We didn't have time, so stayed here only for 4 nights, but everything was really good. On-site restaurant The Grill OcakbasI was a bonus, had dinner there.

    The room at Elite World Grand Istanbul Basin Ekspres was like a cozy oasis in the bustling city. The 24-hour room service and Smart TV made me feel pampered, and the complimentary toiletries added a lovely touch. As a traveler who values comfort and convenience, this room exceeded my expectations.

    I found the pillow menu a bit overwhelming.

    This hotel is truly luxurious and fulfilled all of my exclusive amenities needs. The service was outstanding, from the friendly and helpful staff to the incredible Spa & wellness centre. The indoor swimming pool, Sauna, and Spa lounge were all spotless and very relaxing. The massage I received was one of the best I've had. The Halal food served at the restaurant was delicious, and I appreciated the special diet menus available. The private facilities were exclusive and added to the overall experience.

    The only minor issue I encountered was that the location was not very convenient for sightseeing. However, I didn't mind as I spent most of my time in the hotel's beautiful garden area or lounging by the outdoor swimming pool.

    The brassiere Grill Restaurant at the hotel was a delightful surprise. The exquisite Turkish and World cuisines were just like a symphony for my taste buds. The attentive service made me feel like a VIP, and I couldn't help but compare the experience to dining in a Michelin-starred restaurant.

    Breakfast buffet needs variety.

    I chose this hotel for attending a leadership summit, and I found its accommodation facilities to meet high quality standards for my business travels. The event facilities at this hotel, including the conference space and meeting rooms, were up to par and facilitated a seamless experience for the summit.

    The one service that I missed for my work at the hotel was a more efficient room service response time.

    The hotel is conveniently located close to the mall, making it easy for guests to do some shopping or enjoy a meal. Additionally, it is situated near the city center, providing easy access to popular tourist attractions. The proximity to Ataturk airport is also a plus for travelers. The rooms are spacious and well-decorated, offering a comfortable stay. The service is exceptional, with staff members going above and beyond to assist guests. The breakfast menu is diverse, allowing guests to enjoy a variety of options.

    Some guests have mentioned that the housekeeping could use some improvement, as they had to ask for water in their rooms before receiving it.

    I stayed at this hotel for a week due to a surgery and needed a spacious room. The hotel's decor was beautiful and the staff, particularly Tanju, Selcuk, and the restaurant hostess, were friendly. The club suite I initially booked was fantastic, but since I am a smoker, I switched to a comfort suite. I hope they offer smoking club suites in the future. it was a classy and elite hotel that I absolutely loved.

    I recommend this hotel.

The spacious rooms were clean and well-maintained, and the stunning view from the 17th floor was breathtaking. The gym, pool, jacuzzi, and sauna were all top-notch and provided a much-needed dose of relaxation. The breakfast spread was delicious, with a wide variety of options to choose from. I had a wonderful experience at Elite World Grand and I will definitely be recommending this hotel to others.

    The hotel had a modern design and clean facilities, especially the lobby area and restaurant which were very extravagant. The location was key, with convenient access to major attractions and transportation options. One of the advantages that I enjoyed was the big size of the hotel room, which provided plenty of space for comfort during my stay.

    The service at times was slow and I had to chase staff for my breakfast order. There was also a language barrier which made it difficult to address any complaints or issues.

    This hotel has a great value for money and is a good option for conferences or holidays. The rooms are spacious, with comfortable beds and pillows. The breakfast is comprehensive and very tasty. There is a large indoor rainforest with birds on the conference level, which is very attractive and unusual. The swimming pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, and gym are perfect. The hotel taxi service is professional and helpful.

    The hotel is a little out of the way so it would have been nice to have been nearer a metro or bus station.

    The hotel's warm and elegant decor created a cozy atmosphere, with beautiful rugs and comfortable seating areas that were perfect for a senior like me to sit and relax. The general areas were easily accessible, with spacious corridors and well-placed handrails that made navigating the hotel easy for senior guests.

    I would hope for a better vacation experience for senior people if the children working there were more attentive to the specific needs and requests of elderly guests.
