Top Istanbul University Hotel Reviews

Sultanhan Hotel - Special Class

8/10 Good

"Super clean Very friendly and helpful staff Amazing location (Few minutes walk to both Hagia Sofia and the Blue Mosque). Only minor thing is it looks older in reality than how it looks in the photos. If you are looking for convenience and cleanness, book it with a heart beat."

The Peninsula Istanbul

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is absolutely stunning and the location is perfect. Staff were very friendly and accommodating for our dietary needs. The suite where we stayed was amazing, very clean and with lots of amenities. Also, had a great view of Hagia Sophia and a beautiful sunrise."

Hotel Arcadia Blue Istanbul

10/10 Excellent

"I cannot see myself going back to Istanbul and not staying back at this hotel. The location was perfect, just walking distance to the Blue Mosque. The breakfast was very good and it has plenty of choices. Rooms were clean and overall the hotel was well maintained. The staff was outstanding. Specially Batuhan and Cineyt (forgive me if I misspelled your name). They were very helpful arranging tours. Highly recommend this hotel."

Emerald Mansion Hotel – Special Class

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms are snug Location great for seeing major attractions Only negative is the lighting and lack of a full length mirror...kind of helpful to have for getting dressed Shout out to Moufassa the doorman who brought us tea after a long day"

Lenus Hagia Sophia Hotel

8/10 Good

"My room was next to lift shaft so was very noisy City view was the back of other buildings and courtyards full of rubbish"

Four - G Hotel Premium

8/10 Good

"Clean room. Room 622 was very good. Quite since it didn’t face the street. Breakfast was good. The lady who was working today was very nice. Front desk people were nice. Location was superb going to different attractions. Overall I liked my stay here."

GLK PREMIER Sea Mansion Suites & Spa - Special Class

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location, great staff and good facilities. Airport shuttle worked well. All in all excellent hotel."

Otel Bergama

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean with a fridge and kettle. The only small issue there was only a draw but no wardrobe which for a single person wasn’t an issue but 2 people may struggle. the bathroom was a small wet room so little extra caution needed when showering that some may have an issue with. These are just points but didn’t affect me or my stay. Staff friendly and happy to help. Would stay again at this place as good value and close to a lot of local things with a selection of food close by. The area felt safe and was clean despite being busy."

The Lola Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic stay at this hotel in Istanbul. The location was excellent, making it easy to explore the city’s main attractions, restaurants, and shops. The staff were incredibly welcoming, professional, and always willing to help with any questions or requests. Our room was spotless, comfortable, and well-appointed, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The breakfast was delicious, offering a great variety of fresh local and international options each morning. What really stood out was the outstanding hospitality. The team went above and beyond to make us feel at home and ensure our visit was enjoyable from start to finish. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Istanbul and would happily stay here again on my next trip. Thank you for a wonderful experience!"
