I had a mixed experience at the Grand Emir Hotel. The location was fantastic, being close to major attractions like the Grand Bazaar and Hagia Sophia. but I found the rooms quite outdated and small, which made my stay less comfortable. Despite some polite and helpful staff, the facilities left much to be desired, especially the poor breakfast options.

My stay at the Grand Emir Hotel Old City was quite a mixed bag. While the location was excellent for reaching nearby attractions like the Grand Bazaar and historic sites, the overall condition of the hotel left much to be desired. The staff were friendly and helpful, but the outdated facilities and poor breakfast selection really detracted from the experience.
Rooms

The room I stayed in was very small and dated. Unfortunately, it lacked basic conveniences like tea/coffee facilities and drinking water (which is a must for me). The shower was quite problematic too, causing water to flood the bathroom every time I used it.

The hotel is located perfectly for those wanting to visit sites like the Aya Sophia and Blue Mosque. However, the surrounding area felt a bit sketchy at night and was quite messy, which was a bit off-putting.

Breakfast was largely the same every day and frankly, I found it better to skip it and grab something from one of the local cafes instead. However, I did appreciate the cappuccino machine available in the dining area.

My stay at Grand Emir Hotel Old City was a mixed bag. The location is stellar, putting me right next to major attractions like the Grand Bazaar and Hagia Sophia. However, the room was quite small and had some major issues like a leaking shower and a lack of basic necessities like drinking water. The breakfast was pretty disappointing too, just cold items with little variety. It's a decent place if all you need is a bed after a busy day exploring, but I expected a bit more comfort.

Facilities were basic, with only one elevator that could barely fit me and my luggage. There were additional services offered, but I didn't really use them.

My stay at Grand Emir Hotel Old City was a mixed bag. While the location was fantastic, being just a short walk from major attractions like Hagia Sophia and the Grand Bazaar, the room I initially received was not what I expected. It was quite small and dated, which made the experience less enjoyable. Fortunately, the staff was helpful, doing their best to accommodate me, and the cleaning service was excellent, keeping the room tidy.

The service from the staff was friendly, with one employee, Maradona, particularly standing out for his helpfulness. However, some of the hotel policies were frustrating, like not allowing me to leave my bags after checkout.

The hotel's location is its biggest asset. It's very close to historical sites, making it easy to explore the city. But be prepared for some noise due to its position in a busy trading area.

I had high hopes for my stay at the Grand Emir Hotel Old City, given its ideal location near major attractions. Sadly, the experience was marred by several issues including tiny rooms and a lack of basic amenities. Despite this, the staff was friendly and tried to help, which was a silver lining amidst the problems.
Rooms

The room I got was cramped and didn't even have a window. The bathroom door was broken, making it a real hassle. Plus, there was a consistent bad smell from the nearby cafeteria, and I heard disturbing noises from above, which I suspect was rodents.

Breakfast was pretty lackluster and repetitive. If I had to do it again, I’d definitely skip it and hit one of the cafes instead, as the dining area felt overcrowded and messy most mornings.
