Nice hotel in a good location, reasonable price

We, an "old couple" stayed here for several days for a combined sightseeing/family reunification, so our primary goals were relatively close vicinity to the main attractions like Haja Sofia, easy access to the public transport and a reasonable price. Upon check-in, initially booked "economy room" was generously upgraded to the "superior" one. Same was offered to our son who booked separately. At all times of stay the hotel personnel continuously demonstrated hospitality and proficiency. This is especially true about both receptionist named Irfan and Jusuf and also a lady who served breakfast. Room kept neat and towels were changed daily. So our best expectations came true: we had really good time in Istanbul!

great stay in Tophane

Everything about the hotel was excellent. From the size and quality of the room, the quality of breakfast, speed of wifi, the courteous and friendly service, I simply could not find anything that was lacking. I recommend the hotel without any hesitation, and would stay here again on returning to Istanbul.

Brilliant hotel in a great location

We went to Istanbul for five days and stayed at the WAW Hotel. Upon check in our room was upgraded which was massively appreciated. The room was exceptionally spacious with a little kitchen sink, kettle, fridge and microwave. The bathroom had a nice walk in shower and the water pressure, which I find when holidaying can be poor, was very good. The hotel manager was super helpful as were all the staff. Breakfast was included in our stay which included hot foods as well as pastries and cereals. The location of the hotel was brilliant. 2 minute walk to the tram which takes you in to Sultanahmet for all the sights and grand bazaar only taking 10 minutes on the tram. From the hotel you can walk up to Takism Square and visit the shopping high street. The hotel was surrounded by restaurants serving amazing food and very reasonably priced. We would definitely stay here again.

In dem Zimmer gab es leider sehr wenig Licht(LED mäßig), es gibt keine Fenster die nach außen führen, sondern nur in ein Innenhof und somit kommt kein Tageslicht in das Zimmer. Außerdem ist es echt sehr hellhörig. Man hört alles von den Nachbarn, sei es das Gerede, die Toilettenspülung, die Stimmen aus dem Innenhof und auch den Aufzug. Das Personal ist nett. Das Zimmers und das Badezimmer waren ziemlich groß. Das beste an dem Hotel ist die Lage. 2 Minuten Fußweg zur Tophane t1 Haltestelle. 2 Haltestellen von Kabataş entfernt und in die andere Richtung 1 Haltestelle von Karaköy entfernt. Auch fußläufig ist man innerhalb von 10 Minuten mitten auf der İstiklal cadde (Der Berg dahin ist crazy).

Das Hotel ist sehr zu empfehlen. Es ist sehr sauber und die Lage ist top, nur 2 Minuten von der Bahnhaltestelle entfernt. Sabah und der nette Mann an der Rezeption sind die nettesten Rezeptionisten, die ich jemals kennengelernt habe. Die sind sehr hilfbereit und man fühlt sich wirklich wie zu Hause. Das Hotel bietet die Möglichkeit, sich mit dem Taxi vom Flughafen abholen zu lassen, und auch eine SIM-Karte zu einem sehr fairen Preis zu kaufen.
