The location of this hotel is excellent--located across a narrow, untrafficked street from Gulhane Park, an easy walk from Topkapi Palace and Aya Sofya. Because the street is not really a through-street, our taxi left us off near the tram stop. The tram is only 150 feet away, but it was a little disconcerting rolling our bags to the door of the hotel. Nevertheless, Taya Hatun Street is very quiet. We felt very safe on the streets, even at night. The staff is professional, the breakfasts were hearty with great variety, and our stay was very enjoyable. Our room on the second floor was rather narrow and small, but we do not travel with the expectation of spending much time in the room other than sleeping. The beds were comfortable.
I highly recommend this hotel. Great location, walking distance to Ayasofya, Topkapi and other major attractions. We stayed in Deluxe room, top floor with balcony and view over park. Super comfortable bad. Room was spacious and clean with awesome vintage aesthetics. But best of all is personnel. This was a birthday trip and upon arrival we were greeted with a cake and candles. They were consistently making sure our stay was comfortable. Everybody on staff spoke good English. Food places that were recommended to us were spot on. Also, great breakfast! Every day there were some new additions to the buffet, like different kinds of omelets, pastries and spreads. Will definitely stay at this hotel whenever we visit Istanbul again. What a charming place.
All staff were excellent, very hospitable, helpful and reliable. The service queality was exceptional. I was satisfied with everything they did for me. The breakfast was so delicious. The room was so comfortable and spacious. All room facilities workewd very well. The location was perfect, very convenient for both sightseeing and business. I stayed this hotel twice, in September 2022 and stayed again in January 2023. I will choose this hotel again when I visit Istanbul next time. This hotel is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in many countries. このホテルには2022年9月に初めて4泊滞在し、えらく満足して、2023年1月に再度3泊滞在。スタッフは皆覚えていてくださって、再訪を歓迎してくれた。 私はサービスにはうるさい方で、辛口レビューも多いが、このホテルには大満足。日本人の高い要求水準にも負けない高水準のサービスとホスピタリティに感動した。 Sirkeciという最高に便利な場所にありながら、広い部屋とリーズナブルな価格。スタッフは最高。朝食も種類豊富で大満足。部屋の設備も整っており、ウェルカムレターとお菓子も置いてあった。何かお願いごとをしても、こちらの要求通りにしっかりスピーディに対応してもらえる。これまで世界中の数々のホテルに滞在してきましたが、最高のホテルの1つです。…
A return visit at the end of November 2022, to the best small hotel in the city, IMO! Friendly staff, clean, well appointed rooms, and a delightful breakfast buffet. The hotel is being discovered by independent travelers from many countries. It was interesting to listen to the different languages being spoken at breakfast. The breakfast buffet is large, with many choices, and for different kind of diets. In the afternoon, little Simit sandwiches are served with Turkish tea. A gréât way to unwind after sightseeing and shopping. Just an FYI… the store vendors on the small street are friendly and polite. They may say hello as you pass, but none of them do the « hello, lady « annoying conversation like in some parts of the city. The hotel location is in sight of the Gulhane tram stop, and from there, it’s easy to access the historical attractions. I hope to return again to this oasis of calm and comfort in a truly magical city. The staff could not make me feel more welcome!…
The hotel is historic and lovely, and the staff is positively amazing-kind, welcoming, and pampering. You will be well cared for! The setting is quiet and close to a large park, as well as all of the major tourist sights in Istanbul. In addition to all of the rest, the breakfast is wonderful. Highly recommend!
Delightful safe small hotel adjacent to Gulhane Park. It’s location away from bars, restaurants and busy streets meant that it was very quiet after dark (noise went on a little later on the weekend), yet also immediately adjacent to Tram stop and a few blocks from main metro/ train station. What an ideal jumping off point for tourism and a VERY good value for the $$. Nice breakfast and other amenities. Our only complaint was that the rooms were hot and the AC was disabled (I didn’t ask about turning it on since it was quiet enough to just open the windows). I’m sure they would have done something if I asked as the service was excellent. As an example, when leaving we had a car to the airport that was inadvertently taken by another family. Upon realizing what had occurred the staff furiously worked the phones to get us another one and then two of the staff carried our bags several blocks to a main intersection to meet the new Cab, then they refunded our money for the trouble and then the manager called later to apologize and ensure that we made it to the airport alright. I hope to return to Istanbul one day and would definitely stay here.…
The hotel is superbly located for exploring Istanbul, the rooms are clean, and all facilities work. The staff are brilliant - friendly, efficient, and always helpful. Cannot actually think of anything that is less than excellent.
The staff at Sirkeci are friendly, warm, helpful and welcoming. And the location is ideal, especially if you want to walk to the famous destinations at the Old City of Istanbul: Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace and many more. Restaurants are everywhere. The tram is a 2-minute walk and can easily take you to the other side of the bridge and to Kabatas station where you can get on a tour of the Bosphorus. But that's not all. The bed is firm, there are bottles of water, A/C and heating system and the breakfast is pretty varied. If you arrive later in the evening, don't be fooled if it seems quiet. This hotel seems popular when you see how many people come down for breakfast.
Perfect Hotel, very central, walking distance from most places. View is also really beautiful. The bed is really comfortable and everything is so clean! Loved the breakfast there. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Definitely going back there again! THANK YOU!!!!
Excellent hotel for a relaxing trip. Friendly staff. Good location near Hagia Sophia and Topkapi, around 6 mins walking. Rooms are spacious. Very good Wi Fi. Good food for breakfast, various. Hotel located in old city with around a-lot of restaurants for launch and dinner. We recommend for family or group visitors
