Kaya Hotel, Istanbul

My stay at the hotel was a bit disappointing overall. The rooms were old, dirty, and poorly equipped, with a persistent cigarette smoke smell despite being a non-smoking room. The location was strategic and close to public transportation, but I wouldn't choose to stay here again for my next visit to Istanbul.

My stay at the hotel was decent overall. The rooms were quite standard, although ours had a lingering smoke smell and didn't appear freshly cleaned, with a small bed. The staff were friendly and helpful, particularly the housekeeper ladies and front desk managers, plus the bellman in the mornings. The location was convenient, near the tram station, but not very central. The dining experience left much to be desired, with repetitive and unappetizing options. However, the Thai dishes were a pleasant surprise.

My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were relatively clean but had a persistent smell of cigarette smoke, which was a bit off-putting. The location was convenient being near a tram station, making it easy to explore Istanbul. However, the dining experience left much to be desired with limited options available each morning.

Even though the rooms at Otel Kaya needed a serious overhaul and weren't as clean as expected, the strategic location near the tram station was a major plus point. The service staff, especially Najat at reception, was very helpful, which was a bright spot despite some unfriendly encounters. The dining experience left much to be desired, with inconsistent quality. However, the overall value for money was decent if you consider the location and service.

The hotel had small but comfortable and clean rooms, with friendly and helpful staff. The location was strategic and close to public transportation. The dining experience was fine, and the facilities met expectations.
