Guest Reviews

• Akkelies (10/5): - The place has a good location between Hagia Sofia and the blue mosque. What i really like is the roof top terrasse with the great view over the Marmar sea. It has no resaurant. I enjoyed the silence there in the mornings to do my yoga before i went to the city. The beds are comfortable, the fridge is great, and the bathroom is nice. Only missing a water boiler.
• Najoi (10/5): Excellent rapport qualité prix - L’accueil parfait, l’emplacement parfait. Le rapport qualité prix parfait. Je recommande vraiment cet hôtel qui coche toutes les cases!!
• SAID (2/5): - Ridiculous
• Shana (10/5): - The property was at an excellent location as close to most amenities and very near a lot of the historical attractions. Staff were lovely and helpful and hotel room was daily cleaned. Fresh towels were provided daily and staff were happy to assist with anything that you needed. However the hotel is on a busy street with the hustle bustle of trading restaurants and tourist entertainment. Therefore if you are a light sleeper then the hotels location is not suitable for you as the music from neighbouring restaurants etc would go on past midnight most days.
• Ingrid (10/5): - Very centrally located, lots of shops and dining right there. There was one locale that had loud music until late night, fun if you were there. I had to use ear plugs to sleep.
• Eduardo (10/5): - Está casi a la vuelta de santa sofia, muy cerca de muchos puntos turísticos y lleno de lugares para salir a comer. Muy recomendable!
• Ajla (10/5): - Baret was absolutely amazing and provided great service from the day we arrived to our departure. The location was absolutely great and near walking distance for a lot of tourist attraction and stores. Will definitely stay at this hotel again when I visit Istanbul. Thank you, Baret!
• Paul (10/5): - We have been going here for years and we were thinking about going somewhere else. However, we went there and it is amazing! New owners, renovations and excellent staff and I mean excellent!!! The hotel is situated in an entertainment precinct. We love it more than ever!!!
• Simone (8/5): - When I visited they didn't offer breakfast or airport shuttle. And I think it said otherwise when I was booking the room.
• Tuncay (8/5): - Es war sauber,das relativ junge Personal war stets freundlich und Hilfsbereich.Schöne Dachterrasse Richtung Meer.
• I (10/5): - Excellent hotel. Very kind staff and clean rooms. The streets are a bit noisy because of the restaurants. The hotel is very peacefull. I highly recommend this hotel, you can walk to the Haga Sofia en Sultan Ahmet. Loved my stay here!!
• Thomas (8/5): - very friendly and helpful receptionists
• Mehmet (10/5): - Unterkunft war professionell | Super Personal hat mir sehr gefallen
• Abdullah (10/5): - Very good hotel. Very good location.
• ahmed (10/5): - Perfect
• Blesilda (2/5): - room is small, noisy. phone is very dusty. no dial tone. There is no information booklet. Badly Stains of bed protector n mattress. Bitten by bed bedbugs Overall APPALLING.
• David (10/5): - Servicio, limpieza, seguridad, localización, precio
• Paul (10/5): - The Star hotel is our go to when in Istanbul. The staff are always friendly and helpful. We are treated like family. Will always be our place in Istanbul
• Arnaud (8/5): Great location - The hotel is very well located, extremely close to Sultanahmet square, in a very touristic district. Rooms and breakfast are ok. Wifi is sometimes difficult to get.
• Faris (2/5): Terrible - Didn’t feel comfortable,simply because I couldn’t sleep the first night. Kept scratching all night....the bed wasn’t clean!. Had to cut my stay short and leave the place after terrible night,though I paid for two!. I don’t recommend it,even for cheap price.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Great location, walking distance to blue mosque and most other attractions in the area. Heaps of restaurants along this street, i was told it gets loud at night so i slept with ear plugs and was fine
• Verified traveler (10/5): - イスタンブールでアヤソフィアとブルーモスクの近くにあり、観光に便利なので利用しました。部屋もきれいで、スタッフも丁寧な接客をされていたので、落ち着いて過ごすことができました。
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The Star hotel is very clean and nice. We were very happy there not with very great hotel´s location but also with very helpful staff. I will recommend this hotel to my friends for sure :)
• Verified traveler (10/5): - the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Although the street is bustling with activity, at night it was very quiet.
• Ibrahim (2/5): Sokağa terkedilmiş sokak köpeğine benzedim - Esas rezervasyon ve ödeme yaptığım otelin dolu olduğu söylenerek ve sistem sorunu yaşandığı iddaa edilerek bu otele yönlendirildim. Beklentilerim karşılanmadı. Ama yine de sokakda kalmamak için mücale verdim. Sonuçda zorunlu olarak bu otele yönlendirildim. Hotels.com dan birdaha rezervasyon yapmayı düşünmüyorum. Hotels.com a artık güvenmiyorum. Ve açıkcası kredi kartı bilgilerimi verdiğim için korkuyorum. Parayı önceden yatırdım ve kapıdan kovuldum. Kendimi sokak köpeği gibi hissettim.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Hotel är på lång avståndet från tram och coast ,och inte jammen vägarna (upp och ner)
• Mohamed (8/5): - Nice hotel close to Marmara Sea, Sultan Ahmed, Hagia Sofia & Topkapi Palace. The Hotel is within walking distance from many tourist attractions
• Bilal (6/5): - Need renovations. In max it should be a one star hotel due to its location 10 minutes away from historical points
• Ahmed (10/5): - This hotel is located in a good location not too far from the blue mosque 2 minutes away on foot and not too far from the grand bazaar (around 20 minutes walk). The staff were very nice and helpful and the facilities were always clean, but it’s not too great for immobile people as they don’t have a elevator. I recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Istanbul. If you are travelling in the morning I advise you to book their taxi as the price of the normal taxis are unpredictable and they go up due to the traffic. I am very greatfull for your hospitality I won’t hesitate to book here again. See you next holiday.
• Razwana (8/5): Prime location in Istanbul - Clean and comfortable hotel.We had a pleasant stay in this cosy small hotel.All amenties were adequate with the bonus of being so central to Blue Mosque,Aya Sofia and the tram.Breakfast was typically turkish with cheeses,cold meat,olives,eggs,cakes and cereal.Something for everyone,however people with mobility problems will not find hotel suitable due to no lifts.I would not hestiate to recommend this hotel if you are on a budget.Another plus point it has mini fridge to store drinks.
• Ali (10/5): - Very happy with this hotel will recommend it and staff was amazing
• Abbas (8/5): Fornuftig mht. pris og service. - Venlig personale, og god beliggenhed. Er på gå afstand til de mange gode seværdigheder som Blå moské, Aya Sofya, Topkapi paladset, yere batan sarnici, osv...
• Minette (10/5): - The Star Hotel Istanbul gives what it promises. It is well situated (within easy walking distance of Hagia Sophia, the Egyptian market and much more), clean, comfortable and very affordable. The little fridge in the room allows guests to ensure cold water and beer at all times. Although the room does not offer a kettle and tea or coffee an abundance of restaurants around the hotel has excellent tea and coffee. Breakfast on the roof is ample and offers a lovely view of the environment. Staff went out of their way to assist us with all our queries. The manager even made sure that apple tea would be provided when I mentioned that I really enjoy Turkish apple tea. As the hotel has no elevator, make sure to mention if you have difficulties with stairs.
• Maged (6/5): Has a lot of potential - Great location near all historical places in Sultanahmet. The hotel is basic and wifi doesn’t always work. The breakfast is limited however the staff are welcoming and helpful.
• MOSTEFA (10/5): Accueil très chaleureux - Pour un prochain voyage à Istanbul, je prendrais cet hôtel sans hésiter !
• Luisa (10/5): Awesome stay in Istanbul - Everything was amazing! The staff was very helpful and welcoming
• Gustavo (6/5): You get what you paid for - To be honest, I cannot complain, it is a very cheap hotel, so you get what you paid for. The location is great. The personal is very welcoming.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Very good experience - Very clean room. Super friendly staffs. Minutes walking distance from aya Sofia and blue mosque. Good breakfast. Will definitely recommend this hotel!
• djo (6/5): - Personnel accueillant souriant ; chauffage pas correct toujours
• Verified traveler (10/5): Excellent for on a Budget - Booked the hotel for family and they had nothing but nice things to say about their stay. The staff went above and beyond to assist. People on the front desk were extremely kind, specifically a person in the name of Serdar. Other hotels in the area were checked out and they were more expensive with even smaller double-bed rooms than this hotel offers. Breakfast is minimal but not bad. Basically, you get what you pay for. Might hear some music from outside the hotel at night.
• Eda (8/5): - Yer olarak çok iyi, odalar da temizdi ancak banyoda ufak tefek kırık dökük vardı. Genel anlamda memnun kaldık.
• Pavel (10/5): Very nice place - Very nice people with great service. Area has plenty of restaurants and the main historic attractions are a 5 minute walk away.
• zafar (8/5): Very convenient location - The hotel is very close to sultanamet sqare and the hotel stuff are very friendly. Its a good bread and breakfast hotel.
• M (4/5): Has a lot of potential - First, the neighborhood was too loud. Music from another establishment was blasting till around 3 am in the morning. The heater took a long time to come on and heat up the room. The TV was a nightmare to work and figure out. Plus my room was cleaned.
• dave (4/5): Cheap and chirpy - Clean and fab location but limited facilities Breakfast very limited Can get very noisy due to the this walls and non sound proofed doors
• Jamjoom (10/5): Amazing location! - Star Hotel is in the heart of Sultanahmet in a very nice street. There are great places to eat, drink and chill on the same street. Also to shop. In addition to that, it's walking distance to Hagia Sofia and the Blue Mosque. It was a very pleasant stay indeed and would for sure stay at this hotel if I return to Istanbul.
• Mohanad (8/5): The hotel is good but - I stayed at basement room and I didn't know why ,, the window was under the street and smell of smokers came out of it.. AC is good and bathroom not bad In general I recommend to try this hotel
• Roxi (10/5): Basic but comfortable. - The star Hotel is a small BNB. It was perfect for me and my husband, Mehmet -Manager was helpful, providing information etc. Most importantly the location for this hotel is brilliant, lots of cafes shops and restaurants. ideal for a short stay! I would defensively come back Thank you Mehmet
• Ronnie (10/5): Close to everything! - This a really nice hotel. Basic rooms somehow comfortable. The owners and the staff treated me like family. I definitely recommend it 100%
• Ronnie (10/5): Outstanding service! - The owner and the receptionist are the best. They upgraded my room. They really care about their guests. I would definitely stay here again.
• hidihi (6/5): Central and very comfortable but a little noisy - We were met by very friendly staff who couldn't have been more helpful. We were given an upgrade to a fantastic room overlooking the fascinating street below. The buffet breakfast was served on the amazing balcony rooftop restaurant overlooking the Bosporus and could not have been more perfect. The hotel is right beside the ancient city walls and two minutes from all the major sites including Sultanahmet and Santa Sophia. The city team is walking distance and Grand Bazar likewise. The only fly in the ointment was the noise from the adjacent cafes at night. If you are into late night music and street vibe this place is perfect, but for anyone wanting to sleep before around 2am you might like to find somewhere more secluded. But I want to emphasise the hotel itself was absolutely wonderful
• Bassam M. (8/5): A realy nice and peacefull place - Booking confirmation was easy, friendly staff, very helpful, gave me lots of information and tips and quiet place, service is basic but comfortable, they were even very helpful for advising me of the airport shuttle in the end of my stay and booked it for me, I enjoyed it and willing to do it again in the future
