Nice new hotel with friendly staff. Only downfall is the restaurant/breakfast area is on the top floor. 7am chairs starts being dragged in an out of tables constantly for hours. If you are on the top two floors be ready to be awoken early.

The hotel is new and is very clean, however it does not live up to the way it is presented ion the internet. It is a family run business and only one of them spoke some English and he tried to be cooperative. The breakfast was acceptable but it was the same every day and so was the quality. Aside from Emin the servers at breakfast were not cooperative and grumbling. The worst part was the area which turned out to be the industrial sector of the city, it was overcrowded and congested with cars, however there’s a bustling Main Street not far from the hotel.

A good choice in old Istanbul

It's a family run new hotel în the very crowded commercial and touristic area of once historical Constantinopole, close to metro station of Yenikapi, close to T1 tram, walking distance (20-30') to the ferry and the touristic attractions. And surrounded by shops. The hotel îs very clean.The rooom has good amenities ( channel tv, wifi, air condition, kettle, fridge, bottles of water every day). The breakfast îs basic, fresh, served on the top terrace when fine weather - It could be improved ( fruits, yoghurt for example), also the service could be improved - sometimes, a plate has no pie, or no salamy, or no cheese, because of the rush. They correct this instantly, after beeing noticed, with polite apologize. One morning, at 7:40h, the terrace wasn't ready for serving breakfast and three tourists were waiting the tables to be arranged and cleaned. If you open the room's door and keep it longer open, a disturbing ( for the tourists from the other rooms) alarm keeps you company, maybe you react properly and close your door promptly. When this happens în the middle of the night , îs ruining others sleep. The check-in starts at noon, the check-out is at 12:30h, this aspect îs a plus, in my opinion. It's a good hotel, if you look for a clean bed to rest, în the middle of the action. If you want to be pampered, you obviously have to pay much more and go to the Ritz.

Great experience!

Wonderful staff! Very nice and helpful. We had a big issue when booking though a website and we were very stressed, but the staff, Firat was his name, calmed us down and helped us solve it in no time! Emin Palace is located very close to a lot of interesting tourist attractions, restaurants, bazaars and stores. It was easy to find your way around. The rooms were clean and even though we booked last minute, everything was greatly prepared for us when we arrived. Breakfast was also included! All in all, Emin Palace Hotel is a great hotel to stay at.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The sheets had stains and the room had a sewer smell. The location was very close to most attractions however the street is packed with vendors that it literally felt like you were in the middle of a bazaar. It just was not ideal. Also hotel tried to force us to pay cash instead of by card by telling us the system is down don’t fall for it it’s not and just insist on paying with a card it works.

Déçue

Hôtel situé dans quartier animé dans le vieux Istanbul, beaucoup de restaurants autour, proche des bus,métro taxi et tram. A l arrivée nous avons changé de chambre car la porte de l armoire était cassée le jeune homme qui nous a accueilli était très agréable( c était le seul) on avait payer pour une grande chambre on a eu une petite, on s en est aperçu après L hôtel est neuf de 3 mois mais il manque quelques ajustements. Le petit déjeuner, c est une assiette toute prête de nourriture salée avec du pain, beurre sur une terrasse parmi les mouettes et leur fientes on a renoncé à prendre leur petit déjeuner Wifi pas super, il s arrêtais souvent et quand on aller leur demander de nous le remettre, ils faisait la tronche!!
