+
Strengths

- Practical amenities — 24-hour reception, express check-in/out, luggage storage, safe deposit box, and room service cover the basics reliably.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms rating trails the rest — At 7, the room score is the weakest category — lower than service, value, and staff. Reviews are positive, but the score hints at some inconsistency.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Close check-in window — Check-in is only possible between 01:30 and 14:00 — late arrivals after 2 pm may need to arrange alternatives with the 24-hour reception.
- Limited room types — Only two room categories are offered — a triple and a guest room with one king bed — which may not suit travellers needing twins or suites.

The bottom line
Pelican House Hotel earns its place as a solid, no-frills base for exploring Istanbul. The location near Aksaray tram and metro is a genuine asset, and the staff's helpfulness is the standout feature. Rooms are clean but not outstanding — the 7 rating reflects that. For the price (from £67), it's a fair trade if you plan to spend most of your time out and about.
7.5A well-located, staff-driven stay — best for travellers who prioritize transport access and a welcoming team over room luxury.
