Guest Reviews
Location
Public transportation options are abundant with multiple bus stops nearby, facilitating smooth travel around the city. However, reaching the historic city center and main attractions like the Blue Mosque can take upwards of 1-1.5 hours by public transport. The area is generally described as a quiet, industrial zone, which might not appeal to tourists looking for picturesque surroundings but suits business travelers and those with specific logistical needs well.
The hotel's neighborhood is considered safe and well-organized, featuring plenty of grocery stores, cafes and local eateries. Despite the distance from central attractions, its accessibility to public transport makes navigating Istanbul manageable. Guests note that the area can be congested during workdays due to nearby car garages and industrial outlets and it's located on a hill which may require some uphill walking.
For those flying in or out, the convenience to the airports is a notable advantage. While the location may not be ideal for tourists aiming to explore Istanbul’s historic sights quickly, it is well-suited to travelers who prioritize access to shopping, dining and business districts.
Breakfast
However, several guests noted the breakfast's repetitiveness and limited options with the same menu being served daily. There were also concerns about the freshness and quality at times, such as pre-packaged bread and minimal variety, particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic. While some praised the staff’s attentiveness and the overall value for money, others found the breakfast disappointing, citing a lack of fresh coffee and sparse offerings.
For travelers who prioritize variety and higher standards in their morning meals, the breakfast at Han Hotel might fall short. Nevertheless, for those looking for a simple, decent start to the day at a reasonable price, it generally meets basic expectations.
Dinner
However, it's worth noting that the restaurant has operating hours until 4.00 pm and some guests mentioned the inability to dine at the hotel beyond breakfast or bring their own food. While breakfast received mixed reviews with some describing it as good, clean and sufficient, others felt it was weak.
For those seeking more dining options, there are several nearby restaurants that offer decent alternatives. While some guests found the limited food options and quality areas needing improvement, the overall consensus suggests that Han Hotel is a convenient and budget-friendly option for lunch. However, guests should be aware of additional charges for services like daily cleaning and internet and the lack of availability for lunch and dinner as initially advertised in some descriptions.
Rooms
However, the size of the rooms was a common point of contention with many reviewers noting that the rooms were very small and occasionally felt cramped. Despite their compact size, some guests found the rooms comfortable and suitable for short stays. Certain rooms were described as spacious, particularly those accommodating three people or more, offering adequate space and often being praised for their cleanliness.
The hotel’s furniture and decor received mixed feedback. While some guests were satisfied, many pointed out that the furniture was old and in need of refurbishment. There were also comments about the lack of certain amenities such as refrigerators, kettles and proper ventilation, which detracted from the overall experience.
Noise was another issue for some reviewers, mentioning thin walls and noise from neighboring rooms or the street. Additionally, a few guests were disappointed by discrepancies between the rooms they booked and what they received, noting that the photos online were sometimes misleading.
Overall, Han Hotel offers basic but clean accommodations that are generally well-maintained and functional, although the small room size, dated furniture and occasional noise issues might be a drawback for some travelers. The hotel seems to provide a good value for the price, especially for those who plan to spend most of their time exploring the city rather than staying indoors.
Beds
However, there are a few areas needing attention. Some guests experienced issues with bed sizes, especially single beds being described as small. A few found the beds to be shaking or creaky, needing some upgrades. A consistent point of criticism is the pillows, which many found to be hard and uncomfortable. Additionally, there were isolated comments regarding bed linen showing signs of wear or stains and occasional odors associated with the beds.
Overall, while Han Hotel generally provides a comfortable sleeping experience with clean and pleasant bedding, addressing the concerns about pillow comfort and bed maintenance would enhance guest satisfaction.
Cleanliness
Additional comments note that the hotel maintains clean common areas and cleanliness is extended to public spaces and amenities, contributing to an overall hygienic environment. Some guests emphasized that the quality of cleaning felt like a five-star service and everything in the hotel worked perfectly. The cleaning staff’s friendly and helpful demeanor also stood out positively.
There were sporadic mentions of issues such as outdated rooms, thin walls and occasional lapses in cleaning quality. However, the majority of the feedback remains overwhelmingly positive, painting a picture of a well-maintained and inviting establishment reflective of its commendable housekeeping standards.
Staff
Many reviews emphasize the responsiveness of the staff, noting their readiness to assist with problems and provide guidance. The front desk personnel are particularly noted for their ability to handle situations efficiently, whether it's resolving room changes or offering local advice. Specific staff members, such as Gulnara, Marat, Iza, Yalmaz, Burak, Oge and Aysel, receive special mentions for their exceptional service.
While there are occasional mentions of staff being unable to help in specific situations or language barriers, the overwhelming sentiment is that the staff’s friendly attitude and supportive nature greatly enhance the overall experience at the hotel. This exceptional service is often described as a highlight of guests' stays, contributing to the hotel's positive reputation.
Wi-Fi
However, there were some drawbacks mentioned. A few guests experienced intermittent connectivity issues or found the Wi-Fi to be slow at times. Additionally, concerns were raised about the security of the network as it is unsecured and requires no password, making it potentially unsafe to use. There were also mentions of having to pay for Wi-Fi despite it being advertised as free.
Overall, the Wi-Fi at Han Hotel seems to meet most guests' expectations, offering a generally reliable and fast internet experience, though improvements could be made in terms of consistency and security.
