Guest Reviews
- nito2112 (10/5): A wonderful Hotel - What a perfect hotel to spend 3 Nights in. Excellent service, staff have been so helpful and Professional. Rooms 100% hygenic comfortable and very clean. The breakfast every morning was freshly served. A great Buffet with such a wide choice of fresh food and delicious coffee! Extra service they paid atrenrion to all Details. My sons birthday in the evening was celebrated in the hotel Restaurant. You will not be disappointed. A very big Thankyou to Sedat, Sinan and Ahmet. Very professional staff who helped organise for me my sons birthday celebration from ordering ballons in the room to tshirts and Birthday Cake! The best team! Thankyou ONCE again for making Our trip with 7 people the best stay. Great hotel perfect location and the Most friendliest professionell staff
- andra9N (10/5): Our room was cozy and spotless, and the breakfast each morning was delicious (I still miss the variety!) - We had such a lovely stay at Momento! The location was perfect—just a short walk to all the beautiful sights of Istanbul. The staff were incredibly kind and always had a smile, which made us feel right at home. Our room was cozy and spotless, and the breakfast each morning was delicious (I still miss the variety!). Thank you to the whole team for making our trip extra special—we’ll definitely come back next time!
- Lloyd (6/5): - It was ok
- Noura (10/5): - Everything was good
- Excursion25756037757 (10/5): Hadack free staying at Momento hotel. - We spent three nights at Momento Hotel and were very pleased with our stay. The room was spotless and had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable with fluffy pillows. Towels were changed daily and amenities restocked. The staff were kind and helpful. Breakfast was tasty with a good variety. It's close to major sights. I’d definitely return and highly recommend this hotel.
- Mbangala (8/5): - In general the hotel is good because I’ve been there before. My only issue is the Wi-Fi kept on playing up and as a family man in a foreign country I don’t like that especially if I’ve paid for my time to be there.
- AniruddhaD97 (10/5): Nice Hotel in Old City - We stayed there for one night and had a very pleasant experience. While situated in the Old City, it is a little away from the historical sites of Hagia Sophia etc.. However this is in a main shopping area. The standard rooms facing the street are quite large for a hotel in the Old City and the Breakfast was really good
- enjeekay (10/5): home away from home - The reception staff were smiling and welcoming. The rooms were well appointed, had a comfortable bed and fluffy pillows. Though the rooms were small it was okay as we had come to room only for sleeping at night. The breakfast spread was great and one could start the day on a great note. There were options to shop nearby. The tram line T1 was about a ten minute walk away, the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Basilica Cistern were close by- 20 minutes walk or 3 stops on the tram line from Beyazit. Plenty of ATM counters nearby.
- Mevlüt (4/5): schlechte Umgebung - Seitengasse - nicht zu empfehlen - schlechte Lage - umgebung schlecht
- ionm450 (10/5): Good experience. - Hotel Momento is a reference for the quality of services. The staff at the reception, services and restaurant, kind and well trained. Congratulations, we will be back with pleasure next time. Ion Mandres
- Nidaalaska (10/5): Very Convenient. - The staffs are very helpful, very knowledgeable of places to visit for first time visitor as my myself. Very affordable and the property is clean and is in a convenient location. The breakfast is great! They even hold my luggage I needed for Greece until I finished touring around Turkey. I highly recommend this place.
- Bernadette (10/5): - Exceeds expectation … great location & staff is very helpful & friendly
- BERNADETTE (10/5): - Great Hotel ! Hotel crew are very approachable & very helpful most specially the front desk & Dinning staff “ Great & convenient location !
- CIPRIAN-GABRIEL (10/5): Good location, great breakfast. - Excellent location, great free breakfast, very good value for money!
- Kaveh (2/5): - Located in very noisy, busy area and not having any parking spaces unless you pay 10 euros per night and not to mention you have to live the area with your car before 10am and not be able to get back your car to parking space before 9pm, located in restricted area due to lots of wholesale businesses around.room was located in non smokers floor but smells cigarettes all the time
- Amr (10/5): - Nice and modern facilities...great stay and location!
- Verified traveler (8/5): レセプション以外はほぼ完璧だと思うます。 - レセプションのおじさんが感じが悪かった以外は全て快適でした。
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nice hotel not that nice area - Staff working at this hotel is very helpful. Lady cleaned our room every day and even changed the sheets during our 4 days stay. Breakfast was good. The only downturn is carpet so dirty :(
- Hakan (8/5): - Sehr freundliches Personal. Lage ideal für Ausflüge in die nähere Umgebung. Sauberkeit in Ordnung.
- afaisal2 (6/5): Nice But❗️ - Everything was fine but the hotel is located in a busy whole sale market (noisy and crowded market)! You should choose this hotel if you are planning to buy a lot of things from Grand Bazar or Mahmood Basa market. The staff was friendly, I would like to thank Mr. Elvan for the warm welcome and the smiley face all day, My greetings also are extended to the all the staff. My advice to Mr. Ugur( in the reception) : You are doing you job anyway, Do it with a smile my Brother. Note ‼️ to those who likes to bring food with them or order food from outside the hotel by mobile apps or phone: The hotel policy (as they told me and insist on it) does not allow you to bring food with you or orders from any restaurant. They said we have a restaurant and toy should eat in it.
- eckop218 (2/5): Terrible rood stuff - After 6 years constantly visiting the hotel business or family trip today they gave as wrong room too small. I booked for 3 adults and child they gave me a room with single bed and teeling to me i didn't understand stand you when u booked and his colleague twlling to me they gave my room. So from the manager I hade this. Take. It or leave it with 2 years child pregnant women and my mother they left us on streey today because they are F..ck..ng stupid to arrange a room at least to find me a room in some other hotel as person who is regular customer and brought a lot of others. Thank you very much from the stuff.... Recommended not ever go there you pay for it.
- 658amrana (10/5): Momento bellhob's review - The bellhobs here are so kind, They do answer any questions and any wonders just friendly and they help you by more .. especially Velid That guy is soo friendly with anyone he knows more than his languagr For example he speaks Arabic proporly aswell as English so the turkish .. He helps you with any problem and solve it for the visitors İ would give the service for him a 5 stars easily and comfortably.
- MaisyK3 (10/5): Will definitly come back. - Location is perfect. Waking distance to many major attractions .View of the Bosphorous and Golden Horn from restaurant and rooftop bar is breathtaking. Hotel is small but very clean and tidy offering all the amenities in the room except a balcony. Staff is polite, helpful and efficient. Breakfast is ok but Food at restaurant is delicious especially the mixed grill dish. Will definetely return and recommend.
- Joseph (4/5): - The picture in the advert is not true representation of reality
- I3322LOlisao (10/5): Gorgeous hotel - We stayed 5 nights in a double room. Staff are polite and so helpful. Entire hotel is spotless and you can see lots of attention to detail. Covid safety is well in place and we saw staff cleaning door handles and lifts regularly. Room was beautiful. Everything you need for a relaxing stay. Even though it is on a busy street we slept very well with no noise disturbance. The mattress was comfy and the bed huge. Lovely bathroom with large rainfall shower and big towels. The location is perfect for all areas of Istanbul with ferry and tram stops very close. Would absolutely recommend and look forward to staying there again when we next visit this amazing city. Thank you Momento Hotel for a fabulous stay.
- 29292973 (8/5): Very good location and clean hotel. - We enjoyed the 5 days long stay . But they have one elevator and it is very small. Otherwise friendly staff and the hotel is clean. The location is perfect 5 minutes from the grand bazar and public transport.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - 전체적으로 만족스러운 숙박이었어요 방도 좋았고 조식도 맘에 들었어요 단지 주변이 복잡했으며 마트가 별루 없었어요 숙박만 보면 8,9인데 주변 상태가 -1,-2입니다
- jos_f979 (8/5): No reclamation - The Hotel has very small areas but clean and nice. The staff is nice, helpful and willing to solve problems even if it means to be firmly asked to... unfortunately a building was beeing demolished right next door ad the noise was an issue. The breakfast is OK and dinner really really good. The neighborhood is not the best (safest) but it's located about 500 mt of the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sophia. It's hard to reach by car at busy hours because of traffic and there's no parking.
- King (8/5): - The food from the restaurant disappointed us. Had very little taste. Obviously the Hotel was aiming at providing international cusine, but this was below standard. Also, breakfast had little variation during the week.We had excellent food in nearby local restaurants. The Hotel should consider this, because apart from breakfasts, there were hardly any person eating lunch or dinners there.
- sorielu (10/5): Vacation - Excellent hotel near Galata Tower, public transportation and Gran Bazaar. Staff very attentive and helpful. I arrived on my bday and as a courtesy they offered drinks and the next day when arrived from the excursion gave me beautiful red roses. Very happy with the service and accommodations.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Das Hotel war ein sauberes Hotel. Die Bahnstation war wenige gehminuten entfernt. Das Frühstück war auch gut aber leider nicht immer ausreichend. Das Personal tagsüber war recht freundlich aber ein bisschen aufdringlich. Das Nachtpersonal war nicht zum gebrauchen. Sie konnten weder fragen beantworten noch uns bei Problemen helfen. Beim auschecken haben sie uns nicht mal verabschiedet, den sie waren gereizt weil wir fragen stellten, die sie nicht beantworten konnten weil ihr englisch sooooo schlecht war. Sollten keine Probleme entstehen, die vom Personal erledigt werden müssen, ist das Hotel nicht schlecht
- Mhamed (8/5): - Positif
- belgradecritic (10/5): Good hotel! - Really good Hotel, surrounded with shops, near the main street and transportation. Sultanahmet area is very close, 10min walking. Good accommodation, a double bed room is enough, clean. Wifi is free, and available in the room also. Breakfast is good and enough. A bar in a room is acceptable with prices, so you don’t have to buy your drink in a store. We came so late, and the reception is open always, they were very kind and helpful. The Ataturk airport is not far away, approximately 20-30 min , and the price is 9-10€.
- Saleem (10/5): - Fantastic stay just few issues like not enough compliments on tray water ,sugaur , tea,
- catwhistle (6/5): Nice hotel but some service problems and smoking in restaurant!! - My first trip to Istanbul.. reserved 3 hotels and decided on this one. Based on location..some good reviews.. their website photos and facilities description. Good points.. fabulous position in trendy alternative Karakoy area near Galata Bridge.. Galata Tower and the historic tunnel tram up to Istiklal St in Beyoğlu. Room and bed very comfortable.. little bit of traffic noise through double glazing.. But too be expected in a vibrant city.. atmospheric.. not intrusive. Reception area has a bar.. didn't use this.. empty.. But looked ok. Reception staff were a bit dismissive of me over the week.. they talked to my Turkish male friend instead... not rude as such.. just felt like I was a bit of inconvenience to them.. not a lot of warmth in their service.. But then.. their English wasn't extensive.. we are in Turkey of course.. hmm Tht was negative point 1. Bathroom shower flooded all halfway carpet outside.. I think some harsh chemical smelling like mothballs was poured down it. Drank the room out for rest of week unless you kept bathroom door shut. Restaurant on top of hotel had stunning views. Breakfast was reasonable but expensive with not much hot food choice.. egg of some sort and usual cold meats olives etc. Cold buffet was ok. Coffee was ok first day then ended up with instant message rest of week for some reason. Was annoyed as a guest in hotel.. you still had to reserve to eat dinner..so only managed 2 nights in a week. Worst thing was .. they advertise room service... But when we called reception.. they had no clue.. said we had to call restaurant.. they were too busy and kept putting phone down on us! Extremely annoyed with this bad service. They did redeem themselves when my Turkish companion went to the restaurant and they were then able to fit us in. So hotel advertises room service but does not do it. The hotel advertises non smoking hotel.. But guests were freely smoking in the restaurant. I specifically wanted a non smoking hotel due to asthma issues.. this ruined my restaurant experience at breakfast too. The staff were slightly friendly by the end of the week but they need to sort out a few of these problems.. I gather hotel has only been open a year.. a good start.. popular restaurant. Mostly Turkish guests but it's off season so cannot comment about summer. This is a lovely hotel.. I would love to give it 5 stars but it's 3 for now because of the smoking... no room service as advertised.. and also having a reserved sign thrown on your table before I finished dinner!
- ritamsaha (8/5): A decent stay - Rooms are noticeably smaller than usual, service is brilliant, they allowed us to check in six hours before the stipulated time at no extra cost. It is a wonderful few minutes away from the Hagia Sophia.
- Clive (10/5): Turkey. Cool place. - Good food in restaurant. Nice place to stay. And helpful.
- Jose Luis (8/5): Buena relación precio calidad - Nos asignaron una habitación con una pequeña ventana que daba a una escalera de emergencia, luz y vista cero. solicité el cambio y me lo dieron a la mañana siguiente. Habitación cómoda, cama confortable, buen baño, limpio, desayuno 6 puntos, para mi gusto faltaban frutas, omelette o huevos revueltos sólo a veces, quesos muy salados. Ubicación correcta a 4 cuadras del tram. El servicio es un poco elemental y no hablan casi nada de inglés, es difícil comunicarse.
- bowen (6/5): - 酒店位置处于老城区室内，但是比较难找，位于一片商品批发集散地，所以来往人员比较复杂，酒店设施还可以，但是房间很小，比照片看上去小很多。
- Verified traveler (8/5): Klein und fein - Kleines sauberes, zentral gelegenes und gemütliches Hotel
- Verified traveler (8/5): Le personnel est froid - À ma grande surprise un de chef de l hotelne veux que je monte mes colis dans ma chambre et m a demandé de descendre la valise pour ranger mes affaires !!!!! Mr Mehmet est très serviable
- Ossi (8/5): Zentral gelegen - Hotel befindet sich zentral zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten von Istanbul. Sehr freundliches Team und auch sehr bemüht bei Hilfestellung. Hotel und Flughafentransfers schnell organisiert. Danke an das Hotel Momento Team
- Abdelghani (8/5): Très bien - Bon emplacement buffet riche je reviendrai avec plaisir
- salem (8/5): - Good and causy for couples and good location in old part of istanbul
- Verified traveler (10/5): Ins gedämmt sehr zufrieden - Das Hotel liegt in eine sehr lebhafte Gegend von Instanbul. Mein Zimmer liegt an der Staßenseite, Mann hört schon einiges in der Nacht, aber wenn Mann nicht so Lärmempfindlich ist, ist absolut in Ordnung für das-was ich bezahlt habe.
- Britt (8/5): Fint, billigt hotel - Fint lille hotel med god service. Ligger ikke mange minutters gang fra sporvogne. Gost kvarter, hvis man vil på sightseeing og shoppe.
- leila (6/5): hotel correcte - Un bon séjours sauf le petit déjeuner est toujours le même et le dernier de mon retour il mon fuité un sac (vol)
- Claudia (8/5): Hyggeligt lille hotel med perfekt beliggenhed - Lille hyggeligt hotel i en travl sidegade tæt på Grand Bazar. Værelset (408) var et lille værelse med en lille dobbeltseng, men perfekt for mig der boede alene på værelset. Meget venligt personale. Tagterrasse (dog uden møblering. Måske fordi det var november ?). Morgenmaden var ikke super interessant, men gjorde det den skulle :-) Jeg vil helt sikkert komme tilbage til hotellet !
- Verified traveler (10/5): Ideal zum Sightseeing - Sauberes schönes Hotel, sehr zentrale Lage, reichhaltiges Frühstück. Klasse!
- KRISHNA (8/5): Memorable stay - It was a very comfortable stay. We enjoyed it. There was no arrangement for tea/coffee making in the room. Please add this facility to make stay better. Location was very good All other amenities were nice. Airport transfer should be free.
- Doris (8/5): Layover in Istanbul - Very pleasant, we left very early in the morning and the staff made us sandwiches and had coffee and tea for us at 4am. No one does that for 7 people and children. No airport transportation so that was a disappointment
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Lovely hotel within walking distance of the grand bazaar, blue mosque, hagia sofia and the palace.
- Ramzy (6/5): central - Everything was fairly good except poor breakfast n small rooms!!!!
- Alex (10/5): Quiet clean and comfortable - Momento hotel is situated within walking distance to all the tourist sites in the sultan Ahmet area , as well as being close to the tram and metro. The staff are professional and prompt the rooms very clean and quiet, I would definitely stay again as I have previously.
- LI (10/5): Nice hotel - Nice location and nice hotel staff
- Kalpana (10/5): Very nice small hotel, good central location. - The hotel is in very convenient location to all the historic attractions, staff are very friendly and helpful. However no other guest entertainment facility or activities in the hotel. Restaurant is average with limited items on the menu.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Close to all the interessting things - Nice hotel. Nice city
- hideskin (8/5): Comfortable stay in Istanbul - There are plenty of small hotels in the part where I stayed, and even experienced taxi drivers could not reach easy. But the location is quite excellent.
- Mehrdad (10/5): Beautiful little cosy hotel, great location - We had a very pleasant brief stay at this hotel. The room was a little small, but the hotel was very clean and comfortable. Staff were very polite and helpful. Breakfast was excellent.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nice hotel about 10 minutes from the action - Hotel Momento is a bit difficult to find, but the staff is helpful (enough, they don't seem super enthusiastic but they'll help you out), the rooms are nice, and the breakfast spread is great. It's well situated about a 10 minute walk from the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia, and even closer to the grand bazaar if that's your kind of thing. They have a big "NO OUTSIDE FOOD OR DRINK" sign in the lobby and expect you to pay a few lira for a tiny bottle of water from the minibar, but there's a convenience store next door and no one objected to our bringing in large bottles of water. The restaurant on site is okay, and it's about a 30 minute ride to Ataturk Airport in a cab, 90 minutes or so to Sabiha Gokcen airport.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Clean, friendly and comfortable - A short walk to the Grand Bazaar, I picked this hotel for its location but was impressed by the clean, quiet rooms. I had a single room but my friends in the double had a balcony! The staff was helpful and took the time to explain anything you asked. And the breakfast buffet was more than you needed - a blend of Turkish and American foods. Overall, a great pick.
- Marcela (8/5): Central location but not a "nice" area - Hotel is very central - just a 5 minute walk (uphill) to the tram station and Grand Bazaar (great for shopping!). However, the area is not the nicest, and when we visited they were redoing the main street that goes down to the hotel, so it was even not good for walking. However, for the price this is definitely a good deal. The breakfast was mediocre and the eating area is small so the first day we had to wait for a little while to get a table. Overall, a good deal.
- Peter (10/5): Very convenient clean hotel - I stayed only for one night waiting for a transfer to Uganda. I have no complaints at the Hotel. The location is also excellent if you want to visit the city quickly, like me. Rooms are very neat.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Ideal spot - Very conveniently located to the historical sites like Sultanahmet, Topkapi Palace, Cistern, Haggia Sofia, plus Grand Bazar. The tram trains are within walking distance. It was very easy to travel to all places with only 2 Turkish Lira. Breakfast was very good at the hotel. Lots of restaurants were located nearby. Most streets were full of shopping malls of leather, bags, shoes, clothes etc. The sea was also very close with lots of fish restaurants. Hotel rooms were small but clean. The hotel offers taxi services to and from Airport within range of 30 to 50 TL.
- S.M. (6/5): Not what we expected - Online, an original price which was representative of a 5 star hotel was slashed out with a more reasonable price noted. The room was not worth the discounted price. The hotel is crammed into a very noisy, busy, dirty area of wholesale vendors - not as the photo would suggest online. The hotel was virutally unrecognizable from the online photo. Yes, it' right by the Bazaar. So if this is what you want, then go for it. The room is extremely small - much smaller than the photos suggest. We spent time with an Istanbul native, and they were shocked at what we paid.....
- The Oldfields (10/5): Memorable Momento - A couple of blocks off the main drag, this hotel is well situated for the Centre of Istanbul, all sites of interest being within comfortable walking distance. Although situated on a side street, the advantage here was peace and quiet at night with no trafiic noise etc. We found the Hotel staff to be friendly, courteous, and attentive (we found almost every Turk we came into contact with to be helpful and friendly). Our room was large enough, the en-suite well designed and clean. There were nice little touches like the free bedroom slippers, and a bowl of mixed nuts with our drinks. We very much enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend the Momento.
- Ahmed (8/5): Great Hotel - The Hotel's location is close to everything you need in the Heart of Istanbul, Staff are helpful,free breakfast and internet. Although the room was slightly small but other than that the Hotel is great for the price and service.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Very Impressed - Loved the hotel, and would definitely check in again when/if around. VERY helpful and responsive staff? Check. Clean rooms, brilliant attention to detail in the setups and arrangements? Check. Complimentary high-speed wireless internet connection everywhere? A huge plus! At first the taxi driver had trouble reaching the exact hotel address, but after a couple of walks we got to know the areas and we told taxis to drop us off near the Grand Bazaar, which is just a 3 minute walk from the hotel.
- Larry (10/5): Good Location - We got a whole new perspective of Istanbul on this stay. The location of the Hotel Momento in Old Town was ideal for our exploration of the town. We appreciated the effort of the staff to get us into the room early and offer us info and aid for getting taxis was very helpful. It was altogether a delightful experience.
- Peter (10/5): Istanbul Hotel - One of the nicest hotels we stayed at on our trip to Turkey and Greece. Hotel had been remodeled within the past six months and our room was fresh. Room had all the conveniences needed. Breakfast was good, but not the best we had on our trip, and when the hotel opens its roof top bar it will be even nicer. Bar in lobby was small. Staff were friendly and provided great service. Would stay at this hotel again.
