Detailed Review of Hotel Istanbul Trend in Turkey
After spending an amazing time in Antalya we came back to Istanbul on 10th July 2017 for final stay and return back to our homeland that is “Pakistan”. Our experience at staying Hotel Istanbul Trend was very good except two to three things which we did not like there.
Hotel Istanbul Trend Booking
I really like the rooms of the hotel because they were depicting the true picture of any four-star hotel. Centrally air-conditioned rooms equipped with LED, Electric Tea Kettle with tea bags and sugar, room refrigerator with water, chocolates and cold drinks.
Sizes of the rooms and washrooms were small, beds and mattresses were very comfortable, the lighting of the room was creating a good ambience. During the overnight stay, we did call them for any room services so reviews are not possible for the same. Except for room comfort, Hotel Trend was having small stairs & corridors to move.
Without breakfast, you cannot move around and enjoy your trip so in all cases we selected our hotels with complimentary breakfast. Next morning of our stay at Hotel Istanbul Trend, we went for a buffet breakfast and found lots of dishes to fill our stomachs in a small hall at the upper portion of the hotel.
I will rate 5 for its location as it was very close to most of the Old Town historical places and attractions. If I told you the distances of few locations from the Hotel Istanbul Trend then you will better under. An Askaray & Laleli Tram Stations were only 50 m & 500 m away respectively. Laleli & Suleymaniye Mosques were at 350 m & 1.2 km away respectively. Yenikapi Train Station & Marmary Yenikapi were around 450 m to 500 m. Grand Bazar, Spice Bazar & Hagia Sophia were only 1.6 km & 2.2 km from the Hotel Istanbul Trend.

The Marmara Sea was only 0.5 km away. Super Markets, Restaurants, Cafes, Bars and Bakeries/Café/Bar were within the range of 200m walking distance. To reach the Airport, you can access to Airport shuttle service from outside the hotel.
An attraction of selecting this hotel was also its outdoor swimming pool available at the rooftop. Personally, I did not go there, the reason was a shortage of time & tiredness but one of our group members reached the top and shared with us that it was very clean to swim. We missed it. Other facilities were, free of cost Wifi internet, Turkish or Steam Bath, Spa in additional charges, Sauna, Indoor swimming pool, Massage in additional charges, Airport Shuttle and Car rental services.
Now, I will share what I did not like about the Hotel Istanbul Trend. First, it was very close to the main road and the movement of traffic was disturbing. Second, there were lots of Pubs just under and close to the hotel that were causing the disturbance. Third, we did not extend our stay at Hotel Istanbul Trend more than one night because of their manager who was very rude, money was more important than customer satisfaction for him.
