I have been to istanbul before and have stayed in sultan Ahmet side, which is a great location to move around. This was the 1st time we chose Euro Design & to my surprise, the metro station was to the left of the hotel literally at our doorstep. From our location it was better accessible to the Food Street, which was literally 20 sec from the hotel.. The food Street had some famous resturants Eg...Shahzade (for lamb skewers), a pede shop & the whole lane is full of resturants, offering a wide selection of tasty Turkish foods. A couple of minutes walk, and we had the tram station Serkeci. From there one can see the bosforus and a few minutes walk would take us to Eminönü ferry station, which either one can take ferry for the tour of the Bosphorus or go to the Asian side, or roam around or sit and enjoy the hussle and bussle around the ferry port. There are numerous of resturants around the port that one can go to, but we went to the ones that were tested and had good reviews. From Eminönü we walked to the Galata Tower, with a steep uphill climb to the tower base.. which had loads of cafes & not to forget, the best san sabestian chocolate cheese cake (to die for) with refreshing lemonades and my favourite the affagato coffee. From Sirkeci tram station one could go to sultan ahmet (2 stops) with the square having the famous hagia sophia mosque and further 2 stations from there, one could visit the famous Grand Bazar @Byazet station. To be accessible one needs to choose the right location and Euro Design was located at the right spot, which saved us time, effort & to be near all the locations we wanted to visit. I highly recommend it for its location, value for money, hospitable staff and manager as well as Mr Nurettin who was friendly and assisted us with directions. I thank everyone who played their part in making our stay a pleasant and a memorable one. Would definitely give a 5* and would highly recommend.

No 3 pin (U.K.) Plug socket and only one socket at bedside .. need to have more so one can plug chargers in.... Also need muslim shower in the toilet.... One has to carry the 2 pin converter as 2 pin plugs are standard in hotels in Turkey

I had read many (almost all) the reviews on booking.com about Euro Design Hotel and we were a bit apprehensive. Some people complained about noise between rooms, some complained about the rooms not having proper bed linen and lots complained about the breakfast. But I'm here to BUST the myths. Firstly: The staff are exceptional. They genuinely go out of their way to assist you with regard to any and everything. I have to mention Bekir (even managed to order us fresh gözleme to our room and always assisted us in a helpful and friendly manner), Mert, Engin and Yusuf. Always greeted us with smiles (even if we passed by the reception desk 5 times a day) , always paid attention to our children and were never irritated with our many questions. Yusuf always their to lend a helping hand and another gentleman whose name I cannot remember as well. I emailed the hotel a few days before to let them know we were arriving on my husband's birthday and asked if they could do something special. They decked out our room with flowers and balloons, the next morning at breakfast the chef personally came to our table with a beautiful fruit Platter to wish my husband a happy birthday. We really really appreciate the service and attention to detail. I cannot forget to mention Fatima Abla and Saaniya Abla, the 2 ladies who helped keep our room clean during the duration of our stay. They always knocked and waited for a response before entering the room and they always greeted with a pleasant smile and attitude (even the days I requested a a few more minutes before they began cleaning they never got annoyed). Secondly; With regards to the room- we stayed on level 5 in room 505 which is the deluxe family room. We were 2 adults and 3 kids (18 months, 6 and 8 Years old). The room was big enough for all of us and they even brought a cot for my infant. We could not hear noise from the rooms around us.

I wish the pillows and beds were a bit more comfortable. I also wish the shower door closed properly so water didn't leak out the door when showering.

Best thing about this hotel is location because majority of important things to visit is on walk distance and it is also well connected by public transport because close by is T1 line and boats to cross the Bosphorus so you can easily get to anything you want to visit. All around the hotel you have shops and restaurants. Breakfast is very good, bed was comfortable, there is fridge of decent size where you get two waters for free so no mini bar but next to the hotel you have mini shop for drinks where you can buy anything you need and then put it in the fridge, there is kettle and you get some coffee and tea, they were changing towels every day ...

If you want quiet place this is not it but you need to sacrifice this for good location to explore the city, a bit bigger trash can in the room would be great, a bit more options for the breakfast would be nice.

Amazing location! Can walk to Sofia Mosque and old city within minutes. The breakfast was also great too. All the staff including Engin and Ibad went the extra mile to make our stay amazing.

I had to login into the wife account every few hours to get access.

The staff were very kind and helpful. We booked many activities with the hotel and the price was very reasonable. The breakfast was very tasty. The catering staff were very considerate when we took breakfast to our room for our elderly grandad. The location was the best! All the main attraction was in a walking distance from the hotel and there were many food places in the same street as well as many ATM's to withdraw local cash using an international debit card without a fee! I would definitely book this hotel again on my next visit!

The hotel location was good and I like the staff. They were kind to us specially Mr Irfan and Murad and office boy Faizal. I would like to thank each one of them and inshallah wpuld. Like to stay again in this hotel for our next stay. Just want to add one thing about breakfast not much variety of food. Thanks Fatma Alyaas

Breakfast

Location is absolutely superb. ~10 min to Topkapi as well as to Grand bazaar. Condition of the hotel is very good. Breakfast - brilliant, service excellent.

Window soundproofing (Our room was on the 5th floor (no.501)). At night it was very loud due to aircon outside (tip to the management - to replace window).

We liked this hotel a lot. It's situated at the quiet end of Ankara road just a 10 minute walk from Hagia Sophie, Topkapi Palace and the Blue Mosque. The tram, for further exploring, is only 50 metres away. The hotel is fairly new, the beds soft and comfortable. Rooms are cleaned and beds made daily when you stay longer. The staff is friendly and will help you with booking taxi's and tours. Our boating tour they arranged was of good quality. The breakfast varies per day. In the weekend I found a few more, luxurious sweets. Every day you'll find an assortment of cheeses and different yoghurts. For extra money they'll also make you a fresh omelette. The location is fairly quiet at night, if you like to sleep with windows open. We stayed there for 5 nights and can recommend it.

One of the best places I've ever stayed. The staff (no exception) was friendly, kind, helpful and outstanding, the room (deluxe double) was big, absolutely clean, comfortable and had a good sound isolation. Great shower in a spacious bathroom. The hotel its very clean! Breakfast is really good, good variety of food and some things were changed daily. Best location, great area, close to absolutely everything. My partner and I only used public transport to go to the north side (still possible to do by walking) and the Asian side, but to visit the old town is completely unnecessary due to the proximity to it. A big thanks to the great staff, we spent a really good time there! Teşekkür ederim

It wasn't a huge problem for us but there is no ironing facilities, that would have helped considering our long stay. But still, an amazing place to stay!

Central location, just outside there’s a metro station. The hotel was very clean and the rooms very comfortable. Breakfast was great. The staff were very helpful and friendly. I would definitely stay again.

Nothing to point out.
