Hampton by Hilton Istanbul Sirkeci

Great hotel, pretty new since early 2024. Near spice bazar, near jetty for Bosforus cruise. The room is cosy, clean and secured. Breakfast is quite good, and the lift is well maintained.

Our stay at this hotel had both positives and inconveniences, and I want to share a clear and balanced overview for future guests. The room itself was comfortable enough for a short stay, and housekeeping did come daily, which we appreciated. However, there were small details that detracted from the overall experience. For example, the sheet on the bed had been put on upside down when we arrived. Not a major issue, but it did make the room feel a bit less carefully prepared. Housekeeping also missed some very obvious trash. We had several empty water bottles that were piling up in one corner of the room, and although we didn’t place them directly next to the bin, it should still have been clear that they were trash. The bin provided was extremely small, so there wasn’t really a practical place to put them. It would have been helpful if the cleaning staff had removed them during their daily visit. Another thing travelers should know is that the hotel is located on a steep street. While this might not bother everyone, it can be tiring and inconvenient,especially when carrying bags or walking back after a long day out. The biggest issue for us, though, was the heavy presence of cigarette smoke in and around the hotel. This isn’t the hotel’s fault directly, but it truly affected our stay. It felt like almost everyone smoked, and the smell was noticeable as soon as we stepped outside and even in the lobby at times. For non-smokers or anyone sensitive to smoke, this can make the stay uncomfortable. Overall, the hotel has some good points, but the combination of minor housekeeping issues, the steep location, and the constant smoke in the surroundings meant we didn’t enjoy our stay as much as we had hoped.

The waffles at breakfast were delicious, and the hotel staff were very friendly and helpful.

Very convenient to all locations, metro, train and pier in a walking distance. My son love it very such as he can return to hotel room for a break or nap in the afternoon. Delicious breakfast with varity daily. Nice staff with reasonable good English. Room service and cleaning staff is very helpful and kind.

The room is clean and spacious compared than most hotels in istanbul. It is walking distance to Grand Bazaar. I love the breakfast and the staffs are friendly and accommodating.
