I just had the most wonderful week-long stay at Rayelin Hotel Old Town in Istanbul! The service was fantastic, the room was impeccably clean (thank you so much samira), and the food was delicious. But what truly made the experience exceptional was the staff. Nesrin, Kenan, and Soha (sorry for those I didn't catch your names) were incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to make sure I had a wonderful stay. They are a real asset to your hotel! Thank you again for a perfect week in Istanbul!

The hotel's location is excellent—everything you need is nearby. There are many cafes and restaurants around, as well as a pharmacy. The metro entrance is right at the hotel, making it very convenient to get around the city. There are also public transport stops and the Historia shopping mall nearby. The breakfasts are very good and varied, with options for every taste. The staff is extremely friendly and attentive, especially Nesrin, who are always ready to help and do everything possible to ensure guests' comfort. The hotel is new and modern, which is a pleasant surprise. The bed linens are changed daily, maintaining a high level of cleanliness (thank you, Maleyka). The rooms are always clean and spacious, just like in the photos. Thank you for the excellent service and a pleasant stay!

Rayelin Hotel offers a clean, serene atmosphere with a cool ambiance and a delightful fragrance throughout the property. The hospitality is exceptional, making guests feel at home with their warm and attentive service. It's an ideal place for a relaxing and comfortable stay. Highly recommended. The staff truly stood out, with Manager Mehmet ensuring everything ran smoothly, Nesrin at the reception being incredibly welcoming, and Kenan, the waiter, providing excellent service. Their hospitality made my stay even more enjoyable. The hotel itself is reliable and comfortable, with all essential amenities in perfect working order.

I liked almost everything about Rayelin Hotel. The elevators are reliable, and all essential amenities like warm water, AC, and a fridge worked perfectly. Plus, you don’t need to worry about carrying extras like hairdryers. It's a hassle-free and comfortable stay.

We stayed at this newly built hotel, and overall, we were very pleased with our choice. The hotel is very clean and well-maintained, especially considering that it’s recently refurbished. The rooms were cleaned and tidied up every day, and all shared areas were immaculately kept. We stayed in room 503 and had a decent internet connection (D:20/U:20). Additionally, upon request, they provided a crib for our 10-month-old baby. The crib was spacious and comfortable and fit perfectly next to our double bed. The mattress on the double bed was very comfortable, and the room had two sets of pillows—one higher and one lower—so we could choose what suited us best. The small kitchenette in the room was very practical and fully functional, which was very helpful during our stay. The hotel staff was friendly and always available, and we would especially like to thank the manager, Mehmet and his colleague Nasrin for fulfilling every request we had and assisting us with any questions. We also highly recommend using the hotel’s transport service. It was affordable, comfortable, and safe. The driver was very attentive and did not drive aggressively like many other city taxi drivers. The breakfast at the hotel was varied and tasty, with options that catered to our needs, and there was even a high chair available in the restaurant. Although the hotel doesn’t offer lunch or dinner, there are at least a dozen local restaurants within a 2-minute walk, all of which offer "eat out" options. The hotel also allows guests to bring food and drinks into their rooms, which is an added bonus. The hotel's location is very well connected to public transport. Within a 10-minute walk, you can reach all major transport stations (bus, tram, metro), making it easy to get around the city.

There were a couple of small issues that could be improved. Our room (503) had a slight problem with ventilation, as every morning, the living area smelled of cooking. This was probably due to the ventilation system pulling in smells from the kitchen area. It wasn’t a major issue, and we solved it by opening the window before bed. Additionally, the high chair in the restaurant was often occupied, so it would be a good idea to have another one as a backup. Something like foldable plastic high chairs that don’t take up much space and could be used when necessary. Despite these minor inconveniences, our stay at the hotel was very enjoyable, and we would definitely recommend it to other families, especially those with young children.

Reception staff Nesrin has been very coordinating and helpful followed by Erhan the, he has been a good assistant in getting us taxi and coordinated well The place is good and accessible to all the locations thru metro n tram which was a good benefit for us, the area is full of shops and make the shopping easier for some choice of clothes

The breakfast was limited n good however the place for breakfast was not satisfactory it's in the basement n a little compact compared to its size,I recommend the hotel to change the place of breakfast so that the persons can sit comfortably and eat

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The room was spotless, and I want to give special thanks to the manager, Muhamed, who contacted me in advance and started solving any issues I had even before my trip. The rest of the staff was also amazing, helping with things like my transfer, providing food at night, storing my luggage, and answering all my travel-related questions. Breakfast was included, and it was enough to meet all my needs (I especially enjoyed the mini sandwiches and the green salad with corn). The location was excellent since it made it super easy to reach the main attractions. I went on two excursions, and unlike most people, I was picked up for free thanks to the hotel’s convenient location. Thank you so much to the staff for creating a worry-free environment, where all I had to do was relax. P.S. Be sure to try the pastries at the bar on the first floor, especially the spinach buns and the striped cookies with chocolate filling – they’re delicious!

Everything was wonderful

The hotel is relatively small, but modern. It's location is excellent and close to transportation for easy access to attractions. The old town neighborhood is a great area to stay in Istanbul. The staff are wonderful, especially Akin and Nasreen at the reception are so friendly and helpful. The manager, Mehmet treated us just like family. We would love to come back.

The cleanliness and modern look of the place. The wonderful reception staff. We got connecting rooms with city view, which was very nice.

- Excellent value for money - Friendly and helpful staff - Freshly cooked and tasty breakfast with a huge amount of variety. - New and very clean facilities, all designed and built to a very high quality. - Black out curtains blocked noise and all light from outside, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep. - Tastefully decorated and smelled amazing - Walking distance to bus stops, tram stations, and the metro. - Close to brilliant restaurants which are open 24 hrs. Will definitely be staying again when visiting Istanbul!
