Guest Reviews
- KSENIIA (7/5): -
- Aguilar (5/5): - Lo mejor del hotel es la ubicación. Los pasillos eran súper oscuros. Escaleras angostas con alfombras sucias y arrancadas por sectores. La habitación estaba limpia pero tampoco brillaba. Junto a la tetera un vaso descartable de cartón que parecía usado. El desayuno es paupérrimo, entre eso y nada es preferible nada.
- Anna (10/5): - Отличное расположение в центре, рядом с метро, ресторанами, магазинами. В пешей доступности многие достопримечательности.
- Yücel (10/5): Ich war sehr zufrieden - Zimmer und Personal sehr nett und hilfsbereit 👍👍👍 Alles top
- Ridwan (8/5): -
- Piroza (1/5): Rekomenderar inte - Inget dålig boende Bilderna visas inte som verklighet väldigt litet rum ej bekväma badrum väldigt trångt utrymme ofräsht
- Serife (1/5): Ich habe den Aufenthalt in diesem Hotel schmerzhaft bereut. Man kann nicht mal gemütlich auf die Toilette gehen, ohne Rü - Ich finde das unmöglich, dass in einem Raum extra Toilette und Dusche rein gebaut wurde, wo man sich beim pissen und scheißen zuschauen kann Das einzig Gute daran war die Lage sonst gar nicht
- Ekremhan (2/5): - Lage Das Badezimmer ist eine Katastrophe. Ich war sehr oft in diesem Hotel. Es läuft immer Wasser aus, der Abfluss war verstopft, die Badezimmer-Tür geht nicht richtig zu. Die Toilettentür und die Badezimmer Schiebetüren blockieren sich gegenseitig.
- Norazlina (4/5): 3 night 4 day - location Breakfast can”t serve by ownself..
n difficult to make it choice
- Agaev (10/5): - Все было очень удобно и чисто. Локация отличная. Анелия прекрасно справлялась своей работой. За что большое спасибо
- Mariia (10/5): Все прошло замечательно - Очень хорошая локация и отель по цене-качество. Трамвай в 3 минутках, паромы в 10ти, удобно ездить по всем направлениям
- Iulia (2/5): - Central Camerele mici la baie calcar pe sticlă de duș pernele galbene la baie suportul de prosoape și de hârtie cădeau mereu , curgea apă din aerul condiționat de afară se auzea totul .
- Iulia (2/5): O experiență neplăcută - Este central aproape de toate mijloacele de transport Lenjerie cu pete
Dusul curgea afară din cabină de duș , lampa aproape cădea de pe perete ,chiuveta avea rugină
- Farwa Raza (10/5): Solo fun - All was good and staff members were caring and helpful.
Location is perfect for tourist close to all amenities. Nothing there to not like
- Mustafa (10/5): - Freundlichkeit des Personals,super Lage des Hotels,ganz in der Nähe der historischen Sehenswürdigkeiten.Sollten wir Istanbul wieder besuchen,werden wir das Hotel Septimum buchen Nichts,alles super👍

- Ali (9/5): - Super emplacement,lit confortable,chambre propre et assez spacieuse 👍 Quelque détail au niveau des finitions à l'intérieur de la chambre
- Yassine (10/5): C’était très bien passé, personnelle très gentille , hôtel propre - Établissement bien situé près de toutes les commodité Trop de bruit toute la nuit

- Faris (3/5): -
- Αρτοποιειο (1/5): - Everything was awful 😖 Everything
- Abdullah (1/5): الموظفة غير احترافية . - قرب المكان من القطار والمناطق السياحية حجزت هذا الفندق من تاريخ 11-12 يناير .. واعجبتني الغرفه واردت تمديد حجزي ليكون 12-14 يناير
حجزت نفس الغرفة تماماً ولكن تفاجأة بأن الموظفة ( الانسة ) قالت لابد من اضافة 5 يورو لليله ، اذا لابد من دفع 10 يورو للبقاء في نفس الغرفة لان حجزك السابق أكونومي الجديد ستاندر أخبرتها بالموافقه ولكن بعد الرجوع لحجز بوكينق تأكدت بأن الحجز هو نفسه ولا يوجد أكونومي أو ستاندر نفسه بالضبط ، في اليوم التالي صباحاً 8 AM ، تفاجأت بموظف جديد وكان جيد جداً تعاون معي واخبرني انني استطيع البقاء في نفس الغرفه بدون اضافة اي سعر خرجت وعند العودة قابلت الموظفة من جديد 🤦🏻♂️💔
واخبرتني ان علي ان ادفع 10 يورو لها مقابل الحجز الجديد !!
رفضت ذلك وأصرّت ولكن اخرجت لها واثبت الحجز الاول والثاني من بوكينج انه نفس الحجز بالضبط حتى اقتنعت واستسلمت !
اعتقد انها كانت ستكون عمليّة سرقة من الموظفة !
يستطيع المالك التأكد من كلامي ومراجعة الكاميرات في يوم 12/1/2026
ويستطيع مشاهدة ماحصل بالضبط اذا كان هناك كاميرات الساعة الواحدة ظهراً .
I stayed at this hotel from January 11–12 and really liked the room, so I decided to extend my stay from January 12–14 by booking the exact same room again through Booking.com.
However, I was surprised when one female staff member told me that I had to pay an extra €5 per night (€10 total) to stay in the same room, claiming that my previous booking was “economy” and the new one was “standard.” I checked my Booking.com reservations carefully and confirmed that both bookings were for the same room type, with no difference at all.
The next morning around 8:00 AM, another staff member was on duty and was very professional and helpful. He clearly told me that I could stay in the same room without any extra charge, which made sense.
Unfortunately, when I returned later, I met the same female staff member again, and she insisted once more that I must pay the €10. I refused and showed her both Booking.com reservations in detail. Only after seeing the proof did she finally accept that the room type was exactly the same.
- Daria (9/5): Номер соответствует описанию, приятный персонал. Расположение отличное - Приветливо встретили, заселили быстро.
- Goran (1/5): Nie wieder - Nichts!!! Alles veraltet. Dusche Tür war kaputt. Alte Möbel.
Die Terrassen Tür kaputt.
Nichts wie auf dem Foto und wie auf die anderen Bewertungen geschrieben wurde.
- Maryna (10/5): - Ottima pozione, staff accogliente, disponibile e gentile.
- Ekremhan (9/5): -
- Sherrilee (6/5): - The room was clean. The breakfast. There were no options, just one set breakfast and it was very limited. No hot foods were available
- Наталья Голубцова (8/5): -
- Duka (9/5): -
- Erkan (10/5): - Service
- Muhammed Shareef (5/5): - Location is very good Very congested, not enough space in room, toilet, lift,etc. Very minimal breakfast.
- Alena (9/5): Great location, reasonable price, friendly staff – 3rd visit here - Staying in Septimum at least 3rd time already. This is a superb location right at the Marmaray (Sirkesi metro), easy to get both to Otogar or to Sabiha airport. Very friendly staff as always, moderate but substantial breakfast. Don’t know what to add, very neat locationa comparing to the price. Yeah someone can say some facilities need renovation, but honestly – all just enough.
- Uslu (8/5): -
- hani (2/5): تجربة سيئة ومخيبة - الموقع فقط لا يستحق .. موظفة الاستقبال وعاملة النظافة وأعداد الفطور سيئة والفطور صحن واحد فقط تجيبو لك والبيض بارد .. لن أعيد التجربة أبدا
- Samet (10/5): -
- Aiman (9/5): - מיקום - נקיון המקלחת מזכוכית - המים יוצאים החוצה
- salahunt (5/5): U pay what u get -
- MOHAMMED (7/5): - قربه من جميع المواصلات العامة(المترو-الترام-العبارات-التكاسي) موقع الفندق مميز جداً وقريب من الأماكن السياحية الأثاث قديم وغير جيد
- Abdelber (8/5): Un emplacement idéal, rapport qualités prix c’est le meilleur dans cette région. - L’emplacement est idéal. Tous est bien.
- Om Osama (10/5): - الموقع قريب من كل الاهتمامات
- عبدالعزيز (10/5): -
- Elodie (4/5): -
- Mesut (7/5): Ist ok, aber persönlich werde ich nie wieder dahin fahren wollen. - Personal war ganz ok. Die Lage ist sehr zentral. Doppelbett ist zu klein. Toillete direkt im Zimmer und nur mit Glaswand abgedeckt.
- Mehmet Şener (5/5): -
- Aiman (8/5): - המקום , הנקיון רעש מבתי הקפה בלילה , המקלחת נוזלת מים מחוץ לזכוכית
- Seham (1/5): I will never stay here again - The only positive thing is the location, which is very good, and the view which is beautiful. The room and the hotel itself are very small. There are only two rooms on each floor, and there is no option to upgrade because all the rooms are small. The elevator is extremely small, it can fit a maximum of three people. I asked the receptionist for an extra room card, but they said there is only one card per room.
- Narcisa (6/5): - Die Lage ist toll, sehr zentral genau so wie wir es mögen.
Frühstück war für uns persönlich immer genug, obwohl im Teller serviert wurde.
-das zimmer wurde geputzt wenn wir es so wollten, und das taten sie auch sehr lieb
-freundliche Damen an der rezeption Die Zimmer scheinen in echt tatsächlich kleiner als sie auf dem Foto aussehen. Im Budget zimmer konnte man sich kaum bewegen. Ist an sich kein Problem, sollte jedoch vielleicht anders (etwas reslitätsnäher) neu fotografiert werden damit die Gäste im Vorfeld wissen auf was sie sich einlassen.
-etwas renovierungsbedürftig (paar Plätze an den Wänden)
-details die man erst bemerkt wenn man kommt die dann einen nerven (wie ZB Vorhänge die halb abgehängt sind….Da frage ich mich ob es wirklich sehr schwer ist die Vorhänge einfach mal zu fixen..
- wir bestellten ein Taxi zum Flughafen. Dieser kam halbe Std zu spät (angeblich aufgrund des Regens)…Trotzdem waren wir dann leider seeeehr unter Stress und hatten auch am Flughafen Stress um einchecken zu können. Eigentlich sollte es so sein, dass der Fahrer des Hotels wenigstens 10min vor dem abgemachten Termin da ist.. (die Dame von der rezeption hat sich bemüht dies zu beschlecidern aber trotzdem
- Marcel (8/5): - Vriendelijkheid van de medewerkers
- Joseph (8/5): -
- Azzam (6/5): - الموقع عند خروجي من الفندق ضهور نقص في الغراض عند العودة
- Azzam (6/5): -
- Bilal (10/5): -
- Serife (7/5): Perfect stay right in the city centre, close to public transport - Location was perfect! Near to tramstation, Marmaray and even ferry
- HISHAM (10/5): اسطنبول الجميلة - جميل جدا النظافة والموقع والإطلالة على المنطقة لا شيء
- Hacer (10/5): -
- Abdulaziz (1/5): اسوء يومين في حياتي - لا يوجد كل ماهو في الفندق سيء
الموظفين والمبنى والغرفه والرائحة والفطور
تم حجز 4 ليالي ولكن ليلتين ولا اتحمل وطلبت الغاء المدة المتبقيه
ورفض الفندق ويفيد ان الازعاج بسبب المنطقة الحيوية و و مبى قديم داخل حي قديم
الغرفه صغير جداً ولكم ان تتخيلو ان الحمام داخل بنفس الغرفه بدون عوازل مجرد حاجز زجاجي ولا يوجد مروحة شفط
الماء بعد الاستحمام يتسرب الى داخل الغرفة
الفطور للأسف بيضه مسلوقه واحده وكم قطعه جبن وطمام وخيار وعلبه مربى ولكل نزيل طبق واحد
- Zija (7/5): -
- Ramin (1/5): We didn't stay. - Grat location The room was super small and it didn't maintain well at all, we left for another hotel immediately.
- Abdul (8/5): Very good -
- Mohamed (3/5): Poor - Location only I will definitely not be reserving this accommodation again because of the rude and poor customer service of the personnel, especially the staff who was in charge of breakfast.
- Sevilay (10/5): - Oda gayet temiz ve düzenli otel yetkikileri gayet ilgililer misafirperverlik için teşekkür ederiö
- Nisreen (6/5): Not suitable for more than one person - Location was. Perfect beside marmary metro station and sercagy tramway station, surrounded all shops and restaurants types , beside sea, staff are nice and helpful Room was tooooo tight for tow,it’s fine for only one , bed is not comfy ,bathroom is tight and every time you have shower the hall toilet drowning , sink is too small, problems in the AC most of the time ، they didn’t help us to get taxi at check out time ,with a lot of bags and my kid ,so I have to go negotiate taxies in the main road and lead them back to hotel to leave the area .
No isolation between rooms you can hear your neighbors
- EYLEM (8/5): - Küçük şirin bir otel, iş seyahatleri için uygun
- Milivoje (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ramazan (1/5): Bad - İt was just central When We entered the hotel 2 of us couldn't fit in the elevator
And in spite of they don't mention on their public page they ask for marriage licence otherwise they don't let u in. staff at the entrance she asked me if we re married or just together
- Dani (4/5): Sleepless nights because of mosque 4:30 - Location was good Every morning at 4:30 you will definitely wake up because of the mosque

- Antoniette (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dijana (10/5): Everything was great!! - Breakfast colud be better. But, stuff is great! Breakfast, ham 😥
- Mayara (6/5): Razoável - A localização do hotel é excelente. O quarto é muito pequeno e porta do banheiro depois abre, não fecha. A porta do box não fecha completamente, quando você toma banho, tudo fica molhado.
- Alena (9/5): Superb - I loved the staff!! They are so kind and helpful. The lady who cleaned the room was just amazing, she always made sure that I was fine and happy with everything. Thank you!
The room had a good view, right in the centre, lots of light. Amazing.
And the location is definitely one of the best.
Thank you for everything! Just a bit too small, but again, the advantages are way more than that.
- Mirza (10/5): - Best location, so easy to go anywhere in Istanbul from this area, whether by public transportation or by walking
- Yahya (4/5): Disappointing -
- Verified traveler (10/5): Mükemmel lokasyon - Otel gerçekten çok iyi idi ödenen fiyata göre.. Yeri on numara heryere yürüyüş mesafesinde.odalar yenilenmiş. Tertemiz . Yatak oldukça rahat. Bir otel odasında olması gereken herşey var. Mini buzdolabı, kasa, su ıstıcısı ve çay, kahve, saç kurutma makinası
Yangın dedektörleri var çalışıyor her odanın minik bir de başkonu bulunuyor.Kapıda görünen yıldızına kimse bakmasın vallahi 4 yıldızlı nice otele taş çıkartır
- Danar (6/5): Pleasant - His toilet smelled very dirty
- Hanife (8/5): - Personel cok gümeryüzlü ve güzel calisiyorlar. Odalar biraz kücük ama yetiyor tek dus almaya be uyumyaya. Ceket askilarida eksik. Genel olarak memnun kaldik
- Ahmed (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sero (10/5): Exceptional - The staffs was very friendly and honest, i left my money and my passport and everything at the room and the cleaner was coming cleaning when i was out and nothing was missing.. very good service the guys was very respectful and good with us
- Mohamed (8/5): Very good -
- Mohamed (8/5): Very good -
- Haci Osman (10/5): - Top Lage, Station Sirkeci ist zu fuß 1minute entfernt. Beste Lage
- Mohamed (9/5): Superb -
- Lorena (9/5): Superb - Housekeeping very polite and helpful
Clean rooms
Rezeption very polite and comunicative
- Aicha (6/5): Pleasant -
- Samer (6/5): Okey hotel for one or two nights - Location Bathroom
- Mohd (8/5): Very good - Location and staff Room quite small for couple... Suit well for solo traveller
- Robert (10/5): Good accomodation, Good location. - Hotel located near to all top attractions, everything is walkable distance. Accommodation is fair for the price. Breakfast is also good, staff is kind and friendly. Nothing as such, all good.
- Rashidova (8/5): Very good -
- Muhammad (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lucia (8/5): At all we spent great time in Istanbul and hotel - Perfect location 1 min from tramway, 10 min to Hagia Sofia and Mani tourist attractions Always the samé turkish breakfast. 4TH morning we decided to go for breakfast to restaurant
- Ioana (8/5): Very good -
- Alena (9/5): Cosy stay, super friendly and helpful staff!! - Location to Marmaray, amazing staff!! Interesting design and very nice balcony For me ok, but can be important for someone that this is very centre and the street is noisy till late night. Keep in mind if your sleep is sensitive.
The bathroom door is not closing properly, wasn’t a problem for me but if you are a ‘splish-splash’ kind of person you can make a pond in the room :)
- Tatiana (6/5): The location is great, but the hotel needs renovation - The biggest advantage of this hotel is the location and the friendly staff. You can also get a beautiful view of the Bosphorus if you go out on the balcony. Breakfast was unacceptable: one egg, one slice of sausage, three olives, three cucumber slices, three tomato slices, a small portion of cheese, bread, and a portion of jam and chocolate paste, tea. And that's the whole breakfast.
Another disadvantage is the bathroom. As many people have already written, water constantly leaks out and it is difficult to close the door tightly.
- Chirag (8/5): Very good - Location was ideal and walkable to most of tourist spots like Blue mosque, hagia Sofia, topkapi palace, basilica cistern ~ 12 mins walk. The gentleman at reception was very kind and helpful. The lady at reception was not very friendly, breakfast was from 8-10 we reached maybe 10 mins early and she refused to serve saying its closed, no apology nothing. We just wanted bread butter and tea. At least as a courtesy could have offered some cold items. After my husband requested for tea she gave it. Anyways not that much important but still something to note to improve the service.
- annie (8/5): - Endroit très bien desservi par tt les moyens de transports,bus,métro,tramway,bateau!!et aussi a pied...Hotel modeste simple,personnel très gentil,très efficace.Je suis très satisfaite de ma vacance!!!!
- Ezzeldeen (4/5): Disappointing - The room absolutely disgusting and very dirty.
Tiny you cat even move .
Walls marks every where
Bathroom is a disaster .
- Jimmy (9/5): Superb -
