Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Grand Unal Hotel is often praised for its convenient location, particularly its proximity to the T1 tram line, making Istanbul's attractions easily accessible, and it is also within walking distance to the Grand Bazaar for many guests. The breakfast, served on a terrace, is considered a highlight by many, with a good variety of options; however, a few guests have mentioned that the selection may not entirely cater to European tastes. Guests also appreciate the spaciousness of the rooms and the big windows that some rooms feature.

the location was good for shopping and seeing historical sites.
The cute receptionist was rude, and they gave us a room with two single beds instead of the queen bed i booked. The bathroom was also dirty, and the bedroom had a strange smell i didn't like.
