The hotel offers a fantastic breakfast spread that includes freshly prepared items.

I experienced several frustrations during my stay at Rayelin Hotel. The air conditioning in my room was barely functional, leaving me uncomfortable at night. the internet connection was painfully slow and unreliable, making it impossible to stay connected when I needed to work. The thin walls allowed every noise from the bustling street outside to penetrate my room.

We really enjoyed our stay, especially the daily Turkish coffee and cookies that welcomed us at reception. The spa was a great escape with a relaxing steam room and soothing massages available. Only downside was the check-out process, where they were a bit strict about timing. 😊

The superior quadruple room had a decent layout, perfect for a family wanting to stick together without being cramped. The hotel’s location allows easy access to key sites, making sightseeing a breeze.

The air conditioning was central and completely out of control, leaving it too hot at times. The spa facilities were a letdown, the swimming pool felt like ice water, the hot tub was broken, and the steam room was also out of order for the entire week. WiFi connectivity was unreliable. it barely worked in the rooms, forcing us to rely on mobile data. pillows were uncomfortably inflated, making sleep a bit of a challenge.

great stay with minor inconveniences

Upon arrival, I appreciated the warm welcome, including a delightful platter of treats. The indoor pool exceeded my expectations in size and cleanliness. the breakfast offered an impressive range of options, including fresh fruits and local delicacies, making every morning a culinary delight. The city view from my room added a nice touch, enhancing the overall experience.

The check-out process felt a bit rushed despite my overall satisfaction.

The Rayelin offers a delightful stay with its fantastic breakfast spread that includes freshly prepared items like omelets, a wide array of cheeses, and even a bowl of delicious Turkish delights upon arrival! The staff, especially Mehmet at breakfast, were attentive and kind, adding a personal touch to the mornings.

Limited storage.

Impressive hospitality and location

During my stay, I was welcomed with plates of fruit and bottled water, which set a warm tone right from the start. The cleanliness was exceptional, with my room maintained to a high standard and the spacious shower a real highlight. I loved the fantastic breakfast spread, featuring freshly prepared items like omelets and a wide array of cheeses, making each morning delightful. While my overall experience was great, the pool could have been warmer for a more relaxing experience.

Friendly staff presence

The exceptional cleanliness and attention to detail throughout the hotel were evident, making every corner inviting and comfortable. A highlight was the diverse breakfast buffet, featuring local culinary delights such as grilled meat, which truly elevated the morning experience. Unfortunately, the air conditioning in the room struggled to maintain a comfortable temperature, leading to some restless nights. the WiFi connectivity was inconsistent and needed improvement, making it difficult to stay connected. The lack of storage space in the room was another inconvenience that could use addressing.

Just an ideal choice for a city break in Istanbul with extraordinarily good value for money. I appreciated the friendly staff who went out of their way to help me with local recommendations. Try to visit the breakfast early to snag a good table.
