Hotel Diamond City

“If you want Hilton quality pay Hilton prices”

It really annoys me when people pay for normal/middle range hotels and expect the red carpet treatment . Maybe there problem is there living there lives disillusioned.

It really annoys me when people pay for normal/middle range hotels and expect the red carpet treatment . Maybe there problem is there living there lives disillusioned. Can't see why anyone would book in anywhere and look for negative points. If your type of person who thinks, " gosh , i was in the room and could hear people talking in the hall " or " the hotel was terrible , i was in the shower and the water went cold for a second !! ".....please don't stay at hotels like The Diamond or better still please don't go to Turkey . Yes the Diamond wasn't perfect but the beds were really comfy , the breakfast was not the best but it was very eatable but most importantly the staff were really helpful and guess what ....they had good sense of humor . We stayed for 3 days in February and the hotel played a part in a great experience exploring Istanbul . So let the haters hate but take it from a well traveled man this hotel is worth the price you will pay .

“Not a 4* as we were told”

The hotel is located just behind the Olivium outlet center which has a wide variety for bargain shopping. This can be its best advantage. It is a 5-10 minutes walk to the Kazlicesme metro station which can take you around to the old city. You can also take a minibus from Olivium to Zeytinburnu metr… lisää

The hotel is located just behind the Olivium outlet center which has a wide variety for bargain shopping. This can be its best advantage. It is a 5-10 minutes walk to the Kazlicesme metro station which can take you around to the old city. You can also take a minibus from Olivium to Zeytinburnu metro station which does take quite a lot of time to get there as the minibus appears to run through the whole neighborhood before it stops at the final station. In terms of cleanliness I should say that the rooms were clean. I do not recommend you to stay at the last floor as the noise from the chairs moving in the restaurant will annoy you 24/7. We complained about the sound and we were given another room which was also not sound-free. The reception was not fluent in English which was hard to communicate with. Also the walls of the rooms were very thin and you could hear the sound of your neighboring residents. The breakfast buffet was fine. The WiFi kept on disconnecting in our room and we had too reconnect to 3 different accounts each time. The overall service was not like a 4* considering the fact that you could not ask for any service because of the poor English! My experience: you can find better hotels with better location and service at the same price in Istanbul.
