Detailed Reviews
We visit Istanbul each January and have always stayed at this hotel.Mainly because we appreciate the comfort that it affords. Very comfortable rooms - welcoming after a day's sightseeing; especially the lovely hot shower. The hotel is exceptionally clean. WiFi is free and has a good speed. The location of the hotel is close to both the tramway and the metro. It's location is excellent for visiting all of the major sights - either by walking or by catching the tram for a few stops. Will definitely stay here again in 2011.

Whenever I go to Istanbul I stay at the Yigitalp Hotel. In general, it is a very good hotel. The location is excellent for me because it is in the Laleli area, less than half an hour' walk from Haghia Sophia and 10 minutes by tram (the T1 tram stop is about 4-5 minutes walk from the hotel); in addition to this, the street where the hotel is located is very quiet.
The hotel inside is quite nice and comfortable; the rooms are modern and well furnished, with everything you might need. Breakfast is an open buffet and I personally like it a lot, although I have to say that the first times I stayed at Yigitalp there were fewer things but more authentic and truly delicious (I always remember fondly the big and fleshy olives from my two first trips to Istanbul).
The service is generally very good. Waiters and most of the staff are really welcoming, friendly, polite and they always try to help.
The only negative thing I would like to point out is that soundproofing is not too good. I always ask for a room on the top floor because it is much quieter up there. But this time I was surprised that they had moved the dining room to the area immediately above the top floor and now there is a terrace too. And you can hear people walking and voices on top, especially in the bathroom. For many people having breakfast, lunch or dinner at the top of the building while watching the cityscape and the sea in the background can be very pleasant and even an extra; in my case, I prefer not to be disturbed in my room and be able to sleep properly rather than enjoy a good view when having breakfast.
To sum up, it's a good hotel. That's why I always keep staying there. But there should be better soundproofing, especially for light sleepers and people who are more sensitive to noise, like me.

The location was great. It's close to 2 metro and 2 tramlines. You can walk to Sulaimaniyyah, Grand Bazaar and Sultan Ahmet. The staff were very helpful; it was great that we got to use their laptops and printers to fill in our passenger locator forms.
The room was small lacked a bath tub and window facing a wall. The breakfast was uninspiring and repetitive. We asked for a double/king bed but got 2 single beds joined together which was awful.

The hotel was in a good location and adequate for a two day stay while visiting the city, however we were given such poor recommendations for places to eat and things to do that we felt like an easy mark. We arrived tired and hungry after a 10 hour flight. We took their recommendation for a restaurant under the bridge for dinner. We ended up ordering only one entree and a bottle of wine for $450 (a lot more than we would normally spend. We complained to staff at the hotel for not warning us about the cost only to find they gave the same recommendation to friends who arrived two days later. Definitely can’t be trusted.

Hotel is as would be expected in this price range, comfortable bed, limited hanging space, good bathroom but nowhere to lay out a suitcase. Breakfasts are good (they were included in the room deal by my your company.
However, don’t even think about having dinner in the top floor restaurant…. Over priced and under value.. was charged 30 euros each for canned soup, limited Bain-marie hot food (it wasn’t) and a limited range of salads. Take a tip, walk out onto the street, turn left and walk 100m to a range of good eateries at realistic prices.

Very very small rooms. Inefficient staff except the doorman Murat. The receptionist Onur was trying to fool us by insisting on taking some promotional tour. Not at all trustworthy people. We had 2 rooms and we requested for late checkout of 2 pm for atleast 1 room which was outrightly refused.

We started our tour at this hotel and was pleasantly surprised by the decor. The staff were friendly and attentive. Breakfast was included which was pleasant on the top floor of the hotel. The rooms were comfortable if a tad small, although we each had a room. It was close to restaurants and a train station

We spent four nights here, two pre tour and two post tour, and we were very comfortable; it was great and we loved the views from the breakfast room.
The staff were all friendly and helpful.
The breakfast buffet was extensive and delicious.
It’s located in the old town, perfectly positioned for exploring.
The mini bar prices were very reasonable.
We would highly recommend to anyone visiting Istanbul.

A well situated restaurant. Good room, well equipped. A good restaurant with tasty food. A short walk from a bustling road filled with restaurants and shops. We were part of a coach tour and spent a couple of happy evenings here. I would happily come again.

This is the 3rd low price hotel in which I have stayed in Istanbul, and it was certainly the best value. For about £35 a night I was given a fairly large room with a double bed, and being on the large side, this was just what I wanted! The hotel is situated on a busy, trading side-street in a part of Istanbul which is the haunt of Russian ladies buying clothes ro resell back home. But they did not seem to be staying at this hotel! Perhaps this was due to the rather off-putting notice in the lift which says that any drink consumed in the room and not bought at the hotel would be charged 50% of their bar tariff! I brought in water bottles without any problem, but I did hide the gin bottle and tonics just in case! My room was at the back of the hotel, with no view to speak of, but was very comfortable and quiet. There is a tram stop Lalleli about 2 minutes walk away which takes you to Sultanhamet in 5 minutes. About 10 minutes walk is the great bazaar, and by walking through this for about 20 minutes you arrive at the port and the boats for Bosphorus tours and the Galata bridge to go to Taksim. And so the hotel is well situated for the tourist. The reception staff could do with smiling a little more, but they were very helpful and smart. The hotel was very clean and nicely decorated in a rather old fashioned style. The breakfast included was excellent, especially by Istanbul standards. The hotel also provides transport from the airport at a reasonable cost, it is even free if you book directly with the hotel. This is a great advantage if you don't want to run the risk of being ripped-off or terrorised by Istanbul taxi drivers who think they are formula 1 drivers: but of course there is now the metro which takes you from the airport to Aksaray station which is only 10 minutes walk from the hotel. I am about to book to go to Istanbul again for another 10 days and will certainly stay at the Yigitalp (pronouned YEETAP).
