The people made it worth it.
It’s an old hotel and not the cleanest we’ve stayed in. The AC leaked but did the job well enough and the water pressure was variable. Breakfast was simple but a nice bonus. The location is great and the cost is reasonable. Both the terrace upstairs and the back garden were nice additions. The people who work here are what made it worthwhile for us- super friendly, helpful and kind.

The Sphendon is a charming, old hotel in Istanbul. It’s walking distance to everything you need when exploring. The free breakfast was a nice added touch. The staff were great and we enjoyed our stay. If you have mobility issues - this is not the place for you as there is no elevator. The rooms are small but you get what you pay for. We would stay here again.

I enjoyed staying at this hotel, the staff is very nice and helpful. When I got there I was tired and my room is not ready yet so they offered me the big family room for no extra charge. That was very nice. The location is very good it’s close to all the public places. I enjoyed staying here and will definitely come back. Thank you Hotel staff

awful, illegal, and also full of crooks!
AVOID!!!! dodgy hotel. We have booked it ages in advance, and they informed us no rooms were left. They gave us one night only and changed us to a 'private' apartment the next morning. They said we can only pay them cash, which we did and no receipts were given. In the apartment there was no hot water, so no shower for a day and no curtains and it was by the tramline. horrible. Again they asked us pay in cash, and no receipts. I wrote to hotels.com and they said hotel told them no guests were registered under that name, hotel was full and no one checked in last night. as I do not have receipts they did not believe me. Disgrace to Hotels.com and of course this hotel. I had a child on my hand, sleeping, as we arrived late, and the next day they caused us so much inconvenience. We did not want to ruin the holiday and make a fuss, but hot water, noisy apartment, dodgy money handling and also no curtains, just seem to be a cowboy place. Avoid if you can. I never write reviews usually, not my thing. But this time I want to warn anyone who might be choosing this hotel. It is full of crooks who is trying to make money illegally. I am not sure if the owner knows what is happening behind his back.

WORST SHUTTLE SERVICE! DO NOT RECOMMEND!
The WORST shuttle bus service ever!!! strongly DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!!!! VERY ANGRY!!!!!! it costs 5 euro for the shuttle bus, which is the same price as other hotels which provided private cars (Ocean's 7 hotel provides clean,polite,PRIVATE and ON-TIME car). the shuttle bus in this hotel get customers from more than 2 other hotels, one of the timetable in this hotel is 9am, while in the next hotel is 9:30am (not even the last pick up stop). the problem is, if i take the taxi to the airport, it only costs 30mins, which means I risk myself more than 30mins waiting for other customers while I'm not notified before! one of the passenger's flight is 11am, while at 9:40 he is still in the car and waiting for the super slow people from another hotel and he don't even know whether he can catch the flight! When the shuttle arrive the airport it's already 10:15. the hotel staff won't tell you they will waste your time to wait for others while they based on the situation that you're sent to the airport directly, which means I would expect I'll arrive the airport at 9:30 since I take the 9am. If you want to LOSE your FLIGHT, then GO AHEAD and book their shuttle bus :) The room is ok but there are workers in the same building doing instructions, though I thought it would be private. if you want to eat breakfast, you need to go to another building which is very INCONVENIENT. the food is very limited. and the sea view is just so-so, not as shown in the pictures. Overall the environment is ok.

the hotel is in great location and the staff was friendly at first, however the room was very small, the bed was uncomfortable and the walls are paper thin so you can hear everything and vice versa. the cleaning staff did not make any effort to clean the room properly. When I arrived the room looked representable considering the amount that I paid for the stay, The next day the room was barely touched from the cleaning. The sheets were not replaced, the trash bag was not emptied etc.... I’ve spent a total 6 days in the hotel. On my second day.I spilled a little bit of chocolate milk on the bed due to the room lack of size and not having a dining area, immediatly fowllowing my return to the hotel, I was confronted by the Youness ( employee at the hotel) that The sheet was dirty and that the spot can’t be removed by the laundry and he handed me a doggy potty sheet and offered that I need to sleep on it politely. I found that not to be only rude and unprofessional but also dispeespectful. I would expect a lot more professionalism from a so called 4 star hotel. On the way out I Ahmed was nice and asked me to retun but then chased me to out to the cab and said take your trash with you ( the bottle of water that I forgot on his desk) That’s the most unprofessional staff that I had to deal with ever in my hotel experiences.

Hotel Sphendon is a simple and safe hotel in a great location. The staff (Akeel, Ahmed and Yunus) are lovely and helped me out a lot as a solo traveller. Daily breakfast was fresh and made for a great start to each day of touristing. My room in the annex building had great sea views. Just be aware that there is a fairly busy road between the building and the sea which causes some inevitable noise. Sphendon is close to all the major attractions - but in a relatively quiet corner of Sultanahmet. I will definitely stay here again if I make it back for a 2nd visit!

Everything was fine considering our stay, I mean that’s what you get for this much price right? The staff was friendly and everything... we were told we had a room in the annex buliding which is different than the main hotel building. It was all ok, nothing that great and nothing that bad, the annex building was a bit depressing though... the problem was discovered while I was packing at 1am as our flight was at 4 am and realized that we had bought two sweaters for my husband which were brand new and they were missing from our room, as we used to just quickly leave the bags in the room and go out, I never knew what time the house cleaning was coming... anyway moving forward I was unable to inform anyone at the hotel that time as no one was available at the annex building, however I did email the hotel once we returned to our home town but I was told that nothing was left behind... I know nothing was left behind as I packed everything!! It was STOLEN from our room... but they don’t seem to understand what I’m implying... anyway anyone booking this hotel keep in mind to lock your stuff at all times, especially the new things you buy during your stay in Istanbul.

Close to all the main landmarks
We really enjoyed our break in istanbal but not the hotel. If you are looking for a modern hotel with all the faciilities of a modern hotel then this is not the one. Bear in mind if you are booking a family room then most probably you'll be booked in to the annexxe part if the hotel which is at least ten minutes walk from the main hotel. So for breakfast every morning you'd have to walk 10minutes to get to the main hotel. We arrived late at night with our 3 children, we didn't expect to be taken down a few long roads on foot to get to the annexxe room. Then again going back to have breakfast, which actually made us very sad. The room it self is not too bad but what I found very annoying was when booking we were not informed/ advertised properly of how detached the room was from the main hotel. The hotel staff were very nice and polite. The breakfast was also nice but very basic. The only positive thing I could say about the hotel was that we were with in walking distance to the main landmarks like the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace etc. I would defiantly go back to Istanbal but not to the same hotel.

6/10 Okay

Lucian

Satisfactorily
The room is clean, small, with no balcony, and the view of the sea is covered by trees. Although it is specified that the annex is very close to the hotel, it's about five minutes' walk from the hotel to the room, the distance you have to go every morning for breakfast. The bathroom is cramped but ok from the point of view of cleanliness. Friendly staff, and satisfactory breakfast, but without any fruit.Wi-fi is ok.
