I had a wonderful experience at Rayelin Hotel during my stay! The staff were incredibly friendly and supportive, making my arrival smooth and welcoming. The hotel was spotlessly clean, and the breakfast buffet had an impressive variety. However, the spa's layout was a bit awkward, especially in the changing areas, which could be improved for comfort.

My Standard Double Room was not only clean but also very quiet, allowing for a great night's sleep. I appreciated the daily cleaning and bottled water provided. The only issue was the robe provided, which felt a bit small.

The spa facilities, including the pool, sauna, and steam bath, were beautiful and well-maintained. However, I found the towel situation a bit inconvenient since I had to fetch them from my room.

I had a charming stay at Rayelin Hotel in Istanbul's Old City, but there were some bumps along the way. The facilities, especially the indoor pool and sauna, were fantastic and really added to my relaxation. However, I encountered issues like a broken jacuzzi and a big flag obstructing my room's view, which was disappointing. Overall, it's a lovely hotel with great amenities and a wonderful breakfast selection.

I recently spent 6 nights at Rayelin Hotel Istanbul Old City and overall, it was a fantastic experience. The service was really good, especially from Sultan, who really made me feel welcomed and comfortable. However, the breakfast area could use some improvements, as it lacked natural light, which was a bit of a downside.

The hotel offered great amenities, including room service and assistance with organizing tours. However, the swimming cap policy seemed unfair, as it differentiated between tourists and locals.
