Guest Reviews

• Piotr (10/5): - Super gość z recepcji Ayhan bardzo pomocny
• Andrija (6/5): -
• Djahida (8/5): - L'emplacement est idéal.
• Tanja (6/5): City trip with 4year old - The location is very good.3min walking distance to tramstation and the grand basar. Quiet neighbourhood and lots of food options and supermarkets nearby. Staff friendly and the beds comfy. We got a bigger room on arrival for free. Hot water, heating and aircon working well. Breakfast room with nice view over Bosporus. The room does not get cleaned well.there was still a open drinkingbottel under the bed which spilled all over the floor.if you walk barefoot in the room you have quite fast black feet.the sink did not get cleaned once during our 4 days stay. The shower has mushrooms and the toilet seat was broken. Breakfast quite low quality.

• Ivona (9/5): Odlično - Lokacija odlična. Blizu za obilazak znamenitosti, kao i mesta za kupovinu, a i restorana i kafica. Sve se obilazi peške, kola nisu potrebna. Ne postoji parking.
• Bax (8/5): Весь уют создает персонал гостиницы. Хороший завтрак на терассе с видом на залив - Самый приветливый и вежливый персонал. Месторасположение хорошее, близко к Гран Базару и Голубой Мечети. Хороший завтрак Гостиница довольно старая и требует ремонта, хотя для бизнес поездки подойдет.

• Joumana (9/5): Great - The location is great , close to the tramway station, the room was exactly like the pics , it’s clean , they clean everyday and they change the towels and put the water , the staff are nice but they don’t really speak English or any other language, the breakfast is great , the coffee machine is always working even at night . The room is kinda small , the bathroom is so small it’s kinda uncomfortable, the walls are really thin we were always hearing the noise from the room next ours at night

• Nenad (5/5): Passable -

• M (8/5): Very good - Great location. Clean hotel Staff are friendly. Must request non smoking room next visit.
• Mariette (4/5): - slecht onderhouden, veel kapot in kamers en badkamer. luidruchtig snachts. matig ontbijt met kapotte koffiemachine die niet werd gerepareerd, dus kopje nescafe. aanbeveling personeel voor boottocht viel zwaar tegen. veel te duur voor wat je kreeg. ongezellige rommelige entree waar werd gerookt.
• Dzianis (8/5): Very good -
• Santa (8/5): Very good -
• Adam (6/5): Pleasant -
• Santa (8/5): Very good - Breakfast was ok, staff was very kind and helpful. You could hear neighbours very well , I think walls are quite tiny 😀
• George (4/5): Disappointing -
• Ahsan (5/5): Just okay. - Location only. Space of room and bathroom were small. Narrow staircase made it difficult to use. Old pattern lift is very uncomfortable. Limited and almost same breakfast menu everyday.
• Anca (10/5): Exceptional -
• Evzi (6/5): Pleasant -
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Ce que j’ai aimé: la proximité avec des lieux stratégiques tels que le grand bazar ou la mosquée bleu, le personnel agréable et à l’écoute Ce que j’aurai aimé: j’avais payé pour un petit déjeuner que je n’ai finalement pas eu, les murs entre les chambres trop fin car nous entendions les conversations des autres chambres, dommage qu’ils ne soient pas un peu plus épais
• ちゃ (4/5): トラム駅から坂の下のホテル - トラムの駅から坂を５分ぐらい下ります。暑い夏はツライと思います。観光地へのアクセスはトラムを使うととても便利です。またトラム駅前のお菓子屋さんは安く、お土産を買いました。部屋が狭く、ゴミ箱がなく、窓の外、横１メートルぐらいに現地の方が暮らしている模様でした。。。朝食は種類がありましたが、朝一番にいくと、おかずのタッパーにサランラップがかかったままでした。
• Verified traveler (6/5): War ganz ok - Alle Sehenswürdigkeiten in der nähe hatte viel spass
• jackeem (6/5): 隠れています - トラムで空港からホテルまで行きました．スマホの地図（MapsWithMe)を見ながらホテルを探しましたが，入口が隠れているところにあったので，見つかりにくかったのです．一泊一万円ぐらい払ったのに，部屋は意外と小さかったのです．ドアのロックの仕方が独特で，少し困りました．中からロックしてからドアを締めないとロックできません． ※私は日本人ではないから，多少の日本語のミスがあると思うのでご了承ください．
• Kristoph (4/5): Below average hotel - The Sembol Hotel is in a small, yet surprisingly noisy side street 10 minutes walk away from the Grand Bazaar. This proximity is where my appraisals end! The rooms are tiny and not very clean. No proper bedding is provided, the towels are old and there is no coffee in the room. Breakfast is better had in a cafe on the streets. I recommend: Find a different place.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Nice location, clean. Not luxurious. - The rooms are pretty small. Nice location, 5 min away from Grand bazar, 20 min away from Haga Sophia and the blue mosque. However, don't expect anything luxurious, which is fine if you only plan on using the hotel to spend the night. One thing, don't use their planning or tour services. They will charge a huge commission on everything they book for you (without telling you obviously). As an example, once, they told us that a shuttle costs 15 euros and when we checked directly with the shuttle company, it was only 10 Euros. They convinced us to take a private shuttle since there were 5 of us. Then, we realized that the shuttle they booked for us wasn't private, as another group of people was there. Did they get the entire trip cost from 2 groups who each thought the shuttle was private? I don't know.
• jorunn (4/5): bra beliggenhet, styr unna frokosten - imøtekommende personale, små rom, ufattelig dårlig frokost, ikke betjent frokostsal, manglet brød..
• Yves H. (6/5): Etablissement sans prétentions très bien situé - Etablissement très bien situé abordable, propre et sans fioritures. Confort spartiate, chambre un peu petite mais tout à fait acceptable pour un séjour court. Terrasse agréable pour prendre un petit déjeuner correct.
• Vaniza (8/5): Funcionários super prestativos e atenciosos. - O quarto e principalmente o banheiro era bastante pequeno. Mas estava bem limpo. A localização, próximo ao Grand Bazar e a a atenção que recebemos dos funcionários nos faz recomendar este hotel.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Bad experience - The room is very small you can't move in it, the quality of clients are below average the Internet connection is terrible, the staff don't speak English the breakfast is poor the safe box is broken I will never use it again I don't think it is a 3 stars hotel
• Daniel (8/5): Nära till "allt"! - Detta hotell rekommenderas varmt för den som vill ha nära till de större sevärdheterna i Istanbuls gamla stadsdel Sultanahmet. Hotellet ligger på promenadavstånd till exempelvis spårvagnshållplatsen (Beyazit) och tar ca 3 - 5 minuter från hotellet. Med spårvagn tar man sig enkelt och snabbt till andra sevärdheter i närheten. Bayazit-moskén och bokmarknaden Sahaflar Carsisi liksom Stora basaren ligger knappt 300 meter från hotellet. Blå moskén, Hagia Sofia och Topkapimuseet ligger bara två hållplatser längre bort eller en promenad på mellan 15 och 20 minuter. Det var läget som fick mig att välja detta hotell. Kan verkligen rekommendera att resa till Istanbul!
• Verified traveler (10/5): Familienhotel - Super war das reichhaltige Frühstück über den Dächern von Istanbul
• Verified traveler (6/5): Geht so...wenn man einfach nur ein Zimmer braucht. - Aufenthalt war "naja"im Hotel hat mich nichts umgehauen.der Ausblick von oben aufs Meer existiert zwar, ist aber nicht auf dem Bosporus sondern af die Seite des Meers, wo nur binnenverkehr ist. Personal fand ich zum Teil sehr unfreundlich, fast schon eine Null Bock Haltung. Das Zimmer war nicht das beste, hatte aber auch einmal ein schlechteres in Paris. Es war zwar aufgeräumt, aber in den Schubladen waren noch kippen und Zeitung, und ich glaube nicht, dass es zum Service gehört (Zeitung von vor drei Tagen). Frühstück war das nötigste. Brot, Marmelade, Käse, Aufschnitt, Oliven. Einzig die Lage war echt Super. In max. 10 min. War man beim großen Bazar, an einer strassenbahnstation. Aber nochmal würde ich das Hotel nicht nehmen.
• Riky (4/5): Lascia perdere - camera sporca e rumorosa... il bagno...ve lo lascio immaginare.. La colazione pessima... prodotti di bassissima qualità...
• Verified traveler (2/5): Very Unsatisfied - One of the worst places I have stayed in, from the description provided on your site to what was the reality is totally incorrect. I would never recommend this to my enemy.
• Verified traveler (4/5): God beliggenhet ,gode senger og lave priser - Hotellet hadde meget god beliggenhet og svært gode senger og var rimelig i pris. Det er også stort sett det positive man kan si. Betjeningen var hyggelige, men engelskkunnskapene var svært mangelfulle og gjorde det vanskelig å kommunisere. Den flotte froskostbufeen vi var forespeilet, var en sterk overdrivelse. Det var dårlig utvalg, men det hadde vært greit dersom det lille de hadde var blitt fylt opp når det var tomt. Måtte hver dag spørre etter glass, skjeer og boller til å ha froksotblandingen i og her var ikke betjeningen spesielt blide. Vi var forespeilet et rom med dobbeltseng + enkeltseng ,sjøutsikt , kjøkken og peis (!), men fikk et knøtt lite rom med 3 senger, utsikt til bakgård, ikke kjøkken og peis ( det siste var noe vi ikke savnet). At et hotell ikke svarer til forventningene og at man må innse at man får det man betaler for, er greit. Det å bli forespeilet noe du ikke får, gjør at jeg nok ikke vil ta inn på dette hotellet igjen.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Poor Location, Poor Breakfast, Average Staff - The hotel location is extremely bad as it's very hard to find . The map provided by the hotel is extremely misleading, I had to take half an hour to find the hotel. There are at least over a few dozens hotels in this area, it's impossible to ask the people on the street as they also have no idea or not hearding the hotel at all. The hotel room is just ok, simple and looks clean. The breakfast is not suitable to me, and I only eaten their bread. Coffee, tea and juice are not that acceptable to me too, so i only drink the water. The neighbourhood seems not very safe, however, the people there actually quite nice and not disturbing you at all, even at late night. The staff is ok and some are quite friendly and helpful, while some are not. The good part is there are so many restaurant and shops in this area, and it's close to all the main attractions, it would be an good option when you are in budget and also when you have known how to get there.
• John (6/5): Hotel location was good once you know it. - It was difficult to find on the map. Rooms were very small. The staff were not making the unless you would bring to manages attention. The service for airport was very expensive.
• John (8/5): Sembol Hotel review - comfy but noisy. - Sembol is very comfortable and the staff are friendly and knowledgable. The room rate was very good value and the location is just right - close to the main historical parts of Istanbul, and also close to the Tram. The Breakfast Room is great - with views of the Golden Horn from the top floor as you take your coffee. The only problem was noise - not from the area around the hotel, which was quiet, but from inside the hotel. There is a problem with the internal acoustics which means I could hear other guests closing doors, walking up and down the marble steps and even people having conversations on other floors.
