Very friendly welcome, we arrived early but the hotel next door work together with Violin so they took our bags until it was time to check in. Housekeeping was very good. Own key for the outside door meant easy come easy go. Would have loved a kettle in the room though the owner did offer to make tea anytime. Aircon worked very well and fridge was useful.

10/10 Exceptional

My recent stay at the Violin boutique hotel in Sultan Ahmed was truly a delightful experience. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and exceptional service. Despite our early morning arrival, the hotel's staff was incredibly accommodating, maintaining excellent communication via WhatsApp to ensure a smooth check-in process. The room key was ready for us, complete with a passcode for easy access, allowing us to settle in promptly. The hotel's location is simply unbeatable. Nestled in the heart of the Sultan Ahmed district, it offers easy access to the city's most iconic landmarks. Within a mere 5-minute walk, we found ourselves marveling at the architectural grandeur of the Hagia Sophia, the serene beauty of the Blue Mosque, and the historical significance of the Basilica Cistern. This prime location made it effortless to explore the vibrant atmosphere and rich cultural heritage of Istanbul. Beyond its convenient location, the Violin boutique hotel also impressed with its comfortable and well-appointed accommodations. The room was clean, stylishly decorated, and provided a peaceful retreat after a day of sightseeing. The staff's attentiveness and friendliness made us feel truly valued and ensured that our stay was as comfortable as possible. Thank you so much for everything!

2/10 Poor

Arrêtez de lire un instant ! Ceci est un appel à toute personne honnête et décente : cet hôtel (Aa Violin Boutique Hotel) n’est pas un cinq étoiles comme le laissent entendre tous les sites de réservation. C’est une arnaque, une fraude : après avoir payé la totalité de la réservation, et alors qu’il est censé être un cinq étoiles comme il est écrit, il n’en mérite même pas une. C’est un véritable désastre. Il est situé au cœur d’un quartier très ancien et les rues sont cahoteuses et inconfortables. De l’intérieur, l’hôtel ressemble à une prison. Les trois premiers jours, l’électricité a été coupée et il n’y a pas de générateur ! On vit et dort sous la chaleur et le service est très mauvais ; c’est un désastre. Je demande combien de pots-de-vin cet escroc a payé pour être classé cinq étoiles. J’aimerais savoir comment il a été assimilé à des hôtels cinq étoiles ? Combien de pots-de-vin a-t-il payé pour ça ? — Ne louez pas dans cette prison. — Arrêtez.

HOTEL : L’hotel si presenta in buone condizioni, sia all’esterno che all’interno, e' di 3 piani, ma su ogni piano ci sono 3 o 4 stanze, La camera dove ho soggiornato e' sempre stata pulita (anche per quanto riguarda gli asciugamani),Pavimento in parquet, letto comodo, condizionatore presente, e avevamo anche un piccolo spazio cucina con lavandino e bollitore. le pareti della struttura e delle camere sono un po sottili (forse perche' principalmente in legno), a volte ho sentito i rumori del bagno dei vicini; e sempre alle 5:00 circa la chiamata alla preghiera che si diffondeva tra le strade, cosi come il passare di qualche nave (di quelle piu' grandi), in linea d'aria si e' molto vicini alla zona mare; NON HO USUFRUITO DELLA COLAZIONE La posizione: è abbastanza buona, si trova nel quartiere di Sultanahmet, ma leggermente fuori rispetto alla piazza principale, e' in una zona più tranquilla appena fuori dalla confusione dei locali turistici, nella parte bassa verso il mare; è comunque vicino alla fermata del tram (1 km circa) che può condurti al porto di Eminonu e in tutte le altre principali attrazioni della città. GESTORE : Salih e la signora che si occupa delle pulizie sono delle persone molto carine, ci hanno trattato benissimo e sempre sorridenti. Il nostro soggiorno di 3 notti è stato complessivamente Buono. buono anche rapporto qualità-prezzo.

Yanından marmaray geciyor onun gürültüsü cok kisa oluyor fakat gece gecmedigi icin problem olmadi. Genel anlamda memnum kaldık.
