Sirkeci hotels

The location and the staff make the Sirkeci Mansion a very special hotel. Located in the old part of the city right next the walls of Gulhane park Sirkeci offers all of the conveniences of a multi star hotel in one of the most desirable parts of the city. Breakfast is great offering both traditional Turkish and customary western items. But it is the activities offered by the hotel that make it a stand out. In addition to seeing things that most people would not have access to as tourists, they opportunities to meet other guests some of whom we made plans with after meeting on a tour. The staff enjoys working at the hotel and working together and it shows in the way they treat their guests!

Our first trip to Istanbul and it turned out to be a very enjoyable trip in large part due to our stay. The staff were friendly and courteous and I need to make special mention of the folks at the Reception desk, Murat Katran & Erdal Giftci the Room Service staff - Can Kilincer & Gapan Deniz. The breakfast provided is excellent. Maybe one day when they do expand it the rooms will be bigger and more spacious.

Service was really excellent. Great location. Pool was too cold to use and insistence upon swimming cap was really disappointing. Otherwise, first rate in all respects.

Excellent staff very welcoming superb room very near to blue mosque and topkapi palace and grand bazaar. Only small thing is room was little bit cold because of slow heating but after a while heater worked fine. Will defenately stay there again and again.breakfast was very very good.

There are at least two other buildings where Esen Hotel guests can stay. While one is located directed across from the hotel proper and has comparable rooms I stayed my first night in a nondescript building several twisting blocks from the hotel proper in what was essentially a furnished apartment with satellite tv but no phone, shower curtain or toilet paper, at least initially. It was an anxious evening not spent in a hotel room with great concern over whether I could even find the hotel in the morning for breakfast. After complaining and being told repeatedly "It's ok," I got a room in the hotel for the remainder of my stay. As long as you insist on staying in the hotel or possibly across the street then I recommend this hotel for its convenience, cleanliness and price but I would recommend making this very clear when booking your reservation.

I had an amazing experience in Istanbul. Hotel was great, in terms of location and cleanliness. Staff very nice with us and very helpful. I cannot wait to return to Istanbul, and I'd certainly stay in the same hotel if/when I do.

Had a lovely time at this hotel, customer relations staff went above and beyond expectation to make our stay special and memorable. Thank you to Zumre who was exceptional in making sure we were comfortable, paying attention to the small details which make this hotel stand out. As the hotel is located in the old city, its possible to walk to all the attractions, with the tram only and couple of minutes walk. There are lots of restaurants nearby and a grocery store opposite the hotel. Standard rooms in this hotel are like many in the area, and quite small, however if you're lucky enough to stay in the suite then you won't be disappointed! There are a couple of movie channels included which was great. We ordered room service and the food was excellent and very reasonably priced. Breakfast is fantastic, freshly made waffles and omelette to order, fresh fruit and juices.

As I said the location of the hotel is great, within 10 min walk from the most polpular sights.Breakfast area was panoramic and breakfast was delicous.We were a company of four (2 rooms), one room wasn't spacious and didn't have a double bed as ordered, but the staff was helpful enough to change it the day after.

Hotel evsen has recently been renovated and was very clean, free high speed wifi and the staff really friendly. It is conveniently located in the old historical part of the city with resturants on the street below. It is very reasonably priced for the service you get. make sure you get a room to the street. I would definitely recommend to a friend to stay.

The Sultania looked lovely on all the website pics and the reality didn't let us down. The staff were all incredibly helpful and went out of their way to greet us and ensure our stay was extremely pleasant. The room was glamorous with "under bed " lighting and a most ingenious bathroom design. Breakfast was delicious and the only thing that would have made breakfast better if it had been housed in the rooftop restaurant location: our daughter was staying in a less attractive hotel but did have a rooftop breakfast each morning. We would thoroughly recommend.
