My stay at Yazar Hotel was a mixed bag. The location was fantastic, close to major historical attractions, and the staff were incredibly friendly and eager to help. However, the noise levels were quite disruptive, affecting my sleep, especially on the first floor. Overall, I appreciated the cleanliness and modern decor but found the environment less restful than I hoped. 🌟😴

My stay at the Yazar Hotel had its highs and lows. The location was fantastic, putting me within a short walk from major historical landmarks like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. However, noise was a constant issue, especially from the lobby and neighboring rooms, which detracted from the overall experience. The breakfast was decent, and the shower in my room was a notable highlight, but some shortcomings in maintenance and service really stood out.
Rooms

I spent 5 nights in the penthouse room which was spacious, but had some maintenance issues. The sloped roof made moving around a bit tricky, and there was noticeable mold in the shower area. While the housekeeping did a good job, the room could definitely use some updates and better soundproofing.
Service

The reception staff were friendly and helpful, but I encountered a few issues that weren't addressed efficiently. For example, I had issues with the TV that took multiple days to resolve, and the night staff's attentiveness could be improved, especially during early morning checkouts.

Yazar Hotel's location was definitely a plus, being just a short walk away from iconic sights. However, it was on a quiet street, and I faced some noise from the school nearby during peak hours, which might disrupt late sleepers.

Breakfast offered a nice variety of Turkish dishes and was generally enjoyable. However, for those wanting to grab a late-night snack, options were limited as most nearby eateries closed early.

The hotel had potential with its boutique feel and rooftop area, but there were maintenance issues like flooding in the lift and inconsistent utility service. While they offered complimentary bottled water and tea/coffee around the clock, the overall facilities could use better management.
