Carlton Hotel Old City

I am an experienced traveler and a good review is very helpful so I will give my opinion here in order to help travelers choose where to stay. First this hotel is a very good value 3 star hotel. Located well in the suburb called Laleli which is central in the Old Part of Town, literally 10 mins walking to Grand Bazaar or 15 to Aya Sofya and Sultan Ahmet Mosque/Topkapi. 100m rom the hotel there is a metro station that takes one to Taksim (3 stops) or there is a Tram 1 which cuts through Old Town/Sultan Ahmet, via Cirkeci Train Station and Galata Bridge all the way to Dolmabahce station. So location of this hotel is excellent to explore all Istanbul has to offer. As for room, very clean, daily refreshed and bright. There is kettle and tea/coffee as well as small fridge. Cleaners are really thorough and do their job well. We arrived in the evening and met Guleser at the reception and she is 'always smiling' woman who is keen to help and advise. Now breakfast is a reason why one would stay here! I have been to quite a few Istanbul hotels and breakfast is quite a sordid affair, but here when you enter there is variety: fresh tomatoes and cucumbers, olives and herbs, yoghurts breads cheese, eggs fried and boiled, different deli salami, lots of Turkish cheese then every morning chef prepares potage which is such a great way to start your breakfast. And that is not all there are shortbreads brownies fruit for dessert plus coffee/tea, and few different juices to try as well. The breakfast room is kept in perfect order by the waiter Emir (who speaks excellent English and that is not common in Turkey!), and his colleague Dilek, they are so quick to clean and keep the place tidy and fresh, plus help with anything you need, and they Chef Evren who prepares the potage and other delicacies. I hope this will be helpful and believe me if you decide to stay here you will not be disappointed! Slobodan

Cosy and clean room. Several restaurants and small shops nearby. Metro station only a short walk away. We arrived before check in time, but the receptionist Ahmet still gave us a room and even invited us to have breakfast. Great service!

Thank you very much Carlton Hotel Old City for 6 nights in Istanbul! The best compliments to the staff of the hotel and special greetings to Mrs. Güleser Kizilcalel from the reception who is impressive for her readiness to meet all of our request in terms of our expectations regarding room services.

The room was comfortable and clean. The breakfast fresh, many kind of cheeses, vegetables, eggs, sausages, fruits, breads, hot and cold drink and cakes. Carlton Hotel location is excellent in the middle of the city and near the tourism places.I did like the staff[management, receptionists {Adulkadir, Guleser and Mervan}, the restaurant's staff{the chef, Emir, Evren and Dilek}, the cleaner's staff].they are very friendly and helpful.

i really appreciated the early check-in. The staff was very nice to me, and the breakfast was good
