I had a good four-night stay at Ista Palace-Grand Bazaar. The staff greeted me with warm smiles, making us feel welcome right from the start. Although my room needed some cleaning initially, the hotel responded quickly once we requested it. However, one aspect that needs improvement is the cleaning policies, which could be clearer to avoid confusion.

My stay at Ista Palace-Grand Bazaar was disappointing, with several cleanliness and maintenance issues overshadowing its decent location. While being situated near public transport and the old center of Istanbul was convenient, the state of the room made the experience unpleasant. 😞

On the bright side, the staff attempted to help by providing information about transfers and tours. However, that didn't make up for the issues I faced within the room.
