    The breakfast could be with more options, it could be fresh coffee. It was an unpleasant surprise that there were no shampoo and conditioner, but like a body gel 3in1, and also it would be nice to have some cotton pads.

    The location of the property is very convenient, close to the port, the castle and the grand bazaar. The room was a bit small, but as you don't plan to stay in the room but to walk, it's okay. Breakfast was not to my taste, but it still had all the standard things.

    There are two buildings; one is Raymond Hotel and the other is Raymond Blue Hotel, in Raymond Blue the rooms on Booking look completely different and I booked here, but got a room in Raymond Hotel, when I asked the stuff about this why our room looks different than on the pictures (our room looked older than the pictures and completely different bathroom, decoration, size) they said it is because the rooms got recently renovated, which is little bit hard to believe, since the decoration in our room was damaged and the room didn't look new at all. The breakfast was very average.

    The location was perfect, very central, and public transportation options very near, the room was clean, very kind, helpful stuff, the rooftop restaurant is a must!

    The rooms were really small and they did not have two-person rooms with separate beds available so we slept on king-sized beds. If you are coming just to sleep over, it should not be a problem.

    The location is superb, Gulhane tram station is just a few steps from the hotel and Marmaray as well. You can easily walk to Eminonu or Sultanahmed. The breakfast is also very nice, fresh, and tasty.

    Since we came to see the sights of Istanbul, I will not lower the rating for the view from the window, shabby walls and other things.

    The location is super (in the historical center, within walking distance to Topkapi Palace). All hotel staff are very friendly and helpful! At breakfast, although it is a bit cramped in a small room, there is a feeling of a family hearth: everything is enough and tasty. The room is clean. Thank you! Good luck in the future and all the best.

    tourists trap, expensive food. Turkiye stop catering and quoting in Euro. not everyone holds euro. stop the overpricing including tickets. make Turkiye affordable pls.

    great location, 5 minutes walk to Gulhane train, 15 minutes walk to Topkapi, Aya Sofia, Sultanahmet Mosque, Basilica Cistern, and another 10 minutes to Nur Muhammad, an authentic Malay/Malaysian restaurant. surrounded by shops and restaurants. lovely place.

    The rooms are a little on the smaller side, but honestly it wasn’t a big issue at all. The location and helpfulness of the staff made everything better.

    Raymond Blue Hotel is in the bustling hub of old Istanbul. I was able to get to any major tourist attraction within a few minutes (5 minute walk to Topkapi, 7 minute walk to Hagia Sofia and 30 mins walk at the latest to get to Galata tower). The staff are incredibly helpful no matter the time of day, thank you so much for making my stay so amazing!
