Maya Hotel

Clean everyday without being told. Good value for money as the room not that small for 2 persona, breakfast considered nice and location is very strategic for us

No kettle provided in room.

The guy's on The reception was very professional and Kind, I appreciate their support during our stay, and as well they kept our personal extra Bags without issues Thanks a lot

The Blonde old lady on the Restaurant was not respectful, she have a Weird behaviours with All of us, especially during Breakfast,She behaves like we are at her home with a disgusting gestures.Thanks anyway

staff, complimentary water/juice, gift at the end of the stay :)

mold in the shower, destroyed towel rack

The service offered by very very young reception people is great as they are all new Instagram generation. The rest now good at all like Jurassic Park treat.

Not updated in nothing. I have got esthetic, style and lack of customer service shock. It was like a slap to the expectations of contemporary european traveler. Also, no english spoken. Yet, us tourists we pay for the stay. Also didn't feel safe in Istanbul and people were not that friendly at all.

Not clean, bed sheets were dirty, AC was not working, no blackouts curtains, I did not stay due to dirty room and bathroom and other as I listed aboveI wish I took photos of the room

Only the locationDon’t make a mistake like I did because of the locations

was clean, great location

small bathroom

I stayed at Maya Hotel for 5 nights in total. I liked everything about Maya Hotel. The location was ideal for me; easy walking distance to all my favourite locations: Grand Bazar, Aksaray, Kumpkapi, Fatih Mosque, Sultanahmet; all are within easy walking distance. I even walke to Eminonu (via Grand Bazar). Having said this, both Metro and Tram stations are less than 5 minutes walk. Staff was great, absolutely wonderful in fact. Everyone I approached responded extremely nicely. Rooms are nice and clean. Housekeeping ladies were always there to help. As you might know, Turks love to smoke so some rooms may smell of smoke; it's better to ask Hotel beforehand. Breakfast was absolutely wonderful. I never had a better Breakfast in any 3 Star hotel before. Reception staff were extremely helpful. I give you an example; I am travelling in Turkey and had a spare large suitcase. I asked if it can be kept at the hotel for 10 days, they happily accepted. This was a massive favour to me as otherwise I had to carry it unnecessary wherever I was travelling. A BIG thank you to all staff. Finally, you can not go wrong with Maya Hotel with their prices at all. I did read some negative comments and all I can say is if you are after extreme luxury, there are 4 and 5 Star hotels around. I am staying again at Maya Hotel whenever I am travelling to Istanbul.

My first 2 night were in a room that was probably occupied by a very heavy smoking couple before me. However, when I complained, they moved me to a much fresher room straightaway, where I spent my last 3 days happily.

Very good value for money. You have everything you need to stay in the heart of Istanbul during your trip. Friendly personnel, clean functional bathrooms, air conditioning, daily cleaning, water in the fridge, breakfasts etc. Excellent location - most of the key city sites are within 20 min walk.

Wi-Fi coverage could be better. If your room is far from the router, the connection can get quite unstable/slow. One could nitpick that interior design could be more stylish and cleaner (e.g. hide cables etc.).

I made the “last minute” booking since due to some weather issues I had to spend one night in Istanbul waiting for my upcoming friends. My Mom and I stayed in Maya hotel in 2004, so I thought it might be cute to stay here in 20 years. Maya was good in 2004 but today in 2024 I can say it is excellent. Great location, not very crowed streets, no tourist buses and slow tourist groups. Hotel is clean, bed linen good, water pressure in shower good, no smell, complimentary water and juice, very good breakfast (no champagne and strawberries, but all what we used to have for breakfast: eggs, sausages, cheese, tomatoes, crunches etc). Greatest option for 1-2 nights in Istanbul. The stuff was very helpful.

All was good.

Clean, welcoming staff, nice location, I would definitely stay here again

second time to stay there, clean, good location, nice and polite staff, handy transport to many tourist places, good breakfast.

price could be reduced to attract more people as it was similar to some 4 stars prices.

Good friendly staff. Good thing there was an elevator. Nearby within walking distance of attractions, metro station and restaurants.

The water in the shower was not draining well. There is only 1 bedside table for three beds. There was nothing in the minibar. Slippers are bad, wearing at all uncomfortable.

Location , good staff, especially at the breakfast

Room was all smoky, I had to open window for fresh air. And furniture is old, no kettle and tee cap in room, only water.

Location: it s well located at lalleli near vezenciler metro station and istanbul university tram station , near fatih so you can do the historical tourist attractions without being near them where it s crowdyPersonal : the second good thing is the staff they re at your service at breakfast they re doing their job and making sure everything is good.

The hotel is not well maintained 0 maintenance the room and the lobby everything is old veeeeery old and small veeeery small the AC not working well the TV is small , you feel like the rooms of those old motels in road of somewhere the bath is small the hot water sometimes isn't that hot sometimes it s get hot suddenlyThe room since it s hot and small you re forced to open the window and then you get all the noise from outside you end up closing it Overall a bad experience and the price was high compared to the experience I will never ever get back to it even for a free stay the owners must close it a d renovate it.

Good price, not far from a tram stop, had a decent breakfast, had AC

The wifi was very unreliable

breakfast was very good,staff very helpful and location was great.easy access to metro

Great central location with really helpful staff who would go out of their way to help. Aircon was a real bonus with the heat. Organised taxi back to airport and really efficient. We paid cash as no facility to pay with credit card which was no problem for us

Breakfast was somewhat limited although staff again really nice and helpful

Almost no advantages, I never recommend this type of hotel!!!I don't know if you can call it a really Hotel!

1-The breakfast was varied but none tasted good!! Some food and fruits were old and rotten, the breakfast staff were very unpleasant so that you had to sit there as they were allowed. 2- The shower was very small and the water had unstable pressure so it increased and decreased the water pressure so it was very hot or very cold. 3 - no sound insulation when you hear everything from outside or when someone walks in the corridor or when the staff talk to each other early in the morning. 4- You are never welcome there and you don't see a smile back!!! 5- Old bed and furniture and only light and sloppy cleaning gets the room.

the staff was super friendly and the location was good.

bad shower and horrible wifi

Everything was perfect from location, food, room service, cleanliness and especially the staff that was beyond helpful and friendly. Surely we will recommend the place to others and stay at this hotel again. Thank you so much Maya Hotel for the great accommodations, till next time. From Baron's Family.
