Elysıon Hotel

Shops and grocery stores are close by, and the train station is only five minutes away on foot. For a central Istanbul location, the price is reasonable. It's a small, clean, well-kept hotel with helpful staff. It's in Fatih, about 40 minutes from Istanbul Airport (IST), and a yellow taxi costs roughly €35-€45. Breakfast was very basic, about one-star quality, with no variety.

Mr. Sahin was a wonderful host, always smiling and ready to help, and the rest of the employees were great too. The food was excellent, the rooms neat and clean, and the hotel is in a really good location. Thank you all for your kindness. It was a privilege to be around such lovely people. Greetings from Serbia, and I hope to see you again soon.

We were really happy with this hotel. The rooms were nice, clean, and affordable, and the location was great. Breakfast was very good, and the staff were friendly.

The only drawback for me was the room size. It was very small, though that's typical of economy rooms in Istanbul, and it was still clean and comfortable. For the price, you can find everything you need here. I stayed four days, went to Trabzon, then tried another hotel when I came back to Istanbul. I couldn't manage more than one night there, so I returned and spent another three nights here. It felt like coming home. The room and bathroom were comfortable and clean, and the staff were welcoming, genuinely friendly, and helpful. I was traveling alone as a woman and always felt safe in this quiet, good-quality area. The streets are flat and easy to walk, which isn't common in Istanbul. The location makes getting around easy, with metro and tram stations and bus stops nearby. There are also shops close by with great prices. I felt blessed during my stay and will definitely come back.
