Golden Tulip Istanbul Bayrampasa

Good
Traveller Type:
  : I like the fact that the location of the hotel was located in a more native neighbourhood, it was not as loud as if you were to book near the more touristic locations, which made the area less overwhelming for me and my friend considering it was our first time in Istanbul. Having said that, due to the location also the side roads may not be the most women friendly at times. The hotel staff were very accommodating and nice, the hotel was also very beautiful and clean.
  : The side roads outside the hotel may not be so woman friendly as me and my friend were unfortunately cat called a few times and followed by 2 men in a white van , I would personally be more wary of the location as it is in a more native neighbourhood. The room we were given was also rather small in size and at times felt claustrophobic to be in, considering there was limited floor space for our suitcases. I also had pre informed hotel staff Id like the bedroom decorated with a happy birthday sign or a graduated sign with some balloons, and specifically had asked for this, yet when I arrived the theme was romantic and had I love you decorations circling the room which was hugely disappointing considering the fact that I was told the charge would be 100, which I then negotiated a little down ,which is still a lot of money for an incorrect job done, I was very disappointed at that. Therefore I would not recommend hotel decoration from this hotel to anyone.

Pleasant
Traveller Type: Family with Young Children
  : Reasonable price , decent room, good gym for a hotel
  : The area is not good, very run down and dirty. Very much industrial and messy. Not really any nice outside space. Miles away if you are a tourist and the metro/tram is really packed with people. The amount of traffic makes taxis not really an option.Food very average.
