The hotel is well located, you are within a couple of minutes to the door of the Grand Bazaar and within 15 minutes walk to the Blue Mosque area. The rooms are OK for a 4 star hotel but need to be redone. The TV is 14 inch box. Very few channels and poor reception. Internet access is complimentary and... more

We stayed at this hotel as an extension to a tour to South Africa using Turkish Airlines and stayed at the Hotel President for 3 nights. It is excellently situated if you want to vist the sites of the Old City, and literally 3 minutes walk from the Tram line - Beyazit. 5 minutes takes you on foot to the... more

I have just returned from a 5 day trip to Istanbul where I stayed at the Best Western President Hotel. The trip was a city break with my sister and we had a twin room at The President. The hotel is located in a central convenient location tho quite a steep hill if you have walking/mobility issues. There's a tram... more

The views over the marmara sea and blue... more

I cannot fault this hotel. Excellent location, excellent staff and very good rooms. I had no noise problems and found the hotel overall to be of an exceptional standard for a Best Western. The location is perfect - easy walk to the Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar and many other locations in the old town. Given the price of many hotels... more

The location of the hotel is good, with the tram station only 3 minute walk away. The breakfast was lovely and the views from the dining room stunning. However there were many negative points: 1) Sound proofing is awful and you can hear your neighbours talk! 2) Don't pick the 5th floor as the noise from the dining room above... more
