Hotel Inter Istanbul

It’s a basic hotel, but it is a COMPLETE hotel less than 5mins walk to the Grand Bazaar, Beyazit area and T1 tram line which connects to alot of attractions. Lotsa of delicious eateries nearby. Ayasofya is just 2 stops away. I was a solo traveler but the hotel is very safe with a night guard and reception always on duty. And the heater keeps you warm on cold nights, the shower is nice and hot. And the breakfast is home-made by a kind lady in the kitchen. And house-keeping always keeps your room clean. My flight departed very late after midnight, but the reception arranged a safe taxi driver to the airport. I will definitely recommend this cosy hotel. Thank you to all the staffs.

We just stayed there bc of the close proximity of the Grand Bazaar. The hotel met our expectations

I did a short sty and it was good

Location great Very close to grand bazzar. I visit same hotel again

Clean, great location. Mediocre breakfast. Impossible to get adequate towels. Floor mat had to double as a hand towel. When I asked for and got extra towels from the front desk, the cleaning people promptly removed them. Basically a good budget hotel if you don't mind something very basic.

5 mins walk to Grand Bazaar and tram stop. Not expensive, everything we needed and friendly reception staff. Breakfast included quite adequate for price. Happily stay again!

Less than impressive; in fact a bad experience all round. The cupboard smelled to high heaven and one could therefore not unpack anything. The floor was dirty. The hotel has a laminate wooden table and a couple of plastic white chairs at the entrance. I seem to have lost two strings of pearls during my stay. I spent the 2 days that I visited Istanbul walking around and on the hop-on hop off bus; one could not stay in a room with a dismal view of a building being torn down and in any case, with nowhere but the bed to sit. No taxi driver knew where to find the hotel. The best that can be said about the hotel is that the wifi was mostly in order.

Hotel Inter is close to all main attractions, shopping and restaurants. The staff was very helpful, especially Guru. The bed was very comfortable with clean and crisp sheets. Breakfast was the typical Turkish Breakfast; eggs, olives, cheeses, meats, breads, etc. Hotel is off the main street so you could actually get a good nights sleep in this very busy city. It is a good budget hotel with adequate amenities, Would I stay there again? Definitely.

it was nice

Basic hotel, clean & quiet, fitted our needs. The front desk was very helpful & informative . We arrived very early from our cruise. Let us store our luggage. Put our important bags behind the desk. Gave us good directions on how to get to Blue Mosque. Our room was on the second floor at the end of the hall. It faced the street & had big windows. Surprised their was a small fridge, which was nice. It had air conditioning, which we needed. The main bed was only a double, but it was good enough. We had a quiet night. The breakfast had a large selection, some of which we didn't know the names of , but were very good. Taxi was 20 euros to get to airport, but it was a holiday, so traffic was light.

Overall good - nice and helpful staff / Latif. Hotel is very calm. Breakfast is very nice and all served fresh.

The staff were friendly enough without being outgoing. The hotel is clean. I booked and paid in advance for one person for ten days and requested a room not facing a wall and not too noisy. I was given a double room at no extra cost, on the top floor facing the street, so this was good. Rooms are small though and with a small window it still felt claustrophobic. Furnishings are very basic, no carpet. So the room was okay to sleep in but not inviting enough to return to on hot days if you wanted to spend some time back at the hotel between morning and evening city explorations. Also, the area the hotel is located in is surrounded by busy clothing businesses and is very noisy. Not so many tourists around, mainly people who work in the rag trade, a transnational bus driver, etc. No other English-speaking tourists around (which can be good, bad or inconsequential depending on your preferences).

If you're looking for a good value base for exploring the old city on foot, this has to be hard to beat. I got a bright, modern-ish room with big windows, at the end of the corridor away from the stairs so I can't really comment on noise, facing onto a quiet side street. Everything worked, shower was good. A/C possibly a bit noisy and not hugely effective, i didn't really use it. Windowless basement breakfast room possibly less than inspiring but breakfast buffet was varied and plentiful, good fuel for a days exploring. Staff courteous if unsmiling, that doesn't bother me at all. The location just a couple of minutes walk from the tram stop is brilliant - the M1 tram is the most modern and useful route to get around the city, and the Istanbulkart system is world class and extremely good value. Overall I would definitely recommend it, but I have very simple tastes and luxurious decor and frills don't interest me !

Roomes are clean a bet small close to most attractions good choice of breakfast helpful staff I would stay again

The staff was great, with a pick-up at the airport. The location of the hotel to the tram and historical sites is excellent. Our room on the backside of the hotel was smaller that those on the front side. Buffet breakfast was good, but lacked variety from day to day.

I stayed in the old town before but the room was very small. The room was bigger than that.

Inter hotel is a great place to stay if you are on a budget and want to be close to the main attractions. It is centrally located; literally steps from the Grand Bazaar. The hotel has all the basics (no toiletries) with a local flavor to it. I was travelling alone and found it odd to see that my room was supplied with only one bath towel and one small one, and enough coffee/tea for just one person. Breakfast is good. Staff is very helpful; their English is limited but they get you what you need. I had a room with windows facing the street. It can be noisy but it is not that bad. When you get out of the airport, you can take a taxi. Give the driver the hotel's address and phone number and you will get to your destination for around 40 Turkish liras (about 20 US dollars). I will stay here again on my next visit to Istanbul. Like I said, very basic but on the nice side.

Hotel staff excellent, Breakfast great. Took the trouble to make sure we had orange drink for my husband who is diabetic. Arranged tours for us. Let us leave luggage in room the day of our check out so we could sightsee and then placed the luggage in the lobby for us to load after we got a taxi to the cruise ship when we returned from our tour. .Stayed Oct 5 - Oct 7 2013

Hotel Inter is a nice hotel surrounded by Istanbul's historic sites and its modern shops. The rooms are clean, ours had a water view. The staff is helpful and very pleasant. They provided a fantastic breakfast and they held our bags after checkout so we could go sightseeing! Great place.

Overall enjoyed our short stay in Istanbul. Hoel was convent lay located in Grand Bazar area which is the main area of old town. Hotel is a good deal if your looking for a decent priced stay and need b&b . Staff was helpful and overall satisfied.
