The President Hotel

We stayed for one night while passing through Istanbul. We chose this hotel because of its close proximity to the sites we wanted to visit. The room was very clean, but small. The staff was exceptional-spoke English and were helpful and kind. Parking was a bit trying but doable. There’s a tight parking garage underneath the hotel with valet to park for you (thank God). Grand Bazaar was literally right across the street and it’s an easy 10 min walk to Hagia Sophia! I would recommend this hotel!

The Hotel is perfectly loctated if you wish to explore the Grand Bazaar and surroundings (Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace etc) for a couple of days. The rooms are dated and need upgrading but the beds are comfortable. We however struggled to get a goods night sleep due to the air conditioning not working. The Hotel has a gym but one of the treadmills (there are only two) was not working and the weights machine was out of order. The pool is small and requires you to were a swimming hat. The jaccuzzi and steam room have a 10Euro per person charge which is ridiculous.

it was very good hotel

I absolutely love this Hotel. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, they all go out of their way to accommodate you and your family! Very clean and and right next to the attractions and shopping areas.he terrace is a plus where you can get a city and water view. The Manger Ilhan was very friendly and helpful.
