Prag Hotel

I will start by saying that i never felt more welcome and more comfortable in a hotel before. The receptionist “James Bond” was so nice to us, super friendly and always ready to help. Thank you for making us feel at home. This place is very clean, the rooms and the bathrooms are spacious enough and nicely decorated, everything looks new. (There are no slippers in the room but if you ask at the reception they will give you if you need). The cleaning lady comes every day to clean the rooms and changes the sheets and the towels. The hotel is close to the main tourist attractions including the Grand Bazar. Even though you have to go uphill to get to them, they have an electric golf car at the hotel and they can take take you up the hill if you want - i totally recommend using it, it s fun. The surrounding area might not seem like a very safe one at first, but it’s really ok. Once you start exploring the city you will see that there s nothing to worry about. If you go to Istanbul by car, the hotel has a guarded parking lot (you can park there for free), everything is safe, they have a lot of security cameras. If you arrive by car after 10 am, it s better to have your booking reservation printed to show to the policeman so that he lets you enter the area because there are some pillars that must be lowered/lifted to let people in/out of this old town area. They are lowered during the night, between 10pm and 10am. The breakfast was very good, there is something for everyone. The staff is very helpful and friendly. I highly recommend this hotel to everyone going to Istanbul. And if we ever go back, we would choose this hotel again.

Overall, had a nice experience in this place. There is a twin hotel across the street, Opatija Hotel with same design. They are sharing the same restaurant where is served the breakfast and the same parking lot.🅿️ one of a few hotels which has private free parking in the area. It is close to the main attractions: Hagia Sofia, Topkapi Palace,etc.(aprox 30 min by walk). It has a diverse breakfast and nice people at the restaurant. Sometimes we felt the room cold in December, we didn’t see radiator, only ventilator which serve as heater. Prag hotel is situated near a mosque and you have to know that there is a pray at morning 6:30am which will be very loud, but it is their religion and we have to respect it. but good to know, probably it will wake up. WiFi doesn’t work so well when all of the guests connect. As almost all of the Istanbul central area, in this area it is crowded, narrow streets, and noisy. I recommend the hotel as a good raport price-quality, area, nice personal, breakfast, clean, parking.
