Grand Hotel de Londres

A great success. We all loved the hotel and staff and thought it very good value for money.

Pros: The breakfast was very good. Excellent coffee. Open for long hours (07.00-10.30). The staff were brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble. Very good cleaning staff, excellent, friendly and helpful management. The style of the hotel (1892) was great and all the staff pulled together. The location is superb, right in the centre near many excellent, reasonably priced eateries. The staff would always get taxis for you when required. Great that there were no tour groups in this hotel! All individual travellers.

Cons: The ubiquitous red carpet and some of the wall paper in the bedrooms needs replacing! Pity the roof bar and terrace was not open (because it was winter)

A happy reminder of old Istanbul

Pros: Staff are always friendly and welcoming. Location is fab. I love the historic atmosphere.

Cons: Breakfast is a bit limited. Fresh orange juice would be good.

Hotel is very nice with very good interiors and the common area on the ground floor is very good for taking pictures wit

Pros: Interiors and terrace bar with an outstanding view

Cons: Kitchen area was disgusting, not well maintained , breakfast not good

I like the place so much

Pros: I was super happy with this hotel and staff. they were super nice

Cons: I didnt have wifi in my room. we booked a suit room but no wifi there

Pros: The roof terrace is amazing. The staff were very helpful and friendly and everything was really clean. Great location!

It feels like a privilege to stay in this hotel - nothing like it in the whole world

Pros: Surely the most iconic hotel in Istanbul. Walk in and it’s time travel to a different world of how travel once was. It’s beautiful, antique, unique, has starred in many films, eg Edge of Heaven, and it’s not even expensive. Loved it.

A cinematic experience.

Pros: I was brought to this hotel by the films of Fatih Akin. And it completely met my expectations. I would highlight the terrace with a view of the Bosphorus Strait, making it unnecessary to wander the surrounding streets in search of cafes. There is also friendly staff and the hotel owner, a charming man with above-average knowledge of English for Turkish standards. It's true that the hotel doesn't have everything to meet the maximalist expectations of today's tourists, but it has that elusive and inexplicable something that affects us subconsciously, like our favorite movies that we watch for the hundredth time. P.S. Don't be spoiled when it comes to breakfast. There is plenty of what is offered, enough to set off with a full stomach to explore this complex and magical city.

Perfect hotel for a perfect stay in Istanbul

Pros: Loved the uniqueness of this hotel. Great location. Very helpful and friendly staff. Felt like I was on a film set

Cons: Poor wifi reception in the room. Bath and shower could have been updated

Pros: To live in this hotel is like live in a movie. In Wes Anderson movies.

Nice place to stay location difficult to beat

Pros: If you like ottoman style furniture and rooms this is for you, the staff are very helpful and friendly

Cons: WiFi could be better breakfast too.
