Istanbul Hotels Gids - Strandhotel hotels in Istanbul, Turkije

I have been staying in this hotel for 9 nights in a very comfortable suite. All staff were very friendly and cooperative. this hotel is very close to carrefour supermarket (3 min) walking; you can shop for various types of food and other things. The suite is very spacious and equipped with a jacuzzi bathtub and a wide tv screen.

We stayed at the Sur Hotel for 6 days after walking in and being impressed with the friendliness of the reception staff and price for the excellent location right in the heart of old Istanbul. We tend to have to travel on a budget and we don't worry too much about having all the mod cons. Having said that, the Sur Hotel had all (and more) than we required. The room (with bathroom) was a nice size with a balcony on to the street side, internet and heating were included and the staff went out of their way to make sure we had everything we asked for. The breakfast (also included in the prize), was fresh and plentiful and my coffee cup was constantly filled as soon as i had finished my previous cup. I think the staff are what made the stay extra nice, from recommending places to go, giving tips about the local customs, lending us umbrellas, power cords, games, etc and even talking to taxi drivers to ensure we got back to the hotel for the correct prize and without fuss when needed. So thankyou to Ozgur and his great team - we'd certainly be happy to stay at the Sur Hotel again.

We were rather pleasantly surprised by this hotel. I had read some less than positive reviews and I'm not sure what people expect for the money. The suite we had was spacious and clean, the hotel staff was helpful, the breakfast was very good, and the location was fabulous. We were traveling as a family with two teenagers. It was nice that they had their separate room. We had a view of the blue mosque from our bedroom window and the view of the Bosphorus and blue mosque from the top floor of the hotel (where breakfast was served) was stunning. The only negative was that taxi drivers were often confused by the address and were not familiar with the hotel.....so make sure to bring their business card when going out.
