With only four gorgeous rooms the Villa Sphendone is comfortable, quiet and friendly, the staff are very helpful. The highlight for us was the room, large, comfortable, sumptuously furnished. The hotel is in a quiet location, but is only a short walk from the Blue Mosque in the heart of the old city. Very highly recommended. more

Villa Sphendone is located in the old city centre. Small historic streets with all major attractions on walking distance. Fantastic atmospere of an historic city with a lot of stories to tell. The owner of Villa SPhendone is very proud of his city and country and likes to talk about it. Service was, in one word: great! Breakfast is served... more

I love, love, love Villa Sphendone and I'll admit I am the pickiest of travelers. With only four rooms the personalized service was impeccable. Both Deniz, the owner, and Mesut who works in the office, made my stay one to remember. You'll never need a tour guide in Istanbul after the amazing history lesson Deniz gives. In fact there was... more

The beds are comfortable, the batroom spotless and the breakfasts were good and served... more

I normally do not write reviews about hotels but I could not pass up this opportunity. Villa Spendone Suites bills itself as a boutique hotel - nothing can be further from the truth. The hotel is situated in the old city in Istanbul. The surrounding area is run down and walking the streets are quite difficult around the hotel. The... more

Our family stayed there this summer and it was one of the best decisions we made! The hotel was clean, and a delicious breakfast was given. It is within waling distance of many of the major attractions in Istanbul and it is close to a tram and so it easy to get to other parts of Istanbul. more

My wife was a little apprehensive when we pulled up outside the Villa Spendone Suites. Yes, it is situated in an older part of Istanbul near to some very historic buildings but her concerns were put aside when we were met at the front door by Esin who greeted us with "Welcome to your home in Istanbul". We had a... more
