Elan hotel is a excellent choice. The location is near everywhere. It’s very close to Galata Tower, Karaköy, the Galata bridge and Eminönü.
When it comes to the hotels stuff. I must say that they are very hospitable. The way I’m used to when it comes to Turkey. The service is great and the breakfast is amazing. You will have a typical Turkish breakfast,which we love.
We had a room for 4 people. And it was plenty of space and comfortable beds. The only thing is that you hear the noice from the street. It will be solved with just an earplugs.
Last but not least, I want to say that Uğur bey at the reception is a very service minded, genuine and hospitable person. He helped us a lot! We are so grateful to him.
We will definitely stay at this hotel next time we come to Istanbul. Thank you Elan Hotel!
This was part of a longer trip, and I already wrote my review of the Elan Hotel. I feel bad for the staff, who had to deal with a lot of unhappy guests. The hotel’s location is good, but as for the amenities, there really weren’t any to begin with. I honestly think Expedia should remove this hotel from its listings because of the poor quality. The location is great, but the quality is awful. Do Not Stay There!
I reserved four rooms for myself and my family for a week. The rooms were extremely small. At first, I was given a room where I couldn’t even open my suitcase. The shower didn’t work either. They did change my room, but the receptionist insisted the shower was working, apparently implying that water was coming from somewhere below, not the showerhead.
The property is very old and needs renovation. Do not trust the pictures. Even though they tried to change our rooms and keep us happy, the carpets were in terrible condition. In one room, the AC didn’t work. The “fridge” in the room is more like a cupboard.
They also keep the boiled eggs for themselves and don’t share them with the guests. Sometimes they do offer them, but it seems like they mostly take the eggs for themselves, and by 7:30 a.m. they’re already saying the eggs are finished. Spend a little more and do yourself a favor: stay somewhere else. It was difficult to call Expedia from Turkey to cancel; otherwise, I would have. Check the pictures below, you’ll see what I mean. Every person who walked in was unhappy.
Elan otel; genelde Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyeti vatandaşlarını misafir eden, Kıbrısı ve Kıbrıslıları en iyi şekilde ağırlayan çok güzel bir otel. Hatta eğer benim gibi oza kahve (kıbrıs Mağusa kahvesi) bile bulunduran harika bir otel. Teşekkürler🙏🙏🙏. Daha öncede olduğu gibi istanbul seyahatlerimde kuşkusuz konaklayacağım ve yalnız gezen bir gezgin olarak güvende olduğumu hissettiğim ender yerlerden biri.. ....
Es war Hervorragend, Preisliche Leistung sehr gut für so eine super Lage und nettes Personal. Zimmer sind sehr gut ausgestattet. Ich war mehr als zufrieden.
This place is awful. Looks somewhat new from the outside but old and tiny when you go in. The issue is the bald guy at the reception desk. He's a conman and very dishonest. I had a paid reservation booked in advance but when I arrived to the hotel baldy said he didn't see one in his system and that I needed to pay for my stay. I even showed him my reservation but he still claimed it was not in the system. These people are crooks, steer FAR from here!!
Uphill area, opposite to Soho house but I had better views of ocean from my room than Soho.Cabd at times had difficulty finding the area but thankfully it is near Shishane metro station,shishane2 busstop and across the road Shishane 1. Bed is a bit too soft. Rooms are cosy. Wow view and windows open though an annoying drummer group that charged itself at dusk downstairs can be annoying.Loads of good eats and supermarket few steps closer but not suitable for families with stroller as area needs slot of hiking which I enjoyed. Istiklal street ,cafes 2 minutes away. They got a night manager who is pleasant and bell boy helpful. Front desk manager in the morning is not very welcoming though. And he made a mistake with my room without even checking the catagory of booking.Upon my complain he said the ocean view catagory was full. Half and hour later the bell boy quickly arranged my desired room n helped me shift which was prompt.
Overall it was a very pleasant stay.Fridge,coffee maker n coffee supplies in room n a mini bar.Breakfast is ample but only between 8to10Am.

Yazanlarla alakasız Bi otel.
Oda deniz manzaralı yazıyordu ve fiyatı diğer odalardan pahalıydı.fakat deniz manzarası yoktu. 4.kattan oda verdiler. Banyo ve oda fotoğraftakilerden çok daha küçüktü. Yani fotoğraflar tamamen aldatmaca. Verdiğim paraya üzüldüm. Keşke standart Bi oda seçseydim.
Bütün çalışanlar çok güleryüzlü ve anlayışlılar. Otelden saatlerce geç çıkmamıza rağmen hiçbir sorun yaşamadık. Genel olarak parasına göre iyi hizmet aldık..
Teşekkürler
Amazing place with a friendly stuff in a great location. All stuff was super helpful when needed and the location is amazing as it is few minutes walking to metro station, galata tower, and Isteklal street. The area was very safe at night.

Great service
Excellent service! The hotel staff did everything possible to make our short stay particularly good. They brought our luggage from a nearby Airbnb, prepared coffee before leaving at 3 in the morning for an early flight and arranged the taxi for the trip to the airport.

Elan Hotel Review
Helpful friendly staff. Good location.
Hotel room was tiny. Plug socket broken. Shower too small so curtain sticks to your body when showering.
Rooms on back side way too noisy. Can here bars and clubs all night and morning.
