Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Olimpic Hotel enjoys a fantastic location, placing you within easy walking distance of Istanbul's major historical attractions like the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque, as well as the tram. Many guests appreciate the spacious rooms and the stunning sea view from the breakfast area, where you can enjoy a variety of Turkish breakfast options; however, some found the breakfast selection limited in more familiar breakfast items. Its proximity to key landmarks and transportation makes it a great value for exploring the heart of Istanbul.
