Top Istanbul University Hotel Reviews

The Marmara Taksim

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel in a great location , right on taksim square, friendly and polite staff , highly recommended"

Sultanhan Hotel - Special Class

8/10 Good

"Super clean Very friendly and helpful staff Amazing location (Few minutes walk to both Hagia Sofia and the Blue Mosque). Only minor thing is it looks older in reality than how it looks in the photos. If you are looking for convenience and cleanness, book it with a heart beat."

The Peninsula Istanbul

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is absolutely stunning and the location is perfect. Staff were very friendly and accommodating for our dietary needs. The suite where we stayed was amazing, very clean and with lots of amenities. Also, had a great view of Hagia Sophia and a beautiful sunrise."

Hotel Arcadia Blue Istanbul

10/10 Excellent

"I cannot see myself going back to Istanbul and not staying back at this hotel. The location was perfect, just walking distance to the Blue Mosque. The breakfast was very good and it has plenty of choices. Rooms were clean and overall the hotel was well maintained. The staff was outstanding. Specially Batuhan and Cineyt (forgive me if I misspelled your name). They were very helpful arranging tours. Highly recommend this hotel."

Emerald Mansion Hotel – Special Class

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms are snug Location great for seeing major attractions Only negative is the lighting and lack of a full length mirror...kind of helpful to have for getting dressed Shout out to Moufassa the doorman who brought us tea after a long day"

Lenus Hagia Sophia Hotel

8/10 Good

"My room was next to lift shaft so was very noisy City view was the back of other buildings and courtyards full of rubbish"

Four - G Hotel Premium

8/10 Good

"Clean room. Room 622 was very good. Quite since it didn’t face the street. Breakfast was good. The lady who was working today was very nice. Front desk people were nice. Location was superb going to different attractions. Overall I liked my stay here."

GLK PREMIER Sea Mansion Suites & Spa - Special Class

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location, great staff and good facilities. Airport shuttle worked well. All in all excellent hotel."

Legacy Ottoman Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Honestly I was a bit skeptical about staying after reading the reviews, but I’m glad I did stay. It gave our visit to Istanbul a unique vibe, the ottoman architecture, a classic and beautiful hotel. The staff are very nice, the breakfast is worth the money because of the variation, but honestly not necessary. And the location is where you want to be. The perfect central location for tourists planning to visit different sites. The food is good price around the hotel compared to Sultanahmet area. Highly recommended P.S. do not change money at the exchange office in front of the hotel, just walk two more minutes and get the best exchange rate."
