I spent 4 nights at the hotel with my wife, and we were both very impressed – an excellent location with even more exceptional staff. They were available 24/7 for literally anything we needed. Before our arrival, I asked the hotel for a small surprise because it was my wife’s birthday. I requested a cake or some little treat to surprise her, and I was expecting maybe a slice of cake or a dessert – but instead, we received a whole cake and a beautifully decorated room, which far exceeded all my expectations. All in all, full praise to the hotel and all the staff – it was an amazing experience.

Mattresses were so firm it was like sleeping on a wooden board.

The room was a bit too small.

It was an average quality but fair with the price.

The breakfast was “okay”. Not the best but it was decent.

I liked that the location was close to the grand bazarre and other tourist spots.

I've been in this hotel just for a few days and it was a really good experience. The room was clean and confortable. The staff was very nice, thanks to them. They gave me good advice for my trip in Istanbul, they offer tea, coffee to spend a few minutes talking with them. The breakfast was really fine and the restaurant really good. Also, this hotel is very close to the main places you can visit in Istanbul. You can walk to reach mosquees and museums or just take the tramway to go there. I recommend this experience.

I genuinely have no negative comments about this place; both the hotel and the staff were amazing. The only minor issue was the very thin walls or possibly the very loud baby next door, so if you're a light sleeper, I recommend bringing earplugs. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel for a pleasant and convenient stay.

I stayed at this hotel in mid-April for four days, and I had an absolutely wonderful experience. The staff were exceptionally kind and accommodating, assisting me with my luggage up and down the stairs. They provided a wealth of information about local activities and hamams, one of which I tried and found to be a five-star experience. The location is fantastic, just a five-minute walk from the bazaar (not the Egyptian Spice Market side, but the other side). The tram stop is also only 4-5 minutes away, offering easy access to the Blue Mosque and many other tourist hotspots. My room was comfortable, ensuring I got a good night's sleep, and the staff were always responsive to any requests I had. The hotel serves a delightful breakfast and has a charming café area.

Stay was good and the Receptionist Sinan was very really Helpful. He helped us to order food and get a cab to SAW Airport. He allowed us to keep some of our luggage's as we will be back after 3 days for another stay. Overall it was great.

Airport transfer wasn’t very well organised (they didn’t collect me where they said they would) and it was quite expensive. Air con is only available in Turkish “summer”, even when it’s quite hot already.

Great location and friendly staff. Happily changed my room without any fuss.

I feel that breakfast was kind of limited in options, however taking into consideration the price, I would say that it was more than enough. Not an important problem. The lady preparing our breakfast every morning was very sweet!

We had an excellent experience at Elyka! The hotel is in a walkable distance to all main attractions in the historical center (Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi) and there is also a tram 2 mins away that can easily get you to many other areas of the city. The room was dialy well cleaned and we were also getting new complimentary bottles of water every day, which was very thoughtful and not really expected. Small family hotel, and all the staff was really friendly and accommodating. I would like to specially thank Berk and Sinan at the reception desk for all their advices and suggestions, they helped us a lot with organizing our days and they were always super kind. Good job!
