Hotel Miniature - Ottoman Mansion0

We would like to thank the staff of Hotel Miniature for the wonderful time we had during our stay there between June 21-25. Everybody was so friendly, polite and accommodating! Always smiling and ready to help! Thank you nice people! The hotel itself it's a hidden gem in the heart of the busiest and most attractive part of Istanbul. It is located literally 5 minutes walking distance away form the main tourist attractions: Hagia Sophia, The Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern and the Grand Bazaar. The hotel is very clean, modern looking and well maintained. Rooms are unique and offer everything needed for a relaxing stay when visiting Istanbul! Breakfast is a must, offering samples from the local food and more traditional foods at the same time. Once again, we have noting but praise for the staff of the hotel, no mater kitchen staff, servers, cleaning staff or the front office - they all were great and made us feel welcomed at any time! We highly recommend this hotel to anyone who visits Istanbul, especially for tourists visiting for the first time! Thank you Hotel Miniature!

Excellent location, all the main sights - Hagia Sofya, the Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar, Basilica Cistern etc - within 7 to 10 minutes gentle walk. Lots of nice corner cafes, cheap local eateries with good food. We ordered roof-top light meals at the hotel, and these were excellent and reasonably priced. The grilled chicken wraps were huge and delicious! Our "Luxury" room was a little smaller than expected, but comfortable. A very good small lift, well used as the stairs are steep. Superb champagne shower, lots of hot water (though NO hot water on the first day as the heater had broken down, hey ho. Staff did their best to get it fixed quickly.).

Not too keen on the modern way of having the bathroom area divided from the sleeping area just by frosted glass partitions and doors which don't even seal together. Much rather have proper partitions with proper doors for a bit of privacy.

It is beyond all my expectations! Fabulous boutique hotel in the heart of the old town. The rooms are beautiful, especially the suite that we stayed in! The staff are super lovely and helpful.

Fantastic hotel in a great central location close to all major attractions and easy to get around. Nearby to the hotel are multiple restaurants/bars. The hotel does not have a bar or common area but there is a really nice roof terrace with great views where you can take drinks up to yourself if you wish. The rooms are very comfortable and have everything you need as well as a very well equipped Bathroom with excellent shower. The rate includes a full Turkish breakfast and we found this to be very good and varied each day. Final comment, all the staff we dealt with were fantastic as well and it was a very friendly and welcoming hotel

One of our favourite accommodation during our month long trip around Europe + Turkey. Beautiful interior with great showers. And plentiful pillows! They even had a pillow menu! So pampered! Staffs were amazing. Special thanks to Murat who helped us with check in (late at night around 10pm) and gave us great tips for getting around and places to eat! Definitely check out Deraliye for a great meal (abit on the pricier side) but their goose kebab was the best thing I had in Istanbul! Breakfast was an amazing spread, I think I’m addicted to Turkish coffee, and definitely try their Menemen (kind of like Turkish scrambled eggs)!! Overall super comfortable stay, great location!! (Little tip: get to Hagia Sofia early!! - before 9am opening time to avoid queueing for hours)

Perfectly located boutique hotel for all the main tourist attractions. Loved that there's only 11 rooms, we stayed in the top floor suite we had the floor to ourselves with views of the hagia Sophia, Blue mosque, and the bosphorus from the communal roof terrace, because it's a small hotel it's never really busy you almost have exclusive use of the terrace which was a big plus. The front desk staff are very helpful and went out of their way to assist us.

Cleanliness, we stayed for 6 nights and noticed that our bedding wasn't changed once, bathrooms tidied but not cleaned by the cleaning staff, cleaning staff let it down which is quite disappointing because the hotel is an amazing little place.

Very friendly staff always available for additional information, both about the hotel and the tourist offer of the city. Accommodation unit clean, with all necessary facilities. Very pleasant atmosphere in the restaurant. Close to all key attractions. Recommend. If I go back to Istanbul again, I will definitely choose this hotel again.

A wonderful boutique hotel in the heart of Sultanahmet that exceeded all my expectations. Murat and his team were simply amazing! They displayed very warm hospitality, and were always in touch daily through WhatsApp. The room was comfortable, clean and well appointed. The shower was amazing, refreshed me totally. I highly recommend the hotel breakfast, delicious and filling. The restaurant staff were friendly and efficient. The hotel is 5 minutes from the Sultanahmet T1, which turned out to be a blessing. The place is surrounded by some amazing cuisine too. Just book Hotel Miniature for your next trip to Istanbul. You won't regret it. Cheers

Everything was just perfect. What's not to like

Location is closed to attractions, restaurants and grocery. Room has nice decor, comfortable bed. Breakfast courtyard is beautiful. Well functioning aircon / heater system.

Bathroom needs a shower door, else the floor gets wet. All towels desperately need to be replaced - it’s worn, not white anymore and has stains. Bed sheet has stains as well. Cleanliness can be better. Food at breakfast was ok - prefer a buffet vs individual servings to prevent wastage.

Amazing hotel, super friendly staff! Murat welcomed us and supported us during our 4 night stay. Every morning we got a whatsapp with local information about the weather and must knowns for that day. Impeccable service!! The location is perfect, in the middle of the old city. A few mins walk away from Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque. Hotel is beautiful, modern and up to highest standards. Very clean. And the rooftop (with places in shadow and sun) is such a nice place to relax after a day of sightseeing. Breakfast is very tasty. Eggs made on request and a whole selection of small dishes is prepared for you. Would highly recommend to stay here!!

Only thing you need to keep in mind is that the hotel is super central (which is a plus!) But therefore there is also some city noise whenever the window is open.
