I've spent 3 nights in Hotel Basilica. I was on a business trip, but fortunately I also have some free time to look around in this beautiful city. The hotel is quite comfortable, the rooms are big and quiet, equipped with all the facilities necessary for a pleasant stay. Location of the hotel is fantastic; it's in the middle of... More

I went with my brother and mother for a trip around Europe with Istanbul being the last stop. We arrived (back in Nov 2011) and looked around for a good price between hotels. We wanted to scout our hotel and knowing it was off season meant we had many choices. This one beat out every other places price and also... More

This is a very average little hotel which scores points mostly for its' location (you can see the Aya Sofya and the Blue Mosque from the terrace) and the views from the rooftop terrace where you'll have breakfast. The rooms are fine and are equipped with everything you need but don't have much charm, warmth or very good lighting. Some... More

Stayed here last month with my family. Its a nice little hotel in the heart of the tourist district. Everythings within a stone's throw. The view from the restaurant is breathtaking and the breakfast is quite 5 star (No lunch/dinner offered though). Very courteous and helpful staff. Not all rooms have a great view but the they are quite well... More

The hotel asked us to confirm our reservation (what we did) and charged by the same occasion our credit card. Afterward he informed us that the hotel was booked and he had to relocate us in a hotel not as... More

When we arrived in this hotel, they had the reservation printed out and asked us to pay in advance. Once we had payed, they started to explain that there is no free room any more and that they will bring us to another hotel outside the center. Of course we didn't agree and ended up looking for another hotel ourselves.... More

We were very disappointed as we got a room with balcony which was completely closed (no view at all, can you imagine?) instead of a big room with Bosporus view. We asked for another room, but the hotel was almost booked out. So we finally got another room, but which was very small, had no view, a bath tub that... More

When first entering the basilica hotel i noticed how cold it was inside, I thought to myself please dont let the rooms be this freezing. I was greeted by the main guy that seems to work there 24/7 (wish i had remembered his name) he got me my keys and off I went. The room was large, warm and clean.... More
