Our family of four went for a recent 6 night holiday to Istanbul from New York. We chose the Sirkeci Konak based on the great reviews from other trip advisor members and it did not disappoint. While our chosen family room set up (2 rooms adjoining with attached bath each) was a little smaller than expected and not facing the... More

We stayed here 2 nights in early May and cannot say enough about this charming and special small hotel. From the moment we were met at the airport until we left with the staff standing on the curb and waving farewell, every moment was enjoyable. Our large room overlooking Guilhame park (storks in the trees), was a delight with comfortable... More

Agah was amazing. he went above and beyond for me. The doorman were really nice and I miss everybody already.They offer so many great things. I was... More

The Sirkeci Konak deserves all the accolades it receives. We were delighted with every aspect of our stay at this splendid hotel. The staff always had a smile and a 'hello' and were genuinely interested in making sure that we were comfortable and we were made to feel very welcome. Our room was on the top floor, very quiet and... More

We traveled to Istanbul earlier this month (May, 2012) and honestly, I had my reservations. When we arrived at the Sirkeci Konak, I was charmed by the location of the hotel and its exterior appearance. Its a tall, brick building, nestled between other buildings of the like and sits on a quaint and quiet little street with small stores selling... More

We spent 3 days/2 nights here prior to boarding our ship. We could not have been happier with our choice. The staff was extremely helpful and efficient. We were met at the airport and upon arriving at the hotel the concierge was eager to assist us in familiarizing us with the area. We easily walked everywhere and loved our balcony... More

My husband and I have stayed at the Sirkeci Konak hotel twice now and each time I've been impressed. The location is incredible, a 300m walk to Topkapi Palace, 600m to Hagia Sofia and the Blue Mosque and a similar distance to the Spice Bazaar and the river side. There is a small convenience store across the road that sells... More

Pretty much everything has been said in previous reviews. Starting with the communication around the booking, being met at the airport as arranged despite being held up in Immigration (it is pedantically exact and slow when planes unload all at once. Visa has to paid for with foreign currency in one line then another snake-like line awaits), being greeted at... More

This hotel is amazing! I cannot say enough good things about this hotel. It is a boutique hotel with real charm and real comfort. Even though it is older in style it feels modern and luxurious. We had a gorgeous room overlooking Topaki Palace gardens and glimpses of the Bosphorus (will need to lay a bit more for this type... More
