"It was ok to stay a couple of nights, I wouldn’t stay longer. For me, the location was a little loud, the hotel is located on a very busy road. It’s a new hotel, it feels a little like they’ve not finished setting it up. Internet was good and the staff were friendly. Breakfast is served in the cafe next door, it was generally good but you’re expected to pay for any extras that are not included such as coffee and water!"

Wyndham Grand Istanbul Kalamis Marina Hotel

Wyndham Grand Istanbul Kalamis Marina Hotel

8/10 Good
"We found the hotel to be luxurious and very clean. However the big downfall for us was the very busy, noisy traffic on the road at the front of the hotel. Unfortunately our room was at the front of the hotel and even with the window closed you could hear the traffic noise day and throughout the night. It made it very difficult to relax and we had constant disrupted sleep at night. In hindsight we should have requested to change rooms to the back of the hotel but we had unpacked and settled in our room and did not realise how much the traffic noise would affect us. Other than that it was a pleasant stay and the hotel is conveniently located."
