The Joyway Hotel offers reasonably priced and sizeable rooms with views of the sea and the daily tourist activity in Sultanahmet. Although it’s a walkable distance to the historical attractions, shopping and restaurants, the hotel is rather quiet and tranquil at night. The rooftop restaurant is very good and is a great place to relax and enjoy the beautiful views of the Bosphorus. The staff were very friendly and took care of all our needs and requests. We would certainly consider another stay at Joyway if we return to Istanbul again.

The hotel was in a great location, very close to Hagia Sophia and the Blue mosque (2-4 mins) , with a short walk (10 mins) to the tram/ferry terminals. Staff were welcoming and nice. However, they didn't have our room available on arrival, so we were given a family room for the first night. We were then given our respective rooms the next day, but one of them wasn't what we had paid for with a sea view, which was disappointing and smaller. The rooms were clean, with good facilities. Cleaning staff were lovely and very accomodating. Breakfast was served at a restaurant about a minute's walk from the hotel. The food was good, with a generous variety to choose from.

Comfortable and affordable Hotel in Istanbul

We stay 3 nights at this hotel, located exactly in the center of Istanbul old city, only walking distance to Hagia Sofia, blue mosque and topkapi palace, surrounded by many original turkish restaurants and foodmarts. The hotel is very clean and comfortable, supported by a helpful and kind staffs. The breakfast was awesome, even only traditional turkish style breakfast, we had an enjoyable morning breakfast with stunning view to the bosphorus strait. Here I am attaching one of my selfie photo on the balcony adjacent to the restaurant. One most important thing is the hotel has an affordable and competitive price👍👍👍

All in all it was a good stay. The room was clean and as shown in the picture. It was just a bit loud in the morning as all the taxis and busses arrive right in front of the hotel for Hagia Sophia. The room was tiny so we weren’t able to open any suitcases in full.

First of all we booked a king bed with sea view, what we got was a double bed that was on the floor pushed up against the wall, with a comforter that was a twin size in like less then a hundred square feet, it was nothing like the picture that they showed. No wash cloths and one hand towel. And it was directly under rooftop restaurant, and everytime someone push a chair in or out we heard screeching till 3 am, which was supposed to close at midnight. The location was fantastic, the staff was nice, we did have a meal in the rooftop restaurant and was wonderful.

The location and the staff are excellent. But room cleaning isn’t as good. only one female staff at breakfast in No.3 is looking at guests and talking in her language, almost like making fun or laughing about them, wasn’t nice to see. But apart from her every other staff from reception to restaurants are extremely kind and helpful. Breakfast options are very limited - this was meant to be our highlight, hence we chose a 4* hotel, we’ve stayed in other 4* close by with amazing breakfast options. lots of flies everywhere, air con not working, cat coming in dirty- apart from Breakfast options and area the hotel is good.
