I had a great time at Hotel Yigitalp Istanbul mainly due to its prime location, which was super close to public transport and major attractions. However, my room was pretty small and lacked a view, plus the breakfast felt a bit repetitive. The staff was accommodating and helped a lot, but there were moments when I felt the recommendations were off.

My room was modern but quite small, with no tub and faced a wall. I asked for a king bed, but ended up with two single beds pushed together, which wasn't ideal.

I had a decent stay at Hotel Yigitalp, thanks to its prime location near major attractions like the Grand Bazaar and Hagia Sophia. The staff was generally friendly and the hotel was clean, but I was disappointed by the small room size and poor soundproofing. Breakfast was also a letdown, lacking variety and authenticity compared to my previous visits.

The room was quite small, making it hard to move around and unpack my suitcase. I could barely find space for my things, which was frustrating, especially since it didn't match the photos I saw online.
