I had an overall pleasant stay at the Grand Yavuz Hotel. The location is fantastic, making it easy to explore major attractions like the Grand Bazaar and Hagia Sophia. While the breakfast options were decent, I did find the rooms quite small, which was a challenge given my height. The friendly staff made a significant difference, assisting me with requests and providing useful information throughout my visit.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Grand Yavuz Hotel Island. The location was really good, just a few minutes' walk from many historical sites like the Hagia Sophia and the Grand Bazaar. However, I did notice some dust under the bed in my room, which could be improved. The breakfast offered was decent, but there is definitely room for enhancement in variety and quality.

The room was clean and comfortable, though it felt a bit small compared to what I'm used to. The bathroom was in very good condition, but the frosted glass doors were a bit unconventional and could be surprising.

The hotel's location could not be better—nestled in the heart of old town Istanbul, it made my exploration of major attractions a breeze. The narrow, winding streets added an authentic touch to my stay.

The breakfast was typical Turkish, offering a variety of breads and beverages. While satisfactory, it could definitely offer a wider selection of dishes to cater to various tastes.

Facilities

The hotel has a cozy rooftop dining area with beautiful views, and the amenities like the gym and gift shop were nice touches. However, the elevators felt rather claustrophobic, which was a bit off-putting.

I had a stay at the Grand Yavuz Hotel for a night thanks to a free voucher from Turkish Airlines. The location is excellent, right in the heart of Sultanahmet, making it easy to explore attractions like the Grand Bazaar and Hagia Sophia. However, the room I was given was incredibly small. much smaller than I expected from the photos. Despite this, the staff were friendly, and I appreciated their effort to provide an extra mattress for comfort.

Breakfast was average, situated in a somewhat dingy basement area. while there were some Turkish options, it did lack variety. I wouldn’t say it was anything to rave about.

Facilities

Facilities were basic but covered the essentials. things like room service and housekeeping were available, but the lack of a kettle in the room was disappointing.
