I had a mixed experience at Hotel Buyuk Sahinler. The best part was its proximity to major attractions, which made exploring Istanbul easy. However, I was disappointed with the cleanliness of the room and the quality of the dinner offered. While the breakfast was decent, the lack of variety and the state of the room didn't meet my expectations for a four-star hotel.

Rooms

My room was small and not very clean with uncomfortable mattresses and overused towels. It definitely didn't meet my expectations.

I found my stay at Hotel Buyuk Sahinler to be a mixed experience. The location was fantastic, with easy access to the metro and nearby attractions, allowing me to explore Istanbul comfortably. However, the reception staff seemed a bit indifferent, and despite booking two rooms next to each other weeks in advance, that request wasn't honored. Breakfast options were decent but repetitive over my stay.

I spent five nights at Hotel Buyuk Sahinler, and while I found it to be an okay experience overall, there were definitely some areas that could use improvement. The breakfast was diverse and quite enjoyable, though it was the same every day. My room was clean, which I appreciated, but the reception staff were not particularly friendly and didn't fulfill my request for adjacent rooms. The location was excellent, with easy access to the metro and a short walk to historic sites.

I spent a few nights at Hotel Buyuk Sahinler, and honestly, it was a mixed bag. The location was pretty good, close to the Grand Bazaar and tram stations, which is super handy. However, the overall quality of the hotel didn't feel like a 4-star place at all, with dusty rooms and unhelpful staff really dragging down the experience.

I spent three nights at Hotel Buyuk Sahinler during my first trip to Istanbul. The location was fantastic, just a short walk to major attractions like Aya Sofia and the Blue Mosque, which made sightseeing easy. However, I was disappointed with the room's decor compared to what was shown online, and the breakfast lacked variety. The staff's limited English made communication challenging at times, but overall, I found it a decent place for a short stay.

Rooms

My room on the 4th floor was small but clean, and the bed was comfortable enough for a good night's sleep.

Most of the staff didn't speak much English, causing some communication issues, though one staff member was polite and helpful on my last day.
