هتل شیرین خان اولد سیتی

Very Good

+ موقعیت مکانی عالی

− A lot of stairs to get to the room.

Great value for the price

+ Great position, fast acces to local transport.

− Nothing to be mentioned.

I truly loved this hotel! It is exactly what you need for a short stay in Istanbul. Highly recommend

+ The location is absolutely perfect! It is right in the city center, surrounded by plenty of cafes and shops. It’s also incredibly convenient for public transport, as the port, metro station, and bus stops are all just a short walk away. The staff members were incredibly welcoming and polite. I arrived a bit early, and they kindly arranged an early check-in for me. On top of that, they upgraded me to a larger room for free, which was a wonderful and highly appreciated surprise! The room itself had everything I needed for a comfortable stay.

− Housekeeping could be a bit better. Although rooms are supposedly cleaned every day, I didn’t really notice much of a difference in mine — for instance, some hair on the bathroom floor was left untouched. Also, please note that the hotel doesn't have an elevator because it’s a historical building. There are 4 floors in total, and our room was on the very top floor. If you have heavy luggage, getting up can be a bit of a challenge.

Old but golden in terms of location.

+ The location of the hotel is simply astounding - you can see the Spice Bazaar right from your window, whereas hotspots for tourists like Eminonu or Sirkeci are just steps away. It's very easy to arrive here by public transport as well as it's only about five minutes walking from the Sirkeci metro and tram stations.

− The rooms are very narrow and the facilities are just enough, and a bit old as well. The price is cheap though, so such standard should be expected.

Excellent

+ Location!

− No breakfast!

Nicest hotel at the best location!

+ This hotel is without any doubt one of the cutest, cleanest, and best hotels in this area. The staff are incredibly welcoming, friendly, and always ready to help. I first stayed here a year ago and loved it immediately. I gladly return whenever I can. A special thanks goes to Erol, who was always present and helpful, and who genuinely tried to make conversations with us even though my Turkish was not very strong. Thanks to his warm attitude and sincere kindness, we truly felt at home. The hotel has a real family atmosphere, which makes the stay even more special.

a great value hotel for the price.

+ Great location, stylish interior, clean – excellent value for the money.

− There is no elevator, so climbing to the top floor was difficult. The water pressure in the shower is weak, but still manageable.

Sirin Han family stay

+ The staff is excellent. They go above and beyond to ensure we got everything we needed, especially Farhat. Location is unbeatable. The room was nice and cosy.

− Shower area was a little too small. Everything else was good!

Excellent

+ Very central, close to all major attractions. The staff was very friendly

− You will definitely hear 5am prayers loud and clear. If that’s an issue for someone- there is no elevator. The rooms are rather small. But it’s an ond house, so….

✨ Simple & Warm: Had a lovely time in Istanbul — definitely planning to return!

+ The staff were incredibly kind and accommodating — they happily changed our room upon request because rooms were available on day 2. The location is fantastic, with everything you need close by, including a train line and plenty of restaurants within walking distance. Truly appreciated the hospitality!

− 1. Please note that there are no elevators on the premises, so individuals with mobility issues may find it challenging. 2. Both rooms we stayed in had a noticeable odor coming from the washroom, possibly due to a sewage issue. this needs to be looked into by the authority 3. Taxis don’t drop you directly at the hotel — they stop at the taxi stand near Yeni Cami (New Mosque) and the main train line. From there, it’s about a 10-minute walk to the hotel. For a more convenient option, consider booking the hotel’s airport transfer service, although it costs €60.
