Hotel May came with a package tour we bought. Would not have been my first choice, but turned our to be a well-run business. The staff is very friend and helpful. Their English is limited. Rooms are small but well equipped. If you are a light sleeper take earplugs along, Mosque close by! Breakfast is typical Turkish. Located in a... More

We were a party of 8. We arrived very early in the morning (6:30am). The staff were very friendly and accommodating - allowed us to change and freshen up downstairs, eat breakfast and leave our luggage in the lobby until we could check in after midday. Yes, the rooms are tiny, we were in room 404 with a small balcony... More

Have just come back from Istanbul where we stayed at the May Hotel. Would definitely recommend the hotel. Staff were very helpful and friendly. The location was great - a 10 minute walk to Grand Bazaar and the Kumkapi restaurants about a 5 min walk away. The standard room was small but had aircon and was very clean. Breakfasts were... More

The May hotel is very clean, nearby all historic highlights. Very friendly staff. The rooms are small, but you only sleep there, so it is ok. We have visited the city for 5 days with our family, too short to see everything. We will shure come back.

This hotel is very clean and the staff are very helpful and friendly. It is in a very convenient location within a very interesting district. It is close to the tram and tourist sites. The rooms are small but serviceable although the shower is small even for the smallest person. We had visited Istanbul before so this visit we went... More

The Hotel is located in the Shoe and Purse making district and you can get a glimpse of the manufacturing of shoe and purses: from watching the bundles of goods going up and down the narrow streets on hand...

Having read all the reviews I was very pleasantly surprised at the value for money that this Hotel provided. Firstly, the Hotel is at the bottom of a steepish hill but I am wondering what kind of "out of condition" guests have stayed here! I am 64 and my husband is 79 years old and we had NO problem walking... More

Stayed at this hotel from the 25th Feb to 1st March 2013 on our short trip to Istanbul. The hotel is ideally located.... 10 min walk to the Grand Bazzaar, 15 mins walk to The Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia and 20 Mins to the Topkapi Palace. The hotel itself is situated on a busy street and is easy to... More
