• Cetin (10/5): - les personeltres sympa tres gentil

• Конавко (10/5): -
• Konstantin (6/5): Nice base to exlore the city if you’re willing to give up some comfort - Amazing location, very friendly staff willing to help and make the stay as good as possible in the giving conditions. Dated rooms, mediocre breakfast, might be a bit more clean in bathroom but still ok.
• kaywan (9/5): -
• kaywan (9/5): -
• ali ibrahim (8/5): - Personelleri çok nazik, güler yüzlü ve her konuda son derece iyi yardımcı oldular. Otel konumu olağanüstü iyi. Kahvaltı güzel. Oda kapıları yenilenmek için haykırıyor, oda halılarında ve bazı eşyalarda lekeler vardı.
• Mirjana (8/5): - Lokacija ,dobar krevet Jednoličan doručak
• Fabio (8/5): Overall, a pleasant stay in an excellent location - The hotel is in a really convenient location, perfect for getting around and exploring the city. The prices are fair and match the services provided. Another strong point is definitely the staff: very kind, helpful, and always ready to assist. Overall, a pleasant stay that I would recommend to anyone looking for good value for money. On the downside, some of the furniture looked a bit worn and could use renovation, especially in the bathroom. The Wi-Fi connection was not always reliable either.
• Mansour (10/5): Très belle expérience - Hôtel propre bon emplacement très proche de tout un personnel exceptionnel surtout à l’accueil à recommander vivement mrc bcp
• Mihaita-Ninel (8/5): - Poziționarea, curățenia. Baia are nevoie de renovare imediată. Micul dejun sărăcăcios.
• Yalcin (10/5): Qualität und Sauberkeit!!! - „Mein Aufenthalt im Hotel Evsen war rundum perfekt. Schon beim Betreten des Hotels wird man mit einem Lächeln empfangen und spürt sofort die herzliche Gastfreundschaft des Teams. Die Lage ist absolut unschlagbar – mitten im historischen Zentrum Istanbuls, sodass man viele Sehenswürdigkeiten bequem zu Fuß erreichen kann. Besonders begeistert hat mich die Sauberkeit und Liebe zum Detail in den Zimmern: alles ist gepflegt, komfortabel und so eingerichtet, dass man sich gleich wohlfühlt. Das Frühstücksbuffet war reichhaltig und bot eine wunderbare Mischung aus internationalen Klassikern und lokalen Spezialitäten. Insgesamt ein Hotel, das durch Wärme, Service und Qualität überzeugt – ich komme mit Sicherheit wieder.“
• Jabbour (7/5): - The location was really nice, it was near Sirkeci metro station so it's accessible to go anywhere. It's 7-10 mins away (walking) from Sultanahment & Eminonu which is a plus. Wish the rooms were maintained better, bathroom lights were flickering.
• Narendra (5/5): Passable - Location and Breakfast were good
• Илья (10/5): Exceptional -
• Christopher (8/5): Great basic hotel in a perfect location 10 minutes walk to the sights and right by the metro, tram, and train station. - For the money, it’s a pretty great spot from which to explore Istanbul. Perfect location, basic rooms, nice staff, great breakfast. We had an issue with the toilet upon check in and they had us in a new room immediately. As said in other reviews, the rooms are a bit small. But the price reflects that I think. Shelving or a luggage rack would fix this as it would keep your belongings off the floor.

• YUNUS (4/5): Bathroom smells so bad - Bathroom smells so heavy. Room needed deep cleaning. Clean but many dirty spots on the carpet. I would not stay there again because of bathroom smell. The rest of the hotel would get 2.5 or 3 stars.

• Nazikat (8/5): A nice budget hotel - A good hotel and location near all the attractions
• Verified traveler (10/5): - On arrival to the hotel it didnt start too well but as soon as i made the reception aware of the things i needed sorting within minutes they got it done yes i mean minutes! The front staff are so helpful and friendly, he even offered to order me food in as i arrived around 1am at the hotel, they made me aware of all the best locations to visit and how to travel there, helped me download an app to get rates on taxis so you dont get ripped off. I had such a great experience and its all down to all of the staff at the hotel. The rooms are ok, perfect location to walk to all of the sites, around 5 minute walk from the blue mosque and 10 minutes away from the grand baazar. Lots of options available for breakfeast and continental breakfast. Free tea throughout the day and night! Just want to thank the staff again for helping my trip become memorable.
• Terence (8/5): Clean and comfortable stay in Istanbul. - Hotel Evsen is definitely a good hotel for the price. The room is spacious clean and comfortable. The breakfast was sumptuous. If it get a little too cold in the room you can always ask for extra blankets. The guest relations staff were awesome and always friendly to answer any questions that you have in mind. Strong signal of wifi too. The location is superb just minutes away from the major attractions in Istanbul. There is a city tram that runs to most places just on the main street. There are lots of restaurants in the area that are top rated by Tripadvisor. Just outside the hotel you can find good coffee if you are an avid coffee drinker like me. From Istanbul Atatruk airport, the journey is about 25-30 minutes Overall a good stay.
• Seyed Naser (10/5): Good location;Good staff - Good location: very close to Golhane Tram station: 2 min walking very close to Marmaray Metro station:2 min walking very close to brideg and Eminono eskilisi 10 min walking very close to Soltanahmet and Grand Bazar 10 min by walking Local area sorrounded by restaurants and coffe shops and nightlife is great. We stayed in an economy room, they told us that is small room and without window; and it was really small. But there was no problem, because it was so clean and with good light and also clean. All the day we were out of hotel, so the size of room wasn't important to us; the bed was comfortable and the breakfast variety was also good for a 3 star hotel. Good staff
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Hotel rooms are too small and the staff are so rude, we asked for an extra pillow because their pillows are not comfortable and we’ve been told that they have no pillows, overall service is really bad.
• Hamza (10/5): great hotel great location - great hotel feels like home , friendly staff very proffesional and polite ...breakfast was great loads of options ...location is very nice with great atmosphere around. hotel is a good place to socialise with new people...for the price it is awesome will recommend!
• Lucy (10/5): Great price location and staff! - Hotel Evsen was a great budget hotel in the heart of Istanbul. Within walking distance to the Bosphorus, grand bazaar, Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia and very close to the restaurants and shops along Hüdavendigar road. You can't ask for a more central location. The staff were very friendly, thank you to Huseyn, Onur and Salem who were very accommodating during my stay and always ready to help with transport, local tips and my luggage! I would not hesitate to book again!
• Dave (8/5): This is a small hotel in a built up but quiet area - We stayed for a week in September during a busy festival period. breakfast was a Continental style with a Turkish twist. Plenty of it with free coffee and cereals/toast for the less adventurous. our original budget room was very small and so we moved to a larger room for a small cost but with no hassle from the very accommodating staff. the hotel is very well presented and clean but has no bar or restaurant itself. There are however, several quality bars and restaurants within minutes strolling distance.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Good hotel and good location - Initially upon check in we were given a very small room facing the street, with what is considered a view room. When we asked for a bigger room we were immediately accommodated, and our second room was considerably bigger and more comfortable. It did not have any view however, which was insignificant for us. The room was very clean. The housekeeper and the front desk very helpful and welcoming. Lots of good advice from the front desk. Breakfast was the best we had anywhere in Turkey....and we did generally have very good breakfasts everywhere... But more variety here. The only thing missing was fresh fruit. The location is great ... Close to the metro and walking distance to the main attractions, but on a very quiet side street.
• Hesham (6/5): Enjoyed the stay , but .. - I really enjoyed the stay , very welcoming and helpful staff , decent breakfast with an amazing view and the perfect location which I choose the hotel for , its a small walk from Eminonu and sultanahmet , I could almost walk to the most of my trips from there On the other side , my room was very very small , not 15 sqm as the descreption , it was around 11 or 12 , the only view from the window was the window of the front room , therr was an annoying noise always at night , sounded like a ventilation fan of the next room bathroom .and finally which was annoying but didnt notice untill last day , the house keeper didnt change the sheets , there was a small chocolate stain that we caused by mistake , 3 days later I notice that it was still there . But over all , its good if you are out all day and coming back for a sleep , its beautifl , very nice staff , and its the best you can get with that budget " it really is " Thank you Hotel Evsen
• Alex (8/5): Nice Hotel in the center of old Istanbul - A nice little hotel, the best we found so far in its price range and in this particular location. Getting to it is extremely easy, it is 5 minutes walking distance from the Metro station. Its location is perfect in the old center of Istanbul, it is walking distance away from most tourist attractions in the area like St. Sophia, Top Kapi, the Cisterns etc... Like all hotels of this class in this area, the room is small but very comfy as it has a good closet, drawers ets enough to keep you things out of the way. The toilet is really small, the toilet seat is in close proximity with the shower cabin so you cannot even sit properly on it. The sink is so small and with the faucet located in its center it can be difficult to wash your face. It has enough accessories (shelves, hangers) though to store all your toilet stuff like soap, shampoo bottles, shaving stuff etc... That said, the room and toilet are very nice, clean and neat. The staff is very nice, polite and helpful. The lift is nice and modern. The restaurant is located on top floor and offers a nice panoramic view of Istambul. The breakfast has a large variety of food and is nice.
• Katerina (8/5): - The hotel was very comfortable. We've stayed here 2nd time (since 2009). The hotel is wonderful for its price, facilities and location. 5 minutes walk to Marmaray station (elevator!) and 2 minutes to Gulhane tram station. Rooms are clean but small. Small size of rooms is a common feature for all hotels of the kind in the area. Still there's enough space for 2 luggages, bedside tables, built-in closet that most of the hotels lack. Everything works, shower doesn't leak, enough light in the room, it was +10C outside but we had no need to turn on a heater. The beakfast was very good!
• Verified traveler (10/5): Nice hotel in the old city - Not expensive yet they give 5-star experience! Comfortable and walking distance to Hagia Sophia. They have nice staff.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Expected to have more room inside unit, bed is small and not too much space to walk around bed.
• Suha (10/5): Comfortable hotel next to attractions - The hotel staff were very welcoming and informative about tourist attractions. They were always ready to help us with any problems. Despite the hotel being on a traffic-free road there was still a lot of noise coming from building work during the night; this was a problem when trying to get to sleep. The room itself was quite small, however it was very clean and pleasant. The breakfast on offer in the restaurant was excellent, with a diverse selection of foods and a view of Topkapi Palace.
• Susan (10/5): Nice little hotel - Room was for my husband and I and teenage son. Worked perfectly. Not huge but enough room. Lovely bathroom and tea and coffee making facilities. Air conditioned.
• Verified traveler (10/5): What a surprise! - Great place to stay in Istanbul! Located near all the major sights in Old city as well as ferry terminals. The staff was excellent, rooms clean and well furnished. I'm already looking forward to my staying at this place on my next trip to Istanbul!
• Temitope (10/5): Hotel worth more than price. - My airport pickup was professionally arranged. Customer service at the hotel was outstanding. I got assistance with my luggage, my room was a so worth more than its price, so clean, well decorated, I immediately took pictures and also breakfast was basic and nice. The hotel is close to touristic areas of interest and the waterside too. Any future stay in Istanbul must be at this hotel.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Very Small and No Windows - The hotel is bearable for short stay (1-2 days) but I don't recommend for longer stay. Our group had 3 rooms reserved none of the rooms had any windows which makes it very depressing. One of the rooms was the size of a closet 10 feet x 10 feet space and no windows. We didn't even have space to put our luggage. Breakfast was good. It served some hot foods in addition to your traditional turkish breakfast of cold cucumber, tomatoes, and cheese. The location was good as everything was within walking distance. I wouldn't go here again even if i was a 1 day traveller on the go, because you can find those places for much less in the big city of Istanbul. I should have stayed at Erboy next door for a little more because I had good experience there.
• Shan (6/5): Location is good, nothing to write home about - Staff and service was OK, not so good nor bad. Location is really good. Room size is small but still bigger than most hotels in the area. There is no view in the rooms, basically facing a wall.
• eric (8/5): Good basic hotel in a terrific location. - The staff could not have been friendlier and more helpful, with excellent English-language skills.. Location is very good, near Sultanahmet attractions on a street with several good restaurants. Rooms a bit small but well equipped and spotlessly maintained. Excellent breakfast.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Excellent hotel - we will certainly be back! - Hotel Evsen and it's entire staff made our trip incredibly enjoyable! The hotel was elegant and hospitable. Our room was beautifully designed and very comfortable including all amenities we had hoped for - clean, large enough bathroom, closet space, sofa bed in addition to a queen sized bed, mini fridge, hair dryer and much much more. The concierge saw that we had 4 bags and upgraded us to a larger room free of charge. Tarun at the front desk was incredibly helpful - pointing out things we should do to see the true Istanbul, how to get everywhere, when to go. The concierge even went the extra mile to call and make dinner reservations for us and arrange all of our excursions. THe hotel's location was ideal - a five minute walk from all the sights and on a beautiful pedestrian only street filled with restaurants and cafes. Breakfast at this hotel is amazing! Very delicious and a wide variety of food to choose from - not to mention the excellent views on the 6th floor hotel restaurant! Overall, we highly recommend Hotel Evsen to all travelers.
• L & B (10/5): A very good choice! - This was our first stay at this hotel and we stayed for 8 nights. This hotel is located in the heart of old Istanbul, within walking distance of the major attractions, on a pedestrian street with several shops and good restaurants, and a tram station for those who wish to visit attractions away from the centre of town. The friendly and helpful multi-lingual staff provided us with accurate and valuable advice on attraction opening and closing times and arranged all of our tour bookings with great efficiency. We truly appreciated the advice and the quality of the tour packages they recommended. The hotel provides an excellent breakfast buffet with the option of having a fresh omelette made just for you. Our room was not luxurious however it was very clean and all of the furnishings were in good condition. Our room was a standard room; we expected the room to be small based on the reviews posted on Hotels.com by previous guests so we were not surprised or disappointed when we saw that our was indeed quite small. Travellers who need space should select another type of room. The hotel provides a small street level sitting area for guests who wish to enjoy the outdoors and kindly allowed us to use the glassed-in top floor terrace when we wanted some peace and quiet during the afternoon. This is a very well managed hotel with friendly and helpful staff, we would not hesitate to recommend it.
• Silas (4/5): No windows in my room - My wife and I were really disappointed with our room. We paid a decent amount ahead of time and they put us in a first floor room with no windows. It felt very stuffy and my wife felt claustrophibic. I would not reserve there in advance unless you can be guaranteed a room with a window. The positive was that the breakfast was very good and the location was convenient. Fortunately we were only there one night.
• Verified traveler (6/5): it's ok - but too small rooms
• Sam (8/5): Comfortable and Functional - Good location, OK rooms..we thought they were a bit small, nice bathrooms, OK breakfast, great location, good service and great price
• Shabir Hassan (8/5): review - Spent 5 nights at Evsen. The rooms are quite small and bathroom even smaller. But the service was great, location wise is best and breakfast is one of the best you could find in Europe. All in all, great stay for the price and location makes it possible to visit almost all the attractive places Istanbul has to offer by foot.
• Tohid (2/5): Nothing good but lobby - I didn't like this hotel at all. the photos of standard rooms are completely different from the real ones. There is not even a bottle of water in the fridge. There is no phone available even to inside Istanbul. Stuff were not friendly at all, At the check out they had problem with charging hotels.com and they ask me for cash!! Although I showed them my payment confirmation.
• Tiffany (8/5): Value for money - My friend and I recently visited istanbul on a 5 day trip. Hotel evsen was in a good location- only a short walk to ayasofia and blue mosque and many restaurants and shops on the street surrounding the hotel. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful and even carried our bags to the hotel after our taxi driver had called them to notify them of our arrival (the hotel is on a pedestrian only street). The hotels decor is upto date, the only downside would be the room size, this wasn't much of a problem for my friend and I as we were traveling with hand luggage sized suitcases and were only in the room to sleep. Overall our experience with this hotel and staff was a pleasant one and made for a fabulous time in the amazing istanbul.
• stratos (6/5): Good location next to old city - Good location but noisy street breakfast is average,needs more options of food,it was more Turkish than European.Some things disappear from our room and after complain to reception was back in place! Don't leave things unlock!Rooms are very small.
• Ashley (6/5): Good location - Good location. Rooms very small and noisy but walking distance to all the places you want to see.
• lucy (8/5): Nice hotel close to main historical areas - Near the historical areas of istanbul this is a nice simple hotel.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Nice hotel, close to the sea. - Everything was great except for the fact that the room that we stayed in didn't have a window and the lights could have been a bit more brighter.
• Peter (4/5): Tiny room with bad sewage smell - Our room (101) was tiny with a very bad smell of sewage which, at first you were unaware of because of the heavy dosage of deodorant. As soon as deodorant dissipated the sewage smell emerged which was there till morning. Breakfast was meager selection of stale little buns, a hard boiled egg, and a dubious looking wee sausage. The coffee was good!
• lubo (6/5): Good value for money but very small rooms - Good value for money but very small rooms, lack of fresh air as windows overlooked another building wall, standing only a meter away from our hotel. Because of this it becomes very noisy in the evenings as we heard noises from the surrounding buildings and neighbor rooms. However, if you can ignore this the location is excellent and very close to all sightseeing.
• Verified traveler (8/5): good - All is good except the wifi connection is so bad, the hotel is near from haja sofia and from blue mosque, the tramway station is near also about 100m.
• Ilona C (6/5): Close to major attractions. - The title reflects it. This hotel is in center of the city walking distance to every major Istanbul sight. The tram is 2 minutes away, there are lots of restaurants next door. The staff is very nice and helpful. The breakfast, while remaining a traditional Turkish fare offers more variety than some other hotels (bourekas - traditional savory pastry, were delicious and the juice selection was nice. Kiwi juice was refreshing and very good! Yummy! The breakfast is served on the rooftop terrace, and the overall breakfast experience just contributes to the right start of the day! My only problem with this hotel is that the room that I was given had no windows! While being very clean and comfortable, the lack of windows gave off an impression of a spacious janitor's closet transformed into a guest room. But since I stayed there for one night only, retired almost at midnight and checked out around 9 AM, I was ready to put up with this inconvenience.
• Rebecca (10/5): Great value and service - My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Evsen. The location was perfect, the service friendly, and the breakfast was outstanding! I don't understand a previous comment that said the breakfast wasn't good.....eggs, sausage, 8 types of cheese, olives, bread, fresh fruit, espresso coffee, and more! Yes, the rooms were a bit small, but how much space do you really need? I would definitely recommend this place to everyone!
• hegde (4/5): not worth the money - small rooms. excessive charges for service. nationality biased.
• mohamed (6/5): Great location - the sink of the bathroom too low and small
• Andrew (8/5): 'A quiet hotel for the people into old buildings' - I was intrigued that this hotel had had such mixed reviews. My experience has definitely been at the strongly positive end. For its price per night it is in a great location but is quiet. I can't fault the staff, the breakfast or the facilities provided. My airconditioner worked, it was a room you could have swing a small sheep in, let alone a cat, the ensuite was clean and more than adequate. My only minor complaint was that I have slept on younger mattresses - or maybe my body is just older. The restaurant next door (uphill) was congenial and well priced, though others nearby may have been as good. The point is that everything from the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque, to the Topkapi Palace, the waterfront ferries, and the Sirkeci railway station, are close by. And it is a fairly easy place to get to by metro and tram on the arrival day from Attaturk airport. At this hotel I think you are getting more than you pay for.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Great value for money & location, friendly staff - Hotel evsen has recently been renovated and was very clean, free high speed wifi and the staff really friendly. It is conveniently located in the old historical part of the city with resturants on the street below. It is very reasonably priced for the service you get. make sure you get a room to the street. I would definitely recommend to a friend to stay.
