Olimpic Hotel

The location was excellent. The room was good and bed comfortable. The sea views from the balcony were excellent. The owner was very friendly and helpful.

The room is smaller than expected but exceeded my expectations. We had room 309 which had an amazing view, exactly as shown in the presentation pictures. We found the room clean with freshly washed towels and nice soft bedsheets. We have expected some slippers but we found the housekeeping lady which provide us 3 pairs. The receptionists were both very nice but, unfortunately our TV did not worked and none of them has been able to help us with the issue. The balcony is perfect for quiet nights, the view of our room was exactly the one from the picture on the site but , despite the daily cleaning, it was still dirty( due to seagulls and pigeons). Breakfast quite poor but satisfactory and just perfect for a good start of the day( we checked the prices of food, generally in the grocery stores and we realized that as it is so expensive we should be happy there is still a breakfast), the lady serving the breakfast was incredibly nice and humble, greeting us every day with a smile . We did smoked in the balcony!

Our second time in Istanbul, first time in Olimpic Hotel. I can only say good things about the place, and better things about the staff. The receptionists (Ahmed is great, and the blonde lady (I can't remember her name but she's the only lady working in the reception), she's absolutely fantastic, friendly, helpful, etc. My special gratitude to the beautiful lady chef that works so hard every morning to offer the best breakfast and always with a big smile on her face. Thank you so much!❤️ Mansour and Sonia family!

Olimpic is in a perfect central location less than 10 mins walk from the Grand Bazaar and a 2in walk from the main Tram lines. The rooms are okay but the breakfast was really delicious with a variety of traditional Turkish and sufficient Western/European dishes - a really homely provision. The room was clean but fairly basic with a TV, tiny fridge and Air Conditioner. The staff are quite accommodating. There was a very cheap and well-stocked little supermarket (which the locals use as well) right across the street - shop here for essentials!

Samet is an excellent employee at the hotel! He took excellent care of us and our transfer, providing tips on hidden gems and more affordable, better attractions that tourists might miss. He was truly great, and when the neighborhood faced a water outage overnight, he was well-prepared with water canisters to assist immediately. Additionally, he is genuinely personable. The hotel itself is a good choice in terms of value for money. The breakfast was good, and the view during breakfast was stunning, a solid 10/10! If new hairdryers and dishes like Menem are added, the hotel definitely deserves 6/5 stars, making it outstanding in terms of price/performance. The location of the hotel is fantastic, with affordable restaurants open 24/7 in the vicinity. The transfer was seamless; both during pickup and the journey to the airport, the bus was truly luxurious, making you feel like you're in a first-class setting.
