- Elizabeth (9/5): Wonderful stay in a beautiful city - A wonderful hotel in a great location. The hotel was as described and in an area that was very close to everything but just off of the busy streets with all the restaurants and traffic. We were everywhere we wanted to be within several minutes of walking. The room was comfortable and the breakfast on the terrace every morning had everything we needed. It was fresh and we all had a good breakfast every day. The staff was friendly and always willing to help.

- silviatV7547XJ (10/5): Good location, perfect service, polite staff!!! - I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Almina. The overall experience was very pleasant, with clean rooms, a comfortable atmosphere, and great attention to detail throughout the hotel. I would especially like to highlight the receptionist, Vedat, who was extremely kind, friendly, and communicative. He made us feel welcome from the very beginning and was always ready to help with any questions or requests. His professionalism and positive attitude truly made a difference in our stay. I highly recommend Hotel Almina to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable experience.

- Fadia (8/5): Nice experience - Breakfast amazing, terrace okay Location far a bit and down
- Günter (10/5): - Großartiges, hilfsbereites, freundliches und auch humorvolles Personal. Nur wenige Schritte ins Herz der Metropole. Außergewöhnliches Frühstück, am letzten Tag wegen der frühen Abreise ein ausgiebiges Lunchpaket. Über das Hotel gebuchtes Shuttleservice vom und zum Flughafen und die gebuchten Führungen und Ausflüge haben perfekt geklappt.
- ALI (6/5): Okay - Location great Staff wonderful Cleaning needs much more attention, furniture and linen worn out , breakfast poor
- RosieWoods1 (10/5): City break - We had a short city break at this lovely hotel. Great value. Clean and very friendly staff. We were early arrivals. However Sefa sent us off for breakfast and our room was ready once we had finished. Breakfast was an incredible selection. Thank you Sefa - a true gentleman. We will be back.
- Laura (3/5): Someone took from the room my bra and a sweater - Nice breakfast options Someone took from the room my bra and a sweater I left ready for the next day.

- Aina (10/5): - Rooms are spacious and clean. Nice staff and tasty breakfast!
- Monica (10/5): - La amabilidad del personal, hotel limpio y tranquilo 😌
- Sajid (9/5): Lovely quiet boutique hotel - Very nice location. Near to sultan Ahmet mosque and also to the back the sea coast for a quiet walk. Trams and bus accessible from both sides about 10/15 minutes although slightly steep so would be difficult for elderly/prams etc. The breakfast was amazing. Lovely variety. Our room was very spacious and clean. The omelette station wasn't included 😔 there was extra charge for that.
- Patricia (9/5): Para repetir - La ubicación está genial, a quince minutos andando de la mezquita azul y Santa Sofía. El personal es muy amable, el receptionista te aconseja cosas para hacer y es muy simpático. El desayuno no está nada mal. Está limpio. La cama es cómoda. Echamos en falta alguna repisa en el baño, faltaba más fruta en el desayuno

- Szabó (10/5): - Nagyon kedvesek, kényelmes Ott megy a vonat
- Tiffany (8/5): Nice place.some improvements can be made - Nice boutique hotel. Great breakfast with lots of variety hot and cold dishes. Most of the staff were nice. Rooms/beds weren’t made during our three night stay. Blanket had big yellow stain.
- Deborah (8/5): Good value for money - Quiet position but still easy walking distance to all the main sights. Loved the view from the rooftop terrace and the staff were very helpful and kind. I would avoid the rooms on the lowest floor. Not enough light and train vibrations.

- Michael (2/5): Complaint about reservation cancellation - Right after I arrive in Istanbul I got a WhatsApp message from the hotel asking what time I was supposed to be at the hotel to which I responded explaining that I was at the airport and was about to take a taxi and head to the hotel. In about half an hour later, and while I was in the taxi on my way there, I got a new WhatsApp message to inform me that my reservation was cancelled and that they had no rooms available. This is unacceptable and has caused me a terrible inconvenience. I demand to be compensated for it. I have and can provide evidence of the above. I look forward to hearing from you. Regards, Michael

- Marloes Aaldering (10/5): Een mooie locatie voor een bezoek aan Instanbul. - We hebben een heel fijn verblijf gehad. Het ontbijt was erg goed en uitgebreid. De locatie van het hotel was perfect; alles in het oude centrum was op loopafstand. Het personeel was vriendelijk en zeer behulpzaam. Het hotel is wel wat verouderd, maar dat past ook bij de prijs. Al met al een goede prijs-kwaliteitverhouding. niets
- Ramona elena (5/5): Muy sucio ! - El personal muy amable La habitación muy SUCIA ! La ducha y la pila atascadas,las vistas dan al tramo de tranvia o a edificios en obra,no coincide con lo que describen.Hemos reclamado 2 dias seguidos que nos limpie la habitación y lo unico que hacían era estirar la cama. El buffet del desayuno muy escaso y si quieres comer 2 huevos fritos,te cobran aparte. Al ser un hotel de 4 estrellas y encima llamarlo clase superior,no cumple absolutamente nada! Adjuntó algunas fotos de como estaba la habitación cuando entramos y así siguió durante nuestra estancia de 4 dias.
- paris17g (10/5): Definetely recommend this hotel - Me and my partner stayed at Almina hotel - August 2025. I have only great things to say regarding the hotel. Upon arrival due to an issue with our room, we had Adnan from the reception greet us, and explain the arrangements he had set in advance. He paid for our transport and booked us nearby at another hotel without any problem. Coming back the next day to check in properly, we were greeted by Vedat, who due to this "bad start" has upgraded our room to a higher floor. Till this point I can say problem management and client care have been excellent. The hotel itself is like the pictures, and even though small, it smells nice, and the rooms were very clean. The breakfast was definetelly worth it, with a wide variety to choose, from cereal, to fruits, to pastries, local appetizers, and even natural honey straight from the honeycomb! Everything was delicious, no other was to phrase it. Location wise it is about minutes walk from the central square where TopKapi palace, Aya Sophia, and the Blue Mosque are located. We were given instructions by both Adnan and Vedat on what to visit and also recommendations about the asian side of Istanbul. We also booked a tour which was nice after discussing our options with the reception staff. To summarise, the hotel was as in the pictures, clean and smelling wonderful. The stay was great, food was amazing, and the staff were super helpful, guiding and nice. Thanks Vedat and Adnan for making our stay in Istanbul a great one!
- Nicole (10/5): -
- haniakil (10/5): Great hotel - Great location! Very clean. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. Quiet and peaceful spot. Excellent breakfast.
- 170safiyak (10/5): Vedat is the heart of the hotel <3 - This review is basically just a Vedat appreciation post. From the very first night, he was so incredibly respectful, accommodating, and professional. I would give the hotel 4 stars, but Vedat is the reason I've given 5 (he deserves 5 stars alone, too). He's just so helpful and friendly, has a great sense of humour, and possesses some of the greatest manners that were ever beheld by a man. As a woman, I was so taken aback by his respect; he reminded me chivalry is most definitely not dead. Vedat is nothing short of a gentleman by the highest regard. He's absolutely gorgeous already, but his character makes him even more so, somehow. All staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, heightening the enjoyable experience, but I'm sorry - Vedat really stole the show with a reserved reverence. I hope that he is appreciated and celebrated by senior management (he has many fans in the guest book, to nobody's surprise!) and that the hotel recognises he is one of their single greatest assets. You can't lose him, or you will lose the heart of the hotel. Vedat is the heart of the hotel. I just have to get over my little crush now. If you're reading this, Vedat, and I hope you do, I hope and pray only wonderful things come your way, you beaut of a man. Thank you for all your help, advice, and kindness. I wish more men were like you.
- Tarek (8/5): - Staff are the best part; they are all very kind, very supportive and very friendly and hospitable. Location is very good, 10 minutes walk to Sultanahmet mosque, and a short walk to restaurants and shops. Value for money is very decent. I booked an Economy room by mistake that was small and did not have windows at all. The hotel staff did help on the second night and changed for me to a Standard and Superior rooms in the following days, which were much better.
- DAVID (5/5): Je ne reviens pas à cet hotêl. - Le receptioniste, Adnane était très sympa. La chambre n'était pas propre.
- Abbas0818 (10/5): Great Hotel - We had a great trip to Istanbul August 2025 and the hotel experience at Almina really added to and helped with this. In really good location close to Blue mosque (5mins walking) with a great view from the terrace. The terrace also had excellent views of the sea. The room was really nice, clean and modern. With this in mind the only downside was the hotel is close to a rail line. This caused a lot of noise when the train passes. The breakfast is really nice and fresh each morning and the staff are so helpful. Even doing a surprise birthday shoutout for my wife. The website pictures do not do justice to the actual experience. A special mention for Vedat and Adnan at the front desk of the hotel. They really helped with every aspect of our stay and went above and beyond to help us with travel and transfers.
- Aamir (8/5): Very good -
- Ole (8/5): Very good -
- Kalpesh (10/5): Exceptional - Breakfast and staff friendliness Nothing
- C3986YHfatimaa (10/5): Warm Hospitality, Prime Location – 5 Stars! - We had an incredible stay at Almina Hotel as a family. Everything about the experience was 5-star — from the service to the location. The staff were truly outstanding. The night receptionist was especially kind and welcoming — always greeting us with a warm, friendly smile and making us feel at home. Such a polite and respectful gentleman who really stood out. The day receptionist was also very helpful, especially when it came to guiding us around the area and helping us arrange a car when we needed one. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Housekeeping was amazing as well. Every time we came back tired from exploring, our room was freshly cleaned and spotless — it was such a comfort and really appreciated. The location is perfect — just a short walk to the Blue Mosque, with loads of restaurants, cafes, and shops nearby. It made getting around Istanbul super easy and enjoyable for the whole family. A big heartfelt thank you to all the staff at Almina Hotel for making our stay so smooth, comfortable, and memorable.
- Iuliia (8/5): Very good - Everything is great, staff is very nice, breakfast is good The construction is going on next to the hotel + you can hear noise from outside
- Justin (10/5): Exceptional - The could not do enough for you if you had any problems and always helpful Nothing
- Aldijana (10/5): Amazing, comfortable and memorable experience. - Beautiful location, easy to find and the facilities for the amount you pay were amazing. The breakfast was spectacular, every day something different and a range of choices to choose from. All staff were exceptional in making us feel welcome and helped make the trip memorable, Adnan and Vedat at reception were amazing. If I ever were to come again to Istanbul I would 100% stay here again. N/A
- Kathryn (8/5): Great location very friendly staff - Fantastic breakfast
- Levendran (6/5): Just fine - Good location. Breakfast was good. Rooms were okay too My booking was for 2. When I had gotten there I was told that there was only a room with a double bed available and not 2 separate beds. They had agreed to change the room the next day. The room the first night was good, however the window was broken and the room was right on the train track so the room definitely was not soundproof and cold was coming in. I had gotten an upgrade with booking.com, the next day when my room changed it was just a standard room even though it should have been the upgraded room with 2 beds. I didn’t want to argue about this so I just stayed in what I got.
- Rajarshi (9/5): Superb - A little walk from Blue Mosque and the Bazar. Breakfast was great with a view of the sea from the lounge Room was small for 3pax
- Amanda (9/5): Start the day with the best breakfast - The terrace on the top floor is wonderful. The breakfast staff and selection are great. So many varieties of cheeses, salads, breads, eggs, other savoury and sweet ways to end breakfast. The room I had was fine, but lacked a little atmosphere compared to others I have stayed in. But this would not put me off returning.
