Elanaz Hotel

Very Good
Traveller Type: Family with Young Children
  : Great location: next to the tram and many sights but still quite calm. Very kind staff. The view is great. The breakfast is ok. Nice bathroom with a big drawer and a modern shower.
  : Only small things. Like the card-reader (the one that activates lights) that works only after several attempts. Or no lights on the balcony. Or the shower hose that starts leaking.

  : The breakfast has very nice, specially the simit, that was the better that I could find in Istanbul. The hotel is small, so everyone (specially Hussein) will take care of you and know you. They got us a very reasonable transfer to the Airport by Taxi (payed in advance at the hotel!). Another very good thing is the location of the hotel. It is near a Tram stop, the Train Station, the Metro Station, and the cheapest Bosforus cruise boats. You can easily walk to the Agia Sofia, the Blue Mosque, and the Spice Bazar. But, as a big advantage, also very near on Hocapasa Street and Ibni Kemal, you have self service restaurants, Pide shops and bakeries (eat some borek) that have prices for locals, not prices for tourists.
  : Not about the hotel, about the Metro at the Airport. The Metro is more than 500 m out of the airport, when you get to the metro station, the vending machines don't accept cards, they don't accept 200 Lira notes (the ones the airport ATMs give you) and there is no ticket office with someone to talk to you. So back, to the Airport and Bus to Istanbul and then tram.

Disappointing

  : The breakfast was generous. The view from our room was excellent. The neighbourhood was perfect for walking to the major sights of Istanbul.
  : There were stairs up from our door to our bed but they were really no issue for us.
