I stayed at Zeynep 3 times, and every time I get exceptional service: knowledgeable staff, very good command of English. All staff are very helpful, I call this a hub because they can help with just about anything from corrective lenses to empty carboard boxes (if I have extra stuff that does not fit my luggage). Location is superior with... More

This is a simple hotel, very well located in the heart of Sultanhamet (the quarter where most sights are). 5 minutes walk to Aghia Sofia, Blue Mosque, Grand Bazar. 10 minutes walk to Eminönü (harbour for the Bosphorus tour). Tram stop (Gülhane) 5 minutes away to go towards Taxim Square. The owner (Ibrahim) is a well-travelled man and speaks excellent... More

The number one reason for us to come back (hopefully in the near future) to Istanbul (and of course this hotel) will be the superb hospitality from the hotel staff. We will never forget the half day free private tour from the staff to the Asian part of Istanbul. We got to see real places where istanbulites hangout, shop and... More

For the next visit... More

While I cannot fault the staff for being kind, helpful & friendly I feel this hotel falls well below par considering their is so much choice of accommodation in... More

Do come here. Every night, I would come out on the patio and brush my teeth to the view of Aya Sofya - just for the heck of it! So, the location is AMAZING. The hotel itself is very clean, the breakfast is terrific (oh, bread, cheese, fruit, honey, yogurt... And on a patio. And you get to see Aya... More

We loved it. Nice rooftop restaurant and the location is perfect walking distance to the marina, Grand Bazaar, Spice Market, Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque to name a few. You too will enjoy your stay here. More

You are within walking distance of Hagia Sofia, The Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Basilica Cistern and Grand Bazaar. There is also a tram stop around the corner. The rooms are clean and... More
