Guest Reviews
- Rehan (4/5): - Frokost meny var bra men dårlig renhold klagde nesten daglig. Bra med butikker og restauranter i nærheten. itilegg i nærheten av Topkapi, Aya sophia, blå moske var ett pluss
- Roman (10/5): - Todo el personal muy amable y atento EFE AKSOY, muy amable y nos ayudo mucho con todos, 100% recomendable
- Basilia martha (10/5): - Muy bien ubicado céntrico aunque quieres salir de vida nocturna escoge cerca del rio pero ahí es cerca cruzando el puente con taxi.
- Andrew (8/5): Family stay in Instanbul - Great location and friendly staff, combined with a fantastic rooftop restaurant for breakfast. The room could do with a bit of maintenance, but overall a very enjoyable stay.
- Aleksandra (2/5): - Die Unterkunft ist nicht empfehlenswert. Das inbegriffene Frühstück sah abgestanden aus und es gab auch keine vernünftige Auswahl. Statt frischer Milch für den Kaffee gab es Milchpulver. Das Zimmer ist alt, versifftes Mobiliar und die Sauberkeit lässt auch sehr zu wünschen übrig.
- Xhemil (10/5): - Allgemein war sehr gut
- Thaïs (10/5): - Les chambres sont très bien, l'emplacement est parfait si vous voulez profiter du vieux Istanbul
- Tomas Sorli (6/5): - Cercano a monumentos y desde terraza buenas vistas
- Shakira (6/5): - Overall hotel was nice clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful but some front desk staff were little forceful on offering excursions and private taxi service in €uro which was a LOT more expensive than paying in Lira and didn’t like it when i declined the offer. Housekeeping and breakfast staff were Amazing. However VERY disappointed with the fact there was no mention on expdia that there is NO LIFT in the property. It was difficult to climb up and down 2 floors for me as a person with mobility issues.
- KHEDIDJA (8/5): - Le personnel à disposition, aimable, serviable,respectueux Au niveau des escaliers, la construction de l'hôtel quelque peu fatigante - chambres d'1 côté opposé à la terrasse (escaliers en colimaçon)- Cependant, la vue de la terrasse est assez agréable et le Monsieur qui tient le lieu très sympathique.
- HASAN (2/5): - Poor experience too many bed bugs in the room lot of stray dogs outside hotel and no cleanliness inside the hotel
- PM (6/5): Facilities - Not enough facilities and communication was not good
- Olga (8/5): - El desayuno magnífico, muy variado y casero, servido en la terraza frente al Bósforo. Las habitaciones un poco justas, pero limpias, las camas cómodas y con todo lo necesario. La ubicación, a los pies de Santa Sofía, junto a una zona de hotelitos, restaurantes, bares...
- Nilay (10/5): - Great boutique hotel. Walking distance to many attractions in İstanbul. The staff is awesome and friendly. There is a private shuttle to and back to an awesome fish and meat restaurant called Yildizlar Restaurant. I recommend going there to experience Bosphorus dining. The free breakfast served at the terrace on the roof is cherry on top. Not all hotels in the area offer that. The view is beautiful and Yurkish breakfast items are fantastic. Hard on cars, but they have parking compared to many other hotels. Taxi service is available. Don't be scared of the two-way hill-y roads where one car barely fits, but they find a way to make it work although sometimes one car has to back out. Easy access to restaurants of the area and convenient stores. You can safely walk out at night as the cafes and restaurants stay open till 4 am We would go back there if we ever visit the area again.
- mohamed (8/5): Bon rapport qualité prix - Le personnel de l acceuille est tres gentil , les chambre sont un peu petite mais a ce prix la ca me semble totalement normal.
- Juan Ignacio (10/5): - All perfect
- Ravi Kumar (6/5): - The hotel itself was fine...few things i feel it wasnt up to .. the stairs are very narrow and steep....very scary to go up and down and with a suitcase its even worse. The mattresses definately need replacing as the metal springs poke through when you lying down. Breakfast i not very international and only local teas available.....staff was friendly.
- Paul (8/5): - Loved the roof top deck with great breakfast and views. Staff was delightful and always willing to help. Location was great. I would recommend the owner stay away from the property and allow his staff to do their great work. He was surly and rude to both customers and his employees
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Dat was heel goed. Personeel waren super vriendelijk.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Terrific hotel & location! - Excellent long term stay in very clean and new 2br condo with kitchen for our family! Hadir is a great friendly owner that made us very welcome as he is always available, professional and knowledgeable and so is his attentive staff. Nice breakfast was included and served on the beautiful terrace overlooking the sea. Safe and quiet location is superb with Hagia Sofia and sites in easy 5 mins walking distance. Also Sultanahmet tram is right there just in case for easy access to anywhere. Would definitely stay here again.
- Melodie (10/5): - Meine Unterkunft und Bekleidung war meine 6 jährige Tochter. Wir haben die Zeit und die Nächte gut genossen. Es ist alles Fußläufig zu erreichen einkaufen Sehenswürdigkeiten Essen und Trinken. Schöne Unterkunft empfehlenswert Daumen hoch 👍
- Fatih (8/5): - Konaklamamız iyiydi. Şehir merkezine yakın. Temiz bir yer
- Senihat (10/5): - Très bien
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Lage sehr gut, ältere hotel, Treppenhaus sehr eng-mit große Koffer schwer hoch zu laufen
- Ertugrul (10/5): - Because of our indirect flight , we had to check in late but it was okay, the person at the reception greeted us with a huge smile and he gave the briefing about room, we went into the room and literally , it was much better than my expecta
- Fatih (2/5): Rezillik - Otelde konaklamaya gittik, yer yok diyip aparta yönlendirdiler. Ses etmedik, ikinci gün birisi kapıyı anahtarla açıp eve dalıyordu, bağırmasam üstümde kıyafet yokken görülecektim, bizden habersiz birinin eve dalması kabul edilemez, evi tutmuşsam benden izinsiz kimse girememeli bu her şeyden önemli, başkasına nasıl anahtar verilir Ayrıca 2.akşam banyodayken sıcak su bi anda soğudu ben banyodayken bi daha da ısınmadı
- Wided (10/5): - Charmant hôtel très bien situé le personnel très aimable
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Good service , nice people. Just walking to go every tourism need to see
- Verified traveler (4/5): - L’emplacement proche des monuments est parfait par contre niveau hygiène a fuir drap moisi odeur d’humidité. Ménage mal fait. Petit déjeuner pauvre très peu de choix et toujours la même chose. Personnel quand même gentil
- AykutAynur (8/5): - Cute nice and perfect located I would come again
- Serhat (10/5): - Kesinlikle mükemmel. Odamız büyük ve çok temizdi aynı şekilde banyo ve tuvaletler yeni ve temizdiler. Personel Güler yüzlü ve yardımsever. Konum Harika. Heryere yakın. Sultanahmet camisine 5 dakika yürüme mesafesi. Herşey için teşekkürler
- BC (6/5): - La posizione dell'hotel è perfetta (stradina silenziosa ma a due passi da santa sofia ), appartamento al primo piano gradevole anche se un po' anonimo, appartamento al piano terra che affaccia direttamente sulla strada e un po' buio, cmq letti comodi, stanze pulite e rifatte tutti i giorni e spazi abbastanza ampi. La terrazza per la colazione ha una vista spettacolare (ma quarto piano a piedi, non lo consiglierei a bambini piccolissimi o anziani) . Il palazzo di fronte è stato abbattuto ed è un cantiere a cielo aperto quindi quando si arriva la prima impressione è desolante . In sintesi albergo comodo ben posizionato e pulito ma pochissimo charme!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Totally satisfied. Everything was good. Nice terrace with an amazing view to the sea side. Good service. I suggest it to everybody.
- Mary (6/5): Adequate accommodation - Nice family hotel in Sultanahmet. Very nice people who were very friendly and helpful. Room adequate- there was nowhere to relax really. Quite expensive for a solo traveller.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - The only thing that was nice about this hotel is that when you climb upstairs in a 6 to 7 floor spiral stair case you come to the top of the roof and you get to see the ocean view from far, I would have to say it also had a good sea air breeze. The things that I disliked about this hotel was that there was no elevators so this place is definitely not the spot for handicapped people. Every room is 3 or more stories high so you have to take all these stairs to reach your room carrying your luggage. The stairs are steep on framed with marble flooring so any slip can send you to a major injury or your death bed! The rooms are not the cleanest and accommodations are not so fulfilling. I really would not recommend this place for a stay. This hotel or should I call hostel is placed in rubbish and run down area.
- Sharida (8/5): - We stayed in an appartement. Very spacious and comfortable beds. But little tired. Very good located. Breakfast was good but you had to walk 4 floors to the restaurant.
- patricio (2/5): Horrible hotel - No se lo recomiendo a nadie
- Shahab (2/5): Avoid this so called hotel - Photos are so misleading! It’s in a ruined alley and it’s an old building turned into a something that they call a hotel. Felt so bad when I got there. It was too late to cancel. No elevators and steps are so narrow; so good luck taking your luggage up 4 floors. It should have never got the certification of operating as a hotel to begin with. They advertise as free parking to come up on search tools, but there is no parking. It’s street parking! Very very overpriced. With the same price you can get an actual hotel not this sham. In one word; AVOID
- Muhamed (2/5): - Insects in room We ordered 2 rooms and they told us they didnt have 2 rooms so we stayed with 4 people in 1 room. Terrible location it was like a ghetto or something. We saw the photos of the skyline on internet so we go to the upper floor and saw litterly only buildings and no skyline or the sea. We went sick after de first night. When we ordered food the deliveries said also what this place is and they said also i wouldnt even stay here for 10minutes. The lession for me is i will pay 100 euros more per person for a better hotel if they offer me free room i dont go there again!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - L'établissement est super propre ,bien situer a côté de la mosquée sultan ahmet est du marché du grand bazar fatih la terrasse ou lon prend le petit déjeuner a une vue magnifique
- SAMIA (6/5): Séjour en famille à Istanbul - L'état général de l'hôtel est assez correct, vieil immeuble mais bien entretenu. La chambre est propre et le ménage est fait tous les jours. Par contre, et à cause de l'ancienneté de l'immeuble, on entend malheureusement les locataires d'à côté qui parlent très fort tard la nuit et celui d'en bas, nous a enfumé, si j'ose dire, sachant que l'hôtel est non-fumeur il fume toute la nuit dans sa salle de bain et tout remonte dans la notre et envahit notre chambre, nous étant nonfumeurs et avec enfants cela nous incommodait, nous avons signalé ce problème à l'accueil et rien n'a été fait! Le petit déjeuner est un buffet à volonté assez fourni, on a aimait. Le réceptionniste, à l'accueil, était sympathique, il nous a fourni une carte de la ville et nous a indiqué les endroits touristiques à visiter.
- Karim (6/5): - Istanbul est un très beau pays à faire au moins une fois dans sa vie. L'hôtel spinel est très bien situé proche de Topkapi, de la mosquée bleue par contre l'hôtel est moyen on avait une chambre qui donnait sur un mur en ciment.... Concernant le petit déjeuner il n'était pas très variés et le personnel pas très agréables.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - Nicht zum weiter empfehlen pesonal 0 Frühstück 0
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Good points are the views from terrace, when having breakfast. Breakfast was very good, although its the same items every single day. The location was excellent but its in a very run down area. We had 2 very tiny rooms next door to the actual hotel, i got 3 kids it felt over-crowding. Staff tried their best. They need to modernise it.
- Chafik (8/5): - Sa situation géographique, proche de la place principale ou se trouve la mosquée bleue et la sainte sophia.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - A 100 metri da Santa Sofia e moschea blu pieno centro Sultanahmet personale cortese struttura molto carina e ben tenuta top top consigliatissimo
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Keine warmes Wasser mann konnte nicht dusche , Frühstück war 4 Tag lange immer das gleiche
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Personnel très agréable, Emplacement pas adapté aux familles avec enfants
- MYRIAM (10/5): Super séjour - Super accueil, emplacement excellent très proche de la place Sultanahmet (mosquée bleue et Sté Sophie). Vraiment top. Literie confortable et propre ! Salle de bain spacieuse avec douche à l’italienne. Petit déjeuner simple mais fournis ! Je ne peux que recommender
- Ibrahim (8/5): Güzel konum - Topkapı Saray’ı na çok yakın. Otelin odaları biraz küçük. Onun dışında gayet iyi.teras manzarası güzel. Tekrar kalmak isterim
- Nabila (10/5): Very good place ! - It was a very amazing place to stay. Out from the traffic and noise during night, so we can fully rest in peace. Very calm place and close to the sea and also there is a lot of cheap shop to buy snacks.The room is so nice and neat, plus I love the colour inside. Recommended to everyone !
- Ronaldo (8/5): Recomendo - O hotel, apesar de simples, é muito bom. Fica bem localizado, a poucos metros de caminhada da mesquita azul. As camas são confortáveis, o chuveiro é bom, realizaram a limpeza e troca das toalhas todos os dias. Como nos hospedamos em 4 pessoas, ficamos no apartamento, com 2 quartos, sala, cozinha e banheiro e que fica numa construção ao lado do hotel, mas que não interfere na estadia. A internet era um pouco lenta e não funcionava direito nos quartos. O café da manhã era bom, apesar da pouca variedade, e com vista para o mar.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Excellent hotel, very friendly staff, very close to the main attractions in Istanbul. Would definitely stay again
- Verified traveler (10/5): Hôtel calme & équipe sympathique - L'hôtel est calme , Une équipe sympathique et professionnelle. Les chambres sont propres nettoyées chaque jour... Le buffet est varié, la connexion wifi fonctionne bien dans les chambres. L'hôtel est proche de Sainte Sophie et de la mosquée bleue.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Hotel accueillant, proche de la Mosquée bleu - La proximité de l'hôtel de tous les sites (Mosquée bleu, ste Sphie)est un atout, cela vous permet à pied d'aller les visiter,un peu plus loin à environ 15mn il y a le grand bazar puis le pont de Galata à l'entrée de la Corne d'or où l'on peut faire une croisière d'une heure et demie ,prendre son billet au bateaux et pas ce qu'on vous propose en ville. Istanbul et une ville très agréable, l'on y mange très bien.
- MUHAMMAD SAAD (10/5): Superb budget accomodation - An excellent little boutique hotel run by a a very generous family, who would go way out of their way to make you feel comfortable Really no criticism for this hotel You get what you paid for very economical hotel
- Jens (10/5): Perfect location in Istanbul for great price - Excellent location, in the heart of histotic Istanbul, in Sultanahmet, only five minute stroll to Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cisterne, Blue Mosque, ten minutes to Topkapi Palace, 15 minutes to Grand Bazat. Conveiniently connected by tram T1 for almost all other major sites of Istanbul. And the view for breakfast from the rooftop terrace is magnificent.
- Philippe (8/5): Une semaine en famille à Istanbul - 8 jours en famille (couple avec 3 enfants de 11, 8 et 4 ans) à Istanbul. Cette ville a quelque chose de magique et l’hôtel Spinel est parfait pour aller à sa découverte. À 5-10 minutes à pieds de Topkapi, Sainte Sophie et la mosquée bleue. Le tramway est également à côté donc pratique pour circuler vers d’autres endroits. La chambre de l’hotel était plutôt bien, le ménage est fait tous les jours. Surtout, le personnel est super gentil et toujours près à rendre service ou conseiller. Nous ne regrettons pas notre choix.
- SAMER (10/5): Nice small family property close to SultanAhmet - A 5 minutes walk to main attractions in sultanahmed area. Confortable beds and facilities. Nice sea view from terrace. Stuff are so friendly and helpful. Best regards to Mr. Hidir and his son and Mr. Fikri. My next stay will be in Spinel hotel. Thank you
- Staffan (6/5): - Väldigt trevlig personal, lugnt område där hotellet finns, underbar utsikt från takterassen
- Robert (10/5): Small price great views over Bosporus - I am not sure whether it is excellent training or the staff truly is so helpful and friendly - for me the service was excellent, from the airport transfer they organised to check in, very decent breakfast with an amazing view and the comfortable beds. Yes, the local street is not a well looked after boulevard, but the local main street is a few steps aways so no traffic or noisy close to the hotel. Would recommend to anyone who does not look exclusively for brand named hotels but hospitality that is sometime lacking in much more expensive hotel.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Super! Toller Empfang. Sehr hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend. Tolles Frühstück mit toller Aussicht.
- slimppas (8/5): - Pas mal sauf que les toilettes sont dans la salle de bain et la vue donne sur une ruelle sinon personnel accueillant ne parlant pas français.
- Peter (2/5): Old hotel in run down area - - Hotel has 5 flights of narrow steep stairs to room and the smae agin to breakfast Area is run down and seedy Poor breakfast with limited choices Staff were helpful
- Stephanie (10/5): Super petit hôtel! - Un super petit hôtel à 2 pas de de la mosquée bleue et ste Sophie. Super équation géographique, personnel très agréable et hôtel très propre. A conseiller sans hésitation!
- Faye (8/5): Great location, friendliness and cleanliness - The staff speak fluent English and are very welcoming with their warm Turkish hospitality and hot Turkish tea! The reception area and rooms are very modern and clean. If you have mobility issues, you may have trouble getting to breakfast (which is delicious) as it’s on the top floor. We did have an issue with ants 2 nights of our stay, but the hotel staff handled it. Awesome location, minutes from Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Hübsches Hotel - Kleines Hotel und gute Lage im Zentrum die große Stadt Istanbul für Besucher an par tage ist gut. Alles was ist interessant ist in die Nähe Guten Standort und schöne Aussicht Personal ist gut. Zimmer ist klein und für schlafen ist genug Alles ist gut und empfehle ich weiter an die Menschen welche ich kenne. Dankeschön für Ihre freundliche Bedienung Bis zum nächsten mal Lg
- Verified traveler (8/5): Spinel Hotel, Istanbul - A good Hotel located near Sultanhamet area (a touristic location in Istanbul). Beware not to bring with you heavy luggages because there is no lift in the Hotel.
- Diane (8/5): great location and great value - A warm welcome with a refreshing turkish tea is the perfect start after a long journey. The rooms are very compact but the beds are comfortable and the rooms have everything you need and are very clean. Breakfast is served in the rooftop area with views over the sea. And the icing on the cake is that it is only 5-10 mins walk from the key sites of Topkapi palace, Sophia Hag and the Blue Mosque. And there are plenty of restaurants just a few minutes away.
- Imma (4/5): Hotel condition not good - I chose this hotel believing that I would find what I saw on Expedia but alas, I was seriously disappointed. Firstly, the staircase was terribly designed almost felt like I was climbing a tree. Secondly, the hotel is located in the thick of an ancient neighborhood which makes it unattractive for someone wishing to take a stroll after a busy workday. Wouldn't recommend this hotel to someone traveling to Istanbul on business.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nice small hotel. - I stayed 3 nights in the 3d floor double room. Staff are all friendly and helpful. Roof top dining room was quite nice with sea view. Only draw back was small bottle of water in fridge cost 4tl while it was sold 0.5tl at grocery store.
- Fraz (6/5): Location - it was good
- Zenon (8/5): Spinel - I had a great time, the staff were all incredibly kind and helpful, and the area was very close to the old city and walking distance to many attractions. The room size was small but it was clean and felt modern and fresh. The small thing I would like to add for possible improvement is the breakfast (although great and was nice to eat on the rooftop terrace) was missing a main component, it was just small snacks. But I had an amazing time and would recommend it.
- lisa (8/5): Spinel Hotel - Situated in the old town, Spinel Hotel is tucked away in a quiet location within easy walking distance of restaurants and sites. The friendly staff and rooftop breakfast overlooking the Bosphorus were our highlights. If you don't mind steps and stairs and a smallish room, then this hotel is for you.
- Steph & Andy (10/5): Clean, friendly and very central - Hotel itself is great, staff too. Good breakfast on a lovely roof top terrace. Rooms are not the largest but have double beds, fridges, wardrobes etc. and the en suite was modern and stylish. The street the hotel is on can look a little run down but don't let this out you off. It is so central to the old town and very good value for money.
