This place is awful. Looks somewhat new from the outside but old and tiny when you go in. The issue is the bald guy at the reception desk. He's a conman and very dishonest. I had a paid reservation booked in advance but when I arrived to the hotel baldy said he didn't see one in his system and that I needed to pay for my stay. I even showed him my reservation but he still claimed it was not in the system. These people are crooks, steer FAR from here!!

Beautiful ocean view room in Beyoglu
Uphill area, opposite to Soho house but I had better views of ocean from my room than Soho.Cabd at times had difficulty finding the area but thankfully it is near Shishane metro station,shishane2 busstop and across the road Shishane 1. Bed is a bit too soft. Rooms are cosy. Wow view and windows open though an annoying drummer group that charged itself at dusk downstairs can be annoying.Loads of good eats and supermarket few steps closer but not suitable for families with stroller as area needs slot of hiking which I enjoyed. Istiklal street ,cafes 2 minutes away. They got a night manager who is pleasant and bell boy helpful. Front desk manager in the morning is not very welcoming though. And he made a mistake with my room without even checking the catagory of booking.Upon my complain he said the ocean view catagory was full. Half and hour later the bell boy quickly arranged my desired room n helped me shift which was prompt.
Overall it was a very pleasant stay.Fridge,coffee maker n coffee supplies in room n a mini bar.Breakfast is ample but only between 8to10Am.

Great service
Excellent service! The hotel staff did everything possible to make our short stay particularly good. They brought our luggage from a nearby Airbnb, prepared coffee before leaving at 3 in the morning for an early flight and arranged the taxi for the trip to the airport.

Elan Hotel Review
Helpful friendly staff. Good location.
Hotel room was tiny. Plug socket broken. Shower too small so curtain sticks to your body when showering.
Rooms on back side way too noisy. Can here bars and clubs all night and morning.

Great location, nicer staff.
My original room had a window that did NOT closer properly so it was noisy for to the air conditioner/ heater units just outside of window. The hotel graciously changed my room for a much quieter over while I was out sightseeing.
The room was small but adequate. The bed was comfortable and wifi was good.
Breakfast was quite nice including a self service cappuccino machine.
The location was great, just a few minutes walk from the lovely pedestrian only street.
Only criticism was the airport shuttle which cost 25 Euros and was 1 hour late. The hotel is easily reached by there metro which is how I left to go to the airport. The metro cost only a few Turkish lira and is only about 400 meters away from the hotel.

Hotel lacks comfort and customer care
Room had very strong smell of cigarettes,bed contained dirty bedding sheets. The curtain pole was held up by toilet role.When attempting to use the shower the water pressure constantly flactuated and risk of hot water burns increased. The staff were constantly reminded to ensure that toiletries were replenished.
