Zalel Hotels Laleli

The hotel is in a great location; The Grand Bazaar, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace can be reached on foot but can also be reached by tram from just outside the hotel. It is also very easy to reach Taksim Square and Kadıköy from Yenikapı by metro/train. We always felt very safe in the surrounding area and there were a few great places for breakfast very close . They also served good food for those times when you don't want to go any further to the many incredible restaurants Istanbul has to offer. Although the main roads are almost always extremely busy and there is a lot of traffic noise, we had no noise problems as the side roads surrounding the hotel are quieter. The hotel room was clean and very modern, as well as comfortable, with great air conditioning and a large fridge - very handy for storing plenty of water, which you can buy at a very low cost from the shop next door. The manager Mr. TATAR was extremely polite and helpful, he messaged me on WhatsApp a few days ago, offered to arrange an airport transfer and gave plenty of advice when answering any questions/requests. He was there every day and could always be contacted via WhatsApp with very quick responses when he was away. He was very friendly, always happy to chat and take an interest in what we were doing as we passed reception. and freshly prepared Turkish tea, which you could enjoy in the very comfortable lounge area.

Everything related to the hotel was perfect. Great location 3min from Aksaray Tram. Staff and service was great, they help you with the luggage and even open the lift door for you! Breakfast was good, nothing to complain about. Very safe streets around the hotel. Mr Tatar and the managers are very welcoming.

It was clean, nice location, easy to get to the main locations by public transportation (which was very close) and it had a non stop (I think) small supermarket very close to the hotel and very friendly staff.

The hotel is fantastic, with a great location – the bus comes directly from the airport to the hotel. The city center is within walking distance. The hotel itself is clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. The staff is friendly and helpful. Everyone speaks English. Breakfast is good and healthy. Highly recommended!

Staff are really nice, especially Mahmoud. A few minutes walk from the airport bus and tram station, a lot of local restaurants, shops and supermarkets, and room and bathrooms were clean and comfortable, breakfast was OK, not many choices but fine, also they offered us coffee/tea 24/7 for free
