I stayed at the Plaza for 3 nights during a recent business trip to Istanbul. The hotel was booked by local colleagues due to proximity to their office. 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

Spent two nights in this hotel, which was selected and booked by a client as the hotel where their event was being held was fully booked. Arrived late in the evening (around 11pm) and first impressions were good: the lobby is clean and bright, reception checked me in quickly, and a porter carried my bag to my room on the... more

Stayed at this hotel for two nights in Feb. 2008 whilst in Istanbul on business. The booking was made on my behalf by a client. There's nothing really wrong with it, and it is in the centre of Istanbul, but there is no way that it was a 5 star experience. more

Stayed in Plaza for 14 days in November. Check in - no issues and the reception staff - no complaints. The room - I was on the excecutive floor - was ok. The only complaint is that the windows did not open and even in November the room was a bit too warm for me. Breakfast was on the last... more

Perhaps location is good - with the traffic in Istanbul being what it is, that might be important, but the hotel is just beyond words - the staff wavers between indifferent to openly rude especially if you are a single female traveler. The "executive" rooms were as expensive as in any northern European city, yet they were disgusting, old smelly... more

I stayed here for 2 nights. After reading other reviews I was braced for the reception staff who were ... fine. My reservation was messed up, but I had not sent a fax as they asked, and they had my name misspelled. Tip: get a reservation code number. There was no problem with the young guy behind the desk. He... more
