Lovely small cosy hotel in a great spot near to both the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sophia; despite being very close to both these landmarks, the hotels location is extremely quite and peaceful. The Topkapi palace and tram station are also nearby. Our room was spacious and clean with excellent decor and the view from the rooftop terrace is... more

Very clean, nicely decorated boutique hotel. I cannot understand the negative reviews, the staff are some of the friendly we've ever come across and if you have a problem (e.g. on one occasion a taxi driver the hotel called for us royally ripped us off, we told the receptionist and within about 10mins our money was refunded and the taxi... more

I think the best word to describe the spina is “cozy”. Staying there makes you feel like you are staying at home. Being a small hotel, it provides a very friendly environment between you, the staff, and the other guests, something one may never find at bigger hotels. I stayed there with my family for five nights. We had two... more

Hotel Spina is a superb and quiet location right beside Ayasofia and the Blue Mosque. I can not imagine how others here have said it is noisy, as apart from the inevitable and 5 times daily Mosque call to prayer, the place is lovely and quiet. My room 302 had double glazed windows not a stones throw from the Blue... more

We had an awesome stay at this hotel.....6 of us young friends were looking for a good, not so expensive but fancy hotel at the same time. The truth is we stayed at another hotel on the same street but it turned out it was more suitable for the older people and also too high in price for not so... more

Stayed at the Spina for 11 nights. The boutique hotel has one of the best locations in Istanbul, the roof top terrace has perfect views between the blue mosque and the Hagia Sofia. The area is not too busy and away from the back packers world a few block down but remains within 5 mins of the blue mosque. The... more

I have just returned from a 4 day stay at the Spina Hotel and wouldn't reccommend it. I've stayed in lots of budget hotels so that really wasn't the problem. As with another reviewer during our stay the water was suddenly switched off in the morning mid-way through a shower. On speaking to reception I was told that the water... more

The hotel is nothing special. On the plus side, the Spina hotel has a great location only 5 minutes away from the Blue mosque and the Aya Sofia. Breakfast is pretty good with nice views from the terrace and there is free Wi-Fi. However, the room where my wife and I stayed was small and run-down looking. The air conditioning... more

The hotel was in a perfect location a few metres from the Blue mosque but the beds were very hard and uncomfortable, the rooms were not cleaned out at all,apart from the beds being done. Due to this area being a popular tourist area it was quiet noisey til about mid-night and early morning again, the first day we go... more
