Neorion Hotel - Special Class

The hotel is in a superb location within walking distance of most of the main sights (Blue Mosque, Topkapi Castle, Bazaars etc). The staff are really helpful and nice and the sauna pool area is very nice for a small one (even if not top class)

We are frequent visitors to Istanbul and decided to try Neorion based on the fact that we wanted to stay in Sultanahmet area this time round and also on the reviews. I have no hesitation in saying that all the excellent reviews were spot on. The facility itself is located wonderfully with many restaurants and pubs within 50 to 100 meters. It is also located within walking distance to the major attractions. It is right behind the tram station and within 100 meters of the underground metro station. The spa is exceptional. Use of hot water therapy tub, sauna, and swimming pool is free. It has an amazing roof top restaurant with excellent views of the Bosphorus and amazing food. The breakfast spread in the restaurant in the lobby area is outstanding. We booked an accommodation with two bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. It was fully equipped with a small but nice balcony. But the best part of the hotel, as testified by other reviewers, is the fantastic staff who went out of their way to assist and guide us with anything we asked for. They also gave us a travel card which we just had to top up at tram or metro stations. We highly recommend this hotel. It will definitely be our regular stop everytime we transit through Istanbul (we always plan for a layover of a couple of days at least in this magnificent city). Can't ask for anything better, frankly. Full value for money, and more!

The staff were savvy with English, emotionally intelligent, ethical, and very focused on the quality of their guest’s (Misafir) experience. From the time you arrive, they are offering you Fresh Turkish coffee or refreshing drink and authentic Turkish delight to hailing your cab and negotiating your comfortable (service and $ to your next stop), when you leave. The location was excellent for walking to the grand sites and a short cab distance to the cruise terminal. Not awkward for cabs from (IST) either. Great hospitality, convenient location, quiet room with excellent beds, lovely breakfast - so delighted with our choice of Neorion Hotel Istanbul. Will never stay anywhere else.

I loved this hotel! Istanbul is crowded and chaotic so it’s important to have somewhere relaxing to come back to. The staff were great, approachable and friendly and recommended transport, tours and local places to eat. The breakfast buffet was superb, one of the best I’ve found. There is a small hamam in the hotel which unfortunately I never got around to experiencing. There is a bustling rooftop restaurant with views to have a drink.There is a touristy eat street over the road where you can get a decent inexpensive meal if you know where to go. Location is walking distance from Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sofia, markets, etc.

We have absolutely loved our stay in Istanbul (gorgeous city so rich in culture) and felt at home at Neorion hotel! The best is the location of the hotel - you can reach all of the main attractions by foot in short distance, some others easily by tram, the neighbourhood felt safe and we didn't have a slightest issue. The hotel itself is very cozy, the rooms have spacious layout and styled decor. Small touches such as daily refill of bottled water, sweets, etc. made us feel happy. The staff is fantastic! Friendly, welcoming, helpful, professional. Our rooms were perfectly made up every day. Breakfast had a variety of warm dishes and nice pastry, excellent coffee, again all of the staff was outstanding! At the top of the hotel there is a great restaurant (doesn't belong to the hotel but super convenient) and a terasse with an amazing view. Our rooms were located at the 5th floor and were quiet. There is also a spa where you could book a massage or a hammam treatment. Overall, very happy with our stay and we would recommend the hotel to anyone staying in Istanbul!
