I had a wonderful stay at Santefe Hotel in Istanbul! From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming, attentive, and always ready to help with anything I needed. The hotel has a warm and cozy atmosphere, making it feel like a true home away from home. The rooms were very clean, well-maintained, and comfortable, with everything I needed for a relaxing stay. I especially appreciated the attention to detail in both the décor and the amenities. The location is also excellent—close to many key attractions, restaurants, and public transport, making it easy to explore the city.

Nice hotel, friendly staff, close to everything

I stayed at this hotel for a month and enjoyed it. The hotel is nice, clean, and comfortable. The staff is very kind. Once I needed help scanning and printing a document for work, and the person at the front desk was able to assist me. The front desk people go out of their way to make sure you have a good stay and give great recommendations. The hotel has a lot of restaurants, cafes, markets, and shoppes along the street and is only 10-15 minutes walking from the Grand Bazaar, closer via taxi/ Uber. The food place on the corner is 24/7, which is wonderful if you’re a night person like me. Also, easy access to the trains and ferries to get to the other parts of Istanbul. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone travelling to Istanbul!

Terrible motel like hotel. Do not go if you are expecting a smoke fee room. It smells like a dirty old motel. And the hallways and stairs are extremely dangerous- no light until you are half way down the dangerous no railed twirled stairs

I would strongly recommend the Santefe Hotel. The value is unbeatable but it is also supported by N extremely friendly staff. The room is small but adequate for 2 people who spend most of their time outside visiting or sleeping. The baths are modern and big enough for 2 at the same time. They are many great restaurants and attractions around and it is only a $15 cab ride to almost anywhere. Book there and save your money for tours on the bay of Istanbul. I give the Santefe Hotel a 5 star rating without hesitation.

The door only locks if you remove your hotel key from the slot. This means your lights, chargers, AC - all electricity must be off if you want to sleep with a locked door. This is ridiculous. They don't even have proper manners or even a bottle of water on them.

Lovely hosting and good location

Customer service was good and very friendly and helpful. Location is good and everything is near but be ready to walk lot of uphills. Tram and subway are nearby. Hotel is not five star but be open minded. Yes it might need lot of updates but still we don’t travel to spend our holiday at hotel. Unfortunately bed is not suitable to long persons. And check that 3 person room is really having 3 beds. Double bed room (what they say is room for 3) doesn’t have enough space to extra beds and bed size is too small even have a toddler in same bed. Also if your room is on street side traffic sounds can be very loud.
