Hello! I have stayed at the Ilkay on several past trips. I was disappointed this last time at the breakfast. I admit that I get to breakfast during the last 15-20 minutes. I dislike the way the staff make me feel pressured to hurry. The staff intends to clean up the area at exactly 10:30 a.m. and if you are eating, it feels uncomfortable. I try to hurry. I want to feel more relaxed on my holiday. People spend a lot of money to travel, and they don't want to feel pressure to hurry up and eat their breakfast. The restaurant staff can clean up without making guests feel uncomfortable. The staff at the front desk are very nice as are the cleaning staff. I like this hotel; just chill out a little at breakfast.

I really enjoyed the breakfast and the breakfast staff. One of the maids kept taking the toilet paper from my room. I thought that was rude and strange. My travel guide had a difficult time speaking to me when he would contact the hotel. Someone told him that they could not connect him to my room telephone. This became a problem for me until I was able to fix the problem with one of the front desk employees. The location is excellent; however, the tram line is extremely noisy into the late-night hours. The noise also starts early in the morning, and it interrupted my sleep.

Literally on the tram line in Gulhane
Check in was basic WiFi password given keys no porter service. Room was small twin with on suite. It was clean but dated. It was also facing the main tram line so early nights were not an option. Teams run till midnight & start up at 6am. Breakfast was the most basic we had on our travels in Turkey. On real orange juice some dilute water. There were eggs fresh bread honey cereal but limited hot food. The positive thing with this hotel is it is centrally located near all the main attractions, topkapi 20 mins walk Sultanahmet 10 minutes Bosporus 10 minutes grand bazaar 30-25 minutes.
