Guest Reviews

Theresa (8/5): - Prime location to airport shuttle and attractions with good staff.
Trenee (2/5): - I didn't like that the room I selected said city view in double bed. They me lower floor with no view. Next morning lady manager made it right. The rooftop was closed which is why I booked. The staff was rude as ever. I called down for an iron was told they would bring it right up, after 5 mins or longer I went down stairs and asked the man with glasses who sits in the office about iron. I walked up and he was like " they going to bring it". I told him I've been waiting and have to get dressed for a tour and needed to know when. He said another guest may be using and I asked can he call housekeeping to check he was really irritated and so was I. He did finally called housekeeping and she told him she'll bring it right to me. As I was going to my room I seen the nicest housekeeper who went right to get it as I waited. I got dressed and wanted tissue and fresh towels, walked down to where I seen housekeeping working in room and asked for tissue and towels. Again it was the nice lady and another lady. The other lady looking at my like I'm asking for her life but the nice lady proceeded to get the items and gave them to me. Before check out I seen housekeeper was asking was she doing my room I want to tip her again. I asked the male worker to translate it he didn't even listen and just kept telling me to go to front desk. I did explain to lady manager and she translated for us. I don't recommend if American/solo traveler dont get same treatment as other guest. I booked new hotel
Riyad (10/5): - Amazing hotel very safe and in the best location in all of Istanbul. 5 minute walk from the blue mosque, 9 minutes from sultanahmet station. Highly recommend!
Ivor (8/5): - Great location for the price. Hotel a little tired, roof top bar was closed. Nonetheless, hotel did a great job and I had no complaints at all.
Mohammed (6/5): - Property was very close to Blue Mosque, which was visible from their rooftop terrace. Within walking distance of Topkapi Palace and the Grand Bazaar. Hotel buildings are quite dated and has steps to the front to get in. Room was clean but basic.
Aruna (8/5): Appreciated the front desk! - There are 2 drinking glasses in the room: one was cracked & the other has lip & finger marks on it ⚠️ Honestly cannot answer the parking question as I didn’t need it. The front desk upgraded my room when I presented him with my issue. That issue was about the stale, damp smell of my initial room assignment. It’s an old hotel, I get it, charming in its own right (friendly staff for sure) but cannot ignore the smell. I appreciate being taken care of and my new room (still has the smell though definitely not as strong) was sooo much better! I would open the curtains to see the Blue Mosque right outside my window ☺️ Also make note: location is perfect; everything I wanted to see was so easy to get to!
Dramane (4/5): - Bathroom was old, carpet old, hotel need remodeling. This is not a 4 stars hotel. It’s a 2 star. Will not recommend
Peter (2/5): - Our door could not be locked. Mould growing in the bathroom. One of the drinking glasses had not been washed for months. Stains on the bedding. Overpriced and under performed.
MIGUEL (6/5): - Nice staff .really polite
Nazia (6/5): - Booking for ground floor but gave top floor room Key card didn’t work on several occasions Felt coerced into going on a boat ride when we first arrived (which was not quite to my taste) Strong smell of tobacco randomly in our room Staff in general quite helpful
Liantao (8/5): - Very convenient location and staffs are friendly
Teodorina (8/5): - Excellent location and service, the breakfast was like at home.
Benjamin (8/5): A good start to beautiful Istanbul! - A comfortable hotel in an excellent location - close to almost everything.
fazal (8/5): - Good location next to the blue masjid but breakfast is not good
tasneem (8/5): - Beautiful hotel walking distance from blue mosque and Sophia Hagia. Felt safe walking out late night. Hotel staff and welcoming and friendly. Good breakfast for a fraction price when added to booking. I would recommend this place, will definitely be coming back.
Hoang D (6/5): An everage place to stay - Average hotel within walking distance to major attractions. Room is fair and not all rooms can be accessible by elevator.
Oksana (2/5): - I booked this hotel only because they promised my Expedia agent to provide free airport shuttle to/from IST Airport. They do NOT offer shuttle and didn’t arrange a pick up for me. I had to pay for the taxi 80 Euros ( both ways). Breakfast starts at 8 am. I asked to wake me up at 5 am, they called at 4 am. I arrived at 11pm night before, I was waiting for transportation for 3 hours in the Airport, where I had to ask strangers for help, Wi-Fi at the airport didn’t work on my phone. They don’t provide even a bottle of water and didn’t offer breakfast in the box to go. Room is VERY small, 5 by 6 feet. Noisy. Bathroom smells like sewage. No normal shower-only hose on the wall, like for the bide. Very shabby place, no exit signs. Personal doesn’t speak decent English or Russian and apparently they are stupid, if can not even wake up people on time. Extremely disappointed. Do NOT stay at this property. They don’t care at all.
Savash (10/5): - Amazing staff and a brilliant area to stay around. Everything was walking distance. Really nice breakfast as well.
Chak Yin (4/5): I wish my girlfriend used their photographer - When I got to my room I discovered that a curtain was just hanging by one connector, the bed was not properly set, which appeared that someone had already used it, as there were hairs on the pillow, bits of toothpaste in the sink and a pair of used socks in the bin. I went to reception to report this and was condescending told that I could have used the phone in the room. I went back to the room and after a bit of searching, I found the phone in the bathroom. To add insult to injury, the phone was also broken. It took several requests to the desk to get this sorted and after a few hours, they managed to sort out a few of the problems before I gave up and opted to get some sleep. The next morning I was able to look around the hotel and discovered the photos of this hotel is similar to dating apps where people post their best pictures, but has a considerable gap with reality. The outdoor space is cluttered with slightly disturbing garden ornaments and the lawn is mainly weeds. The reception area has a big section separated out and used as offices, which is different to the photos. In general it was very disappointing when compared to the photos they provided for the public areas. My room had seen better days and the furnishings were worn. I’m not sure if my room was haunted, as the robe they provided had several large holes as if it had been involved in some violent activity and I could hear voices in my room, which is strange as they are supposed to be soundproof.
Philip (2/5): Poor and over-priced add-ons. - Stained sheets, foul smelling bathroom, beers at over 10 Euros each plus a service charge added. Out-dated and run down with limited facilites.
Irfan (2/5): - Not a recommended place to stay
Johnlawrence (10/5): - Very close to the blue mosque in fact could see it from the bedroom window. Not suitable for people with walking difficulties as it’s entrance door is up stairs. Staff fantastic and good breakfasts
fahim uddin (10/5): - It was great and comfy verall was great
Verified traveler (10/5): - The room was clean, staff very nice, breakfast was delicious. Thank you for everything.
Richard (8/5): - Excellent location close to the main sights, and good breakfast.
Pam (6/5): - Staff were friendly. My room “suite” was very small, the first two days of our stay we didn’t have hot water in the shower, tv was in black and white. Breakfast was very poor. Location is great but it could be very noisy as well.
Verified traveler (10/5): - The staff was very knowledgeable and helpful. They always had time to help us know our way around the city and to guide us to the best places to see. The only disappointment was that the terrace restaurant was closed. However, the lower level restaurant provided the most wonderful and delicious breakfast each morning of our stay, which was included.
Riaz (6/5): - Hotel was good overall
Adrian (6/5): Could be so much better. - They downgraded our room from a deluxe to a standard room. Great location but hotel has not been well maintained.
Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice staff and good location. Small rooms but very clean.
Verified traveler (2/5): - I dont recommend to anybody....................................
Farooq (6/5): - Hotel has a very good location only few minutes walking to Blue Mosque and Haghia Sophia. The hotel is very traditional and especially staff are really helpful. We stayed in a family suite room and the room was nice but just had the following issues during our stay: =>Broken toilet seat on arrival. =>Bathroom stinks due to poor shower drainage, reported to reception but didn’t improve. =>Poor internet connectivity in room – intermittent disconnection. =>Room service was not keeping up room refreshment refills such as tea bags or coffee so we have to request the reception every day for refills.
Verified traveler (6/5): - not as expected,we had to move room due to blocked sink in the bathroom
Verified traveler (6/5): - Staff were not particularly friendly, and accommodation pretty basic given the cost.
Verified traveler (8/5): - It has good location , the staff are very good . A bit far to reach bedroom and breakfast can have different variety from day to day but in general was v good
Verified traveler (8/5): - The hotel was nice and clean. The staffs were friendly.
Asif (10/5): Excellent .. - Is a lovely hotel. the check-in was efficient Staff were very friendly. very good Breakfast, very good wifi, Room is nice, i am very impressed about Power shower is a wonderful hot water, Location was great. Not too far from blue mosque, and Grand bazar, lots of Restaurant nearby and shopping. Overall it was a good and I will chose to stay again at this hotel if travelling to istanbul. good value for money, Overall experience was good...Recommended.
Anita M (10/5): Receptionist contributed to great stay at Sarnic - My 1-night stay at Sarnic Hotel was excellent. The receptionist (Baha) was particularly friendly, helpful, knowledgeable & informative. The bed was very comfortable & the shower nice & warm!
Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice hotel, cheap and near the tourist spots. The blue mosque is really near
Zahra (4/5): - This hotel is within a nice location, however i wouldnt give it 4 stars at all, as the room had a few problems like the toilet seat being broken(which was changed after we complained), TV doesnt work (we were told that if we go out and come back it will be fixed but nothing has happened) one of the table lamps at the bed side doesnt work. We Were told that there is a lift and then we realised that the lift is in the next building, so having a baby and a pushchair was very difficult to carry in and out everyday as the entrance of the hotel has 10 steps. As well as going through a narrow corridoor and again going down 3-4 steps to reach the lift in the next building. Bed sheets were not changed for the whole week although they were dirty, instead the dovet cover was flipped over. Breakfast was ok, they could improve on the bread though.
Verified traveler (4/5): - The room I was in smells, I notified the reception and nothing was done, the smell comes from the sewage pipes, the entrance to the hotel is complicated through another hotel. The street is noisy
Verified traveler (8/5): - Good location. Breakfast was very limited and should be better with more variety!
Emina (10/5): Fabulous memories - Fabulous location and lovely building with a view of the Blue Mosque in the Old City. Helpful and friendly staff who looked after our every need. Outstanding !
khalada (4/5): Friendly staff however ac, bed cooler was terrible - Not happy about the ac, bed gave me extreme back pains never going to use this hotel again. Night staff were rude.
Verified traveler (8/5): Wonderful location. .everything just walking dis. - Out location. .helpful staff. GM sach a nice person. ..
Azhar (2/5): - This trip was very successfully for us in Istanbol. I will give my friends to your hotel address.
Melike (10/5): Friendly Staff - Everything was so nice about the hotel The staff try their best to make you happy Very close to all touristic places only a walking distance away
Verified traveler (10/5): Sarnic, the heart of Istanbul - Sarnic hotel is located in in the heart of Istanbul. It's very close by to all the famous attractions. It was so easy to find our way around the city. Staff at Sarnic were incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful, especially Sinan the General Manager. Our whole experience was an unforgettable one and we'll definitely cherish the memories for many years to come.
Verified traveler (8/5): Nice hotel.Good Breakfast - Worth for money you spend. Walking distance to Blue Mosque, Hagasofia, Topkapi Museum, Street Foods. All tourist attractions r close by.
Verified traveler (10/5): Nice hotel near to everything u need to - Beautiful experience very nice staff wonderful breakfast
Alveena (6/5): Mediocre - The hotel was at favourable location. But the cleanliness of the room we stayed in was terrible. The bathroom was very dirty, toilet seat broken and dirty. The shower was hard to adjust. They gave very few toilet rolls, on the second day of our stay they didn't even provide room service and had to request for a toilet roll. There was no shower gel just alot of shampoo and conditioner. Will not be recommending this hotel.
Gareth (10/5): Friendly & perfectly located - Our stay was memorable indeed. Sarnic is very well-managed, clean, quiet and just round the corner from the Blue Mosque and the heart of historic Sultanahmet.
sam (10/5): Very nice and good stuff very helpfull and friendl - Very helpfull and friendly stuff very clean hotel and very good location

elliott (8/5): Great location and brilliant staff - Really close to the Blue mosque and Hagia Sofia. Really helpful staff at a great price too (Feb 2017).
Anthony (8/5): Nice hotel in Old city centre - Easy access to city centre. Nice and rich in story.
Verified traveler (10/5): Lovely hotel right by main attractions - Fantastic location. Walking distance to all major attractions. Small hotel a little tired but fits the bill. Clean warm and comfy. Would thoroughly recommend the hotel and staff are great
Pilar & Andres (10/5): Great Hotel @ Sultanahmet - Very nice Hotel, near from the best arqueological and cultural places. The breakfast with tradicional options and the terrace with a view of the Blue Mosque. Easy to Walk in the old city Perfect Hotel and good service, enjoy the days in Istanbul and walk around the old city
Verified traveler (10/5): Great location in Sultanahmet - I spent a week in this hotel and had a relaxed and calm sejour. Totally recommended for couples.
Verified traveler (8/5): Tourist - For the most part, it was good. They need to do a few fine tune ups to the room. Toilet flushing system not the best. The light on the Mirror not hooked up.
Verified traveler (6/5): Not bad - The hotel is good and in quite area, but it is far from main attractions. You have to walk long distance to find transportation.
narda (10/5): Excellent stay - The hotel is located very close to the main spots, the neighborhood is plenty of restaurants, coffee shops, tourist agencies and stores The service is very nice, the staff is more than helpful and kind. The breakfast is tasty and plenty of different options to try local food. The rooms were very comfy and clean. I definitely recommend it :)
kizzi (10/5): Nice hotel 🏩. Main reason for very good location - As long as I concern hotel 🏩 and location is for a holiday perfect. Also staff is very friendly and helpful. Also very clean. All this I want. What else you want.
ferg (10/5): nice place to stay - Close to everything , very central to the main tourist spots . But yet on a quiet street location . So a good rest on good beds . Great water pressure in showere and piping hot water . Good continental breakfast , good array and variety , fresh and beautifully presented buffet style . Friendly and helpful . Good standard of English and other languages spoken . Blue mosque right outside window . Where would you get it ? . And picture added is literally under the hotel . The history .....
E (8/5): You get what you pay. - Make sure the mini bar is complete or verify every day if your are not using anything to avoid disagreements,we could not enjoy breakfast because of the time change and tours, overall really friendly staff.
Verified traveler (6/5): Decent hotel but not amazing. - Decent hotel. Had the balcony view from the 3rd room looking over the blue mosque but the view was slightly obstructed by other buildings in bad condition. All 4 rooms had a sewage smell coming from the bathroom but apparently that's the issue with the city in general being a historic city with old plumbing system. Quiet area to stay in and only 10 minutes walk tops to the tourist area.
Dan (8/5): Great hotel in great location vs smell - Everything was perfect in the hotel, clean rooms with a lot of details and decorations, clean bathroom, friendly stuff that always offered assistance in everything we needed and extraordinary view through the window. Free breakfast, free shuttle to and from airport, good food. The only thing that bothered us was stink coming of drain system once in a while. Other all it has a great management and amazing manager. Thank you Tarik
Joe (10/5): Revenge of the free kebab - Nice clean hotel. Friendly and helpful staff. Amazing location next to the blue mosque and 5 mins walk from basically all major attractions. Lacks nightlife in the area - a 20 min to taxim square corrects thay though The main bonus of this hotel is the staff. I ate a dodgy free kebab on the weekend after a few beers. Woke the next day..wanted to die. Had to checkout at 12. Not good. Went to reception in my vunerable state and the staff helped me so much. Arranged my airport transfer, got me pain relief, water, anything I needed. Even took me to a back room to sleep in comfort. No gym or pool, so minor minus there. Genuinely awesome. I'd have just thrown me out, if I was them. Useless tourists. Thanks guys!
Deiniol (10/5): A most welcoming and convenient hotel - I needed a hotel at fairly short notice at a location convenient for travelling extensively in Istanbul over a few days in connection with work and visits to friends. The hotel not only met these requirements, but is a hotel that I could recommend without hesitation to anyone. The Manager and his team are courteous, competent, efficient and well-organised. Their outlook and attitude are most professional. The room was very quiet and comfortable and spotlessly clean. The staff were helpful in connection with some travel questions. Breakfast is excellent and the lasting impression is one of having had a convenient and comfortable stay and having been welcomed with great respect, graciousness and courtesy.
Lisa (6/5): Air Freshener Overload - Let me start by saying that the hotel is in a wonderful location near the Blue Mosque. The Deluxe room had a nice view of the mosque. However, the bathroom smelled horrible and then use of air freshener was overwhelming. Someone took a lot of care in decorating, but then things like bent stencils on the wall or trim coming off the lights really ruined it. They have a wonderful view from the roof but leave no furniture out for customers to enjoy it. They said it was winter but the weather was gorgeous. The breakfast didn't start until 8 which is not good for people going off on tours. Also the hotel offes free shuttle to airport, but the last shuttle is like 4 pm. I was disappointed in how the hotel pushed overpriced tours instead of actually offering a good price, but they did their own markups. You can go to nearby places for the same tours at a lower price. Most of all I didn't feel they were friendly at all. I always felt like they acted like they were doing me a favor.
fifidred (8/5): - A good clean friendly hotel close many of the major attractions of Istanbul and the tram. Good breakfast offering a range if traditional turksish dishes. The staff are there to help at all times and will activities. It is close to a wide range of restaurants and the Grand Bazaar.
Abdul (8/5): Excellent location, great hotel with friendly and - Selected and booked the Sarniç Hotel via a combined hotel and flight booking. Had read some reviews of the hotel and also with the location of the hotel being very adjacent to the blue mosque, it made my choice easier (it took me 8 mins from my room on the third floor to the actual inside of the mosque via the courtyard - at my age!). I also opted for the Initial booking option of a breakfast and the blue mosque view from the room. Four days before our travel date I contacted the hotel via email to notify them of the requirement for a shuttle service from Ataturk airport for two passengers. There are 2 email addresses for the hotel and I sent the request to both just to make sure. By the next day the request for the shuttle service was confirmed by the manager Tarik (who later was to be a great help and advisor at the hotel). After our arrival at Istanbul Ataturk airport we were met by our driver who had a placard with my name on it. It took about 25 mins for the drive from the airport to the hotel. At the hotel reception we were met by the manager Tarik where all the formalities of the checking-in process were completed (including the wifi password). Additionally he offered us further information and advised us to contact him if we needed anything. One of the hotel staff took our luggage and ushered us to our room on the third floor with the blue mosque view that we had requested. The room was clean and tidy as expected with everything working including the A/C-heater unit.
Happy Voyage:) (10/5): A wonderful experience not forget - Although it was not included in our original vacation plans as we had booked a separate trip to Spain and Morocco. We only added Istanbul as our Turkish airline flight to Madrid had a connection in Istanbul. And truth be told. We are really glad with our visit to Istanbul and our stay in this hotel twice within three weeks time. I booked the hotel online after reading few reviews. Our 3 night plus 4 nights included free airport pickup and drop off and breakfast. I started with Emails to the hotel manager Tarek followed by few phone calls just to make sure about the pickup (as someone had complained in one review). Each time email was replied and phone was answered very courteously, assuring there will be someone just outside the airport with my name card. We arrived on October 8th, 2016. There sure was a gentleman with my name card out there. There was a slight delay for the pickup van to arrive due to construction and high volume of traffic. I would suggest to other travelers to be a little patient. The van driver spoke little English but was a very cheerful young man. He suggested where to visit and where to go for shopping. Now to the hotel and and the staff. As mentioned earlier, beside General Manager Tarek, his assistant Islam, Tahir, the cleaning lady, and rest of the staff was amazing. They were always available. Day or night with suggestions and guidance. My wife and I both loved daily breakfast choice. Excellent coffee. Thanks Tarek, Islam and Tahir and everyone
Faisal Tariq (10/5): Amazing experience - Couldn't have selected a better hotel to stay in. The location was perfect the hotel was perfect. Genuine sincere management running this hotel who always go out to their way to make sure they can help their guests in anyway. Thank you Tariq and team for the great service and your honest advice when asked. Regards Faisal Tariq
Verified traveler (6/5): Overall had a great holiday in Istanbul - The hotel is not bad, minor things did not work, but for the price you can't complain.
Ruth (8/5): General comment - We enjoyed ourselves very much and would recommend it to friends and family, elderly and young people as well.
KABIR (8/5): Nice Hotel close to all major attraction - Very good of the money. very neat and clean, staff were helpful. Small Hotel, but every major attraction in walking distance. You can book long distance attraction at Hotel, even there are facilities available around the corner with other Tour Operators. Even you can bargain in off season. If you are fancy of good living in that case please take any good freshener (spray) with you. Daily House keeping without any reminder is plus point. changing of Bed sheets etc. is normal. This give the Hotel minimum 4 stars. Breakfast is normal.

well traveled (10/5): Istanbul is dangerous - I've been to Istanbul before & loved it. But it is now a lawless devious place. A friend & I were tricked into joining a seeming sweet unthreating local for a drink. We ended up being robbed & fearing for our lives. No one wanted to help us ...the hotel staff told us ur happens all the time as if it's the usual tour for visitors...where are the police? Avoid Turkey.
yahya (4/5): Not a 4 stars hotel - Used to go to near by hotels but wanted to try this hotel after Expedia recommendations as a 4 stars hotel , and it wasn't at all the smell in the room was terrible in the 4 days of staying meanwhile not well maintained , they have a problem with the water system corrosion color in water and very small room, nice location.

MUHMMAD SALMAN (8/5): EXCURSION ISTANBUL - The rooms are well maintained/decorated to meet international travellers requirement, though small but staff is very cooperative and helpful in providing guidance for tourism. The best part is free to and fro airport shuttle which gives real piece of mind.
Angelo (8/5): Excellent location, extraordinary team - Hotel is perfectly located in the Historic part of the European district. Most of the important and must see attractions are within a walking distance. Reasonable breakfast, and very helpful team.
Maria (8/5): Locally-Owned hotel with charm - Friendly and helpful staff, especially Taric (sp?). Decent small continental breakfast with good coffee, juice, local breads, jams, and cheeses. Great view of the Blue Mosque. Literally a five minute walk to the Blue Mosque and a few more steps to the Hagia Sofia. There is a bazaar nearby, too. The room was comfortable with a small shower restroom; no bathtub. Don't expect posh, but it's a charming place with local color. Only disappointment: the rooftop terrace is currently closed! Wish I'd known before I booked, but they say renovations will be finsiiehd in a few weeks.
Verified traveler (8/5): Convenient for Prices - Was Ok
Nisreen (10/5): Nice hotel, great staff - The hotel staff are very kind and friendly. Our room was nice and clean. The shower was great. Excellent location 4 minute walk to the nearest tram station. Would definitely go back.

Rosa (10/5): Birthday weekend - I want to thank the hotel for their great sevice during my Birthday weekend. My daughter was visiting me from spain and we had a great time in Istanbul. The staff did an outstanding job.
Adrian (10/5): “Excellent Value, Location and Quality. - The Sarnic Premier Hotel was just wonderful. The staff were so hard working and friendly. The room was far better than we'd expected for the money we'd paid. The location could not have been better - just behind the Blue Mosque, although beware the call to prayer at 5.30 am!! The breakfast buffet was great. Best of all, though, was our daily room maid - she was so thorough with such a professional attention to cleanliness. We felt valued as guests and not just as numbers passing through. I would recommend this hotel without reservation.
alexei s (8/5): Nice hotel close to major attractions - Convenient location, clean rooms, good breakfast, friendly staff
Tahira Kadiri (10/5): The staff were amazing! - Loved the hotel, the amazing view of the blue mosque from the room AND rooftop and the amazing staff!!! Very happy with the service, always helpful when I needed translating! Will deffo return to Sarnic premier hotel, ten minute walk to the blue mosque, five minute walk from the Arista bazaar and fifteen minute walk to the grand bazaar!!
Verified traveler (2/5): Avoid this hotel - The hotel's only good point is its convenient location, inside the Old City. The rest is simply bad: hotel staff are non-professional, the room is small,old and smells unpleasantly. It is not a professionally run hotel. I had booked the room through Expedia, but when I arrived in Istanbul I could not stay there. I opted to lose the money I had paid and move to a better hotel rather than to ruin my holiday. Expedia is completely wrong about the rating of this hotel. It should be rated one star, and under no circumstances could get a four star rating.
Tasneem (8/5): Great view! Helpful staff. - The hotel wasn't bad. My mother's room had a few issues as far as a light had a short in it but over all the staff was very friendly and helpful. Their breakfast was good and the hotel was very clean. They setup private cars/shuttles for everywhere we needed to go and they always had a coupon to offer us for different places. Regardless of the few smaller issues we all said we would stay there again.
