Ilkbal Deluxe Hotel & Spa

Ilkbal Hotel is right in the middle of wholesale bazar. Steps away from tram and all historical sites you want to see when visiting Istanbul. Staff are all very professional friendly and super fast in providing quality service. Sauna that i used was lovely. Breakfast even tho the same options every day, it has all needed to start the day right and i loved how courteous friendly and wonderful restaurant staff were. I really enjoyed my time in Ilkbal hotel and highly recommend this hotel.

Nice Breakfast terrace view of Marmara sea. Clean and spacious room.

Very convenient for shopping and sightseeing also close to some excellent hotels.the down side was the hotel was dry

The hotel location was ideal for us. Just me and my wife so it was easy for us to walk to the tram stop at laleli and also to the yenkapi metro station. It was nice to be in the middle of all the hustle and bustle so we can see how the locals go about their day. The hotel itself wasn’t good. Housekeeping was just a change of bins, bedding wasn’t changed, towels only changed if we didn’t fold them, floor wasn’t swept. The woman doing the cleaning was nice though. Breakfast was ok. Had a nice view as it was on the eighth floor. It gets VERY busy after 9, so try to go about 8.30. Menu didn’t change the whole week we were there. The gym manager was very rude! Didn’t give us any inkling that were rules for going into the pool. I couldn’t use the gym without feeling like I was doing something wrong. He gave us a small tour about the services but didn’t tell us that we need caps for the pool, they don’t supply towels etc. Because we were out the majority of the day, we didn’t stay at the hotel that much, but due to the treatment of the gym manager, the short time we were at the hotel, was made uncomfortable.
