Friendly and helpful staff. The lobby was comfortable and welcoming. We were greeted with a cup of Turkish tea or coffee, and they were able to let us into our room early. The complimentary breakfast was wonderful and fresh, and we enjoyed eating at the restaurant on the roof, which had an amazing view of the city and the Sea of Marmara.

The location is excellent, the internet speed is good, and the air conditioning was faulty, forcing us to change rooms. The second room had very good air conditioning, and the soundproofing was average in the second room and good in the first. The rooms and bathrooms were small. The breakfast buffet offered a variety of delicious food. The staff were friendly and helpful, especially Imam and Ozir.

I solo traveled to Turkey. The staff at the Olimpic made me feel like family. I felt safe and secure at this property. Ebru was so very helpful with everything. I would recommend this property to anyone who wants local experience The location of the property is within walking distance of everything in the old town.

There was nothing that I did not like. From location to staff, everything was perfect. Staff went out of its way to be helpful. I'm sure they had my review on their minds but they seemed genuinely caring. Only , temporary, issue is the rooftop which is being renovated, and is not available for breakfast. I was however able to get a view of the mosque and bosphorous from the top.

Good view from the breakfast room. Quite a noisy hotel due to the central staircase and also as we were on floor 3 directly under the breakfast room/ kitchen where maintenance was being done.

I definitely recommend the Olimpic Hotel. It is very close to the Hippodrome & the Aya Sofya & the staff were all absolutely wonderful. I was treated like a special friend by all the staff. Margarita, Dogan, the receptionist & the breakfast staff were all so kind and helpful. The roof terrace has a magnificent view & the breakfast was healthy and filling. Comfy bed and good shower.

The breakfast was fresh and the view very nice. All the staff are friendly. We'd especially like to thank Mr. Ali. He contacted us before our trip even began, which made us very happy. A small hotel with a great and safe location. The sheets and towels were clean, and there was coffee, tea, a heater, toiletries, and a hairdryer. It met all our expectations for our 3-day trip to Istanbul, and we recommend it to everyone.

The hotel is in a very convenient location. It’s only a 5-minute walk to Çemberlitaş Station, and most of the famous sightseeing spots are within walking distance. It was the perfect base for exploring the city. The facilities are a bit dated, but it wasn't an issue for me. More importantly, every staff member was so kind and helpful. I can't thank them enough, especially Mr. Dogan and Mr. Ezel, who went above and beyond! The breakfast room offers a fantastic view of the city, which was a great way to start the day.

This may not be a 5 star luxuary hotel, but the staff makes you feel like YOU ARE 5 STARS!!! From before I arrived, they made me feel at home. After I arrived, it was even more so. Everyone in the hotel and their partner restaurant was nothing short of amazing. I mean, everyone- the front desk, the housekeeping, and the restaurant staff went above and beyond to make our stay special. I took my mom with me on this vacation. Last year, she had a stroke and can barely walk now. The staff at both places doted on her like she was their mother. They made sure she had food, they picked her up and carried her, they always asked about her if they saw me without her. It was truly heartwarming. The breakfast was good, and the lunch and dinner at the restaurant were so delicious and filling. We tried other places but always went back to them. If youre looking for a small intamate hotel close to everything, Stay here

Budget-friendly basic stay

Reception staff were lovely and ever so helpful. However the hotel itself is a bit run down - there were some holes in the walls, the towels and bedding weren't completely clean, no mirror in the bedroom and the breakfast was bland. Lovely views from the rooftop cafe though, and great location for transport and sightseeing.

The hospitality was amazing. ALL staff we encountered were amazing people who were very welcoming, polite and helpful. You receive unlimited tea, water and coffee down at the lobby after being there for almost a week they already knew my preference and would just bring it out. 10/10 recommend. I saw a comment saying it gives a 5 star hotel feel and I agree. The is a smaller hotel but such a great option also very close to the grand bazar and the tram to get around the city.

We had a wonderful stay at Olimpic Hotel in Istanbul. The hotel was very clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The location was excellent and made it easy for us to visit many of Istanbul’s famous attractions. A special thank you to Imam, who went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. He was incredibly kind, professional, and helpful throughout our visit. When I lost my bag, Imam took the time to assist me and helped me recover it, which was a huge relief for me and my family. His support and dedication were truly outstanding. Imam also recommended many great places to visit and provided valuable local advice that helped us enjoy Istanbul even more. His hospitality made us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived. The buffet breakfast was amazing, with a wide variety of fresh and delicious options every morning. The quality of the food and service exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend Olimpic Hotel to anyone visiting Istanbul. Thank you to the entire staff, and especially to Imam, for making our stay so enjoyable. We will definitely return in the future!

Great option for an Istanbul visit!

The staff was great, very accommodating. The breakfast area was great, top floor of the hotel. There was an elevator, so that wasn’t a problem. The breakfast was plentiful for a European buffet. Loved the bread and the juices. Had boiled eggs, but more lunch meat and veggies than I would say was breakfast. The room was clean and bed comfortable. The ac was great- once we figure the slide on the front covered lots of features. But highlight- it was very close to everything on the old town - Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, even Topkapi Palace, the grand bazaar and spice bazaar area. A great place to visit from if you are wanting to walk and be right in the midst of things.
