    The shuttle pickup from the airport was rather complicated and took a while, however, my shuttle to the airport was prompt and dropoff was simple.

    Beautifully decorated rooms, and you can't beat the location - walking distance from all the nearby tourist sites so you can beat the rush. Breakfast was huge and delicious, it could accommodate plenty of diets.

    This Hotel located close around 10 minutes to top attractions like the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia & Topkapi Palace. Plus, there are Bazaar and small convinience shop nearby too. Best things happened to me in the hotel is that: The Gentleman at the counter let us to have early check in as we were so exhausted from almost one day travelling from Madinah & the Breakfast i love it for its variety! I 'll miss this place surely 🥹

    We really liked our stay at Katelya Hotel. The hotel staff especially Yunus and Ferhat really guided us well about everything. The cleanliess and breakfast was also very good. Also, our daughter had her first birthday and they greeted her well with baloons and the decor. This gesture was a really nice one. And we will definitely choose Katelya for our next visit to Istanbul inshaAllah.

    The furniture is a bit old and the room is small, but didn’t bother me.

    The location is top, very close to city center, and you can park your car in front of the hotel. The hotel staff is super friendly and very kind. Also the woman from the restaurant cooked for us fresh omelette almost every day. I recommend!

    Great little gem near all the main locations. The rooms are perfectly clean and maintained with an abundant buffet breakfast ( + the nice lady makes different type of omelets depending on your request). There is working elevator to reach upper floors.Really nice personnel they provide tips suggestions if you have any questions. Nothing to complain about the room is big to comfortably stay there, however you're not there for the hotel but for the wonderful city.Everything within walking distance.10/10

    The bathrooms are in need of a little maintenance-it was difficult to adjust the shower at the right temperature, it just was old and worn, as was the shower area itself.

    Excellent location and very helpful and polite, friendly staff. Room was very comfortable and definitely value for money.
