Overall our stay was good, the room is large and comfortable, good breakfast included and the area is walkable. The downside is the lack of maintenance of the property and it is really outdated (curtains -BTW it think they never washed them), wallpapers peeling off. Just with a little TLC would be a great place to stay.

Staff is very helpful, location is great, family friendly i got the big room with 4 beds. Terrace is in pretty bad conditions they can do better use of it. I spent 4 nights breakfast was the same everyday ( a toaster is needed) Access arriving/leaving to airport might be an issue if working days / time. Will stay again? Unlikely

Terrible hotel
The hotel is very small. You feel you are in a house not in a hotel! The streets leading to the hotel are very narrow and bumpy and the taxi refused to reach the hotel so we had to walk with our suitcases in the bumpy streets for 5 minutes (very inconvenient). The family room is big and clean but extremely noisy as it is a commercial area and there isn't any noise isolation in the room. The breakfast isn't tasty and my daughter found mold in her cheese, when I showed the staff they just picked it up from the plate and left us the rest to eat!! They were like so what! One of the cleaners was mopping the floor and serving food at the same time! The only advantage is that it is 5 minutes walk from he grand bazaar but you see much better hotels around. I usually don't write reviews but this time I felt I would warn the tourists not to be fooled like us. Avoid by all means.

close to Grand Bazaar
The hotel is close to the Grand Bazaar (5 minutes, which does include a small hill to walk up-though given Istanbul's hills, it's not a bad one!). Breakfast was fine; it catered to all types of travelers, and as Americans who don't eat "sweets" for breakfast, we had no trouble getting enough. There were 3 of us, and our room was 601, on the top floor. Saying it was cramped is minimizing the situation, but I'm sure the room would be better if there weren't 3 twin beds in it. We did have a few issues with taxi drivers not being able to find it (and wouldn't ask for directions) but given the streets there, if you can get to the Grand Bazaar, you can walk to it. There are plenty of restaurants around so finding a place for lunch or dinner wasn't an issue. Large rooftop terrace, which was nice. It was easily within walking distance to major sites..

Super friendly staff
We really enjoyed our stay at The hotel. There was 2 members of staff were so friendly and went out of their way to make our stay pleasant. They offered us a cup of English tea whenever we came back after a long day sightseeing or shopping so we felt right at home! Would definitely stay at Grand bazar hotel again. It was extremely close to the grand bazaar and was easy to get to so we travelled around by foot or took the metro. The breakfast was lovely was lovely every morning and there was a good variety of choices.

This hotel is located in the local's area very close the Grand Bazaar & tram stop plus all the local shops & bakeries. The hotel staff are very very nice & will go the extra mile to help you. Breakfast was basic but enough to fill your stomach for your day ahead. The rooms are small but very clean. We had no problems with the shower, air conditioning etc. would definitely stay here again

Grand bazaar hotel was amazing!!
Got to the hotel at around 7am Istanbul time but check in wasnt til 2pm. However the staff members were absolutely lovely and allowed us to eat the breakfast for that day even though it was not included in our package they also got the room ready for us by 12noon rather than the usual time of 2pm.. Staff were very kind and they saw to our every demand with respect and kindness. The room was amazingly clean and we would get fresh linen every day. Overall i would definately recommend this hotel to everyone who decides to stay in Istanbul. Everything was in walking distance which was a bonus. Absolutely loved my stay.

Grand Stay.
The hotel was comfortable n really nice. Receptionist excellent n breakfast service tops. Attention must be given to the cleaning staff who don't clean your room properly. Sheets not changed, towels not given n room not swept daily. Was amazed that the owner himself works so hard at the hotel evening cleaning the wash rooms whilst his cleaning staff let him down. Will most definitely stay at this hotel again. Central. Easy access to all the touring sites n very well set out. Must jack up cleaning staff.
