Monaco Hotel

The room is clean and cozy. The hotel is suitable for those who like shopping. Very good breakfast!

it is i nice descent hotel with a good breakfast and it is near to Aksaray main road

I stayed here as part of an Explore tour for one night at the beginning of the tour and three nights after. The hotel is average. It is close to the tram line but to get from the tram stop to the hotel at night involves walking down a deserted and dark alley way so I didn't feel safe going out at night alone. The shower recess in the first room was so small I could touch both sides with my elbows. At least my room had a window, one person in our group was given a room without a window. The second room was better and the shower was bigger although I did have the shower door open when sitting on the toilet. I thought it was stingy of the hotel not to provide bottled water. There was a kettle but no cups to use, only glasses. The rooms have no soundproofing and I could hear the conversation of people in the room next to me. The airconditioning is controlled by the hotel so it was impossible to have it at a setting I wanted. I found the breakfast very average. There was no toaster for the stale bread provided on two occasions, no orange juice, no pastries, no eggs except boiled ones. Some of the food appeared to be left overs from the previous night. Quite disappointing. The beds were clean and comfortable but the towels were a bit threadbare and scratchy. Overall, I've stayed at worse but I've also stayed at better.

I stayed here as part of an Explore tour, plus added on a couple of nights to see more of Istanbul. It's in a convenient location...the tram and major sights are a short walk away, plus the Havaist 12 to IST is also less than 10 min walk. Best of all is the breakfast... best I've had on my 19 day trip. Chef Ale is outstanding. His breakfast is "breakfast, lunch and dinner" all in one! Salads, fruit, cheese, pastries, soups, meats, eggs, great coffee, etc. etc ... there's nothing you can't find in this breakfast buffet. The dining room is immaculately clean with staff always tidying up.

In a quiet side street, close to the central tram the Monaco is no Royal palace, but it certainly did the job at the start of our Explore Turkish Road Trip. And with one of the best breakfast’s this side of Ankara, you really can’t go wrong. Small lifts take you up 7 floors to the roof top restaurant. The basics they get right. Good bed, hot shower and delicious breakfast. Staff helpful and being located less than 20 minutes to the Blue Mosque, this place does the job
