We stayed 5 days at this property. We booked a design suites and the size is adequate for 2 of us. It is in a great location and in the middle of old town. However, the room is not clean and the floor is filthy. We also recorded a video of live roaches crawling up from the bathroom vanity and we showed to the front desk staff. The room has a decent view of the sea and the mosque from distance. However, there were a lot of cigarette buttons threw down the balcony from people smoke above us. Also, the guests threw down foods and breads for the cats and birds. The breakfast is mediocre and low quality. The had many items spreading out but most were low in quality. The breakfast selections were the same each day. We ate their breakfast only 1 day and skipped the rest of our stay. This is not considered of 4 stars hotel as they advertised themselves. The pictures on their website were taken many years ago and the room furnitures were wore out/dated. The reception guy with beards is not friendly.

Pros: Extremely convenient location; very friendly and helpful staff; excellent breakfast.

The hotel was lovely, the staff were wonderful and the facilities were great too. Our needs were always met, we were greeted well with a smile and were offered water, tea and coffee when entering/going out. Breakfast was nice, a lovely spread with fruits, salads, cheeses,meats,cereals, pastries, tea and coffee etc. The room was always kept clean and tidy for us, water and towels were replaced. The house keepers were also nice and helpful. One of the best highlights for us was staying at this hotel. Our transfers were sorted with no fuss. We would like to thank the staff for making our stay a pleasurable one.

Wonderful location for touring Istanbul. All in Yilsam were courteous and amicable. The breakfast buffet display has been, so far in our trip, beautiful and delicious…complimented with an impressive view of the Marmara port. Worth to stay at the Yilsam.

This was an okay hotel located in a good location of Istanbul for access to major sites. Very nice breakfast overlooking the Sea of Marmera. The price I paid through Expedia (EUR 206/night) was more expensive than what the hotel listed on it's price at the hotel (EUR 185/night) so that was disappointing.

This is not a comfortable hotel
The star rating on this hotel is missleading. This hotel offers only a great view. Uncomfortable cushions, no AC, mildew in bathrooms. You have to open the windows to get some air, but there is a minaret right in front off you with loudspeakers to call Muslims for prayer that starts at daybreak around 5am and continuous 5 times a day which wakes you dead on. We were exhausted and had backaches from the sleeping situation and had to switch to another hotel without getting any refund. Even the mentioning of our discomfort was addressed very arrogantly. This hotel needs to be evaluated in star ratings!!
