Radisson Hotel President Old Town Istanbul

The location is close to the street train station and the tourist attractions.

The hotel is on a downward sloping street that is not handicap friendly because of the uneven brick street and sidewalk. The road access is not easy for taxi pickup or dropoff.

Location was great as it was close to public transport, multiple restaurants, and Grand Bazaar. Breakfast was very good and plenty of options to choose from. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Rooftop restaurant's outdoor patio with great views of city and Sea of Marmara.

Room air conditioning was not producing cool air on warm days, it was as if just the air handler circulating room temperature air. A bit pricey hotel restaurant and bar for the area. Gym definitely needs updating (very old equipment).

Location was very good as the main sites in the city were close by. Staff were helpful. Food was very good. Ate there twice in one day! Transport is good as there is a tram stop at the top of the road.

Soundproofing could of been better. I was getting a early flight but woke up a couple of times as I could hear people talking in the corridor. Apart from that not much else.

Location was excellent. 250m walk to grand Bazaar and Beyazit tram station. Perfect spot for getting around the city. Great places to eat in walking distance. All round perfect location.

Good location to visit all the must-see sights.

Cleanliness. Helpfulness of crew.

The location was ideal for several top sites - Grand Bazaar, haga Sophia, Blue Mosque, etc. The staff was also very helpful with helping us get Ubers or arranging taxis.

Hotel is dated and the rooms are small.

Great staff, breakfast, location!

Rooftop music and food

Rooms too small

Bad

Shower was dirty (hairs), unfriendly staff, uncomfortable bed and pillows, no outlets in bathroom, AC was not working, overpriced.

Staff. Breakfast, gave me smoked salmon every day upon request. Excellent. Everybody friendly. Will stay there again.

The street is always dirty.

Great location. Maybe a five minute walk to grand bizarre. A seven minute walk to Blue mosque.

Property is a little tired. I guess they will be doing a renovation in the fall.

Everything was perfect the hotel was very clean and the staff always ready to help us .The restaurant was beautiful with friendly staff amazing food and very good service and the prices was very good too.

Location is excellent for the old city visitors and very accessible for public transport. the best part of our 6 nights visit was he staff of the hotel. Very well trained and let you feel special. Specially at reception Miss. Sudenaz Buyukyazici was very proffessinal and helped us right from the check-in and all the way in 6 days. bell boys and supervisors are very helpful in guidance and arranging any local assistance. Salute to the management and their training skills.

The room size and its bit noisy. The sound isolation is not good as you can hear next door guest while they are watching TV or talking. Which is not for privacy point of view.

Good location, close to major tourist attractions. Clean hotel and very friendly and attentive reception desk. Delicious food at the 7nd floor restaurant, fantastic view and great music at night.

We booked multiple rooms for our trip, since we traveled as a big group of family and friends. All rooms are really small, with barely any storage, and one of our rooms had an awful sewers smell coming from the bathroom. The odor just randomly appeared, but stayed in the room for a long time. The water in the shower would randomly get scalding hot, so we had to pay extreme caution when washing the kids. Overall, the hotel is very clean, but, despite all the 'No Smoking' signs, hallways always reek of tobacco. Hotel breakfast was not a good deal for the price we paid: the same selection of food every single day, not exactly great variety that one would expect from traditional Turkish breakfast, and the breakfast area was VERY hot, to the point it was very uncomfortable to stay in. Rooftop restaurant food was great, but the staff is hit or miss. One day, waiters are friendly and attentive, next day they pretend you're not there the wait to place an order and get our food would take over an hour. Also, closing time of 11pm, with no bar or pub open after that, is too early.Finally, always double check the reviews of the companies providing trips/excursions around Istanbul. At least one of the companies recommended by the hotel's front desk (beach trips provider) got awful reviews online.

The location was close to the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Basilica Cistern, Grand Bazaar, and Galata Tower. Although we didn't use them there was a pool, spa and a roof top restaurant.

Although we were close to the places we wanted to see we didn't really like the busy, hectic vibe of being so close to the Bazaar.

Mr. Azzim and the other staff are amazing.He is very caring and helpful. Always smiling & helpfulI felt safe inside the hotel.

From the day I arrived , the receptionist was kind of rude when I asked why we don't have rooms with balconies...there was a mess and that's why I only stay 2 days and left. The only thing I liked was the roof terrace/restaurant

breakfast was good but items could be varied so one wasn’t eating the same foods daily.

Room and halls were shabby. was in need of an update.

The indoor pool

They offered earlier check in for a small fee, which I accepted. But at the hotel they could not honor their own offer. The clerk implied it would be about an hour until a room would be available. An hour and forty minutes of sitting in the lobby every other person waiting was accommodated, but now no idea when a room would be available. If they had just said that up front I would not have wasted 2 hours of my brief stop in Istanbul sitting. When I went to the restroom, leaving my luggage by my chair, they moved my luggage and someone else occupied my chair.Just days prior to my arrival they notified me that the street would be blocked at the end of the block.What they did not say was that you would have to haul your luggage uphill on an unevenly paved street. They should have had staff at the entrance to help , but there was not. As a Senior citizen I only made it uphill because a passing local man hauled my suitcase for me.
