Gabriele from Switzerland (7/10)
Grand Makel Hotel Topkapı is definitely a great address to enjoy a pleasant stay in wonderful millenary Istanbul with a satisfying price/quality ratio. It is indeed also chosen by several medical clinics to host their patients while preparing for or recovering from an aesthetic surgery practice, you will likely see many. Personnel is extremely kind and helpful (“Burcu” in particular at Concierge and Diana Eyyup at Reception), cleaning service is efficient and English-speaking. The hotel offers facilities such as gym and spa with indoor pool alongside a rooftop restaurant called “Maki” with spectacular views of the Bosphorus, Sea of Marmara and the City’s iconic Mosques. Totally worth a visit. Free Room upgrades included in some booking packages. Room service 24/7 at very cheap prices (e.g. Pizza Margherita 320 TL) and particularly fast (<15min).
