The hotel's location is excellent, right in the heart of the city and close to various attractions. It’s very convenient for exploring old Istanbul, although it can get a bit noisy at night due to the busy street outside.

Dining

Breakfast offered limited options and, at times, felt very basic. I noted that if I arrived after 9 am, many items were already cleared away, which was disappointing. On the whole, the breakfast room had flooded one morning without much staff response, which was concerning.

I had a varied experience during my stay at Edition Old City Hotel. The location is fantastic, being within walking distance of major attractions like the Grand Bazaar. However, I encountered some issues with room types; while I started off in a room without windows, I was later upgraded to a lovely deluxe suite. The cleanliness was great, though the breakfast could use a bit more variety.

Rooms

I transitioned through three different room types during my stay. The economy room was quite small and lacked windows, which affected my experience. The deluxe junior suite, while spacious and filled with light, had a less functional bathroom layout. Overall, the rooms were well maintained but varied in comfort and size.
