Emerald Mansion Hotel – Special Class

Emerald Mansion Hotel – Special Class

10/10 Excellent
"This was a wonderful hotel to stay at for my first visit to Istanbul. It is in the heart of everything. There are like a million restaurants around you, many shopping sites and the tram is right up the street. The room was VERY clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. Mel the main receptionist that I saw was wonderful. The room did feel hot the first night and I tried to change the thermostat but the guests are not able to change it on their own. You just let the receptionist know. They changed it for me to make the room cooler. If this is your first time visiting Istanbul this is a great place to stay as it's within walking distance of most of the tourist attractions and there are tons of restaurants and shopping all around you. I felt welcomed by the staff and would stay here again."
