    The location of Orient Express & Spa By Orka Hotels is perfect for exploring the main attractions in Istanbul. The staff is friendly and ready to assist with any information you may need. The lobby and bar have a charming design inspired by the Orient Express train. The breakfast offers a good variety of international and Turkish dishes. The rooftop restaurant provides a stunning view of the Bosporus and Galata. The swimming pool in the basement is a great way to relax after a day of exploring. I would highly recommend this hotel for your stay in Istanbul.

    The location of the hotel is excellent - near a tram stop and walking distance to all the main attractions in Sultanahmet. Breakfast is included and the rooms were clean and tidy. The staff were friendly and helpful. There are many good restaurants close by and a nice park 2 minutes away. The staff went above and beyond to make sure all our needs are met and we are happy with our stay. The room we stayed at was small, but it’s enough for a couple. It’s cozy and clean. The bed is big and comfy. They happily stored our luggage for a few hours after check-out, so we enjoyed exploring the city a little bit more before leaving. We always came at the very last moment for breakfast, but there was always enough food, which was great.

    Felt very homey, no complaints whatsoever.

    The hotel is in a great location near all attractions and everything we need. It's in Sultanahmet district so we can easily explore the city. The staff is extremely helpful and polite. The room is clean and the breakfast offers a wide variety of food. Additionally, there is a swimming pool and comfortable lobby for relaxation.

    The room was quite small with a low ceiling, giving an uncomfortable feeling.

    The hotel's location is fantastic, as it is right on the tram route to all the main attractions in Sultanahmet. It is very close to many historical areas and within walking distance of Ayasofya and Sultanahmet mosques. The breakfast at the hotel was fabulous, offering a variety of options including strawberries, kiwi, cheese, meat. The staff were wonderfully friendly and couldn't have been more helpful throughout our stay.

    Nothing that we didn't like.

    Great location, close to all main tourist spots and public transport stations. Helpful and friendly staff, always ready to assist. Clean and recently renovated rooms.

    Difficult to access the hotel by taxi due to the presence of a tramway. Breakfast buffet could be improved, not very fresh and limited options.

    This hotel offers great value for money, with competitive prices and attention to detail. The location is perfect, situated in the heart of the old city, surrounded by tourist attractions and a variety of excellent restaurants just steps away. The basic amenities are well-maintained, and some rooms even offer a view of the Bosporus, with options for a balcony facing the streets. The breakfast spread includes all the expected dishes and is included in the stay.

    There's nothing to complain about at this hotel.

    The hotel's location was perfect, with easy access to key attractions like the Bosphorus and Topkapi Palace. The room had all the necessary amenities, including a kettle, tea/coffee, and a mini fridge. The bed was very comfortable, making for a great night's sleep.

    One of the rooms on the 5th floor had some issues with noise when the water was used above them. Although the staff were helpful, it would have been better if the noise issue had been resolved promptly.

    This hotel is in a very good area, ideally located for all the main sites in old Istanbul. We were able to explore the city on foot, with good restaurants just steps away. The staff were friendly and attentive, providing excellent service. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with thoughtful details such as slippers and a French balcony. The breakfast included all the expected dishes and was a great start to the day.

    The hotel could improve the noise insulation in the rooms.

The English-speaking staff made communication easy. The hotel had reliable wifi, a wide variety of breakfast options, and even an indoor swimming pool. The bed was comfortable and definitely worth the price. I highly recommend this hotel!

    Conveniently located downtown, this charming hotel impresses with its historical train-themed decor. The bright, minimalist rooms are impeccably clean and equipped with powerful showers. The polyglot, respectful staff is always helpful and accommodating. The addition of two convenient lifts makes navigating to higher floors a breeze. Reminiscent of Istanbul's golden era, this hotel offers a delightful middle-class experience.
