Guest Reviews
Location
The area around the hotel is noted for being less touristy, yet it remains incredibly convenient for accessing a supermarket, restaurants, coffee shops, and essential shopping outlets. Positioned away from heavy traffic, the location makes it ideal for a relaxing stay. However, it's worth noting that while some found the location ideal, others pointed out it can feel somewhat industrial. Despite this, the convenience of public transport and proximity to Bayrampasa offers guests seamless travel experiences, while the spacious and well-appointed accommodations contribute to a comfortable stay.
Breakfast
However, not all reviews are glowing. A few guests feel that the breakfast lacks variety and quality expected from a five-star establishment, with some describing it as meager or dry. Despite this, for most guests, the selection is more than enough to satisfy different tastes, and the cleanliness of the breakfast area adds to the overall pleasant experience. While some diners suggest that the breakfast could improve, many find it a charming and satisfactory part of their stay at the hotel.
Rooms
Despite some initial setbacks, such as a musty smell or maintenance issues like loose wallpaper, these are usually addressed promptly by attentive staff, enhancing the overall guest experience. While some guests find certain rooms smaller than expected or were dissatisfied with their value for the price, many appreciate the pleasant, tidy environment.
Various room features, including the furnishings and views, are acknowledged positively, contributing to an overall well-appointed stay. The property itself maintains a high standard of hygiene, which is a recurring theme in guest reviews, despite some areas showing signs of age. Occasionally, issues such as inadequate heating or smaller room sizes are highlighted, but the emphasis remains on the overall quality, comfort, and spaciousness of the accommodations.

However, not all experiences were positive, with some guests expressing disappointment in the hotel's hygiene standards and occasional cleaning lapses during their stay. Some pointed out that the cleanliness level did not match the hotel's star rating, citing issues such as thin walls and occasional stains and mold. Despite these hiccups, the dedication to cleanliness at certain aspects remains a highlight for many guests. The hotel also benefits from a convenient location, especially for those visiting the nearby Koch University Hospital.

5 Star
The lack of amenities such as Turkish coffee at breakfast, even though it was listed on the menu, was a common point of frustration among guests, emphasizing a need for more attentive service. Additionally, the general state of cleanliness and overall quality of the amenities did not consistently meet the expectations typically associated with five-star hotels. Room service is advertised as available 24 hours, but perceptions regarding its efficiency vary among visitors.
While there are positive opinions favoring the hotel, the overarching sentiment is that Grand Makel Hotel Topkapi should strive to enhance various aspects to truly live up to the esteemed five-star rating it claims.
