We (my wife & I) stayed for last week in October 2009. We arrived in dead of night to be greeted by a happy, smiling Semmur (co Owner). Reception was very warm and after brief admin. we were shown to our room on the 3rd floor. FANTASTIC! It was spacious, modern, cool and above all comfortable. Breakfast each day was... more

The 5 Oda hotel has been a good choice for our stay in Istanbul: it is well located, in a quiet street close to the night life, the rooms are large and perfectly clean and the hosts are absolutely charming and helpful. more

We really enjoyed our stay at 5oda. Sennur and Gulten were both excellent hosts. They were very helpful in making plans. Sennur even loaned me her shoes so that I did not have to walk around in the rain! And they offered us free use of their umbrellas, too. Furthermore, the rooms with their modern style are unique among hotels.... more

We can’t say enough good things about 5oda. Staying at this little boutique hotel enriched our experienced in Istanbul in every way. The first thing to mention is that the hosts are really wonderful.

Arranged by a friend of ours who is living in Istanbul, we had a fantastic 4-night stay in one of the young and stylish areas of Istanbul, where this hotel is situated. The two kind and helpfull ladies running this small hotel with 5 rooms welcomed us the next morning with fresh breakfast, making all kinds of cakes and pastries... more

We would echo all the positive points made by other reviewers. Our hosts were tremendously helpful and outgoing, the rooms "spic & span clean" and comfortable, the guests wide ranging and interesting and the location was next to shopping/resturants/transport, yet, quietly off to the side. It helped to make our first trip to Istanbul a very memorable one. more

This small hotel is perfectly located in Beyoglu district. Its ideal if you want to feel like having a small apartment in heart of Istanbul and very importantly far from all the hoards of tourists that invade Sultanahmet. Great value for money and exceptional hosts who were assertive and helpful with anything we wanted. We would recommend this hotel to... more

ROOMS The rooms are spacious and you have all the western amenities, with a beautiful modern minimalistic design. I wish we had more time to enjoy everything inside the room but we radder spend time down stairs enjoying the company of other guest and the owners (Sennur, Kaz and Gülten) or outside visiting the magical city of Istambul. There are... more

I stayed here the first week of September 2009 after spending 10 days at the Hilton in Istanbul on work. My friend and i shared the ground floor suite and it was definitely modern, trendy, clean and you could not possibly ask for friendlier hosts - the ladies who run the hotel are amazing and will do absolutely ANYTHING for... more
