Great boutique hotel. Very quiet in a super convenient location. Easy walking distance to major attractions. I really appreciated the excellent service, very helpful staff and good advice. Air conditioning was great, bed very comfortable. Would recommend.

Never again

Terrible stay We booked a room with windows and a balcony for about €150, but on arrival, we were given a small, windowless economy room instead. I believe they were overbooked and decided to downgrade us. Thanks to Hotels.com support, we were moved to a smaller room with windows for the second night, but the first night was awful — no windows, no air, and my spouse and three kids struggled with panic attacks. It completely ruined our stay. Breakfast was very basic, and the hotel staff didn’t care or try to help. Without Hotels.com, we would have been stuck.

The room was so smelly and musty. It was super dirty and the bathroom was full of mold. The towels were yellowish. You get what you pay for, the hotel is not a good choice you are only paying for the area but the room was horrible. Breakfast was ok. Staff were nice.

Azucena, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Das ist das schrecklichste Hotel der ich und meine Familie wahren. Zimmer schmutzig mit Kakerlaken und Schimmel Bett Matratze volleres Urin Flecken. Zimmer ohne Fenster und wie in Bunker. Nie wider in das Grusel Hotel. Essen voll vergammelt das Obst. Personal sehr unhöflich und Arrogant. Das Ganze Hotel hatte nach Kanalisation gerochen . Schaden das man keine Bilder Posten kann habe alles fotografiert.

호텔 깨끗하고 위치도 트램 정류장에서 가까워서 이동하기 편리했습니다, 다만 저층방은 행인과 까꿍할정도로 가까웠어요 ㅠ 컨시어지 직원 귀여운 Awab 덕에 맛있는 식당, 공항까지 편리하게 갈수 있었어요 테쉬퀼레이드람

Uma experiência decepcionante

As roupas de cama estavam manchadas, o banheiro parecia mal lavado e além disso as funcionárias no café da manhã ficavam olhando e sequer levantavam o pé pra andar, dava até aflição

6/10 Good

Bem localizado, mas quartos pequenos

A grande vantagem do hotel é que está bem localizado, bem próximo de uma estação de trem e de tram. Está também bem próximo das grandes atrações de Istambul como Topkapi e Sofia etc. O café da manhã é mais voltado para turcos, pois não há muitas opções para estrangeiros.

Jättebra läge och trevlig personal . Det enda de behöver förbättra är frukosten. Det fanns inget kaffe tex , bara pulverkaffe Och dagsfärskt bröd skulle jag uppskatta. Kändes som det var gårdagens bröd de serverade Rummet var litet men fräscht 😊 Väldigt trevligt område med bra kommunikationer

Hay personal super atento y muy profesional (muy buenos consejos) y otros en cambio muy flojos (no se enteran de nada). La ubicación es genial.

10/10 Exceptional

Es wurde jeden Tag sauber gemacht. Handtücher wurden immer gewechselt, sowie auch die einmallatschen. Das Personal war super freundlich. Manch andere Hotels mit Sternen können sich eine Scheibe abschneiden Die Lage war auch super zentral, 2 min Fußweg zur nächsten Straßenbahn. Würde ich nochmal buchen :).

Hotel staff welcomed us very well. But there was a package of previously eaten food in my room. But in general the hotel was clean.

A very good, solid, central place to stay in IST

The Basilissis Hotel is in a very good part of town, right near the Sultan Ahmed Mosque and square, and a lot of tourist-friendly sites and food options! The hotel is kind of off the main roads, so it's a little quieter than if it was on the rail lines. The room was practical, the bed was comfortable. The shower did not have it's "rainwater shower head" even hooked up, so don't expect that; however, the shower worked fine. Their included soaps are good. A mini-bar does have a price list, but very reasonable considering the convenience; just be aware, around the corner are super cheap options for water, drinks, and snacks. The staff all speak good English; there was some mix up with our taxi information when we ordered, but in the end it all worked out. They always answered our questions, and worked hard to make us feel valued. If COVID is till a thing when you read this, the hotel itself can order a guy to come by and do the test in the lobby; you pay the hotel staff, and you get your results within 8-10 hours (that's how long ours took). Those results are available to use to get you back into the US. Still reading? Then let me put you at ease; it's a good place to stay! There were only nitpick things that we could find wrong, but because of it's central location, professional staff, and good room, we would not hesitate to stay here again in Istanbul.

A pleasant surprise.

Nice hotel on a quiet side street in the heart of the city. Literally a 5 minute walk from everything.
