The rooms were old-fashioned and not well-maintained. I found the carpets dirty, and my bathroom leaked everywhere. On top of that, the noise from the street and internal live music made it difficult to relax.

While the staff were polite and accommodating, their efforts couldn't fully compensate for the issues I faced, like the lack of proper room cleaning despite my 'do not disturb' sign.

Location

The hotel is positioned well for visiting many attractions, but it is situated in a very busy and noisy area, which made getting a good night's sleep difficult.

Breakfast options were limited, with only bread and cheese available for free. I was shocked to learn I had to pay extra for eggs and juice, and the overall quality was not what I expected from a 4-star hotel.

My stay at Hotel Zurich Istanbul Old City had its ups and downs. The staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to help me with various arrangements. However, the room I initially stayed in had issues with the electricity and an unpleasant smell from the drains. Plus, the noise from the hallway and nearby construction dampened the experience.
