The Raymond has excellent rooms in a super convenient location. All the major old city destinations are a 5 minute walk away. The staff were the nicest people we met in the whole city. The breakfast was so good and well stocked every morning. The cats that live on this street are really friendly too :)

The room that we had was very tight and not spacious at all. The value was not great for what we paid (though other rooms might be more spacious). We came in April and the Air Conditioning unit was only heating, no cooling. The staff were very friendly and helpful!

Super nice nice, strategic location

This hotel is in the middle of the attractions and main shopping districts, all within minutes of walking. More important is the staff friendlyness. I needed to put things in the freezer, and the receptionists and support staff were all very helpful with our needs. Breakfast is varied and healthy. Very happy with our stay here.

First of all the location is great, it is so easy and convenient to go and see all the attractions. And the room is clean and the breakfast is great. The staff is great and very nice. The only one minor issue is the power outlet above the desk in the bedroom doesn’t have power, so we have to use the one at lower place on the wall and sometimes had to sit down on the floor. Hope the power outlet can be repaired.

El hotel está muy bien ubicado, el personal muy agradables y atentos, la habitacion regular, el tapiz del cabecero de la cama muy sucio, la griferia del baño muy antigua y mal funcionamiento, el inodoro muy viejo, aunque estaba limpio, no daba la sensacion de limpieza, las toallas tambien muy viejas, y lo peor de todo, había cucarachas, mala experiencia de habitacion, en las fotos parece mas amplia y nueva, pero todo es viejo y mal consevado, puertas de armario sin tirador, perta de minibar rota sin cristal, para mi es un 2 estrellas como mucho y por el precio que pagué, no es lo que esperaba. Muy decepcionado.

Le service de chambre est impeccable : la chambre était toujours propre et bien entretenue tout au long du séjour. Le personnel est présent, attentionné et à l’écoute de nos besoins. La chambre est un peu étroite, mais on s’y sent très à l’aise. L’hôtel est calme, ce qui permet de bien se reposer après une journée de visites. La localisation est parfaite : à quelques minutes à pied des principaux monuments historiques, à 2 minutes d’un arrêt de tram T1 pour explorer le reste d’Istanbul. Le petit-déjeuner pourrait être amélioré, notamment la qualité des viennoiseries, mais cela reste correct pour bien commencer la journée.
