Great location, good people but awful wifi
Pros: Firstly the location is really good 10 mins walk to the blue mosque and other places. Staff was excellent and curtious. Breakfast spread was amazing, loved local cheese and bread variety.
Cons: The Internet was a huge problem, it kept disconnecting our entire stay and we couldn't use it at all. We also couldn't control the thermostat at night it became so warm 🥵. There was no iron in the room.

Recommended.
Pros: Location. We were given courtesy accommodation by Turkish airline for their stop-over program. And decided to extend for 3 more nights. It was a good decision choosing this hotel. Because of the location that is close to the historical sites in Sultanahmed area. We had a bit if a problem with the blanket. And they willingly change the blanket to a brand new one.

Delightful hotel and staff were amazing. Thank you.
Pros: The location was great. Loved the inclusion of traditional offering for breakfast including the slab of honey on the comb that goes with the numerous cheeses. The rooms were great. The bathroom was beautiful, clean and very functional. Our room was high with sea views which was amazing, with blue mosque in one corner, and the other the expanse of the Marmara. Even the hallways had the old world charm, gold patterned wall paper with oil paintings you might see in old castles not ikea. The staff was amazing, at breakfast the head waiter helped explain some of the ‘Turkish’ offerings and rarely was an emptied plate left on tables more than a glance. The maitre d at the roof top restaurant had that charm that reminds me of old Hollywood movies. Our meals were faultless, and the views were stunning. After our day on trains, planes and automobiles we headed to the roof restaurant for our first hungry meal in Istanbul after checking in, and we got a delightful sunset view over the sea.
Cons: I didn’t like the weather Istanbul gave us on the 2nd day. The winds were icy, and the rain pounded our window. There was a tower by the shore and the waves rose to 2/3s its height on numerous counts. Given the age of most building in the old town, it was not surprising that leaks happened. 1 call to reception and 2 minutes later, the window leak was inspected, and housekeeping attended to the small mess and towels laid. From the look of the sill, it wasn’t the first occurrence, but what mattered was how it was dealt with. 10 out of 10 on my books.

A warm, seamless, and wonderfully hospitable stay — highly recommended.
Pros: Wonderful stay at Grand Yavuz as part of the Turkish Airlines stopover. Smooth late-night check-in, great hospitality, and thoughtful support throughout our stay — including helping arrange our return taxi. Excellent location within walking distance of major mosques. Special thanks to Umay from Guest Relations for her outstanding care. Highly recommended.
