Calenberg Hotel Istanbul

I’d avoid this place. They accused us of having “unauthorized guests” and tried to charge extra fees, but showed no proof. My girlfriend was staying alone and they harassed her. They also sent internal logs to my phone, which felt like a serious breach of privacy. The whole thing seemed dishonest and completely unprofessional. There are much better, safer, and more honest hotels in Turkey.

I felt really good staying here, and the hospitality was wonderful. The rooms were clean, the service was friendly, and breakfast was sufficient. For a 3-star hotel, I’d highly recommend it.

The staff were extremely friendly, and the rooms were pleasant and clean. But the walls are thin, so sounds from next door came through and often disturbed me at night. The area isn’t the best, and I wouldn’t recommend it for families, though I still felt it was safe and there were plenty of local amenities.

The location worked really well for getting around. It’s in the market area, six minutes on foot from large markets and eight minutes from the tram, which made tourist sites easy to reach. I stayed for two weeks with my mother and we had a great experience. Reception and the rest of the staff were welcoming and went out of their way whenever we needed something. Breakfast was good, with different food each day. Room service was excellent too, everything was cleaned properly and nothing was taken or misplaced. You get what you pay for. tessuklar
