5 star hotel, 5 star review

My stay here was amazing, the room was clean and was well presented. The gym was very big and had everything that I needed, and spa area was very pleasant. The staff were very accommodating and welcoming from the moment I arrived. I would highly recommend this hotel, and special thanks to Misra and Elif for the smooth and quick check out. I will definitely be returning soon.

I recently stayed at Lionel Hotel Istanbul and had a mixed experience. The hotel has a good location and offers decent service, but there were some issues that impacted my stay. While the staff was accommodating, there were cleanliness concerns, including dirty shoe prints in the bathroom and a hair found between the bed sheet and blanket. Housekeeping seemed inconsistent and could improve attention to detail. Additionally, the bathroom ventilation fan in my first room wasn’t working, and the bed configuration in that room caused disturbances due to sliding beds. On the positive side, the hotel did upgrade our room twice, and when we requested smaller pillows at 4 a.m., they responded. However, service was sometimes slow—for example, it took over two hours to receive drinking water after requesting it. Overall, this hotel offers medium-quality service. If you come with moderate expectations, it can still be a comfortable stay. I would recommend it, but not if you’re expecting top-tier luxury or flawless service.

Best Hotel of My Trip – Exceptional Service! This is hands down the best hotel I stayed at during my trip! The service was absolutely amazing—I’ve never experienced service like this in Turkey. The valet parking team and security staff were incredibly nice, respectful, and spoke English very well. The service felt like more than 5 stars, and they were extremely generous! The room was very clean and spacious, making it totally worth the money. The only downside is that it’s a bit far from Taksim and Galata Port, but it wasn’t an issue for me since we had a car. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel!
