  Experience not the best

  20 Apr 2026

  1-star reviewHotel Nanda completely lost my respect, and I would never recommend this hotel to another traveler again.What makes this so ugly is that I actually used to speak highly of this place. I stayed here for two months in the past and had such a positive experience that I confidently recommended it to my family for their trip to Istanbul from July 12 to July 22.Before telling them to book, I called the hotel and confirmed the rate. I was told $100 per night and was told that was the discounted price. Based on that, I told my sister to go ahead and call and book the room for my parents and nephew.Then the second my sister called from the United States to actually make the booking, the price suddenly became $160 per night.That is not a small mix-up. That is not confusion. That is exactly the kind of shady, inconsistent pricing that makes travelers feel targeted and played with.And let me make this crystal clear: the money was never the problem. If Hotel Nanda had said $160 per night from the very beginning, I would have paid it. No issue. I can respect a higher price. What I do not respect is dishonesty, wasted time, and being made to look foolish in front of my own family after I personally vouched for this hotel.That is what makes this so offensive. Not the number itself. The principle.You do not tell one person $100, then tell their U.S.-based family member $160 when it is time to actually book, and then expect people to trust you. Whether intentional or not, that gives the impression that pricing changes depending on who is calling and where they are calling from. That feels exploitative, disrespectful, and deeply unprofessional.I have traveled extensively and rarely experienced anything that left this kind of impression. That is exactly what ruins trust. A city can be beautiful, safe, peaceful, historic, and full of charm, but the second businesses start playing games with pricing and making foreigners feel like walking wallets, all of that gets overshadowed very quickly.That is what people need to understand. Travelers do not just remember the view or the hotel bed. They remember how they were treated. They remember whether they were respected. And nothing destroys goodwill faster than feeling like you are being quoted one price privately and a different price the second your location changes.Hotel Nanda did not just lose one booking. They lost my family’s booking, my future business, and every recommendation I ever would have given them again. I used to defend this hotel. After this, absolutely not.If you are a foreign traveler, get every single quote in writing before making plans around anything this hotel tells you on the phone. Based on my experience, their word clearly meant nothing once it was time to actually pay.I hope this review helps other travelers avoid the same experience.

  pity about the service

  06 Jun 2019

  rooms are fine, if a little small. set over 5 floors with a lift in a very busy commercial fashion district. rooftop seating area with good views. problem comes with the staff. they give incorrect information and are incapable of even booking a taxi

  Decent clean hotel and great location

  28 Nov 2018

  I went with my mum for 3nights for a short break. HOTEL: We were placed on the 5th floor room 502, with a small balcony (which you cant go on) as its too small. There isnt much views as the hotel is based in a side street so onky view you will get is of other buildings.Room itself was spacious and the beds were comfy. The walls however are thin so if your nieghbour is playing the tv loud then you can hear it unfortunatley.The bathroom was small however toilet and basin were decent size and also the shower which had a hairdryer. Note as this is a basic hotel, there is NO IRON BOARD OR IRON available even on request. The tv was a very tiny small plasma tv with only 1 english channel which didnt bother us as we were out all the time.BREAKFAST: We had b&b as I cannot start my day without a good breakfast. Im not a fussy eater so for me breakfast was good. It included meat susage, eggs, lentil, fried vegetables, assortments of cheeses, brown and white bagutte bread cut up into slices, there was also tomatoes and cucumbers and yoghurt and fried pastry with cheese inside. I tried everything throught my stay and it was always hot and tastey. There was also cerial, selection of olives, and sweet spreads. I didnt really try much of that as i was full from the hot food. Drinks: they had coffe machine which i had and loved and tea that you could help yourself to and add milk and sugar. They also had juice machine but i never tried this. LOCATION: its excellent. Very close to everything. Tip is instead of gettin the metro get the underground if you want to get to taksim, it will get you there within 5minutes instead of 20!Its also only 3stops to blue mosque and only another few stops there after to the ferry port, spice bazar, grand bazar etc. Also dont forget to get the istanbul travel card which you can use on all modes of transport. You only need 1 and you can use it for upto 5 people i think or 6? You basically just top it up as you go and costs only 6tl for the inital card and then i just toped it up for 20tl for me and my mum daily which lasted us all day including the ferry. There is also lots of places to eat just outside the hotel, so even if you dont get b&b you can go out and eat as the shops open from morning prayer which is around 6am. Overall was a good hotel and an excellent base to get around with a decent brwakfast.
