I very much enjoyed my first short stay at the Orient Express and I have already been telling friends (including my local travel agent) here in London about this excellent hotel. This was my third trip to Istanbul within six months and the Orient Express has been (by a wide margin) the best experience of the hotels that I have... More

What a difference when we moved to Orient Express Hotel! Whilst the rooms were not quite as large a the other... More

The Orient Express may not quite share the opulence of the train it is named after, but neither does it charge the massive prices. The staff were unfailingly polite and helpful, the rooms and bathrooms are clean and functional, the free wifi works, the lift works, breakfast is good and there is even a swimming pool, though I didn't have...

This hotel has the three C's Comfortable, Clean & Central. Excellent all round, and will go an extra mile to help you Just Ask. They even did our on-line check in for us allowing us time to enjoy Istanbul. Had four wonderful nights here and are looking to return.
