My stay at this Senatus Hotel was a truly memorable experience. It offered a perfect blend of historical charm, modern comfort, exceptional service, and an unparalleled location for exploring Istanbul's most significant sights. If you are seeking an authentic and intimate stay in the heart of the old city, away from the hustle and bustle of larger hotels, I wholeheartedly recommend this gem. It provided a wonderful home base for my explorations and contributed significantly to my positive experience of Istanbul.
The hotel is located 3-5 minutes from the main attractions of Sultanahmet district, it is very convenient to walk to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Hurrem Hamam, to the tram stop!
The hotel is clean enough, the room was cleaned daily, the breakfasts were good, they were not repeated in 5 days!
When booking, we were counting on a sauna, but upon arrival we were told that it was not there, and it has been for a long time ... although there are photos on the websites! We wanted to go up to the roof terrace, but it turned out that it was also impossible, as it turned out to be rooms with access to the roof …
The hotel has a cafe with Russian-speaking staff, you can have a nice meal.
The hotel is completely suitable for those who come only to get enough sleep, and the rest of the time they walk around the city in search of interesting places!
2024 is located in the very center of the old city, a block from Hagia Sophia, with access to the street of restaurants. The rooms are clean, spacious enough, the Windows overlook the other side - so it's not noisy to sleep! Quite a varied breakfast and a very nice receptionist!
Of the cons: 1) when checking in a large company, one of us was booked into a nearby hotel, there were not enough rooms available, the next day the room was unexpectedly found!!!
2) unexpected bathroom solution: frosted glass separates it from the bedroom, if you spend the night not with a romantic couple, but with a colleague, then you feel shy)
