Our stay in the hotel has been amazing, the room was comfortable and very clean, and the hotel is on a walking distance to the main tourist attractions, restaurants and to the Bosforo. The staff has always been super kind and useful at any time, thank you to Fouad, Oguz, Ahmet and Kenan. If we come back to Istanbul, we will surely choose Downtown Sirkeci Hotel again.

Our stay at Lazzoni was absolutely fantastic! It is the oasis of luxury and the hotel decor is by far the nicest I've ever seen in a 5 star property. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, going above and beyond to ensure our comfort. The rooms were spotless, with comfortable beds and modern amenities. we especially loved the delicious breakfast buffet each morning. The serving staff in the buffet and the manager Murat are perfect examples of what a 5 star hotel should be like, would like to thank Murat for his excellent hospitality. He was genuinely interested in making our vacation special. Also want to Thank one of the staff Mahmutcan at front desk for the friendly welcome and making our check-in process smooth and stress-free at 12am. We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Istanbul.

My friend and I had an incredible 7-day stay at the hotel that exceeded all our expectations. What truly made our experience unforgettable was the kindness and hospitality of the staff, especially Ramazan. He went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable, and we’re deeply grateful for his warmth and genuine friendliness. Ramazan played a huge role in making our time at the hotel so enjoyable. Without a doubt, we’ll be returning! We're already planning our next trip to Istanbul in August and look forward to staying at the 'Trip Hotel' again. Amazing value for money—thank you so much!

Very good location: close to the old city, all the attractions can be easily gotten to on foot. Not luxurious but clean and very good value for money. The hotel staff is very friendly - Kasim, Asim and Orhan are really helpful at the hotel desks, if you have any questions, please let them know. They came with good suggestions on visiting different places and how to get around Istanbul, especially since it was our first visit. We highly recommend the rooms with a view of the sea - it's stunning at night. We will definitely come back; it was a special experience for us as a family.

Some taxi drivers in Istanbul are unfortunately very dishonest and take advantage of tourists. My guests spoke Turkish perfectly and could communicate without any problem, but because they were tourists, this driver tried to cheat them. He drove them around for over an hour instead of taking the direct route and overcharged them. I have heard from many people that this is a common problem, especially in busy areas like Taksim. However, the next day, some honest locals helped them use the metro safely and without extra cost. Istanbul needs to ensure tourists can trust taxi drivers, because traveling in a new city should not be stressful or unsafe.

Unfortunately my experience got influenced a lot by taxi drivers between hotel and airport. The same way was at different price every time, taxi drivers at the airport don't speak English which is ridiculous. Nobody tells you even approximate price, even though they know exact location. The taxi meter shows whatever they want or so, impossible to read between lines. Willingness and friendly behavior are almost unknown to people in this location. This can be addressed with a system of who is allowed to have a business at the airport. I don't hold out hope that anything will change. People will pay even for rude treatment. Sad reality and statement.

Corlu is fine but not a tourist place. I was visiting friends. You are asking all these things but give no possibility of actually talking to you to get the problems we had sorted. The hotel you show was nothing like the reality. A wheelchair user could book this hotel and be totally stranded. Also locally it is used by prostitutes.

Nature walks, a lot of nice places to enjoy the beautiful scenery of valleys and mountains, Sapancha is a very nice place to spend a couple of good long days with the family and kids or with your partner.

Tuzla is a wonderful area on the edge of Istanbul. It has much fewer tourists and more of the local people, which gives it a more authentic feel of its culture. Despite having many restaurants and cafes now, you can still enjoy its calm atmosphere.

We were in Sakarya last year and visited only the park with the airplane transformed into library and restaurant. Really nice place to visit, also we eat great pide there in the park restaurant. Unfortunately there is no time to visit more for just one afternoon, but I would suggest visiting Sakarya, as with any other Turkish city, there are many things to visit and see that you just do not expect by looking at the map or booking website.

There are three aspects to this location that attracted my companion and I to Çanakkale thy Troy aspect and the Gallipoli aspect and the Military and Maritime museum. The horse used in the filming of the film Troy is easy to find and certainly holds attention. It's massive and the info nearby whilst sparse is informative. Located nearby is the Maritime Museum which also has the local castle in its grounds. This alone is worth the trip. The Submarine visit is a must with very knowledgeable English speaking guides to answer even the most challenging of questions. You could spend a day here and not get bored. The ticket is multi entry so you can enter and leave as many times as you want in a day. Although the national museum discount card is not valid the entry cost is well worth it. Then finally the battlefields and memorials at Gallipoli; sobering, poignant, and testament to the absolute futility of war. You need at least two days to fully explore this place. The museum there is very well laid out and easy to get around. We travelled across on the car ferry which was cheap fast and a pleasant sail. Parking is easy providing you park in car parks which do charge but at least you are not wasting petrol cruising about. I recommend this place to anyone wanting to appreciate the genisis of modern Turkey.
