Yalova Holidays

The buffet for breakfast was fantastic every morning. Unfortunately the a la carte menu was awful. You cannot call it "a la carte". It was extremely limited and you could tell the food was from frozen. Hardly any choice. But the staff were extremely polite and helpful. I enjoyed my stay here thoroughly and would think of coming again if the a la carte menu is improved.

The room was clean and very comfortable. The breakfast was substantial and had lots of variety. The staff were pleasant and helpful.

Employees are super nice and respectful.

Overall I would rate the hotel as a 3 star not a 4 star hotel. It was very convenient to Istanbul attractions. We walked to the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sofia Mosque in a 15 minute uphill walk. It was entirely safe except for the Turkish rug salesmen around the mosques. The calls for prayer were loud, but this is all over the city. We also walked to the Basilica cistern, Grand Bazaar, Spice Bazaar and Galata Bridge and Tower on easy walks. I feel that the hotels location is its biggest asset. There are a large number of restaurants and nightlife immediately adjacent to the hotel. We had 2 free nights from Turkish Airlines and added 2 additional nights for a total of 4. The breakfast was good and we ate dinner in the hotel restaurant 2 nights. I would definitely stay there again. Istanbul is a lively vibrant city.

Very good and clean
