Location is good if you plan to visit Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque and the both Bazars, otherwise it’s too loud. In front of the hotel is the tram line, therefore it’s somehow loud even with the closed windows, the noise from the staircase might be also annoying, due to missing soundproof of the doors. The breakfast is really questionable and has nothing to do with the photos shown, once we’ve tried it, had to look for the breakfast in the cafés nearby.

We stayed at Lalahan hotel for 5 nights. It is located close to the main attractions. A few minutes to Gulhane park and Topkape palace. There are many different shops and restaurants in a few steps. Meto passes the street.If you’re very sensitive to noise, it won’t work for you. I’m a light sleeper, but after a busy day, I could sleep well. Metro was the fastest way of transportation and the station was very close. Staff were very helpful. Turker was very friendly, he let us use his Iatanbul card to ride metro. He called Istanbul airport several times, looking for our lost luggage. Breakfast was very good also.

Awesome place to stay. I want to thank the Housekeeper especially on the fourth floor as she found my shirt after I checked out and was able to return to pick it up ( It was my favorite shirt). Third time staying here. The beds are so comfortable that its easy to sleep thru the mornings. Thanks again 4 a great stay.

The "junior suite" was quite roomy and very comfortable since our room was at the rear if the building, it was actually very quiet at night, despite what I had heard about Istanbul being super noisy. Staff at the Lalahan are very pleasant and helpful Decent choice if you want to be in a convenient location -- easy walk to some of the major attractions such as the Hagia Sophia. Only real drawback is that this walk (and the hotel) is on the road with the tram/streetcar, so you need to be REALLY careful to stay on the sidewalk...

추천하기에는 어려움

방은 깨끗하지만 조금 낡은 편입니다. 구글 리뷰에서 붙어있는 건물에서 영업하는 İlkay Hotel과 방을 바꿔치기 한다는 것을 읽었는데, 똑같은 경험을 당했습니다. 서비스로 방을 넓은 데로 준다고 하면서 더 허름한 방을 주더군요. 컴플레인을 했더니 조금 더 새것으로 보이는 방으로 바꿔주었습니다(원래 예약을 한 랄라한 호텔). 올드 타운이 시끄럽기는 하지만 식당쪽을 바라보는 방은 정말 비추입니다. 밤12시까지 라이브 음악을 연주해서 상당히 불편합니다. 아야소피아, 이집션바자 같은 주요 관광지와는 가깝고 바로 앞에 트램이 지나가서 이동은 편리합니다. 전반적으로 가성비는 안좋은 호텔이고, 조금 걷거나 대중교통을 타도 괜찮으면 신축호텔이 많은 탁심이나 카라쾨이에 묵는 것이 더 좋을 것 같습니다.
