I'd booked a room at the Carlton for my 2 day stay in Istanbul with my wife. The room was ok but unfortunately had more negatives than positive points. The most important positive point about this hotel is the location - walking distance from the Topkapi Palace and the main attractions. The AC was too loud. It would automatically turn... More

This hotel was just a sequence of errors. Pay a price high enough for a triple, but being a city quite different,we trusted in the name that carries this network of hotels. Silly mistake. When we arrived, the staff, extremely arrogant, with an complicated English to understand and always screaming, took us to our triple room. getting there, despite and... More

Very good location, near tram station and clean area, nice stuff, good breakfast, nice rooms. Overall it's a deal comparing to price paid.

The breakfast room is dingy and unexciting and the staff are uninterested - except for the barman/ coffee gent who was on duty early in the morning when I was working in the bar and he came around and ensured I had...

Looks can be deceptive they say - very true in case of the Carlton Hotel. The lobby is impressive, but once you enter the room, it showed how shoddily maintained the hotel was. The bathroom was unbelievable small. The air conditioning was noisy and stopped every 15 minutes...with the high summer temperature, this certainly didn't help. I had booked this... More

Horrible is not enough. Spent one night week ago (oct 2011) did not step on the floor in room even in socks, state of a carpet never seen before even on grime fighters. 4 stars good Lord maybe monkey gave them. Wall with window the best, YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS, mould and fungus all over it, covered with courtain,... More
