Maya Hotel

I stayed at Maya Hotel for 5 nights in total. I liked everything about Maya Hotel. The location was ideal for me; easy walking distance to all my favourite locations: Grand Bazar, Aksaray, Kumpkapi, Fatih Mosque, Sultanahmet; all are within easy walking distance. I even walke to Eminonu (via Grand Bazar). Having said this, both Metro and Tram stations are less than 5 minutes walk. Staff was great, absolutely wonderful in fact. Everyone I approached responded extremely nicely. Rooms are nice and clean. Housekeeping ladies were always there to help. As you might know, Turks love to smoke so some rooms may smell of smoke; it's better to ask Hotel beforehand. Breakfast was absolutely wonderful. I never had a better Breakfast in any 3 Star hotel before. Reception staff were extremely helpful. I give you an example; I am travelling in Turkey and had a spare large suitcase. I asked if it can be kept at the hotel for 10 days, they happily accepted. This was a massive favour to me as otherwise I had to carry it unnecessary wherever I was travelling. A BIG thank you to all staff. Finally, you can not go wrong with Maya Hotel with their prices at all. I did read some negative comments and all I can say is if you are after extreme luxury, there are 4 and 5 Star hotels around. I am staying again at Maya Hotel whenever I am travelling to Istanbul.

I made the “last minute” booking since due to some weather issues I had to spend one night in Istanbul waiting for my upcoming friends. My Mom and I stayed in Maya hotel in 2004, so I thought it might be cute to stay here in 20 years. Maya was good in 2004 but today in 2024 I can say it is excellent. Great location, not very crowed streets, no tourist buses and slow tourist groups. Hotel is clean, bed linen good, water pressure in shower good, no smell, complimentary water and juice, very good breakfast (no champagne and strawberries, but all what we used to have for breakfast: eggs, sausages, cheese, tomatoes, crunches etc). Greatest option for 1-2 nights in Istanbul. The stuff was very helpful.

We really enjoyed our stay at your hotel. The size of the room was exactly what we needed for a short stay. Great surrounding, good restaurants, exchange office and cabs in proximity. However, the breakfast wasn't that great, it could have been better. Great value for money over all. I would definitely recommend this hotel! Thanks Maya hotel for making our stay enjoyable:)

Everything was perfect from location, food, room service, cleanliness and especially the staff that was beyond helpful and friendly. Surely we will recommend the place to others and stay at this hotel again. Thank you so much Maya Hotel for the great accommodations, till next time. From Baron's Family.
