L'emplacement est idéal pour visiter Istanbul.
Personnel très à l'écoute et agréable.
Chambre familiale avec 2 chambres séparées, idéal pour l'intimité de tous.
Très bon rapport qualité / prix.
Dommage que notre chambre ait été oubliée le dernier jour pour le ménage et le linge propre

The location was perfect, very central, and public transportation options very near, the room was clean, very kind, helpful stuff, the rooftop restaurant is a must!
There are two buildings; one is Raymond Hotel and the other is Raymond Blue Hotel, in Raymond Blue the rooms on Booking look completely different and I booked here, but got a room in Raymond Hotel, when I asked the stuff about this why our room looks different than on the pictures (our room looked older than the pictures and completely different bathroom, decoration, size) they said it is because the rooms got recently renovated, which is little bit hard to believe, since the decoration in our room was damaged and the room didn't look new at all. The breakfast was very average.
1.0
The breakfast was good, location is excellent, room was cozy but extremely small.
Overall value for money is „shorle-bolle”!
Mister Abdulah is very friendly and helpful.
The receptionist was very rude: he was selling a product (internet data SIM cards) without any information. Asking for clarifications, he had a single answer „I DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR REQUESTS”. So, his attitude was no friendly at all!
In fact, I think selling that kind of products could be illegal, in a sort of way.
They provided us the smallest ever seen room - 2m x 2m, in fact they didnt provide the room as shown in the pictures. The single extra-option was jacuzzi bath-tube, but this could not compensate the lack of comfort!
The entrance door had been broken and they worked for repairing it even by nights!
We parked in front of hotel, which suppose to be „free of charge” but they charged us with 10Euro/day. In the description of facility is written „parking not provided”.
Overall staff attitude: the are giving lies and THEY DO NOT CARE about customers.

Sehr zentral. Das Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Es gibt kaum was zu meckern. Das Frühstücksbuffet könnte reichhaltiger sein.

Location, breakfast
Room was not clean. Smaller then expected. We did not get the room we booked. Booking ad was not clear. Raymond Blue and Raymond hotel... We booked Raymond Blue but were put up in Raymond Hotel. They are side by side, I feel like they over booked. Location is loud, rooms are noisy, not sound proof, you hear EVERYTHING, even if there's music in the lobby. Staff was nice but the rooms were dirty. We cleaned the floor and bathroom ourselves- towels were dirty and there was open soap in our room. Bed was ok, but noisy, pillows were horribly firm. Room safe questionable. We left the Do Not Disturb on our door the entire stay as they certainly do not know how to clean probably. Worst so far in all our trips to Istanbul.

Excellent location, nice breakfast, lot of facilities available, helpful staff.
The rooms are so full of things that there is no space left to move around. It’s downtown Istanbul so the limited space is understandable but unpractical as well. They also have some of the dirtiest hotel rooms I’ve ever seen (don’t look under the bed!). Also the baby cot was full of food crumbles, sand and oil spots. Only after asking 5 times and waiting 3 nights, we got a clean one. Finally, don’t take the breakfast coffee but instead go to the café in front of the hotel and have a delicious coffee to start your day.

Location was perfect for a huge city with many many attractions. Breakfast was buffet style with a wide variety and good quality providing for us, sufficient food until dinner in the evening.

It is a terrible hotel, small rooms, terrible smell of sewage and food in the rooms. There is another window next to the window (we used to drink coffee from window to window). The price is very high compared to the hotel. My advice would be don't go here and don't be fooled by the photos

- The staff were very friendly and helpful, especially Mevlid. Wonderful guy, his hospitality was second to none.
- The location was perfect for sight seeing. Equally placed between the markets and the two mosques. Mamaray and tram stations are around the corner. A good base to have when exploring Istanbul.
- The breakfast was amazing. Huge variety of food and great service from the catering staff. Good seating and tables. If you stay for more than one night, the kitchen staff will change the main hot dishes every day do give variety in case you might get tired of eating the same foods. 07:30-11:00.
- The room was very clean. Everything was working, the shower pressure was good. We had a TV, fridge, kettle with coffee and tea, and toiletries. The bed was comfortable.
- The hotel is easy to access. It has 24 hour staff available. There is a lift.
- Great value for what you pay for.
- The pillows were a bit hard but can be switched for soft ones.
- Some upkeep was needed aesthetically. Although Raymond hotel blue is still being renovated.
- There is a loud music playing and noise from the bar which doesn't stop until midnight or 1am which may mean your sleep is distriburbed. The walls are thin.
- Shower was slightly small in ground floor room.

Very central, the staff is super nice, speaking English, supported us with any need. Breakfast is abundant with a wide choice of food, the room was cleaned and functional. Highly suggested, very good value for money.
The wifi connection was present but a but tricky to get. Our room was facing a wall, but you can pay extra to get a room with a better view, so maybe will do so next time.

The hotel is in a great location. All the main attractions and tram station are very close. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
Although the room and bathroom were clean and the towels were fresh, I was disturbed by old stains and holes in towels.
10.0
The staff was extremely helpful and kind. The building was fully wheelchair accessible (the elevators are a bit narrow but most wheelchairs will fit diagonally at worst). During the first night we went there, it was around 2am. Despite the late time, the staff members went to extreme lengths to help us, they even found an open food shop nearby and came with us to show us the way.
Excellent experience.
