Monarch Hotel Istanbul

For the price, it's ok as expected. The host is friendly, and help us with our heavy luggage. He gave us the first floor because there is no elevator, which was great. Lighting is not enough, the room was dark and rest room was a bit cold. pillow covers were clean. again, for the price, it was ok for two nights.

Spent a total of 5 nights in this hotel. Staff are all fantastic, especially reception and security. Very smiley, helpful and approachable. Rooms are a very decent size and, most importantly, clean. Tea and coffee making facilities are very good and bathroom is good too. Like the fact you can open the windows and that there are extra layers in the wardrobe. Unfortunately restaurant is extremely hit and miss. Biggest issue is the temperature of the food which never got much above luke warm and we were never offered anything to drink (at any meal) other than the water and juice. Location is OK but not very central however the little supermarket next door is excellent. There's also a couple of banks across the road and reception can change money for you too. It was definitely an adequate place to stay and wouldn't be unhappy going back.

We were booked here through Jordan and Beyond, Exotica, and were greatly surprised. All the staff were entirely pleasant and went out of their way to please us. Especially Shane at the front desk who helped us numerous times. It was fun trying all the food as we are American. If you are into spices, nuts, tea, coffee, and more, there is a fantastic shop called AL Rayhan, just 1.1 km. An easy walk.

The building is old and need renovation, but personal even they don't speak englisch is super kind und friendly

Location was good but the room Very small. Breakfast boring No lift

As the rate is cheap, i went with minimum expectations. The hotel is 50/50, for this rate the property quality is understandable. However staff is extremely rude. Have never seen such kind of behaviour.

Das ist unsere schlimmste Aufenthalt in Istanbul alles voll mit Schimmel & dreck leider kann ich keine bilder hier senden wen das die Hygiene Behörde sehen würde währe das motel schon längst geschlossen ins zimmer müssten wir erst mal 50 treffen hoch mit den Koffern & niemand hat uns geholfen in der Nacht spuckte etwas im gang herum die lichter flatterten & man hörte Geräusche vom Personal wurden wir angeschrien & sie sagte zu uns „SUUUSSS“ bedeut soviel wir halt deine Fresse mit einer agressiven stimme also nicht zum empfehlen!!!!!
