Richmond Istanbul

The location and room was amazing, right below is istiklal street, please note that the cabs cannot reach right in front of the hotel cause it is next to the russian consulate.

The breakfast is average, and also we found it a bit weird that bottles of water is only provided on the day of check in and not everyday.

The location is on Istiklal Street, and you're surrounded by many shops and restaurants. The subway and bus station are within 5-10 mins walking, but to get to the train it's about 10 mins of a downhill, be aware! The staff were very helpful and friendly during our stay, especially Mert and Firot, who were exceptional! I was worried about the street noise level before our trip, but the rooms were actually quiet, and we had no problem. The breakfast was definitely a highlight of our stay; they provide a diverse selection of cold and warm food for breakfast, which was very pleasant. I would go back for my future trips.

The entrance from Istiklal Street has 20-30 steps leading to the lobby. They don't have an elevator for those stairs, but they have a stair lift, which means you need to buzz the staff to help you. If someone in your party struggles with stairs, keep that in mind.

The position was good, good breakfast.

The hotel is quite old and run down. I got the room with a huge discount, but the ‘original price’ cannot be true. Even the discounted price is overpriced.
