Star Holiday Hotel - Istanbul

Lille hotel med super beliggenhed i Sultanahmet. Hagia Sophia og den Blå Moske og andre top-seværdigheder og resturanter ligger lige uden for døren. Vi boede på værelse på 4. sal (ingen elevator) med delt bad og toilet. På vores etage var det intet problem da vi vist var de eneste der benyttede det og der var lås på døren til både bad og toilet. Værelset […] (og toilettet) var rent og der var nye håndklæder dagligt. Dog kunne vi have ønsket et lidt større værelse, da der ikke rigtig var nogen plads til baggage mv. Morgenmaden var ikke værd at skrive hjem om. Alt i alt et dejligt hotel med god beliggenhed og renlighed! Kan varmt anbefales! Læs mere

Vi vil især rose receptionens venlige og imødekommende personale. Morgenbuffeten var rigelig og lækker, men jeg kunne ønske mig af personalet kunne tale lidt engelsk og var lidt mere smilende (bortset fra EN ung mand der var meget imødekommende. visse værelser havde en meget ringe udsigt jeg ville gi dårlige tilbagemelding hvis jeg skulle bo på 2. sal […] Bedst at bo på de 2 øverste etager.

Hotellet har den bedst tænkelige placering, med fantastisk udsigt til den blå moske og over hippodromen fra morgenmads-terrassen, og dejligt tæt på sporvognens stop. Kvaliteten af hotellet er ok, - det passer til prisen. Desværre måtte vi affinde os med kolde bade om morgenen.

godt beliggende hotel, der svarer til pris og kvalitet.

Hottellet ligger meget centralt og med alle de største seværdigheder inden for gå-afstand. Værelserne er ringe og man skal bestille ekstra for at få bad og toilet for sig selv. Rengøringen er la-la og kvaliteteten generelt er under middel. Morgenmad er OK. Støjniveauet i området er utroligt højt, mest på grund af imamernes højttalere, der brøler ud […] med et lydniveau, der sikkert er over smertegrænsen for de fleste - dette gør de fra klokken 4:30 om morge- nen, hvilket er en form for terrorisme, idet man jo bliver vækket, nærmest i chok, over dette utrolige opbud af religiøst vanvid, på et tidspunkt, hvor de fleste helst vil sove. Alle disse genvordigheder opvejes dog trods alt af hotellets beliggenhed. Men ali i alt : Vi vender ikke tilbage til dette hotel. Læs mere

There is no lift, and it was difficult carrying our luggage up a spiral staircase to the top floor. When we got there and opened the door, we could have fallen right onto the bed. The room was basically big enough for a queen-sized bed and about 2 feet of free space to the side. The breakfast room had about 5 tables, and guests were lined up waiting […] for them to become vacant. The breakfast served was a typical Turkish breakfast, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The location was absolutely perfect, but the price wasn't worth it.

I normally stay in hostels, and Star Holiday was great for me. The room was clean, including the all-important linen.

Stayed here on a weekend layover in between flights with the wife. First occurrence set the tone of my opinion to this place sour. They offer pick up and shuttle to and from the airport for a fee, it was nice to see my name held up by the young man as if I was famous.He even helped with the bags from baggage claim to the shuttle.....but we had to walk […] from domestic to international simply because the shuttle driver was picking up a couple in international...it was a long walk through a parking structure with a huge bag and no wheels...I wished I had just took a cab. The hotel is really in the heart of Istanbul and the middle of all the action,no need for a cab or car to get most places.Room was clean and they had moth balls in the sink, very neat idea to keep a consistent neutral smell in the restroom. The window is more of a vent so that's great in summer but bad in winter, had to heat the restroom by running the hot shower which was very relaxing by the way.Staff was helpful enough I guess nothing special. The breakfast was nice standard hotel breakfast selection but the draw is the rooftop view of all the life of the heart of Istanbul, it was very classy and romantic. Læs mere

Billed as a 3* hotel, the hotel has many shortcomings that prove otherwise.This should be rated as a 1* pension If that’s your expectation, you may like it. The hotel has many positives – it has a fantastic location The sitting room on the second floor is nice with big windows overlooking the mosque and square below. The staff is friendly and helpful. […] Wi-fi was strong. On the downside…the room was stuffy and hot (in December!) even with the heat turned off. Sheets were clean but beds were soggy – and don’t take those sheets off to see the mattress! There were two sconces for light – nothing more. A small wardrobe, beaten up table/desk (not even a chair), and a beaten up nightstand, paint peeling from the ceiling. The view was directly into the next room, maybe 2m away, making opening the faded, greying drapes inadvisable and adding to the dismal feel in the room. Now that shared “bath” was but one ill-lit bath per floor, each consisting of a cracked sink with mothballs in the drain and a toilet area big enough for the toilet only – and that toilet “room” was the shower! Gross! There was a tiny roach (just one) in there and the thought of showering inches from a communal toilet was abhorrent. I never felt clean. There is no lift in the hotel, In sum, 3 stars this is not. I suppose the price for the location might warrant staying here if you know what you’re getting. I sure was disappointed. Læs mere

I guess Istanbul is kind of an expensive city. With this hotel I must've been paying for location.

And it had no a/c, which i thought it would. Didnt need it this time. The courtyard it opens onto isnt a courtyard at all but a shaft in between rooms.

Some of th others I've been to don't give you one or th other. and th hotels here give you a bottom sheet but not a top sheet, which seems strange to me. But when in Rome...

The hotel is very basic but you get what you pay for and we did not pay a lot. The space between the single beds was quite narrow (about 2 to 3 feet). The loo flush could have been more vigorous.

This is essentially a hostel. Shared bathrooms have tiny rooms. The place looks nice from the outside and is in a great location, but for the price you can do much better. The bathrooms were absolutely disgusting and didn't have any toilet paper. (And no, it wasn't a bidet, the staff is just two surly dudes that refuse to do anything.) We asked for […] a wake-up call but it never came, luckily we woke up when the power went out in the whole hotel at 4 AM until 6:30 AM. There's no emergency lights so we stumbled around in the darkness getting dressed and packed with the light of a cell phone. The place is dirty, the pillows are the worst I've ever slept on (and I've slept on terrible pillow before but this was the worst). My bed was also tilted about 15 degrees down from horizontal at the head so it felt like blood was rushing to my head the whole night. There's also no top sheet. You just sleep on an oily sheet on the bottom and have what I can only describe as a large and filthy dish towel for warmth and to cover you. The shower is in the shared bathroom and occupies the same 5x3 foot space as the bathroom. You essentially take a shower while standing over the toilet. There is also no towel rack of any sort, nor any place to put other shower essentials like soap and shampoo. It's not a terrible place as hotels/hostels go, but it's extremely overpriced. The distance to the sights in the old part of Istanbul doesn't make up for it. I'm glad I only stayed one night. My girlfriend also has a dozen bug bites all over her from that night. So there's that... I couldn't recommend it. There's plenty of hotels/hostels around that area that are way nicer for the same or lower price. Stay away from the Star Holiday Hotel. Læs mere

The support staff were fine, even very friendly, the room was clean enough and breakfast was sufficient. However, for the amount I paid, I expected a bit more repair and esthetics.
