i will Always stay in Buyuk Keban

I don't think I can stay in any hotel in Istanbul than Buyuk Keban, the metainance of the hotel when I was there in 2014 is still the same. The Receptionist and Concierge are always ready to help you. Neighbourhood is safe you can walk anytime at Night. The main reason why I liked Buyuk Keban is because of the Neatness and the Environment no odour like most hotel in Istanbul if is not 4 or 5 Star.

Perfect for a family

I loved everything about this hotel. If you are traveling with 2 kids like us, it was perfect. One bedroom with twin beds for the kids and a separate bedroom with a queen bed for a couple. Quite street in a safe area.

Happy with hotel

Staff service was always friendly and helpful. We arrived on an early morning flight, and although we were 6 hours earlier than check-in time they gave us the room we wanted and invited us to have breakfast. Rooms are small but adequate. The daily mopping of the room floor (uncarpeted) could have been better, otherwise the room was cleaned and towels changed daily. We enjoyed the salads and breads breakfast. Location is only 15 min walk from an easy Metro ride from the airport, and virtually on the tram route through the old town. We have used this hotel before, and would stay there again.

Clean, large room, hot breakfast, near the sites

Hotel Buyuk Keban was a very clean and modern hotel. The rooms were decent sized. The breakfast was decent offering an assortment of items including scrambled eggs and pancakes which is rare in Europe. The hotel is located within a 10-15 min walk to the bazaar and Metro that will bring you to/from the IST airport. The major mosques/palace are within a 30 min walk or 4 tram stops away (which is located at the bottom of the hill, maybe 5 mins). Overall the stay was enjoyable.

Good location for a hotel, very near Sultanamet.

Small rooms but well cleaned everyday. Some guests were a bit noisy during our stay and doors were keep shutting and opening every now and again till past midnight. I just wish people should observe silence after at least 10:30 pm. Most of occupants go out during the day to see many attractions so a bit courtesy is appreciated. Breakfast is also very well served, but I wish the staff would smile a bit and greet their customers. It Would be really nice if someone says "good morning" and will be replied back. It would be nice if the "No Smoking" policy will be respected, our room was near the exit stairs and it seems some occupants or staff goes to smoke there, the smell of the smoke comes to our room thru the door gap. I really like the location of the hotel,thou not really near the main tourist attractions but a walking distance to the tram, metro stations..many surrounding restaurants. Traffic, a bit chaotic thou, It seems there is no respect given to traffic lights, no enough parking. Noticed drivers just reversing anywhere and everywhere. Too much cigarette butts on the streets,would have been nice if trash can be used and well provided.. And if staff or customers smokes by the door, the main door should be closed to ensure that other people who are in the lobby specially the children will at least be protected. Overall, our stay was good..Istanbul is a very beautiful and vibrant city we hope to see it again sometime..

Decent Hotel, nothing special

The hotel room was clean and the cleaners were brilliant, although they didn't communicate in English well. The location of the hotel was decent, next door to a masjid and very close to the Sehzade mosque. There was a massage chair on every floor (cost 1TL for 4 mins) which was quite nice. The tram station was a 5 minute walk away and served all the main attractions of the old city. The hotel itself is very basic and the spa was closed the two times I wanted to use it so that was quite dissapointing, the reason given was that the guy who runs it wasn't there. Overall it served as a decent cheap hotel which was a good base to visit Istanbul from, but nothing special.
