Curio Collection by Hilton Hotels in Istanbul

Overall a really good stay and we felt lucky to have chosen this hotel. But like all hotels there are some things we wish we had known beforehand. The good - the location is perfect and literally right next to the Sophia Hagia mosque. We stayed in house 24 which is on the old street behind the mosque. Perfect for exploring the old historic parts of Istanbul. Lots of restaurants and cafes everywhere - the room was lovely and very comfortable and in a traditional style - the breakfast buffet was copious and varied. Even better it was free with my Hilton Gold status - the staff were all wonderfully friendly and helpful - the hotel organised airport transfers for us and glad we used them as pickup and dropoff needed to be coordinated with an electric golf cart The less good - the street is noisy at night, especially at the weekend. Lots of people talking loudly and taking photos. It is supposed to be largely traffic free but seeme to be lots of cars and trucks for deliveries especially early morning. So bring your ear plugs if you are a light sleeper - the breakfast buffet place is small and often no seats inside and hard to move around. The Green House is an alternative for a traditional served breakfast but when we went there it was deserted! You can't win sometimes 🤣 - getting coffee at breakfast buffet was a bit chaotic. It wasn't clear if you ordered it from the staff or at the coffee station. So the poor barista was often overwhelmed - the historic cistern bath is normally a cost extra (but free with Hilton Gold) and you have to book it. I thought from prior research it was open to guests all the time. When we did make it, it was lovely but water temperature more like a swimming pool than a hot tub so 20 mins is plenty of time And the downright annoying - the house we stayed in had 3 other rooms. We never saw a single guest. But the hotel staff had offices there and there were literally hundreds of comings and goings a day, with a front door that slammed incessantly. I asked them to try and soften the close which they did but didn't really solve the problem. So a great experience overall and thanks for a great stay.
