The hotel was in a great location, very close to Hagia Sophia and the Blue mosque (2-4 mins) , with a short walk (10 mins) to the tram/ferry terminals. Staff were welcoming and nice. However, they didn't have our room available on arrival, so we were given a family room for the first night. We were then given our respective rooms the next day, but one of them wasn't what we had paid for with a sea view, which was disappointing and smaller. The rooms were clean, with good facilities. Cleaning staff were lovely and very accomodating. Breakfast was served at a restaurant about a minute's walk from the hotel. The food was good, with a generous variety to choose from.

The location and the staff are excellent. But room cleaning isn’t as good. only one female staff at breakfast in No.3 is looking at guests and talking in her language, almost like making fun or laughing about them, wasn’t nice to see. But apart from her every other staff from reception to restaurants are extremely kind and helpful. Breakfast options are very limited - this was meant to be our highlight, hence we chose a 4* hotel, we’ve stayed in other 4* close by with amazing breakfast options. lots of flies everywhere, air con not working, cat coming in dirty- apart from Breakfast options and area the hotel is good.

Good location but lacks basic hospitality!

Hotel was clean and modern. Location was very good, however, our stay was ruined by the fact that there was no hot water available and the heating system was not working effectively. We stayed during the end if Nivember ao it was cold and wet outdoors and we needed to be able to have a hot shower after a day of exploring in the cold and wet weather. On the first day of our stay we informed staff about the issue and were advised that there is a problem throughout tje hotel but this would be foxed in a few hours. Later that day it still wasn’t fixed. we complained again and were told tbey would fix the issue worh the water. The issue was never fixed througout our stay. We asked for another room to be able to shower in and tbey ioened up a vacant room for us to use the shower in, but there was also no hot water here. Shower temp was set in full and at the most, the water would tirn luke warm for 30 seconds before becoming freezing cold again. Each time we complained about the water, we were told someone would come up to look at it, so we were unable to relax in the room as we were waiting for staff but no one would come. Because of these issues our stay was unpleasant amd they inly good thing about the hotel was the location beaing in close proximity to all the main tourist attractions. The manager offered a free breakfast as compensation for not providing the basic services a hotel should provide which include heating and hot water, and we have left feeling unwell.

The Joyway Hotel offers reasonably priced and sizeable rooms with views of the sea and the daily tourist activity in Sultanahmet. Although it’s a walkable distance to the historical attractions, shopping and restaurants, the hotel is rather quiet and tranquil at night. The rooftop restaurant is very good and is a great place to relax and enjoy the beautiful views of the Bosphorus. The staff were very friendly and took care of all our needs and requests. We would certainly consider another stay at Joyway if we return to Istanbul again.
