We live in Istanbul but needed a hotel some guests to stay in. We chose Hotel Villa Zurich because it was close to our place. We went a few times to inquire into a room, and each time the service was not good at all (ex., waiting 15-30 minutes while the manager spoke on the phone, was rudely spoken to... More

I am writing this review whilst in the hotel still, using their wi-fi, because I am that furious. My friend and I arrived yesterday-- the entire lobby was being renovated and was a disaster-- men drilling and welding, ladders, dust etc. (I understand places need to renovate- but why not temporarily shut down etc) The 'reception' was a woman at...

Stayed here with a group of friends for 3 nights- we had 5 rooms in total. Only one of our party was semi-satisfied with his room, the rest of us weren't. The hotel is very loud- street noise, air-conditioner noise and especially the bar on the roof which was open till at least 3am! There were many other problems besides... More

I just came from one week stay there with my wife, my brother and sister. Me and my wife stayed in a room with a double bed , the room was clean and well decorated but the bed it self is very small it’s about 140 cm & the room it self was small for one week stay, the other... More

I have stayed at Villa Zurich several times but I must admit that I have mixed feelings about this hotel. It's great in terms of location, just off the touristy Taxim square, but other than that nothing special. It used to be a great choice in the past years--good location and great value--but not anymore. You can find other hotels... More

The rooms were clean and did not smell at all. We had a corner, front room with a very nice view of the street, of cafes and of the water. The cab ride was 15 minutes to the historical sites. The cost was about 20 Turkish lira to travel to the sites. The patrons at cafes were in their 30's... More

I do not recommend this hotel especially for people with sensitive nose. There was a bad smell in the room and it was very noisy because of the old ventilation system. The room was so small and didn't even have a window. When I went to complain in the morning, another woman was trying desperatly to change her room for... More

Great things about this small Istanbul hotel are: - good location (you can walk to the main shopping street and there are plenty of restaurants, bars and nightlife spots in the area) - very good value for money compared to other offers in the city - nice, clean rooms - friendly and helpful staff - excellent breakfast at the rooftop...

Sadly I can't give this hotel a good review. First impressions were ok. However it was clear that, despite the bathroom having been newly upgraded with a jacuzzi bath someone had forgotten to repair the leaking soil pipe. The smell was horrendous! The management spoke poor English, unusual for this standard of hotel, which made communicating the problem difficult. The... More
