    Breakfast- no choice They make you pay for breakfast, the buffet is hard boiled eggs, and Turkish fingers food. If you don’t like it then you pay for omelet or orange juice.So I didn’t eat. So do not bother including breakfast. Eat out!

    Friendly staffs Cleanliness Right in business place

    The tramway was close to the hotel and they start construction on it from 23.00 till 03.00 in the night you could not be in youre room so much noise. Of course not the hotels fault and they give us a room on other side of the hotel.

    The rooms don’t really look like the pictures, but I may have been in a part of the hotel not yet renovated (There seemed to be 2 sections) I was hardly in the room, so not really an issue.

    The staff were friendly and very helpful. The location is great and I kept finding new things nearby. Breakfast was good, lots of cheese.

    Slightly tired decor upstairs. Lack of bedside table on one side of the bed. Having to get out of bed to turn off the lights. Please help us all preserve water and electricity by not washing our towels every day - if we hang them up it signifies that we are happy to reuse them.

    Its location, its excellent value for money and the helpful staff.

    I booked economy double room (2 separate beds) and when I arrived room I was given was a single bedroom with 1 queen size bed. I was told hotel is full and therefore we were given this room. Next day I requested change of room and while staff reacted promptly they insinuated that I booked room I was given. I ended up getting much bigger apartment (3 bedroom) but it was above street level and was noisy, TV in the room was tiny and placed in the very corner of the room so it was basically unusable and remote didn't function. Room was not cleaned daily although I went to the reception desk and asked for it.

    Locqtion of the hotel is excellent. Easy access to tram line and marmaray. Breakfast was great. Staff friendly and polite. All staff wears masks and disinfectants are placed inside the hotel in multiple locations. Staff reminds guests frequently of necessity of wearing masks if observing someone not following these safety guidelines.

    I rested for several days at the hotel. Good location, cozy, clean hotel, cleaning every day, helpful staff, manager Mehmet helps in all matters, many thanks to him for this. Excellent breakfast, fruits, pastries, sweets, cheeses, desserts, delicious coffee. The veranda offers a beautiful view of the bay. I recommend it for both families and romantic couples.

    The restaurant was closed. It would have been nice to try the food! WiFi in the room was also not great.

    Mehmet and his team were excellent. They took care of us the entire stay from beginning to end. Mehmet was extremely helpful in recommending tours and restaurants. The thing I appreciated the most was that he looked after my mom when she got there early and was waiting for her room. They went to every length to look after her and make her comfortable. I will definitely recommend Hotel Ipek Palas to friends and family. It also had an excellent location and we could walk to all the attractions we wanted to see.
