I had a generally pleasant stay at Lionel Hotel Istanbul, which boasts beautiful modern architecture and spacious, clean rooms. The staff, particularly Kadriye and Can, were exceptionally accommodating, adding a personal touch to my experience. However, I found the location a bit remote from major attractions, and the room service didn't meet my expectations due to issues with menu variety and pricing. Overall, it was an enjoyable stay but with room for improvement. 😊

While the hotel is close to a metro station, it’s somewhat far from major tourist spots, requiring a taxi to reach the city center, which may not be ideal for every traveler.

My stay at Lionel Hotel Istanbul had both highlights and challenges. The architecture was stunning, creating a lovely atmosphere, but I faced some language barriers with the staff. While the complimentary breakfast was good and the cleaning staff were attentive, I found the reception service lacking in helpfulness at times. Overall, it was a good stay, but improvements in communication and dining service could enhance the experience. 😊
