Booked a 3-beds-room for 5 nights which was really big enough. The room was clean. Breakfast was really more than enough. Neverthesless, if you wish a 5* hotel, the hotel Samil is not perfect for you. But if you look for a hotel with the perfect location for sightseeing in Istanbul and don't want to spend too much money, you... More

Me and my partner arrived at the Hotel to find our double room not ready. Instead we were given a triple room for one night.

They double booked our room and declared that it was not their fault. How ridiculous. After a huge arguement, they put us in a different hotel that was close by. This new hotel was completely spotless and serves breakfast. Hotel Samil promised us a discount but did not give one when the bill came up.

We stayed there for two days. We were positively surprised by the attitude of the host and the staff. They advised us where should we go in the city . The location of the hotel too is advantegous because it is near the harbour as well as other famous buildings like Hagia Sofia,Blue Mosgue(Sultanhme),TOPKAPI Palace,Grand Bazaar and Spice Market ....
