Senatus Hotel - Special Class0

My family and I had the most amazing time in the Senatus Hotel! First, you cannot beat the location it’s so close to so many tourist attractions like the Blue Mosque and the Haiga Sophia, etc. The hotel is very clean and nice, the breakfast is also good. The absolute best thing about the hotel is undoubtedly the staff. Ismail (sorry if i’m writing it wrong) and his wife, Hassan and everybody else were so so helpful, booked us private tours, a day cruise through the Bosphorus, our trip to Capadoccia, gave us endless great recommendations and warnings about things to look out for. They went above and beyond to make our trip incredible and so memorable. Definitely recommend this place and if given the chance we would love to return

Its in an amazing location, the room and terrace were very clean and the room service was excellent, Ismail as our host was just great - he assisted us from before we took off from the UK via WhatsApp and was able to ensure our airport transfers were timely - he made it so easy and pleasant and safe for us to arrive from the hotel in a VIP taxi. Our room wasn’t initially ready when we arrived but we knew of this due to the constant communication via WhatsApp (we arrived very early in the morning and originally check in was at 12pm) but Ismail made sure our bags were safe so we could travel out to the City and enjoy Istanbul without us dragging all of our luggage (Hagia Sofia is literally a 2-4 min walk, it’s so close!). We didn’t really take advantage of the breakfast but only on the first day - the food choices are fresh and great as it gives you a taste into what to expect in Turkish breakfast if you’re new to it. The service and treatment was impeccable, they are served on time and with a smile and they speak good English and they make time to have a conversation and inform you how to plan your day in case there are restorations or political blocks that may affect the tourist attractions and give alternatives. We had the top floor room with the terrace and a spa bath and honestly it was value for money and the Spa Bath was just *chefs kiss*. We would book here again in a heartbeat!

Its not really an issue but sometimes the elevator button doesn’t respond to calling the lift, as it’s touchscreen. The trick is to press a thumb or a finger lightly then press down with the surface of your finger/thumb for it to respond. There’s no need to flick and and bash at the touchscreen in frustration if you find it doesn’t initially respond

Extremely nice and professional staff, great location, and the terrace in our room was just phenomenal.

Bad smell from the ventilation in the bathroom bothered us a lot. Keep in mind it is a 3 star hotel, so manage your expectations accordingly.

Clean rooms Decent size Mini bar with drinks (Have to pay extra) Free water Very good breakfast, good choice Restaurants near by 4 mins walk to blue mosque 5 mins walk to Hagia Sophia 8 mins walk to topkapi museum 5 mins to T1 tram 10 mins walk to grand bazaar Location wise it was good

the staff was amazing and the location was really close to many attractions such as the blue mouse and the grand bazar. the staff was really helpful in booking tours and taxis and was really friendly. the rooms were clean and comfortable and the area was safe

the location is fantastic, in the heart of Istanbul. the staff especially Hassan was very welcome and supportive. the Room was clean everyday

the breakfast needs more options especially for kids, like waffle, pancake, etc. Family suits was one room included all master bedroom and 2 single which was bad choice, therefore I recommend for family with children to take executive room, so the parents can get more privacy.

Superb communication from the time I placed the booking. We had some issues which were entirely my fault and had to extend our stay by another day. Hotel management immediately checked us into alternative rooms. They are extremely helpful and suggested tours, airport shuttles, restaurants, etc. Breakfast was really nice.

Nothing; the staff of this hotel were perfect.

Very close to all of the amazing places we wanted to see. Good breakfast in the morning, the staff was very friendly and helpful. They were able to make reservations for us and gave us tips on the best way to do everything we wanted to do.

Perfect location, 3 minutes walk to the Sultanahmet, Aya Sophia and Blue Mosque. There are so many restaurants around and they’re open in covid times even during the curfew and lockdown. The room is small and cute, but has a huge terrace, I enjoyed my time there a lot. There’s also a cute street dog living by the doors, she’s old and sweet, I loved how the hotel employees were very kind and caring towards her. At some point she started barking and the hotel employee Hassan ran to her to give her belly rubs, I found it was very sweet of him. Hassan was very helpful and gave many recommendations around the city. And the hotel manager was very kind, send fruits and wine to my room, unfortunately I don’t remember his name.

Excellent service , very friendly staff and very nice property for the money , the location is heart of city that is Sultanahmet. Beautiful historical town right outside your hotel door ! Very good value of money
