Location was amazing, transportation is easily accessible. The staff are extraordinary 👍

Staff : Esat and Karib were exceptionally helpful and kind, always ready to offer assistance and provide recommendations, even before our arrival. They frequently guided us on routes, transportation, restaurants, and shops. Esat arranged our return taxi with a fixed rate. Room: Just as shown in the photos, equipped with a mini fridge, towels, and a hairdryer. Hotel : There is a stunning night view from the terrace. Be sure to take a little tour. There is always someone in the reception desk (day or night), there is also an elevator and a luggage scale. Hygiene: Impeccable! Simply request room cleaning before heading out. Location: Only a short uphill walk (5-10 minutes) separates the hotel from the Bayazit Tram T1 station. The Grand Bazaar is also right next to the station, where you can find the best currency exchange offices. The shops around the hotel are affordable. There is a café next to the hotel that serves Burek, ATM machines, and restaurants all along the sidewalk at reasonable prices. A clinic is 200 meters away, just in case. A budget grocery store right behind the hotel, just 1 min walk away. The neighborhood is very secure, with no outside noise.

Nothing !

- The location of the hotel is excellent, it is located in the Downtown of Istanbul, very near to Marmara sea you can walk about 10 minutes and Close to Tram station, You can find all what you need, food and services very nearby You need to try the Borek from the guy beside the hotel and try Baklava from Al-Sultan on the other side of the hotel - The Staff was very charm and helpful, Once I asked for anything they help me immediately and always with a smile I'd like to thank them - The Room is clean and tidy and you can ask for cleaning room if you need - Hotel is quiet and very valuable for the money

- Although the room is very comfortable, it is somehow small you can not have a seat and like take your dinner, all your stay will be on the bed But it is still larger than many of the hotels I went to - The Wi-fi was some times week at my room, but was very strong at the hotel overall

Fantastic place to stay, nice to have proper comfy beds instead of sofa beds for a family. Esat was very friendly and helpful. We arrived on a very early flight with two young children and he arranged for us to have a super early check-in free of charge! He also arranged a taxi for us on the way back to the hotel, which was way cheaper than the yellow taxi we caught from the airport. I particularly enjoyed having a cup of tea while watching daily life outside through the balcony. Plus watching a man and his cat do the same on the opposite side of the road lol.

The owner and employees of the hotel are very pleasant and friendly. The hotel has a good location, close to many interesting places, shops and places to eat. We didn't have any problems with transportation, although it is a bit far to Yenikapi metro station (especially if you have luggage). Regarding the room itself. It is small, it was cramped for two people there. The same goes for the bathroom. In our opinion, some furniture and things need to be updated (for example, towels, holders in the bathroom, etc.) + there should be 2 sets of towels for 2 people, not one, as in our case. There are also certain problems with sound insulation. We lived on the second floor and could hear absolutely everything that happened in the hotel lobby. This can be partially remedied with a front door seal (our recommendation to the owner). The bed seemed short to us, although it was comfortable to sleep. There are no problems with cleanliness, 10+ for that. Overall we enjoyed our stay at the hotel, but in our opinion there is still a lot that could be improved. Good luck in that!

Read above!

Hotel staff, and especially the owner, is very nice and accommodating. Also, the location is very good. The atmosphere of the street is authentic. Restaurants around are great and not so expensive, I can recommend.

Internet is bad. Wi-fi signal is strong but the link capacity is quite limited. Sometimes it is not usable even for Facetime calls. Also, the look from my window was quite ugly, but this heavily depends on the room you get.

Location is great for someone that likes a bit of a walk, the two grand Mosques are 20 minutes walk away. The seaside is also 15ish minutes away. Also close to the Laleli shopping centers. Really good location with restaurants around it, Place was clean and smelled nice.

It's a tad bit on the smaller side of size, me being a taller person and bulkier had some issues moving around but for the price its not even a bother.

We stayed at Santefe Hotel for 12 nights. We had a small room on the top floor at the back of the hotel, which was quiet and private, and our room was very clean and nicely decorated. The staff were really professional and friendly, and they made sure we had everything we needed. Esat was especially kind and helpful, promptly replying to messages and communicating with us throughout our stay. The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of many of the places we wanted to see. We would stay here again if traveling to Istanbul.

Very good location, close to the main attractions, surrounded by shops, cafes, restaurants. The room was clean and comfy for one person, although it is tiny. The owner and the receptionist are very friendly, they take good care of the guests. Safe place for solo female travellers. Highly recommended.

I stayed this week at this hotel and I highly recommend it. Simply choosing to stay here is playing safe. Clean rooms, really quiet so you can rest well, good position in the old city, the stuff is really kind and always on your disposal.

To be honest there’s nothing I can say I didn’t like.
