This was the first time my husband and I had booked a hotel abroad independantly and from the start this hotel gave me valued information. We are in our late 50's. The service was exceptional and the attitude of the staff was something to be proud of. They picked us up from the airport and as we were spending the... more

I learned about Hotel Kupeli through The New York Times: http://travel.nytimes.com/2009/08/16/travel/16save.html What a perfect hotel to park my bags, grab breakfast, and walk into the all the action of Sultanahmet with a 3 minute walk! The staff is truly Turkish in its excellent hospitality and consideration. The rooms are neat and clean, spacious, replete with the amenities of pretty bathrooms... more

I and my husband plus my in-laws stayed at Kupeli just over a month ago (August 2009). It was our first time in Turkey and my first time with all in-laws in one place. I was the one who chose the hotel and as you can imagine - i was afraid of getting it wrong. I could not believe the... more

This little hotel is centrally located in old istanbul without being right in the center of the noise and traffic that usually accompanies such a strategic location. The rooms were no-frills but were clean and comfortable with good hot water in the bathrooms. THe staff were wonderful and held on to one of our bags while we toured the rest... more

This hotel is a few blocks off the main tourist street of Sultanahmet, about a ten to fifteen minute walk from the tram station, with several small shops close by and a good, small restaurant located at the corner. The staff is efficient and helpful, especially the two receptionists Kader and Baresh, who speak fluent English. The rooms are a... more

They were kind, sincere, helpful, intelligent, and very good english speakers, and the breakfast included a nice assortment. Free internet, but I could not get a good wireless connection on the 4th floor, but was excellent... more

Our recent stay endorses most of the comments made previously. The hotel is quiet, clean, well presented and well run. The staff are very friendly, helpful and speak English to a good/excellent standard. The room I stayed in was over the front of the hotel and was surprisingly quiet considering the proximity to the major sights and the daytime traffic... more

Stayed here over the bank holiday weekend. A very nice and clean hotel, which is pretty new in a very good location. It is close to the blue mosque (5-minute walk if you know the shortcuts), and 5-minute walk to the closest tram stop which was very useful. We did have a problem when we arrived - we were promised... more

This was my sixth or seventh trip to Istanbul and every time I was staying in different hotels. This time I have decided to make an online reservation in Kupeli hotel mainly because of a good combination of price and location. This is a small hotel with clean rooms, good service and very kind, professional and friendly personnel. "Low price... more
