Guest Reviews

DOROTA (10/5): Bardzo czysty hotel ,dobre śniadania ,przemiła obsługa służąca pomocą ,lokalizacja hotelu znakomita - Obsługa Brak uzupełniania codziennie wody w lodówce
damir (10/5): Damir,Hrvatska - Odličan doručak,top lokacija ,vrhunsko osoblje na recepciji,izuzetno ljubazni
Mary (10/5): Seaman and Caesar made us feel like we were home. - Seaman and Caesar gave us wonderful help in every way.As older travelers, they were even willing to walk with us if needed. Gave us excellent recommendations and very helpful with an excursion that had problems. Out of their way to offer breakfast while we waited for room to be ready which was early check in.. Very clean and modern room. If stairs carpet replaced, I think hotel would become a higher star rating.. Excellent air conditioning..quiet and quick to cool room. Housekeeping:: I had put out sheet to use instead of duvet. She kept removing. Toilet not cleaned every day and basket liner not replaced
Rachelle (4/5): Triple room 104 is nothing like the photos - Good location, can walk to most landmarks. Breakfast was pretty good. Booked the triple room I saw in the photos. Was given room 104, which is a double size room made into a triple. Room was small and cramped, nothing like the advertised photos. Shower in bathroom needs repair. The seal under the shower door is broken so water leaks all over the floor. Had to roll up the shower mat and towels and stuff it by the door to prevent the water from leaking out of the shower. Asked for another room but was told nothing was available. Did not have time to dispute or look for another place, so we just made it work the best we could. If you book a triple and they lead you to 104, immediately ask for another room.
Raiss (8/5): -
GiorGio (10/5): - Personale disponibilissimo, posizione eccezionale, camera pulitissima. Colazione poco dolce e molto salato.
Taufeeq (10/5): Amazing stay with outstanding hospitality and a perfect location in Istanbul. - Excellent location in the heart of Istanbul with easy access to the main attractions, restaurants, and transport. The staff and hosts were extremely friendly, welcoming, and always willing to assist. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and the overall atmosphere made us feel at home. Great service throughout our stay and we would definitely return again. Nothing major to complain about. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay.
Yuliia (10/5): Turkish hospitality at its best. Hidden jam right in the city center. - It was a great experience staying at La Vida Hotel in Istanbul. This was my first time in Istanbul and hotel staff was so welcoming and helpful, it made my visit very memorable. Thank you for all the advise and all great conversations. This hotel is right near Sultanahmed square in quite district, 2 minutes to main attractions.Also great + to this hotel is that downstairs there is a restaurant, where in the morning they serve breakfast, it is also great for evening meal. Very tasty. I reccommend this hotel, as it trully has this Turkish hospitality that you might not find in big chain hotels. Teşekkür ederim, çok memnun kaldım Only challenge was sometimes to get water in the shower to the comfortable temperature, sometimes it went super hot. However this is a smallest thing. Everything was great during my stay.
Aurélie (5/5): Mauvais rapport qualité prix, c’est dommage - Le personnel très gentil et l’emplacement idéal pour tout faire à pieds. Le petit déjeuner était très bon. Le manque de propreté et la vétusté de la salle de bain. Nous avons pris la chambre avec jacuzzi, ce dernier avait le bouchon d’évacuation cassé, nous avons du attendre le dernier soir pour pouvoir en profiter. L’eau dans la douche était soit bouillante soit gelée donc très difficile de se doucher convenablement.
Astigueta (7/5): - La localización El personal no sabía Inglés
Telli (8/5): Sultanahmetde kalıcaksınız bu oteli seçin - Güzeldi, personel iyiydi, sakin otel, konumu harika Sultanahmete 5 dakikalık.. sadece odası küçükdü ama sabah çıkıp akşam geldiyimiz için pek bi fark olmadı Odası küçük
Damian (7/5): Ogólnie przyjemny pobyt w dobrej, aczkolwiek mocno turystycznej, lokalizacji. - Cudowna obsługa, uśmiechnięta i pomocna. Pokoje wymagałyby już renowacji. Pod prysznicem albo bardzo ciepła woda, albo zimna.

Charlotte (9/5): Delightful chilled stay in a very central location - Owners of the hotel were really lovely and more than happy to help with anything. Room was very clean and had everything I needed with some nice touches (slippers etc.). Breakfast was a buffet with a good range of different good quality foods. Location is about a 1 minute walk to the Blue mosque but not crowded and not noisy at night (in April). Nothing
Sergey (9/5): -
Lubura (10/5): - I can’t say exactly what I liked most about it! The location, the aesthetic, the affordability, the breakfast, or the warmth of the wonderful people working there (especially the manager!). La Vida Hotel deserves my highest rating and recommendations. I will definitely stay there again when I return to Istanbul! ❤️
Jakub (10/5): Bardzo dobra lokalizacja i przemiła obsługa. - Obiekt jest w samym centrum, wszędzie blisko. Najważniejsze atrakcje i zabytki do 15 min pieszo. Bardzo, bardzo miła obsługa. Czasami dym z papierosów dochodził do pokoju z korytarza i restauracji.
Jakub (10/5): Super, - Tak fajnie, że zostaliśmy dzień dłużej 🙂 Blisko centrum i miła obsługa

Manlio (8/5): -
Pablo (10/5): - Es un hotel muy bien ubicado. Nos sentimos muy cómodos. El personal es muy amable. Lo recomiendo.
Wil (9/5): Top hotel op superlokatie! - De ligging vd accommodatie is perfect. Dicht bij het plein waaraan de blauwe moskee en de Hagia Sofia liggen. Ook de service in het hotel is top! Supervriendelijke mensen die altijd v je klaarstaan! Eigenlijk niets.
Елена (10/5): - Все отлично 👍
Елена (10/5): - Чисто, свежий ремонт! Месторасположение отеля к основным достопримечательностям огонь! 5 мин не спеша! Сама улочка тихая! Персонал приветливый! Завтрак хороший, не большой шведский стол, но всего хватает и вкусно! Спасибо персоналу за гостеприимство)))
Myat (2/5): -
Vojtěch (7/5): - ve sprše nebyl šampon a nikdo nám nedoplnoval toaletní papír a nové ručníky od 3 dne
Siham (8/5): Estambul beautiful - Me gustó donde está ubicada tienes cerca muchas cosas importantes. El desayuno era básico y estaba bueno. Los recepcionistas han sido muy amables. No me gustó es la calle tú vuelves el hotel y todas las personas de los restaurantes que le rodean no paran de insistir a que vengas a comer aunque le has rechazado previamente, llega un punto que cansa.
Tiderenczl (10/5): Központi helyen, hangulatos környezetben, jó ár-érték arányú szállás, kedves személyzet - aránylag nagy választék, jó reggeli
Lucija (8/5): - Close to main attractions
Alina Laura (8/5): Cazare ieftină pentru familii - Locația Preț bun Personalul Mic dejun simplu Foarte cald in apartament
Katarzyna (7/5): - Ogólnie wszystko ok. Ale hotel już trochę wyeksportowany. Obsługa bardzo mila. Super lokalizacja.
Guest (5/5): -
Hardilpreet (8/5): Istanbul April 2026 - Good stay overall, mainly due to the excellent location—within walking distance of major attractions, bazaars, and plenty of great restaurants. The hotel also helped organise city tours and airport transfers, and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Overall, a good choice for those prioritising location and convenience. On the downside, breakfast was adequate but lacked variety, the room floor was consistently warm (likely due to being above the kitchen), drinking water wasn’t provided, and the bed was slightly uneven
Christian (10/5): - Very nice food and very caring staff Nothing
Faruk (10/5): -
Tibor (10/5): - Tökéletes vendéglátás, kiváló reggeli, hatalmas masszázs kád a fürdőszobába felár nélkül, és külön terasz a reggeli kávézáshoz. Otthonos légkör, barátságos, figyelmes, segítőkész személyzet. Minden nap takarítás, tiszta törölköző. Remek helyen a Kék Mecset közelében.
Adriana (10/5): I recommend to everyone who wants to feel the soul of Istanbul and to have great time! - Perfect location,hospitality and individual approach for every guest! Great thanks to Selman, he did all all to feel special, to meet all our wishes and ensure our comfort
Mauricio (10/5): Excelente! - La zona y cercanía a lugares turísticos , la atención el estar dispuestos a ayudarnos en todo
sebastian stanciu (10/5): -
Roske (3/5): Go with a standard room - We appreciated the staff and the location. The room was not clean. We booked the studio with "private" terrace but we needed to cross a small corridor in order to arrive the the terrace. Still, the terrace was not usable since it was full of dirt, no pillows, nothing like in the pictures. Also, the spa bathtub was full of dirt, when we turned on the jacuzzi the dirt started to flush out. For a three nights they cleaned our room just once. We paid a very big price for a minimum comfort.
Nick (8/5): - Location Comfortable bed Friendly staff
A (5/5): - Locatie, centraal gelegen in de oude stad. Kamers: foto's komen niet overeen met werkelijkheid. Dat betreft de 'de luxe kamers'. Het ontbijt was sober.
Guglielmo (9/5): Consigliatissimo Hotel al corno d'oro! Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo - Ottima zona, in pieno corno d'oro a due passi dalla moschea blu, da Santa Sofia e dal Tram (che funziona benissimo con la Istanbul card che si fa in edicola). Personale molto disponibile, camera perfetta e accogliente con colazione tipica turca ma anche opzioni continental, e ristorante (come quasi tutti gli hotel) convenzionato al piano terra. Il giorno della partenza ci hanno prenotato il trasferimento all'aeroporto e ci hanno preparato una colazione in anticipo solo per noi perchè partivamo prima dell'orario standard. Consigliatissimo, se dovessimo tornare a Istanbul torneremo. Rapporto qualità prezzo quasi imbattibile! Abbiamo avuto un problema con la doccia che non scaricava bene, senza nemmeno dire niente ce lo hanno sistemato durante il servizio in camera
Elena (9/5): Camere pulite, personale gentile e posizione ottima. - Ho soggiornato in questo hotel e mi sono trovata bene: camere pulite, personale gentile e posizione perfetta, a soli 5 minuti a piedi dalla Moschea Blu. La colazione è un po’ limitata, ma considerando il prezzo conveniente, il rapporto qualità‑prezzo è davvero ottimo. Consigliato.
JACQUELINE (10/5): - El desayuno y la amabilidad del personal. También la localización Todo excelente
Emina (10/5): - Our stay at this hotel was truly wonderful. From the very first moment we arrived, we felt incredibly welcome. The entire staff was exceptionally kind, attentive, and always ready to help with a genuine smile. Their hospitality made us feel not just like guests, but truly cared for. The atmosphere in the hotel is warm, relaxing, and beautifully maintained. Everything was organized with great attention to detail, which made our stay even more enjoyable. A special highlight was the food. Every meal was absolutely delicious, and the breakfast was especially impressive – fresh, rich, and perfectly prepared. It was a perfect start to each day. What made this place truly special was the way the staff treated us. They made sure we were comfortable and happy throughout our stay, creating a feeling of warmth and genuine hospitality. We are very grateful for such a lovely experience and would happily return again. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a beautiful place with amazing people and fantastic food.

Tatiana (8/5): -
munir (10/5): All good - Location. Cleanness Nothing
Anna (9/5): -
ilias (10/5): - Un staff agréable, l'hôtel est très propre, l'endroit est magnifique près de tout, Sultan Ahmad, Aya Sofia Rien, tout est bien
Rixzene (10/5): We wish all out hotel stays could be as terrific as this. - Loved how friendly and helpful all the staff were. Front desk, Ceaser and Salman, went above and beyond (if there is anything you need/want to know, ask and trust them). The Restaurant staff were always friendly as were housekeeping. La Vida is perfectly located for visiting old city attractions, accessing public transport which is easy to use, and taxis are always close by if needed. Absolutely nothing
I. (9/5): Repetiría - El hotel está muy bien ubicado. Los señores de la recepción muy amables, en el momento del check-in me proporcionaron información y planes que hacer. Las instalaciones muy bien. Limpias. También destacar que comer o cenar en el restaurante del hotel es perfecto. La comida está rica, el servicio de 10 y es en un ambiente acogedor y limpio. Que mi cama hacía ruido nada más subirte, pero bueno lo pongo como algo a mejorar. El desayuno bien si te gusta la comida turca.
Brigitta (10/5): - Staff davvero gentile e disponibile. Selman è un ottimo padrone di casa, ci ha dato tanti consigli utili per il viaggio e ci ha aiutato anche a organizzare il trasferimento dall’hotel all’aeroporto, cosa che abbiamo apprezzato molto. La posizione è ottima, proprio nel cuore di Sultanahmet, comodissima per muoversi e visitare la zona. La camera era molto pulita. Siamo state davvero bene, torneremmo volentieri! Nulla!
TOFIG (10/5): Приятный отель без изысков. - Номер чистый, ремонт свежий. Тихо, спокойно. И контингент соответствующий. Персонал отличный. Ребята стараются. Ресторанчик при отеле уютный. Каждый вечер заказывал рыбу гриль.
Francis (8/5): Our stay at Hotel La Vida was as expected - I really liked the location — it’s close to the main attractions of Istanbul (museums and Sites), yet still calm and quiet at night. The hotel is near Cankurtaran Station and Sultanahmet Station, and you can easily find a taxi at the corner of the street. The room had a safe box and a fridge, and it was always warm and comfortable, especially when it was very cold outside. Hot water always available. There were chairs and a small table, a closet, mirrors, and a dresser. They also have a restaurant called Paradise Restaurant, which serves a variety of food, beverages, wine, and alcohol. Breakfast was very good and offered a wide variety of options, including juice, coffee, boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, sweets and cakes, cold cuts, five types of cheese, sausages, cornflakes, hummus, labneh, jams, Nutella, and fresh fruits. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Check-in was very fast, and they gave us a warm welcome. When it was raining, they kindly offered us umbrellas. There is also a small souvenir shop (a small bazaar) near the hotel with the best prices — after comparing several shops, we ended up buying all our souvenirs there. In addition, there are several coffee shops near the hotel. The lighting inside the room should be brighter, with higher lumen output. “Please note: - there is no elevator, only stairs. - Some rooms are close to each other
Magdolna (9/5): - Központi elhelyezkedés, sétatávolság sok nevezetesség, éttermek szupermarketek közelben. Tömegközlekedés szempontjából is jó helyen található.

Jack (9/5): Would recommend for football fans! I stayed here when I came to watch my team Nottingham Forest away at Fenerbaçhe. Hote - Would recommend for football fans. Excellent location to Sultanahmet Square and to local bars and restaurants. Staff were excellent and private airport transfer was easy and extremely fast. First floor room had small short window above head height. No views but didn’t concern me as only stayed for 2 nights. Just a heads up for those wanting to stay longer.
Saltanat (10/5): - Все было супер!

Mahir (8/5): Great location. Comfortable stay with some callouts! - Excellent location, the family room was a great size and the beds were very comfortable! Cesar at the front desk was very accommodating with late checkout where available, leaving behind luggage. The flooring had some water damage, and the room could benefit from some table lamps as the lighting was a bit dark.

Anthony (8/5): Overall all excellent location and wonderful staff. I will return again. - Location! Location! Location. Hotel is close to main historic sites in Istanbul and Grand Bazzar. All walking distance and close to railways if needed. Staff is excellent an friendly, especially morning reception, Selmon. Also has restaurants on 1st floor, which the food is excellent. This is my 2nd stay at the hotel and my 4th trip to Turkey in 4 years. Definitely will stay Only minor issues have is the WiFi strength and TV channel selection. No channel selection for Americans.

Hussain (10/5): - Excellent location Nice breakfast Cozy seating at restaurant Reception persons (especially Salman) were very helpful
Ania_spb (10/5): Прекрасно для краткосрочного пребывания - Персонал очень дружелюбный. Месторасположение идеальное, площадь Султанахмет, остановка трамвая Т1 и автобуса из аэропорта Havaist 11 в 5 минутах ходьбы. Рядом множество маленьких супермаркетов, работающих допоздна, где можно купить вино, свежие фрукты и сладости. Завтраки скудные и однообразные, каждый день практически одно и то же. Но голодными мы никогда не оставались. Так что, если вы мечтаете о настоящих турецких завтраках на открытой террасе с видом на Босфор, то вам точно не в этот отель. Здесь свои, другие плюсы. В конце января в номере было холодно. Спасал только кондиционер, установленный на 30 градусов тепла круглосуточно и 2 тёплых одеяла. В нашем номере было очень много окон, а отопления в отеле, как и почти везде в Турции, нет. Телевизор не работал в течении всего периода проживания, но для нас это было неважно.

IVANNA (4/5): Задовільно - Сподобалось дуже зручне розташування, ввічливий персонал, смачний сніданок Готель потребує ремонту, всюди пліснява і обдерті шпалери. Ми ночували дві ночі в готелі. Спершу нас поселили в номер з видом на стіну, хоча на сайті зазначали, що буде вид на місто. Ми дуже просили змінити номер, нам змінили , але на наступний день. Всюди - в номерах, коридорі, в ресторані де був сніданок, сильний запах сигарет.
Federico (10/5): Value for money and nice staff - The manager Autman was super helpful and friendly. He solved all my doubts and problems.
melisa (10/5): - Ho soggiornato in questo hotel durante il mio viaggio in Turchia e tutto è stato fantastico. Il receptionist Batu che mi ha seguito fin dalla prenotazione è stato molto gentile e disponibile, e anche tutto il personale è stato accogliente L’hotel offre un servizio navetta comodo e il ristorante interno è davvero buono, con musica live la sera che crea un’atmosfera piacevole. La posizione è perfetta: si trova a Sultanahmet, dietro la Moschea Blu e la Basilica di Santa Sofia. La fermata della metro è a circa 10 minuti a piedi, quindi è facile muoversi in città. Consigliato!
lacey (9/5): We had a great time and viva was so nice to come back and relax. Plus breakfast was great - Great location! We were so close to the masques places we wanted to go.
Barbara (10/5): - Hotel muito bom, banheiro espaçoso. Café da manhã muito bom. Fiquei satisfeita
Lacey (9/5): Excellent - Breakfast was great with large variety and very filling. Staff was excellent and went out of way to help with calls and making sure stay was perfect. Sadet was especially helpful. Location was perfect right in town close to all public transportation, all the site and many shops and restaurants. Bed was little firm but that is preference. Overall great experience
Lucian (10/5): For a 2 star hotel this place is absolutely amazing and I will come back again! Thank you guys! - Location, location and location! Small hotel on a busy street, full of life, music, restaurants and lights at night! Customer service excellent, staff helped us with luggages as it doesn't have an elevator. Breakfast is good, turkish style, they have to replenish and make sure they have enough for all customer, I noticed that omelets were the first ones to go..
Monica (10/5): O experienta placuta - Accesul usor la toate obiectivele Baia se putea mai bine

Belal (10/5): We recommend this hotel. Family friendly. Close to all the attractions. - Love it. The hotel meet more than what we were expecting. Everything was within walking distance. Bath was very helpful during our stay. Paradise restaurant by its lobby was great.My family love it.
SAHIL (10/5): I would say they can improve their hotel and service. It’s nice location. - The location is great because it’s close to the both Mosques. Hagia and Blue mosque. The reception guys were nice. The breakfast staffs are not nice. The room shower was broken, but they changed the room. Then the drainage was an issue, the shower water would take long time to drain in the second room, then they changed the room again. If you don’t like smoke or cigarettes, then the breakfast area is not for you because everyone smokes there near the eating area. The cleaning staff was smoking in our room while he or she was cleaning.
benaqqa (8/5): - Расположение супер! Русскоговорящий персонал, отвечают на все вопросы и помогают, попросили ранний завтрак, приготовили сэндвичи. Вкусный завтрак. Номер просторный и чистый. Номер был над кухней, и в одном месте номера очень сильно нагревался пол, от этого в но ере было еще жарче, спать только с кондиционером, окно не открыть, так как рядом была вытяжка, которая шумела.
Alyssia (8/5): - La propreté Le personnel La localisation

Лесничая (9/5): Советуем👍! - Замечательное место! Расположение очень удобное в чистом приятном районе, до главной площади 3 минуты пешком. Персонал вежливый, отзывчивый, делились картами (даже на метро), советами, вызвали такси до аэропорта, сделали шикарное фото на память). Оплату принимали любым способом, что было очень удобно. Номер просторный, чистый, есть чайник, пакетики с чаем, вода. Зона ресторана очень приятная. Можно было вкусно поужинать здесь же. Незначительные замечания: - В номере не было одноразовых наборов с шампунем, зубной щеткой и тп. Было бы неплохо их добавить. - Завтрак стандартный, не особо разнообразный (возможно, в сезон лучше). - В лобби курили - для некурящих неприятно. В остальном все хорошо, отель советуем👍!
