This was a second visit . We have visited Istanbul a number of times and have tried staying in other hotels (and been disappointed as a result) but this is our favourite. It offers value for money, great location close to main sights and transport hubs and a warm welcome. The rooms are modern and well appointed. There is a comfortable lounge area ( something often missing in many small Istanbul hotels) and an honesty bar in the evening. The owner is often around in the mornings to help guests plan their day (fluent in French and English) though reception staff are equally helpful whatever the time. We will be sure to return on our next visit to the city.

We found Hotellino on TripAdvisor and selected it for combination of good reviews and reasonable prices. We stayed in it November 25-28 (room 404 - double) and liked it so much that stayed there again after making a short side trip to Selcuk for the remainder of our stay in Turkey, December 1-4 (room 302 - triple). The first morning when we just arrived from the airport we were offered free breakfast while we were waiting for our room to be ready, even though one normally is not supposed to get breakfast on the first day. We loved breakfast food - both European choices (eggs, omelet, cereal, vegetables, fruits, juices, meats) and Turkish - great breads,pastry, yogurts, halva, honey in comb, Turkish tea and coffee. Apples were available at any time at the front desk. Every day we had 6 free bottles of water in the room. Location near Sirkesi train station is excellent - 5 min walk to Tram 1 stop, 10 min walk to Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, but nestled in a quiet street, away from tourist crowds and pestering trinket sellers. Both rooms and bathrooms were spacious enough, comfortable, modern and clean. One slight downside was construction going on nearby with noise at night. Most of all we appreciated professionalism, hospitality and friendliness of the owners and the staff, they made us feel so welcome, almost pampered! Suzan, lady at the front desk, was especially helpful, always smiling and upbeat. We got a feeling that everyone in this hotel cares about their guests and wants them to be totally satisfied. We will certainly stay in this hotel next time we visit Istanbul.

The price was great, The location is great. And the staff was great. In the heart of Serkeci, it was so easy to get to all the sites in Sultanahmet and Eminonu. I basically walked everywhere, only used the tram when I was pressed for time. The staff was very helpful in terms of directions and recommendations. I would definitely stay here again if I am ever back in Istanbul.
