Excellent location of the hotel for exploring the main attractions within walking distance and relaxing holidays. There is a tram stop nearby, and a metro station a little further away. The standard 2-bed room is exactly as classic as in the photo, and met our expectations. We cleaned very well, we put a bottle of water on each guest every day, and in the early days we replenished the Turkish delight bowl. The inside of the hotel is very beautiful, clean, cozy, homely and quiet, a breakfast restaurant with pleasant music, panoramic windows that overlook a small pedestrian street with shops that nestle under the wall of Gulhane Park. Therefore, the park will be visible from the rooms on the top floor of the hotel. Also on the -1/-2 floors there are small training rooms, a sauna and a swimming pool with a very beautiful and spacious hammam, massage rooms. Since we went in February, I went there every day, which I am very happy about. By the way, you can get bathrobes there, towels and capes too. I can't say I'm thrilled with breakfast, it could have been better, tastier or something, but of course there is plenty to choose from. I would also like to mention the bonuses in the form of guided tours and a Turkish cuisine master class. We were at the MC and cooked three dishes of Turkish cuisine together with the chef, his assistant and the hotel manager, who translated into English. After the MK, they served them beautifully upstairs in the restaurant, it was wonderful and delicious. The Wi-Fi worked perfectly, for whom it matters - there are no normal TV channels, and there are no English-language news channels either.
I visited Istanbul and stayed at this hotel in November 2024. I liked everything. The location is gorgeous. All major attractions are within walking distance. The staff is friendly. They always try to help. The room is clean. Everything is working. There is a sauna and a swimming pool. Although they are not big, but everything is very decent. There are also spa services, but I have not visited them. The breakfasts are monotonous, but this is normal for a city hotel. I've been to many parts of Turkey before. It was all a beach vacation. I visited Istanbul for the first time. The impressions are grandiose. Don't listen to bloggers who shout on every corner that horror is a nightmare, everything is expensive. Yes, it's not cheap. But aren't prices constantly rising in Russia? Istanbul is a fabulous city. The story, the story. It takes your breath away from this beauty and skill of people who lived several centuries ago. I will definitely return to Istanbul and the Sirkesi Hotel.
Nice hotel. It is located within walking distance from the attractions. The street is not particularly noisy, but there are no shops or cafes nearby. The staff is friendly. The breakfasts are decent, but the choice is not rich. The hotel has a hammam, sauna and swimming pool. It's free. The rooms are clean and cleaned regularly. There is no perfect silence. Air conditioning on one side, neighbors on the other. There is no smell from the cafes. The hotel has an elevator. You can leave your luggage before check-in or check-out.
It's a little expensive, but there's no particularly cheap housing in this part of Istanbul. There is no beautiful view of the city from the windows.
A small, cozy hotel in the heart of Istanbul. Close to all the cool attractions. It's a little away from the tram tracks, so it's very quiet. Breakfasts for every taste, pleasant and courteous staff. In general, very good accommodation in this hotel.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome. Clean, the breakfast buffet is quite decent. The location for the first acquaintance is very convenient. There is a tram nearby in the old town. On the ground floor there is a sauna, a hammam and a swimming pool. There is a bar. There is a kettle and tea and coffee in the room.
Great hotel, very cozy, good breakfasts, wonderful and friendly staff. The location is 5 plus , all the sights are nearby, you can walk. I really liked the hotel, I recommend it.
A lovely, cozy, clean hotel. The location is perfect. The staff is friendly and courteous. The rooms were cleaned regularly, towels and bed linen were changed frequently. The beds and pillows are comfortable. Bottled water was replenished every day.
The breakfast (buffet) is modest, but we were satisfied, we were not hungry.
Our Windows overlooked the courtyard, the view was not very good, but we did not sit in the room. It is very audible when the windows are open, when various refrigeration units were working. We were in September, we slept with the windows closed, we were fine, relatively quiet.
The overall impression of the hotel is pleasant.
The rooms are a little old and the breakfasts are simple, but the location is very good!
A couple of minutes and all the main sights of the old town are in front of you!
The entrance to the park is very close..you leave the hotel-shops, restaurants for every taste))
The hotel is very good, the service is sincere and at the same time at the highest level, perfect cleanliness, delicious breakfasts, an additional bonus snack from 15 to 17 - tea and Turkish bagels
The location is great, in the center.
The breakfasts are normal, not like on the coast, it doesn't really matter to me.
Some rooms are very compact. There is a possibility to sit on the roof.
I really liked the hotel. Small, cozy, clean. It is located on a pedestrian street, so it is quiet. At the same time, the entrance to the park is two steps away. One minute to the tram. Five minutes to the stop of Marmaray. The location is very convenient. The breakfasts are perfect. There is not much choice, there is something new every day, and everything is very tasty. Lots of fruits. There are no coffee machines, they will offer filter coffee. Cool small pool and hammam. It's always been the two of us there, so it's just perfect! Very comfortable mattresses. Of the disappointed expectations, only the roof terrace. I thought there would be a restaurant or a bar, but it's more like a place for a smoke break. Several tables, ashtrays. Everything is clean, the view is cool. But it was too lazy to bring drinks there. That's why they didn't sit on the roof. And I would especially like to mention the staff. Everyone is friendly and ready to help. So I recommend the hotel!
Very comfortable, cozy, courteous staff, gorgeous gym, hammam, swimming pool, massage therapist does a massage very well. One disadvantage, they didn't give you any toothpaste in the room :)
Nice, cozy hotel on a busy shopping street. From the window you can see part of the fortress wall.
The hotel has a sauna, hammam and a small swimming pool.
The location of the hotel couldn't be better!
A number of attractions are within walking distance. The tram stop is a 1-minute walk from the hotel. The metro is 10 minutes away. It is a leisurely 15-minute walk to the pier of the river trams and the T5 tram. The hotel itself is cozy, with good breakfasts. There is a swimming pool and a sauna (open on schedule). The room is clean and cozy, room cleaning for 5+. Polite staff. I recommend the hotel! I was on vacation with my family from 03/23/2024 to 03/27/2024.
The hotel has only good impressions. The breakfasts are very hearty, always fruits, nuts, dried fruits, jam, honey. Cleaning and changing of towels every day, water and coffee/tea were replenished daily. The staff is very attentive and helpful. Very well located, close to all the sights, tram stop. There is a great view of Gulhane Park from the terrace.
I would love to come back again.
I really liked it. Well, the situation is not new anymore. If this is important to you, then pay attention. But in general... the location is gorgeous. Everything is nearby, Look at the map, well, just everything))
There are a lot of birds in the park opposite. Parrots, storks (or herons, I still didn't understand). Seagulls and just sparrows and crows. The air .... The cries of birds.... If you arrive in April, there will be a sea of tulips. Well, it's a fairy tale! The staff is very helpful and friendly. I won't say about the breakfasts, somehow I didn't get there. Others will tell you this. I liked. I recommend it!
A decent hotel. Clean, tidy, good breakfast.
Tea is served in the lobby during the day.
There is a hammam and a small pool, but it is unclear how to visit it: bathrobes are not provided by the hotel
A wonderful hotel near Gulhane Park, within walking distance of Topkapi Palace, Sofia, Sultanahmet Square and a bunch of other attractions. Excellent transport accessibility: 50 meters - tram, 5 minutes - descent to Marmaray, a little further - metro, 10-15 minutes (depending on the step) - Eminenyu embankment with steamboats to all parts of Istanbul. A cozy, warm room, a very comfortable bed, helpful staff (speaks English), daily cleaning and delicious breakfasts. They are not looking for good, so if we go to Istanbul again, we will not choose a hotel. We found him!
A magnificent hotel!
Good location, all the main attractions and popular restaurants are within walking distance.
The staff is polite, they responded to all requests immediately. The repair is good, the cleaning is thorough.
We were in the coldest days when there were the heaviest snowfalls in Turkey. The room was very warm.
The sauna is not bad, but the hammam has always been cold. The central stone was barely warm and warmed up only on one side.
On the downside, there were no bathrobes in the room. It would be more convenient to visit the spa with them.
A very cozy hotel. It is located in the historical center, within walking distance from all attractions, next
to Gulhane Park and at the same time in a quiet alley, tram stop around the corner. The breakfasts are good, they never left hungry. The staff is friendly. The hotel has a sauna, a hammam (included in the price), although we never went out, because we came to the hotel late and fell off our feet. I would love to stay there again if another trip to Istanbul happens.
A very cozy hotel in the very historical center. You can walk to any place of interest, there is a tram station nearby to get to where it is difficult to reach. The breakfasts are good
Very good hotel, convenient location, quiet historical center of Istanbul, beautiful view of Gulhane Park, St. Sophia 10 min. walk,
Hippodrome square, Blue Mosque, 5-10 min., Galatsky Bridge 25-30 min., near tram stop, metro, shops, restaurants. The hotel is clean, the staff is attentive and responsive, the rooms are as comfortable as possible. The breakfasts are excellent, varied, hot, fruits, juices, buffet. They decorated it so beautifully for Christmas! It is very cozy at the reception and in the lobby! Let's come back here again!
The hotel is good. Cleaning is daily, the pool is small, the sauna and hammam are a little weak for us, but it's still better when there is. The transfer dropped us off in the wrong place, it was a big problem to find a hotel, good people helped us well. The location of the hotel is very convenient-all the sights are within walking distance.

A "weak" breakfast, a great location with access to a quiet street, a rather cozy room with a balcony.
A very comfortable hotel in the center and at the same time quiet, opposite the park. The hotels are clean, cleaned every day, the breakfasts are good, the staff is friendly.
The sign at the hotel is nondescript, it is not easy to find. And not every taxi driver knows how to drive up to the door - a pedestrian zone. Overall, it's not bad
The only advantages are the location and friendly staff. The hotel is old, the renovation is old, the rooms are small, the breakfast is boring and tasteless
I join the positive reviews about the hotel, if I come to Istanbul again, I will definitely stay there

An inexpensive hotel, but it does not pull for 4 *.
In the room:
- the floors are creaking
- windows don't close
- the faucet and the bathtub are leaking
- the heated towel rail does not work
Very poor breakfasts and a small pool/sauna
