Hippodrome Hotel

Location good, people friendly, very nice terrace off our room with great view of the Blue Mosque.

Not as nice as depicted in the photos, sort of "shabby chic". Lobby and front desk not attractive at all. It was fine going across the street for breakfast, but certainly not as nice as in the pictures. Too expensive for the value received.

Central

We stayed in a renovated building away from the hotel. Seems like it used to be apartments. Breakfast was again in another building. The ad on booking.com was a bit misleading… showing the mosque instead of the actual hotel, and showing a huge discount, I cant imagine this room going for a higher price than I paid

The property has great location, reasonable amenities and daily breakfast. We loved the neighbourhood and the place is 5 mins walk to Hagia Sophia, blue mosque and another 5-8 mins to tram station. It is easily accessible to Ubers and connects to main highways. The staff were super polite, very welcoming and always ready to help. Highly recommended for small families.

Nothing really. The breakfast was in adjacent buildings rooftop. It’s quite decent. Everything was wonderful.

- location, close from the places and in the center of the city.- clean property. - staff are good and give advices and recommend places to visit.- staff helping in arranging tours and places to visit. - the restaurant view is great.

- I stayed in one floor and my kids in other floor due to shortage in the rooms. - the property is small but this is the style for the area. - the restaurant location in other building front of the hotel.

The staff is very friendly, specially the guys in the restaurant they always treated us very kind and offered us Turkish coffee in the breakfast, we loved. The room was clean and comfortable, the hotel is well located and you can have easy access to the main attractions in Istanbul. They help us to made a early check-in.

Room in the actual building of Hippodrome Hotel was really nice. There is an elevator so very convenient for luggage. Staff (especially one man at front desk) WAS VERY helpful with IstabulKart, instructions, getting taxi at the end of stay.Location is really great for exploring Old Istanbul.

Nothing about the hotel, but taxi drivers in Istanbul!!! They are dishonest. They turn on meter, but DEMAND CASH (not even once they would go by the meter and accept credit card). AVOID TAXIS IN ISTANBUL- use public transport with IstanbulKart that is very easy to use.

Our stay at the Hippodrome Hotel was pleasant. The location is excellent—within walking distance of the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and Topkapi Palace. The cleaning service was very good, and the staff were helpful.However, bottled water wasn’t complimentary; we had to pay for it.Breakfast was enjoyable, and the kids especially liked it. One downside was when my younger son asked for some extra sausages, and they said they were finished. I found this disappointing because I saw them preparing food in the kitchen and believe they could have made more. It felt like they might have prioritized locals, as we were not offered the same. My son was quite upset

1) The room (we had the room at terrace), my husband loved it since it's convenient for him to smoke outside whilst enjoying the view, I loved it too for its privacy, 2) the location (walking distance to Blue Mosque).

From the moment we were still on our way the day before our arrival, the hotel was already accommodating us. I was so impressed by how kind the manager, Ms. Arzu, was. They allowed us to check in early and even provided a temporary room for us to rest in after our 10-hour bus ride, while our actual room was being prepared.Not only that, but they also served us a delicious breakfast with many options to choose from. The hotel is very clean and offers a beautiful beachside view. The breakfast area has a stunning view of the Blue Mosque and the beach, where you can even see a lot of seagulls flying around.Another great thing is the location—it’s perfect! You’re close to many shops, restaurants, and the train station. All the staff at the hotel were so friendly and helpful, from the porter to the receptionists and the cleaners.I will definitely recommend this hotel to everyone. This will surely be our go-to hotel every time we visit Istanbul. Once again, thank you to everyone at the hotel!

Fantastic location near the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia. Lots of shops and restaurants on the doorstep. Spacious room with a fantastic view of the Mosque. Lovely staff.

Charming hotel in a fantastic location in the Old City, such a lovely city to walk around and marvel at the sites. The breakfast was absolutely fantastic with so much choice plus it was on the hotel terrace with sweeping views of the city. Stunning!

Nothing we didn't like.

Refund my amount . I have Video clip of room in that from Sealing leaking water on floor

The staff were friendly, the breakfast was great and the housekeeping staff were diligent

My room was very loud, next to the lift and you could hear every guest in the hallway late and night and early morning,

Location, Location, Location, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, Basílica Cistern and Topkapi Palace all under ten minutes walk and Grand Bazar is under 15minutes walk.

Roome was brilliant and well placed for all attractions but there is a cafe “ Fish and Meat” right across the road that served alcohol and loud music plays till 3am. If you are a music lover then it’s good, for us it was unbearable noise till late every night. Very annoying

The helpful staffs especially Sezgin and all others, the breakfast was very nice, the room and the cleaner, the wonderful area.A perfect hotel and area for visitors.

The noise at night in the nearby hotel.

Best location. Friendly staff. Very good breakfast.

Location was close to the the Blue Mosque and the metro station. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Traditional Turkish breakfast was great-lots of variety.

Rooms were a bit small.

The location is very good close to the market and Blue Mosque.

We had our booking from 26th November to 28th November through Booking.comFurther we had booking from 28th November to 1st December through Agoda.comAll our bookings were confirmed before we left India and i had all the documents with me and also on apps and on arrival the manager herself confirmed to us that we were booked till 1st December. On 28th November afternoon when we came back at the hotel from the market around 3.00 P.M. the man at the reception desk started misbehaving with my sister and niece and insulted them asking them why didn't they checkout in the morning and why they had come so late.My sister then told him that we were not supposed to check out today as we are booked for three more days till 1stDecember.I wanted to leave the hotel that very moment but could not because i had my sister and niece and kids with me.That is not the way you treat your guests. I have been to numerous hotels all over the world but never experienced such behavior.

Good location

Breakfast was very basic and over crowded

The very good thing is the location and the breakfast as well

Parking issue
