Not close to tourist attractions.
The Grand Tarabya is located in the Tarabya neighbourhood of Istanbul, about 11 miles from Fatih and Istanbul's famed tourist attractions. With heavy traffic prolonging car journeys, travellers can use the metro system - Haciosman station is 1.5 miles from the hotel - to visit the likes of the Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace.
negative:
Minor cleanliness concerns reported.
While most guests praise the well-kept hotel, a few guests report instances of minor cleanliness concerns during their stay. Reports indicate that rooms are sometimes dusty upon arrival, while some towels have seen better days.
negative:
Breakfast is tasty but expensive.
The hotel's breakfast
buffet is said to be expansive and tasty, but not all guests are unanimous in
their praise of the early morning meal. According to some, the breakfast comes
with an expensive price tag.
