Guest Reviews
- Damien (10/5): Europa League Final 2026 - Aston Villa fans - Location is amazing and so peaceful even though all the sights and sounds of Istanbul are just a few minutes walk away.
The staff were an absolute highlight. The breakfast was incredible and a real joy to enjoy traditional Turkish style breakfast.
Sadly, I can't recall all the names but everybody was so helpful with check-in, help with taxis, tramd and loads.of local information.
Merve on reception was simply brilliant and really went above and beyond to help all the Villa fans who had checked in for the football. Such a kind and considerate person with a fabulous sense of humor and is a real credit to the hotel.
Sahmet and Elif(?) helped us with charging phones/broken phones. These folks really went above and beyond to make our stay brilliant. Even posing for photos and really embracing the excitement of the football game. Nothing. Everything was absolutely perfect and it is rare you can say that about a hotel.
I stayed in January so obviously came back as my previous stay was also brilliant, and I recommended the hotel to a number of fellow Aston Villa supporters.
- Giacomo (6/5): -
- Michael (9/5): Would highly recommend this hotel - due to price, location and lovely staff. - The price was perfect - so reasonable which is rare to see. Would attract me to stay there again because of that. Great location. Staff were very helpful. Room was lovely - good size, clean and great shower. Whilst it was included as part of the price the breakfast - it wasn't the most exciting of food but still lovely enough.
- Benyoucef (1/5): - Tous c’est des arnaqueure
- Anna (8/5): Next time in Avicenna again - Hotel in a historical building, close to all cultural attractions. A lot of restorants and small supermarkets. Very close to the Bosporus. Clean, good matrac, the towels were a little old but clean, and changed every second day. Good smell in the room. Wonderfull views to Bosporus and the Asian side. Breakfast always the same but not bad. Lot of vegetables and greens of which you can make a salad. Lot of cookies. Always fresh bread We booked a superior room. And received a standard. Because it was really very small, 15 meters and not 20. Only one chair. Bathroom is tiny. For us it was oke since we are not big people. Just when we arrived we were too tired to argue about the room type
- Przemek K (9/5): Sympatyczny Hotel na 4+ - Świetna lokalizacja, bardzo miła obsługa. Panowie z recepcji bardzo pomocni. Pokój czysty, świeża pościel. Regularnie sprzatany. Wnętrza hotelu bardzo klimatyczne. Bardzo wygodne łóżka. Restauracja na dachu z pięknym widokiem na zatokę. Śniadania smaczne, regularnie dostarczane ciepłe, świeże pieczywo, dodatki. Za pokój w tej cenie, z taką lokalizacją adekwatna cena. Śmiało można polecić innym. Łazienka w moim pokoju wymaga odświeżenia. Kabina prysznicowa przegnita, z zalążkami grzyba
- Selma (7/5): Schönes, gute gelegenens, nicht zu großes Hotel - Zur Zeit unseres Aufenthalts (Mai2026) war eine Baustelle direkt unter unserem Fenster (Ausblick über den Bosporus). aber die Arbeiten hörten abends auf, daher war es erträglich. Der Ausblick war wunderschön.
Die Lage des Hotels ist optimal um die wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten zu Fuß oder mit der Tram zu erreichen, dennoch in einer ruhigeren Straße gelegen Das Zimmer war etwas klein, aber für einen 3-4tägigen Städtetrip durchaus ausreichend
- Натаван Авшарова (10/5): -
- Ami (6/5): - Un agent d’accueil très serviable et agréable. L’hôtel est proche des mosquées. Nous avons fait la majorité de nos déplacements à pied. Il est super bien situé. Un autre agent s’est montré désagréable. J’ai dû insister fortement pour qu’il accepte de me changer de chambre, celle qui m’avait été attribuée ne correspondant pas à ma réservation. L’hôtel est mal insonorisé, le petit-déjeuner est très simple, la propreté laisse à désirer et les lits sont durs.
- Ross Fehily (7/5): - Good location. Affordable. Breakfast buffet was ok, nothing amazing. Beds weren't comfortable, no facilities in the hotel it's only a guest house. Could do with a renovation.
- Anastasia (8/5): - Breakfast was great, Turkish style
Friendly staff
Beautiful views of the Bosphorus from the balcony
Location in the touristic area The facilities were a bit outdated
Breakfast is served starting at 7:30 a.m., it is a bit late for an morning flight or trip
- Richard (7/5): Great location. Great staff. Good value. - Location & staff Building work behind. Average breakfast.
- Karyna (10/5): - Nice room with balcony All seemed alright
- Ovidiu Nicusan (9/5): -
- Cristian (6/5): Concediu Turcia - Locația foarte buna, lângă obiective turistice si cu doua restaurante tradiționale foarte bune lângă hotel. Prosoapele au fost schimbate zilnic. Am prins o vreme rece dar a fost cald in camera. Curățenia lasa de dorit, mobilier vechi si neingrijit. Mic dejun saracacios. Miros neplăcut in camera, parca de țigară sau poate de la climatizare.

Restorānā apkalpošana burvīga; skats uz Bosfora šaurumu.
- contessotto (10/5): - Les chambres côté Bosphore ont une vue incroyable.
Petit déjeuner bon et copieux, personnel adorable et serviable jour et nuit.
Hôtel situé à 5 min à pied de sainte Sophie.
- Fatma (10/5): -
- Naoise (10/5): -
- Andrei (10/5): - We had a very pleasant stay here. Location is just perfect, just a few minutes from Hagia Sophia, staff was helpful and very welcoming, especially administrator Merve and a restaurant’s staff (by the way, breakfast was also very good, a lot of options and with a great selection of fresh vegetables and sweets). Overall, very nice choice if you want to stay in the European part of Istanbul.
- Ulli (10/5): - Perfekte Lage, zuvorkommender Service, gemütliches Zimmer. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.
- Irene (7/5): -
- Sara (9/5): Lovely stay - The location is superb in such a cute quaint street with colorful art all around. Staff was nice and friendly and they tried to make us feel welcome at all times. The inside decor was authentic Turkish style which enhanced our view of the hotel. Loved the breakfast area and the terrace in the back to catch the sun. Easy access to local transportation though the hotel also offers taxis. Loved the ppl and the stay, few recommendations would be: 1) someone should have let us know there was a terrace available. We normally do not go exploring so we did not know there was a terrace available for viewing, we could have had lunch there or something :D and 2) cleanliness was superb but somehow the last day we were there they forgot to clean our bathroom. The beds were made and we had fresh towels but the hairs from brushing my hair were still there and there was no extra roll of toilet paper. 3) I would have like to see scrambled eggs every morning :)
- Elżbieta (9/5): -
- Chris (9/5): Lovely small and friendly hotel in great location - Very well located. The staff are very professional and helpful. It is also very clean. The balcony rooms are light and airy The roof top restaurant was closed all month whiçh was disappointing. I think this should have been made clear on Booking.com
- Lydie (10/5): C etait top - L emplacement l accueil la chambre Le petit déjeuné pas beaucoup de choix
- Kristina (10/5): A very pleasant experience - Friendly and Cozy Atmosphere
AviCenna Hotel is a welcoming place that creates a calm, stress-free vacation atmosphere.
Positives
Location
The hotel is in a quiet area surrounded by small hotels and a few restaurants. There is little traffic and almost no road noise. The street is well lit with decorative lights and the alleyway is distinctive and easy to recognize.
Style
The hotel has a clear style without feeling overly strict or formal, which makes the environment comfortable and relaxed.
Staff
Staff members are friendly, polite, and respectful. The reception desk is always available, and questions or requests are handled quickly. One minor issue: one of our rooms regularly received only minimal room service, while the other room was serviced properly.
Facilities
All listed facilities were available with no surprises. The Wi-Fi worked flawlessly the entire time with stable speed and no dropouts.
Restaurant
The restaurant on the third floor became a highlight of the stay. What seemed like a convenient backup turned out to be an excellent choice. The food was very good, portions were generous, water was free, and prices were competitive with nearby restaurants. The large windows provide a beautiful panoramic sea view, overlooking the old rooftops often visited by seagulls and stray cats.
- Ahmad Ridzuan (10/5): Our 2nd time staying here and it’s always a good experience. - Hospitality of the staff and the cleanliness. Great location. Breakfast spread can be improved.
- Jessica (7/5): Estancia céntrica agradable - Ubicación perfecta Desayuno pobre y poco variado sin fruta; muchos pequeños detalles de mantenimiento;
- Willem (9/5): - Schone mooie kamer en t uitzicht en ontbijt
- Jelica (9/5): Una bellissima vacanza - Colazione ottima e abbondante... Posizione eccellente.
- Abdalmajeed (10/5): - Stuff, location, antique hotel Cleaning
- Francesco (8/5): -
- Tiziana Batelii (9/5): Consigliabile ?...si - La posizione e' perfetta, molto pulito, il personale molto carino (quasi tutto)buon cibo Qualche piccolo problema non risolto, (la luce nella camera delle nostre amiche ogni tanto si spegneva e ripartiva dopo qualche minuto, segnalato ma mai risolto, la nostra portafinestra aveva difficolta' ad aprirsi )
- Pauline (10/5): Fantastic stay in Istanbul - The location was simply perfect, great location, fantastic roof top terrace with beautiful views. The staff were so helpful, very accommodating. Would definitely recommend & would stay here again if coming to Istanbul. N/A
- Ma'rufjon Azizkulov (10/5): - Очень уютный комнаты. Вежливые персонали.
Завтрак тоже очен вкусно был
- Lyudmila (5/5): Необходимо было выделить нам другой номер рядом, который на момент нашего вселения пустовал, а не гнаться за заработком - Красивый вид на Мраморное море. Расположение в 10 минутах ходьбы с историческим центром. Почти всё время нашего пребывания (4дня) шло строительство пожарной лестницы рядом с нашим балконом. Мастера ходили туда-сюда через наш номер в наше отсутствие. Балконом пользоваться не могли. Там лежали инструменты и металл для лестницы. Было очень пыльно в номере, уборщица даже не вытирала пыль, хотя велись работы. Никто не извинился и не компенсировал неудобства.
- Sadaf (8/5): It was a nice hotel to stay in, staff was very nice and helpful, especially staff member named Mohammad was very helpful - Nice location, everything was close by It’s good, nothing to dislike
- Sarine (5/5): -
- JOANA (8/5): It was a good and pleasurable stay - The hotel is located very near some of the attractions in sultanahmet, near the tram and a lot of restaurants. The only setback was that most of the establishment near the area is a but pricy - probably because it is a "tourist" area. Nonetheless it was a good place, be ready to walk uphill lol coz the roads to the attractions and the tram has a lot of uphill / downhill walking (around 10-15 mins max). The staff in the hotel are very friendly, there was this young lady, not sure if I remember the name right, Laura / Lara who is always smiling to greet the guest. My sister enjoyed the breakfast and the view from the restaurant at the top floor. :)
- anda maria (10/5): -
- Wendy (6/5): all round good 2/3 star experience rooms a little average - restaurant and breakfast very good location fantastic Rooms need updating and very small felt a little grubby in the room and yet the public areas are good
- Bat-Amgalan (1/5): -
- Majdouline (9/5): Un séjour des plus pratiques - La localisation était juste parfaite, dans une rue centrale, avec tout à proximité.
Et le personnel de l’établissement était juste incroyablement gentil et professionnel.
- Concha (7/5): Muy interesante vivenciaen Estambul y muy acogedor el hotel - La ubicación estupenda y la recomendación del señor de admisión para cenar, magnífica Poner fruta en el desayuno, por lo demás todo bien
- Igor (5/5): - Отличное расположение в старом городе рядом с основными достопримечательностями, многочисленные кафе, магазины, рынок. Недалеко остановка трамвая, самого удобного в городе средства передвижения. Недалеко от отеля около площади Султанахмет конечная остановка автобуса-экспресса из/в аэропорт IST, удобно, быстро и дешево добираться, т.к. трансфер и такси дорогие. Персонал отеля приветливый и дружелюбный, практически не говорит на русском, но знают отдельные фразы, поэтому английский или переводчики, только одна горничная Фариза на 2 этаже говорит на чистом русском. Завтраки (шведский стол) неплохие, но мало горячих мясных блюд. Очень вкусные пончики. Площадь номеров небольшая, тесновато. Есть несколько ТВ-каналов на русском. Соотношение цена/качество у отеля приемлемые. Цены в старом городе высокие, туристические. Кругом узкие мощеные красивые улочки, по которым приятно побродить.
- Цымбалюк (9/5): -
- LOURDES (8/5): Me - La ubicación es genial, cerca de todo. Las instalaciones son un poco anticuadas. La zona de desayuno muy bonito. Tener que subir 2 pisos, no tiene ascensor.
La tina muy alta para subirse era muy pesado.
- Mehbub (9/5): Beautiful - We liked view from our room, it was beautiful! The room was clean and comfortable. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. Their breakfast options were kinda bland. They don’t have an elevator (after exploring the city all day..it’s hard going up those stairs).
- Alessandra (6/5): Capodanno ad Istanbul - Il punto forte dell'hotel è sicuramente la posizione alla quale darei 10, il resto lascia un po a desiderare, camere un po datate, specialmente i bagni. La colazione un po misera, poca scelta di prodotti dolci, qualcosina in più sul salato. Alla fine non è male, considerando il rapporto qualità prezzo, l'importante è non aspettarsi uno standard da quattro stelle, perché non lo è. Ho specificato più volte che volevamo due letti separati, mi hanno risposto di sì e poi al nostro arrivo ci siamo trovate il letto matrimoniale. La mia amica ha dormito due notti sulla chaise longue, il terzo giorno finalmente ci hanno cambiato la camera. Abbiamo avuto anche altri piccoli disagi, ma tutto gestibile.
- Ala (9/5): -
- Fegas (7/5): -
- Robenson (5/5): Disappointing - The location A room for two with a terrace was reserved. Upon arrival, a cramped basement room was provided instead. The so-called terrace was effectively a small light well of approximately 1.5 m², primarily used for storing building rubble, and did not function as a usable outdoor space.
In addition, the hotel placed me in an uncomfortable situation by insisting that payment be made by the guest, despite the reservation having been made and held by me via Booking.com.
Breakfast quality was acceptable but unremarkable.
Overall, the accommodation did not correspond to the booking description, and the handling of the situation by the hotel was disappointing.
- Afrim (8/5): -
- Stefania (10/5): - Il personale pronto ad accogliere ogni tua esigenza, un grazie speciale a kazim bertas che ha dato la sua disponibilità nella risoluzione di un problema di spostamento
- Hecham (9/5): - Excellent location and super helpful staff.
- Laetitia (10/5): - Le personnel est accueillant (petite mention pour Enim et Nejdit) et l'établissement parfaitement bien placé. Le petit déjeuner est varié et de qualité. La chambre est légèrement petite, pour un couple, ou manque en rangements. Il serait intéressant de placer des écriteaux devant les plats du petit déjeuner.
- Thijs (7/5): - Locatie Te klein bed en badkamertje
- Delaroue (9/5): - Décoration soignée, personnel attentif, très bonne literie. Je recommande.
- Anathi (9/5): -
- Gharsallah (8/5): -
- Silviaa30 (7/5): Un ottimo qualità prezzo - La centralità della struttura, il costo qualità prezzo . Una doccia con poca acqua ma appena richiesto, l' intervento è stato veloce e ottimale.
Le stanze poco luminose e mancanza di appoggi in bagno
- Ann (10/5): Would definitely return and recommend - Central location
Efficient staff
Good breakfast included Nothing
- kovacs (10/5): -
- Zuhra (9/5): Мне очень понравилось в этом отеле, как Неждат сказал вы у себя дома😍 - Расположение отеля очень удобное. Персонал очень приветливый, особенно Неждат, Барыш, Феруза и Ада. Ребята вы супер! Ресторан с прекрасным видом на море, завтраки вкусные. Персонал всегда готов помочь. Номера чистые, уборку делают каждый день. было бы хорошо положить зубную щетку и пасту в ванной!
- Contreras (10/5): - El Hotel estaba cerca de los lugares turísticos.
- Horst (8/5): -
- Judy (8/5): Good location and breakfast. - The location is great. Breakfast was very good with a lot of choices. We were disappointed that we were told we would not be able to store a bag at the hotel for a week while we traveled around the country even though luggage storage was listed on the Booking.com site as a hotel amenity. We had to cancel our return booking and move to an alternate hotel that was able to accommodate our storage needs.
I’m sorry that the hotel was not very helpful to us in dealing with this situation.

- MELLADO (9/5): - J'ai apprécié la grande qualité de l'équipe de l'hôtel. Un accueil très chaleureux et à l'écoute. Le séjour était très agréable. Une très bonne adresse pour découvrir Istanbul à Sultanahmet.Je recommande <3
I appreciated the high quality of the hotel staff. A very warm and attentive welcome. The stay was very pleasant. A great place to stay when exploring Istanbul's Sultanahmet district. I highly recommend it <3
- Teodoro (6/5): Habitación dentro del restaurante - Lo mejor la ubicación del hotel y su estilo clásico.Y que recogían la habitación todos los días Desayuno,escaso, repetitivo y de mala calidad(salchichas con mucho picante o sal,papas,huevo) muy poco de comida caliente.
Instalaciones descuidadas,nos pusieron la última habitación,segundo piso(sin ascensor) al fondo del pasillo,al lado del restaurante terraza, donde el viernes y sobre todo el sábado,la música a altísimo volumen era como tenerla en nuestra habitación,y la terraza exterior había un murito que daba al restaurante y que se llenó de gente sentada con bebidas que era como tenerlos dentro de la habitación. Decepcionado con el hotel,solo salvo la ubicación.

- Eva (9/5): -
- Jorge (6/5): estancia correcta. - nos gustó su ubicación y la amabilidad de todo el personal del hotel. El restaurante tiene unas bonitas vistas panorámicas El hotel es un poco antiguo y algunas cosas están deterioradas en las habitaciones .El baño tenia las juntas de la mampara de ducha con moho y óxido. .El baño tiene poca luz en el espejo. Los enchufes se quedan sueltos en la habitación. La estancia no fue todo lo confortable que hubiéramos deseado.
- Olga (8/5): Гостиница соответствовала ожиданиям. - Отличнейшее расположение гостиницы. Приветливый персонал. Хороший завтрак в красивой и светлой столовой. В целом всё ок. Под окошками ночью разгружали продукты, было шумно. Возможно у номеров выше классом такой проблемы нет, окна в другую сторону выходят.
- alibadi (8/5): تجربة ممتازة للسكن في هذا المكان - القرب مما يحتاجه المسافر من الأسواق المحلية ، و البحر صعوبة التنقل بالسيارة لضيق الشوارع الداخلية
- Koray (9/5): - Hôtel très bien situé, la chambre était grande et confortable, un balcon avec une vue magnifique, le personnel est à l'écoute. Nous reviendrons sans hésiter
- Angele (5/5): Rien d'exceptionnel ! - L'atout majeur de cet hôtel est indiscutablement la localisation. La literie était confortable. Nous tenons à remercier Basir qui nous a trouvé une solution pour nous rendre à Ankara, tous les trains étant complets. Le rapport qualité/prix est discutable. Chambre et salle de bain très vieillottes. Elles mériteraient une bonne rénovation. Le petit déjeuner n'a rien d'exceptionnel.
- Rachael (9/5): Wonderful stay in a lovely hotel with helpful staff - Lovely building - attractive with nice courtyard. Comfortable room. Lovely quiet location but so central. Nothing
- Stefania (8/5): Pleasant stay with friendly staff and good location. - The hotel staff was very kind to us when we arrived late in the evening. They gave us some advice on what to do around and how to go around. Cleanliness was ok, the room had a bit of an "old smell", but after you're in it, you eventually get used to it. That might be due to some old-style pillows. Breakfast was included but we were so tired to have it, even tho the staff was nice enough to offer us. Location is great if you're visiting the old town and the Mosques. If you're going further down, I recommend taking a taxi. Have them start the meter straight away when you get into the car. Overall, our stay at Avicenna was very pleasant and met our expectations. Little bit of "old smell" in the room.
- Anneke de (10/5): We hebben een geweldige 5 dagen gehad. We hebben vertraging voor 2 dagen. We gaan zaterdag 25/10 pas naar huis. 2 d - We dachten eerst een klein straatje. Klein hotel. Maar uiteindelijk kwam de warmte je tegemoet. Super lieve mensen, allemaal. Zorgzaam, behulpzaam.
En helemaal boven een prachtich restaurant met uitzicht op de zee. Alles was oke. Misschien geen lift voor oudere mensen.
- YOLANDA (5/5): - El trato del personal y la ubicación El desayuno regular, la habitación pequeña , el armario y el baño muy pequeño. Nos cobraron 50 liras por una botella de 33 cl de agua
- Aleksei (9/5): Очень хороший отель за свои деньги. Добродушный персонал. - Хороший недорогой отель в исторической части города. Простые, но уютные номера. Кровать удобная. Балкон большой был у нас с видом на метро. На завтрак можно не ходить, очень скудный и совсем простой, всё холодное. Омлета и яичницы нет. Но и отель не 5 звёзд.
Рядом куча мест, где можно вкусно и недорого позавтракать. Можно будильник на завтрак не ставить) и спать сколько хочешь )
- Frank (7/5): - Das Zimmer war sauber und die Lage vom Hotel top. Der Ausblick war auch schön. Das Frühstück war Abwechslungsreich und reichlich. Das Reinigungspersonal und Frühstückspersonal waren sehr nett und Hilfsbereit. Der Service an der Rezeption war sehr schlecht! Vor der Anreise hatte ich Blumen für das Zimmer bestellt, diese fehlten. Wir hatten Probleme mit dem Restaurant im Haus. Da wurde uns nur mitgeteilt,daß das Hotel nicht zuständig sei, obwohl wir den Tisch über das Hotel gebucht hatten. Es fehlte ein Aschenbecher auf dem Raucherzimmer und ich musste dreimal danach fragen, bevor wir einen bekamen. Die Blumen wurden erst nach erneuten fragen einen Tag später gebracht aber keine Vase. Es hat mich wieder drei Versuche gekostet bis wir eine Vase hatten. Wir haben ein Taxi über das Hotel bestellt, angeblich sehr gut. Aber es war teuer und der Fahrer wollte nicht bis zum Ziel fahren. Er weigerte sich die letzten 200 Meter zufahren. Meiner Freundin taten die Füße schon weh aber er weigerte sich beharrlich. Als wir im Hotel an der Rezeption uns beschweren wollten, wurde uns angeboten eine Dinerfahrt auf dem Bosborus zumachen. Wir kamen gerade von Einer. Eine andere Entschädigung wurde uns nicht angeboten, noch nicht einmal eine Kleinigkeit. Alles zusammen war der Service an der Rezeption sehr schlecht!
- Mags (10/5): -
- Ruth (10/5): Perfect position for restaurants, transport and sites - Breakfast great lots of choice. Location perfect lots of restaurants near by and only a 10 minute walk to Blue Mosque Nothing everyone great
- Khalil (1/5): -
- Niessler (9/5): Sehr gerne wieder - Sehr freundliches Personal und hilfsbereites Personal!
- Swen (9/5): Sehr schönes und ruhiges Hotel in guter Lage - Guter Service, sehr freundliches Personal und gute Sauberkeit. Täglich wurde das Zimmer gereinigt. Ausstattung etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber OK. Landestypisches Frühstück war lecker. Zimmer zur Rückseite boten Blick auf Asien und die Bosporus-Einfahrt; morgens wurden wir von der aufgehenden Sonne geweckt. Top Lage, 5–10 Gehminuten zu den bekanntesten Sehenswürdigkeiten. Das Bad müsste mal wieder renoviert werden, ansonsten gibt es nichts auszusetzen.
- claude (7/5): Une merveille - Cet hôtel est très bien placé, l’on peut faire l’Istanbul ancien à pied et les transports sont à 2 minutes. L’hôtel est ravissant de part son architecture . Attention il n’y a pas d’ascenseur. Les salles de bains sont petites et peu équipées. Le personnel du restaurant n’est pas à la hauteur du restant du personnel qui eux sont sympathiques, souriants et aidants. Ils ne parlent pas l’anglais et font peu d’efforts pour rendre service
- Nawaal (10/5): - Only for baris
- Nermin (10/5): - The location is perfect, the price is reasonable, the hotel staff and management are kind and helpful.
- Nawaal (10/5): - Thanks baris for everything
- Paul (8/5): Pleasant stay. - Good location, friendly attentive and helpful staff. Good breakfast. Room was rather dark, requested a room with balcony, willing to pay to upgrade but not available although gave several months notice. Shower gels and coffee wasn't topped up each day, had to ask. From photos I thought breakfast would be served on the higher levels with better views and not in the court yard.
