We stayed in Sphendon for 5 days and it was a really warm and unforgettable stay. The best thing about it apart from ideal location(10 minutes away from Blue Mosque), a cosy garden with an ancient wall and a terrace overlooking the sea was the staff. It is a family-run place so in every little thing you can feel gentle... More

Very welcoming staff, helping to answer all the different questions and requests that we had. The room was clean, bathroom was spotless, the extra bed prepared for our daughter was also prepared as booked. A perfect place for a stay at Istanbul, at walking distance from the Great Blue Mosquee, and Aya Sofia, and close to Akbiyik Cad, a street... More

This is a nice hotel in a very convenient location, but what really sets it apart is the customer service. We only stayed one night, but nothing was too much trouble for the staff. We arrived very early in the morning, but were able to check into our room. We had to leave before breakfast the next morning, but they... More

A great find in Sultanhamet. Clean and comfortable rooms, great breakfast, very helpful staff and the best location. Easy walk to all the sights and the tram. Spent 4 great nights in April. Close to good food with a staff that helped with directions or anything you needed. Two brothers were the best. Comfortable rooftop with Bosphorus views. Give it... More

I would say that the staff is the most pleasant part of my staying at this hotel. All the people were friendly and ready for help. There is no doubt that the location is very convenient to discover the ancient city. What is more important, it was quiet in my room and I could relax after the long walkings. The... More

This is a very average hotel in comparison to the other boutique hotels in Sultanahmet. The rate was too high for the quality of service we got. There was no elevator (not a big issue), no iron or board, water was leaking from the toilet bath area and the check out time was earlier than other hotels. I would not... More

We loved this hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room we had was small but perfect. There can be a lot of steps depending on what floor you are on but this was not a problem for us. The in-room wifi was fast and access was easy. You will be a five minute walk from the Blue... More

This spot was recommended to me by my Rick Steves Travel Guide and I was very happy I took the suggestion. This little boutique hotel is fantastic, clean, well run, quiet, and very well positioned in the old part of the city on a small winding neighborhood street. It is about a 6-7 min. walk up the hill to the... More
