Pros +
- The location is good– just a short walk from Sultanahmet, the Blue Mosque, the Grand Bazaar, and many other attractions. Although the hotel is situated on a hill, it is reachable on foot, though it may not be ideal for elderly guests or those with limited mobility. The staff is very kind.
- Convenient transportation near Tram T1 / Metro M2 , near food street ,market local , Bayazit Square , Sultan Muhammad. Grand Bazza
- i stayed for 8 days in the property.the property is located in a good location, around 400m from the metro station and the area is full of restaurants and shops, 300m from the beach and around 2km from sultan ahmet mosque.the property has two supermarkets beside it, a mosque and grocery shops.property is providing an ok breakfast, rooms are clean and the cleaning lady is really professional, beds are comfortable.and the staff are very nice and they can help you with a lot of stuff such as Bosphorus trips, Transportation and and plans for good prices,
Cons -
- The room was very small, with an unpleasant smell from the drains and a cramped shower cabin. During the stay, there was no water for one full day and no electricity the next day. The walls are thin, so noise from neighboring rooms can be heard. There was a lot of dust, the curtains were dirty, and the balcony was not clean either.The hairdryer didn’t work, although a replacement was provided. There were visible damages to the walls, indicating that the hotel is in need of serious renovation. The food lacked variety, and the bread seemed to be from the previous day.
- The way up is a steep hill. Breakfast is too local.
- the property is located in a very noisy area where the noise stays on until all night until the morning.no water is provided in the room, or even a water heater.room is very tiny and i would say its much less than 24m.the area is a bit dangerous at night.i’m from jordan, but i noticed that the staff are very racist and they try to promote Turkish trips and services over the Syrians,staff shouldn’t be promoting services based on nationality but based on the quality and leave the choice completely to the tenants.

Everything was great, stuff and service and terrace with amazing wiew.
You need to add traditional Turkish coffee in menu. Everything else was great.
Location very good, staff helpful.
Breakfast fairly basic.
Breakfast was very good.The person who looked after the breakfast was just exellent
We were placed in a room with a double bed between 2 walls so there was no space to walk . We literally had to get on to the bed from the bottom of the bed.When I booked my reservation I told them for 2 twin beds I was not happy with what they gave us.I should get a refund for it. The second night at 3:00am there was a drill noise avery ten or fifteen minutes.So we could not sleep soundly. We did complain about the noise they told they were sorry.
The manager was quite helpful and that's about it really
Nothing about the hotel was good at all or as expected as per the descriptions and photosThe room is very small and not very clean with a lot of issues with the bathroom ceilingThe area is extremely noisy all day and windows don't isolate muchWifi was so slow and not working properly We had to book another hotel and move out from first day couldn't even stay there for one dayBooking.com doesn't work in Turkey for some stupid reason so we couldn't request cancellation online but discussed it with the manager and he agreed
I arrived to the hotel very early in the morning as checking was at 2pm, I was told when Nezir, the manager, arrives which is at 8am only he can make any Decisions. So as soon as Nezir arrived he told us to have breakfast, which I did not have to pay for and by 8:30am we received our room. I can’t complement Nezir enough for his warm welcoming and very kind nature towards me and my family, He is one of the best manager that I have come across. He is such a lovely and considerate person The staff at the hotel were all, so welcoming very friendly and and very accommodating.
Locations is good. Staff takes additional commissions for taxi and excursion prices. Breakfast is the same every day.
Very helpful and friendly staff, spotless clean rooms and comfortable bed. Overall a good value for money
Wifi is good. Roof terrace has a nice view to the Marmara sea. The T1 station Grand Bazaar is nearby even though the road is uphill. The price is really affordable.
Breakfast lacked diversity and some dishes weren't refilled even though it was 1.5h before the end of the breakfast.
Breakfast was not good at all. The poorest part was breakfast ?
Having new bed sheets and renew the bathroom and make it more clean
I liked how simple and easy everything is, how nice and helpful are staff, how everything is clean.Breakfast is also really good, its swedish table and there is variety of foods available, simit, milk with cereials, all kinds of marmelades for bread, watermelon, different kinds of vegetables, eggs, etc.Also nice thing is terrace on rooftop, its possible to take coffee or tea from kitchen (comoletely free all the time) and go to drink in the terrace and enjoy view, hang out with cats which are all around and bring your own snacks from outside.In surroundings of hotel there is plenty small shops to buy candies, traditional food (which is cheap, deserts). Lots if important sights in Istambul are walking distance from hotel, there is also metro station 10 min wqlking away which is cheap and easy to use, so there is almost no need to use taxis or private car.
I stay 18 days This is the best Hotel in istanbul best price breakfast was very Good mr suliman and nazir very friendly and mr ahmed ?every thing is clean relly i recommended this hotel all my greetings and respect for the staff thanks for every thing ❤️❤️Mohammad Ali
Nothing every thing was good
The service was excellent ,every day nice cleaning.the receptionest Mr Sulaymon was very helpful and polite.
We do not know May Hotel. They give our room to someone else by mistake. The boy in recepción was kind and arranged another hotel for us, he even picked us by car to nearest one.
We have stayed at May Hotel from 02 july 22 to 13 july 22. The location was very good, the most visited places like Sultan Ahmet mosque, Hagia Sophia and the Grand Bazaar were like 10 minutes away by foot, the breakfast was very good and always fresh. The place was being cleaned every day and bedsheets were replaced. I would also like to mention the guy who was serving the breakfast Ahmet abi was very welcoming. The reception staff (Sulaiman and Nadir) were also very kind and helpful.
i liked the fact where it is located in a perfect location where all shops are available on a less than a minute distance and the property is clean and very nice and a few min walk to restaurants of all kind fatih area is beautiful and the property is not far from main sightseeing places. the cleaning sisters were amazing
i cannot complain everything was perfect the property is very up to date and beautiful
Staff were all fantastic. Very friendly and helpful, they all went out of their way to make it a very enjoyable stay. Mr Ahmed makes a great omelette too,on the quiet! Hotel is well located, walk uphill when you leave for the best restaurants. Blue mosque, aya sophia , grand bazaar and topkapi all within 15 minute walk
It's not quiet! I'm not sure anywhere in Istanbul is. Don't let the external noise spoil it for you, it's still a great place to stay
The beds in the room were comfortable for sleeping. The tramvai station was near and all historical places as well.
The breakfast was very poor, every day the same. The internet in the room was very bad, only in lobby is ok. Very noisy outside, so couldn't sleep well and have a good rest. In the bathroom everything were very old, some things even broken, the towels were, also old and with holes. On the terrace of the hotel was very dirty, the chairs and tables were old.
