We took two rooms in this hotel. The rooms were good. And breakfast was quite good. Many things to eat. Staff were friendly and helpful. Many supermarkets small shops and restaurants around the hotel. It is within 10 minutes walking to the underground station that takes you to other parts of istanbul. And is only 5 minutes away from the tram.

Mirilayon is the hotel with the most surprises of the hotels we stayed in Istanbul, but i think we should have expect it since is 3 star (I see on agoda is listed like a 4 stars and on expedia like a 2 stars…we booked it last year as a 3 stars:)) we found good and bad reviews and was really cheap... more

Mirilayon is the hotel with the most surprises of the hotels we stayed in Istanbul, but i think we should have expect it since is 3 star (I see on agoda is listed like a 4 stars and on expedia like a 2 stars…we booked it last year as a 3 stars:)) we found good and bad reviews and was really cheap on that moment so this was actually the reason why we booked it for a really fast stay in Istanbul. Is still close to the center , close to the attractions of Istanbul but placed in a more comercial area. I wanted to stay in that part of the city, Lalely area for the shops and because we didn't stay before in that area. Consider way better the Sultanahmet area is the best area for first , second time in Istanbul. The Mirilayon hotel is placed on a side street not to far from the boulevard 5, 6 tram stations from historical center at the end of a wide boulevard on wich on the right and left are only shops mostly not so interesting ones(maybe just the shoe shops:)). Hotel looks nice from outside a really small reception and entrance , lobby is really turkish like all the other entrances of the hotels in Turkey bling bling tipe wich is not a bad thing is their style. The receptionist was really welcoming , he invited us to sit in the lobby untill they prepaired our room and after 20 minutes or so we went in an upper floor room and we had the big surprise, the room was smelly, really smelly, the bathroom was not cleaned ,the toilet seat had stains on it , and the water dispenser had evident fingerprints ,black hairs on the toilet, sink and even bed ....what can i say i never before experienced this tipe of hotel room , so imagine i was really pissed off . We went down to the reception where again they talked really nice to us and they called the hotel manager and he came with us in the room to see what was our complain and he apologised and he said he can't change the room but he will call the cleaning people to change the bed sheets and clean the bathroom. Since we are not so picky people and were only for a short stay in Istanbul we accepted it and we left in the city for a walk and he said all will be fresh and clean when we comeback fact that was true , they cleaned the room and they left us a basket with fruits and wine to apologise. We had breakfast included (we were kind of afraid after the experience with the room) but was all ok the food was good and enough options for the price we paid. The personnel of the hotel was really well mannered , receptionist , people in the breakfast area and the manager. They also have a hammam area with wet sauna and massage and we had a full body massage, which i can say was one of the best i had , and was really cheap to . The personnel from the spa area was russian and they were a little nose up :)) in my opinion but still ok , we where really happy with the sauna and the massage after a long walk in the city. All in all the hotel is ok, in my opinion the rooms are dated but for the price we paid they compensate with breakfast and massage, I can see other people experienced better rooms than us. We certainly like Istanbul that's why i think we will go back every year and we will try to stay in other hotel every time we go. Istanbul has his colours and we have to try. After this time I've been with my mother in july of course we stayed in another hotel:)
