotel was Boutique style hotel. The staffs were nice and it was comfortable to ask them for direction or any help. The location was perfect for people like us. The attractions were just few minutes away from Raymond Hotel. From our room we had a beautiful view of Bosphorus. I found the dining area to be excellent with amazing... More
