We stayed for 6 nights at this delightful hotel, centrally located in the Sultanahmet area, within easy walking distance to all of the major attractions. Staff were all charming and efficient, and anticipated our every need. The rooftop terrace offers a lovely view of the Marmara Sea, and the buffet breakfast offered a stunning variety of goodies. Clean, comfortable and... more

We stayed four night and could have stayed longer. The staf is fun and friendly and can help with everything, cabs, day trips, everything. Had a great garden room, with a beautiful bath. The hotel was on a quiet street in a great neighborhood with your choice of restaurants. The best thing about our stay was the incredible rooftop breakfast... more

Hotel Sebnem was our first stop on our honeymoon to Turkey. We were absolutely thrilled with our stay. The hotel could not be in a more convenient location for exploring the Sultanahmet area of Turkey. Not only that, but it's tucked into the most charming little corner of a cobblestone street. Our room was very romantic and cozy. Everything was... more

Everything was right about this place. The staff were lovely and friendly, the location unbeatable, the hotel and the room clean and well presented. I have already recommended this place to other friends. We all hope to come back! more

We stayed here for 2 nights. We had a room with a canopy bed that comfortably accomodated 2 of us. Our room had access to a little shared courtyard garden. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. It was also rather quiet when we stayed there - no problems with noise. Breakfast is on a roof terrace with... more

Our weeks stay in Istanbul was highlighted by the wonderful location; the friendly and so helpful staff and service at the Sebnem. The rooftop lounge view over the Marmara Sea was just soooo relaxing as we typed away on the free internet at the end of happy exhausting days from exploring the 'wonders' of Sultanahmet. The Ayasofya, Topkapi and the... more

We recently stayed at the Sebnem for three nights. What a find! Agree entirely with last two posters so no need to repeat their comments. All in all very comfortable and clean hotel in a secluded (but extremely convenient) spot with the most friendly and helpful staff, not to mention a fantastic breakfast on offer every morning, much of which... more

I can only echo the excellent review by Sally, which captured all of the good things about the Sebnem (there were no bad things). I also want to commend the extremely friendly and always helpful staff, who were consistently willing to do whatever was necessary to make the stay memorable. And, again, location was the best, within walkinmg distance of... more

What a pleasant and perfect spot for exploring Istanbul! My mother and I stayed at the Sebnem for three nights in August and had a lovely stay. The hotel is located off a little side street in a happening section of the Sultanahmet neighborhood - conveniently located to all of Istanbul's most famed attractions. While at night not a few... more
