Hotel's loacation is in the heart of antique (historical) Istanbul. If you are looking for how was the cultural side of the Ottoman Empire and their fascinating buildings, lifestyles...

The hotel is centrally located and within walking distance of many Istanbul highlights. Unfortunately ,the rooms are incredibly tiny, many are windowless and (at the time of my visit in May 2009) air conditioning did not work in mine.

The rooms are very clean and cozy, made in a modern style. Bathrooms are very nice- with dryer and soft towels (that have been changed every day).... more

Bring your own jam - theirs pours out like honey but that's... more

We spent 10 days at the Hotel Evsen in Istanbul this September. We booked a deluxe double room with a small balcony. Although the room was small, it was exceptionally clean and comfortable. The hotel is very central for all the sights, only a short walk from the wonderful Istanbul trams. We found the staff excellent, helpful and kind. Breakfast... more
