Cekmekoy Vacations from $522

Booking for ground floor but gave top floor room Key card didn’t work on several occasions Felt coerced into going on a boat ride when we first arrived (which was not quite to my taste) Strong smell of tobacco randomly in our room Staff in general quite helpful

I had a wonderful stay at this small charming old hotel in Istanbul. It's perfectly located within walking distance of old Istanbul with stunning water views. The hotel is clean and well-maintained, and the staff are incredibly helpful and make you feel right at home. The only downside is no parking. Overall , a great choice and highly recommended!

Staff at the main desk were very helpful, booked a lot of tours for me, helped me with navigating around the area. Cleaners also did a great job everyday. Hotel is placed in the perfect location with great views of Hagia Sohia and the blue mosque, also have great views of the sea from the restaurant on the 6th floor. Overall my stay the the hotel for 5 nights was absolutely amazing.

Exceptional service, such kind staff and cleaners. You’re very well taken care of. Very clean, excellent and safe location a few min walk from the Mosques and bazaar as well as a main strip with restaurants, shops, salons, Shisha lounges etc. definitely try the Ortaklar restaurant across the road it’s amazing especially the hummus! Breakfast could have more variety, rooms are a little small but cosy, gym is basic, and can get noisy as it’s so central. Overall loved the stay though and the benefits far outweigh the criticism.

Great location, walking distance to Topkapi, Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, etc, restaurants, Grand Bazaar, shopping. Upscale hotel, very well kept, staff went out of their way to ensure a very pleasant stay. Full buffet breakfast with great Bosporus/Marmara views from the top of the 6th floor.
