Mevlana Hotel

Great hotel, great location, breakfasts (buffet) with a view of the Bosphorus, friendly staff, daily cleaning. Yes, some things in the room are "tired", but these are such trifles in the general background. We lived on the 4th floor with a view of the city and even the Blue Mosque. We arrived at the end of October, the weather was comfortable, there are definitely no complaints about the hotel.

Close to the attractions, but the room equipment and facilities are old and the service is average

Located between the Blue Mosque and the embankment (5 minutes in each direction) - that is, the main attractions are within walking distance and you can enjoy a walk along the sea. The walk to the tram takes 13-15 minutes, keep this in mind if you plan to visit other areas - this is the most convenient way to move around Istanbul. There is indeed a terrace overlooking the sea and the domes of the Blue Mosque. It's very nice to have breakfast. About breakfasts: even if you don’t eat Turkish fried and spicy breakfast, you can have a normal breakfast: omelet, cheeses, cornflakes with yogurt, cucumbers, tomatoes, fruits, cookies. I would especially like to note the nut sauce - it’s a special feature, it’s very pleasing. The coffee could have been better, of course. “Juice” is a terrible chemistry. You can also have dinner here, but the prices are the same as in the rest of Sultanahmet and not everything that is stated in the menu and wine list is available. Important: within a 5-minute walk there is a cafe and restaurant (differing in the presence or absence of alcohol) with a view of the sea and reasonable prices (better than in the entire area). Cozy rooms in soothing colors. New bed linen (at least I had). They cleaned and supplied water every day (although they put up a sign). Bumblebee gels are available. The guys are calm, self-possessed, and friendly. The comrade who speaks Russian let us down a little - as if he was always a little irritated. Attention ! Something that is not on booking sites: the window of the “standard” room opens into a gloomy well about 2x2 meters with the same window from another room opposite; with all that it implies. Quite noisy outdoor air conditioning units are installed in the same well. Yes, and it smells of something not very pleasant. I was not aware of such a “surprise”. This is a clear flaw in Trip.com - hotels should not be allowed to hide such important information. Overall: clean, cozy, in the heart of Istanbul and breakfasts overlooking the sea.

Great location near Hagia Sophia! ! 3-5 minutes walk to Blue Mosque Sophia The front desk staff is very friendly and can arrange taxis for you. You can overlook the seaside from the breakfast venue, and it is very fantastic with birds coming to the side of the table. The room was a little disappointing, the air conditioner did not work well, and the shower could not be fixed. But overall it was a good hotel, Sao
