Rooms are OK, but if you are a female solo traveller, be careful. You don't exist for the personnel. The service is like 'Do I really have to do that?'. You are not allowed to bring in the hotel own snack (snickers in my case), neither own water, juice etc. So if you bought the bottle of water and haven't... more

The Plaza provided quite a good base from which to see Istanbul. It seems a little far out until you master the local public transport system but from then on it's great. You can travel to the famous sights at the Golden Horn by walking or catching the bus down the road and getting a boat from Bestikas straight to... more

The hotel was excellent with central location, state of the art service, the restaurant on the top floor have an amazing view, the staff were very courteous and has a very good shopping arcade near the hotel building complex more

Overall the stay was okay but there were a number of minor issues. Firstly, the hotel is situated beside a busy junction and has limited space in front which makes drop off... more

This hotel was recommended by local business contact and I was a little concermed after reading some of the reviews here but after my visit I am now confused!?? Staff was curteous, hotel and rooms were clean, gym had everything I needed, the breakfast had a huge selection to accomodate any diet and the price was good. The Grand Hyatt... more

The Sheraton was full so I was booked here. Nice hotel, rooms a little small, food nice, very helpful more

I stayed in the Plaza Hotel for business. I was quite disappointed due to the unfriendly staff, room that needed a refresh (shower curtain fell off all the time, used tiles in the bathroom, noisy air conditioning), large but average quality breakfast. I was also surprised that I had to pay 5 EUR for a map of Istanbul, whereas in... more
