"This hotel was perfection!! It is so clean, and the room was spotless. The staff is so friendly. The breakfast was 100/10. SO DELICIOUS!!! I already miss this place. The views are phenomenal. I am just so happy with Mest Hotel. The location was super convenient for me because there are so many shops nearby. I got to do a lot of shopping. When I come back, I will definitely be choosing Mest Hotel again and again!"

The Old Bazaar Suites Apartment

Eminönü

"+ I honestly cant say enough good things about my stay at the Old Bazzar Suites. From my moment I arrived, I felt so welcomed. The apartment itself was perfect, new, incredibly clean and tucked away in one of the best possible location. I loved being able to walk to the Grand Bazzar in just a few minutes and having the metro so close by to explore the rest of the city. One of my favourite parts of the trip was actually right next door at the Khave Kulisi, the cafe the host runs. they serve the...

"When I arrived at the hotel, I was greeted with a smile, offered a free drink anded to my room. It continued everyday. The breakfast for me was a good start to the day before going on tours. Spice market and food area s are nearby and transport for bus and T5 tram and ferry a stone thrown away. Staff are always welcoming and couldn't have asked for more. I enjoyed the view from the terrace while drinking my Turkish tea even the rain we visit again. Thank you "

Top Eminönü Hotel Reviews

Hampton by Hilton Istanbul Airport, Arnavutkoy

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly and helpful staff! Cozy rooms, fresh breakfast."

The Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul

10/10 Excellent

"Description of the room on the booking site is inaccurate. First night all I had was the room with view of a big industrial structure. I think that is the stadium even though I had booked a view room. Next day I had to pay €130 to Get a proper view from the room. I think that was unfair. I stayed in room 509 and then subsequently upgraded after paying to 1012"

Elite World Istanbul Taksim

10/10 Excellent

"Our family enjoyed this hotel very much. We booked for 6 nights. We we really liked was great location and wonderful staff like Feride who was so nice to our family. The hotel also has nice swimming pool, sauna, steam room and hammam. Walking distance to Taksim Square, transport link and main shopping street. Breakfast can be improved. Fruits and salads nice and fresh and you can order omelettes. We recommend "

Sultanhan Hotel - Special Class

8/10 Good

"The hotel was super traditional, and our room was spotless. The staff was really helpful and friendly too. Everything, like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, was just a 15 minute walk away. I had issues with my mobility, so I wouldn't stay on the European side. It's very hilly. The tram was quick and easy to use to get to places. Make sure you have enough data during your stay."

Swissotel The Bosphorus Istanbul

10/10 Excellent

"I had an amazing 3-night stay at Swissôtel The Bosphorus in Istanbul. From the moment I arrived, everything exceeded expectations. The room was incredibly comfortable—perfect for relaxing after long days exploring the city. The staff truly made the experience special. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and very helpful, and it was great that almost all of them spoke English, which made everything seamless. A special thank you to Öznur in the Executive Lounge for her outstanding service—she went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Her manager, Emre, was also incredibly friendly and attentive. I also opted for the breakfast package, and it was absolutely worth it. The breakfast selection was fantastic and a great way to start each day. Overall, a top-tier experience. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Istanbul."
