My mother and I were visiting Turkey from Ireland and needed a hotel in Istanbul for a few nights. It was difficult to make a choice as there are so many hotels and reviews. I booked the Grand Washington as many of the hotels in Sultnhamnet were either ridicously overpriced and masquerading as boutique ottoman mansions. The Grand Washington was... More

The hotel is in a very convenient position: close to the Grand Bazar and to the tramway which takes you to the city center. Other than that there is plenty of room for improvement: breakfast was terrible!It is a "Russian tailored" breakfast that has nothing to do with a regular continental breakfast. I.E. no fresh fruits or sweets, cakes. Also... More

Breakfast was good except we couldn't... More

This hotel is located some 10-15 min. walking distance from the Grand Bazaar. The neighborhood is safe to walk around, even in the late night hours.

I found the staff helpful and they even taught me a bit of the history and language! We hope to return... More

Stayed here in January 13, hotel seemed to have had a lot of money spent on it, we had a gorgeous bedroom! The hotel is ideally located for exploring the beautiful city! Staff were extremely friendly and brekkie was good!

Everybody there is kind, it is located near the center of the city (everywhere you can go by foot or you take the tram). You can take your breakfast (really tastefull) or dinner or coffe on the terrace with the... More
