Stayed in the Crowne Plaza as part of a tour so didn't pay the hefty price tag. It is a decent hotel, with good facilities in a central location (walking distance to Grand Bazaar). However, in my opinion is not really worthy of it's 5 star status. The fitness center has a large sign displaying opening time of 7.30am. As... More

The Crowne plaza hotel is a decent hotel in the old city. During the day this hotel can be noisy. I think the windows are rather thin and there is a mosque next door, a ton of shops and a lot of traffic and people honking, but in the late evening it seems to calm down and the morning seemed...

The hotel was paid by Turkish Airlines, so the 400 euros/night fee wasn't a problem. Nice bedroom, excellent breakfast, fancy building. The neighbourhood is a bit scary at night, but it's quite close to the Grand Bazaar.

We stayed here for one night and our last night while on a 2 week tour of Turkey. On the upside: the location is great and we had wished we had stayed here for the first 2 nights of the tour as everything was within walking distance to the hotel. There were nice places to grab a snack or a... More

Stayed here for 3 nights for business in Istanbul. Hotel is broken down into 4 blocks on each corner of an arcade styled lobby; large ante room sitting room to main large bedroom with well equipped large bathroom, with good overbath showering. This room (3305) was sold to me as a standard room, in addition there are some suites, which... More

While we found the rooms nice, clean and in very good repair, the same can't be said for the staff and/or the breakfast. I've had a more positive experience at hotels I've stayed in for less time and spent far less money per room night. We had what are typically small problems, i.e. an outlet was not working & the...

Was on a group tour and stayed for just one night. The assigned room was small and had one tiny window. Bathroom had a narrow, rectangular layout with the "throne" right behind the door. One needs to maneuver a little just to close the door :( Definitely not for anyone who's of a larger size. No shelving was available in... More

since our connection flight was missed (avoid Turkish Airlines ...) we were brought to this hotel for one night: we got incredibly tiny rooms just below the roof, with smallest windows down on bottom of the wall - and the ventilation fan of all hotel right before the window: even closed you had the impression of sitting still in the...

Albert Einstein once said that doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result was insanity. I'm a Priority Club Platinum member and have returned to this hotel from time-to-time hoping things will improve. I give up. The location is great for my interests. But when you have to ask the staff to help with luggage, and... More
