Totally recommend
Pros: I had a wonderful stay! The location was perfect, the room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were incredibly kind and helpful. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Istanbul!
Cons: Although not a real downside, breakfast was served in a nearby hotel and didn’t have a lot of variety. but overall it was still a nice start to the day.

Very nice hotel, would recommend
Pros: The staff were very nice, room not huge but perfectly adequate and had everything I needed, good bathroom and shower, good A/C. The breakfast was excellent
Cons: If I was staying in Istanbul again I might choose somewhere other than Sultanamet as it is very touristy and expensive restaurants but for that area the hotel is in a quiet street and feels pretty relaxed

Exceptional hotel in the heart of Istanbul!
Pros: Lynda hotel was an exceptional place to stay for myself and my girlfriend. The location is unbelievably convenient, located within a few minutes walk of the main attractions in Sultanahmet, yet somehow also it is tucked away in a small side street so it doesn't feel too busy, and it still feels like a restful, peaceful hotel to stay at. The room was great for the price (a little small, but very modern, good bathroom/shower, and kept very clean). The smart TV was quite handy for watching Netflix/YouTube before bed. Lastly, the staff were very warm and friendly. Ibrahim greeted us at the front desk on our arrival, and was really helpful and gave some great suggestions to us. His calm and friendly persona were always nice to come back to whenever we returned to the hotel.
Cons: The breakfast was okay, not outstanding, but satisfactory for the price paid. The restaurant for breakfast is actually located within another hotel next door to Lynda hotel. This was no issue for us, but as it is on the top floor of the building, be aware it may difficult if you have mobility issues. One criticism is that I do wish there were a few more options for food/drink. That said, this is a very minor criticism. Overall we were very satisfied.

Great istanbul
Pros: Staying at Lynda Hotel was a great experience. The hotel is located in a quiet yet central part of the old city, just a short walk from major historical sites. Our room was clean, cozy, and tastefully decorated with a modern design that still reflected the character of the area. Everything was well maintained and comfortable. What stood out most was the warm hospitality — the staff were incredibly kind, helpful, and always ready to assist. They truly made us feel welcome. If you’re looking for a clean, peaceful, and friendly place to stay in Istanbul, Lynda Hotel is a perfect choice.

Perfect location
Pros: The staff were exceptionally nicely and always helpful.
Cons: The room was so small, it did not have a wardrobe, so I had to live out of my suitcase. Bathroom needed more thorough cleaning. Springs of the bed were poking out. View from the balcony only shows concrete back walls and has no seating, useless. Breakfast was served on the roof of a neighbouring hotel without an elevator, making it difficult for people with mobility problems. I had chosen to stay in a place with an elevator but had not been made aware that over 60 steps had to be climbed to receive breakfast. The meal itself was something to look forward to, freshly cooked variety every day and here also the staff were absolutely lovely. I realize that in this marvellous location, quiet but only minutes walk away from the major attractions, a small boutique hotel cannot have the space and facilities a large chain hotel can have. I am only pointing out these deficiencies so other guests might not be disappointed. I would glady stay there again.
