Mercure Istanbul Bakirkoy

Nice, modern hotel, everything as you expect it to be. 12 minutes walking through a lovely neighbourhood to train or metro to get to the city centre. Water fill ups, good Internet, friendly staff, big bed, silent rooms. All great.

We started our stay with a very friendly staff and whole team was fantastic.

We had a some issues with noise in the room but the hotel team was so so quick to get the problem fix with no time.

I had a pleasant one-night stay. Overall, the hotel met my expectations.

I felt the price was a little high for a one-night stay.

The biggest value of this hotel is the very helpful staff and the location - good access to public transport and in the middle of a shopping street.

The whole hotel needed a lot of renovation, the rooms are quite tired. We were most disappointed with the promised "very good breakfast", because there was none. It would be good if in the future they added that the breakfast was not very good for vegetarians, etc., because 8 different versions of olives are not a very good breakfast for us if there are no meat products like bacon, proper ham, etc. Of course, you won't go hungry, but if the hotel advertises that it is a four-star hotel, then unfortunately it barely gets a three.
