I had a wonderful stay at Santefe Hotel in Istanbul! From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming, attentive, and always ready to help with anything I needed. The hotel has a warm and cozy atmosphere, making it feel like a true home away from home. The rooms were very clean, well-maintained, and comfortable, with everything I needed for a relaxing stay. I especially appreciated the attention to detail in both the décor and the amenities. The location is also excellent—close to many key attractions, restaurants, and public transport, making it easy to explore the city.

Terrible motel like hotel. Do not go if you are expecting a smoke fee room. It smells like a dirty old motel. And the hallways and stairs are extremely dangerous- no light until you are half way down the dangerous no railed twirled stairs

I would strongly recommend the Santefe Hotel. The value is unbeatable but it is also supported by N extremely friendly staff. The room is small but adequate for 2 people who spend most of their time outside visiting or sleeping. The baths are modern and big enough for 2 at the same time. They are many great restaurants and attractions around and it is only a $15 cab ride to almost anywhere. Book there and save your money for tours on the bay of Istanbul. I give the Santefe Hotel a 5 star rating without hesitation.

The door only locks if you remove your hotel key from the slot. This means your lights, chargers, AC - all electricity must be off if you want to sleep with a locked door. This is ridiculous. They don't even have proper manners or even a bottle of water on them.
