Wonderful, friendly, knowledgeable, helpful staff. Convenient location: historic area two blocks from Grand Bazaar & tram station on Divanyolu, lively during the day but very quiet neighborhood at night. Spectacular views of sea and historical buildings (including a 15th century, still-functioning, hamam) from rooftop terrace. Many electrical outlets made charging electronic devices easy.

Bed was very uncomfortable, but perhaps that was just my room. Other suites had different layouts, and perhaps different beds. As an older person, I found the steep circular staircases a bit challenging, although they were part of the charm of the old historic building. Breakfast was lackluster, and the pre-arranged breakfast trays seemed wasteful, since they contained items one might not have chosen for oneself and, I noticed, a lot was left uneaten by guests. However, when requested, the breakfast lady was gracious and very willing to accommodate individual tastes and needs to the extent possible.

Oban suites is the best hotel for everything, location, staff, breakfast, comfort and cleanliness. It was definitely value for money. Is is very near all attractions where we walked. Owners Hido and his brother Irfan were extremely helpful. They advised for everything like shopping, travelling and eating out. Location was excellent. We walked to all the visiting place, even it is walking distance to Eminonu. Only 12 minutes walk if you go through grand bazar, (follow Google directions). From Eminonu we travelled on ferry to Bursa and next day to Buyukada (princess Island). There are lot of choices of eating places around Oban suites. We are very grateful for the support of owners Hido and his brother Irfan.

Nothing

The location was excellent, about 400m from the Grand Bazaar and within a 10 minute walk to the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque. The Metro line was also at the top of the road, so it has excellent transport links. It was clean, tidy, comfortable, and good value for money, and it felt like home for the duration of our stay. By far, the best thing was the staff. They were all helpful and kind, and my 3 year old daughter took a real shine to them. The gentleman on the check-in desk at night (Sefer) was particularly sweet to her; she always looked for him. They would have a nice "chat" every day and created bonded. The staff also helped us plan an itinerary that met our needs and gave us some local tips and knowledge. They always had plenty of time for us, which was much appreciated.

The only thing I would say were that the overhead lamps in the room didn't work, but it was not an issue.

The location was close to our line of business. Tram station was just five minutes' walk from the hotel. There are lots of small restaurants in the vicinity of the hotel. Breakfast was healthy enough - Turkish Breakfast. The room was comfortable enough including the new refurbished bathroom. Though it was quite cold outside the room was warm enough - well heated. Staff was always ready to assist whenever required. We were assisted with an early check-in in a different room in the early morning until our room was ready.

Nothing bad can be said.

Location and the 2 brothers who ran the hotel were great. Breakfast was better than expected (having read the reviews), loved the fact there were traditional options and the view from the dining area was stunning. Room was a great size and bathroom was very good.

Just little things, room wasn’t dirty but probably needed a spring clean. Towels while there plenty were a bit threadbare and ability to make coffee/ tea in room would have been good.

The staff were welcoming and helpful throughout the stay. They provided suggestions in what to do within the area and the best modes of transport to use i.e. trams.

The breakfast was very Turkish style, I feel it could have been more continental to cater to everyone. The room could have been cleaned better - they forgot to take out the bins and it seemed like the bedding was not changed but just altered to look more presentable.

Love the hotel, the property is very clean and breakfast is wonderful, but internet connection is very weak. Location is in the center of everything, very close to blue mosque, Grand Bazaar is across the Main Street 7 min walk. Other this is one of my best choice hotel in Turkey.

The owners and staff were among some of the nicest people we met in Instanbul. Their warmth more than made up for some of the other limitations of the room! A special mention to Hidayat for his proactivity and high orientation to customer service. The location is one of the best in Instanbul, a couple of minutes away from the Tram station and the Grand Bazar. Plenty of eateries and groceries nearby. This is meant for families with kids on a budget as well as need to be in proximity of conveniences as well as tourist hubs.

The property is quite nice. The location is fantastic and close from the tram and many attractions. The most beautiful thing about the stay is the welcoming and friendly attitude of the staff. They were very helpful and welcoming. My family and I really felt at home. We’ll ensure to stay there is we have a future trip to Istanbul.

I am sure the place will be much better after the expansion

Super friendly host Sasha who helped a lot from the very beginning suggested to have breakfast when I came early and my room wasn't ready yet. Helped a lot with communication with local services (ordered table in the restaurant and helped with communication to airport transfer)

Breakfast is the same every day, but that wasn't an issue for us as I like such food. A bit noisy on the street till 1AM, but closing the window helped a lot.
