Spinel Hotel - Old City

Can't count how many times I have stayed here. Years pass but my appreciation for this place is eternal. Everybody is ready to help, the guys at the reception can help with any arrangements, we enjoyed our check-in earlier in the morning. Location of the hotel is perfect, especially if you come to İstanbul for the first time or wanna stay close to central historical square. But... the most incredible thing that makes me choose this hotel again and again is the tastiest homemade breakfast ever. Thus, a lot of thanks to the whole hotel crew and especially to Yeliz hanım and her tasty meals that were giving us the energy for the whole day of sightseeing around 🤗

I had an absolutely fantastic stay at the hotel, largely thanks to the incredible staff. They were not only friendly but also exceptionally warm, attentive, and eager to assist with any request. Efe, Rejib, and possibly Ahmed (though I may have forgotten the exact name) stood out as some of the kindest and most approachable individuals I’ve encountered. They were always smiling, ready to help, and went above and beyond to ensure that guests felt welcome and well taken care of. The hotel itself was spotless, and the location was ideal for sightseeing, with iconic landmarks like Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque just a short distance away. For shopping, I highly recommend exploring Eminonu instead of the Grand Bazaar. It's much cheaper for buying gifts, food, and all kinds of items you might want to take home from your trip. Everything here is affordable, making it a great spot for those looking to pick up souvenirs. The Bosphorus tour was also easily arranged for a very reasonable 20 euros through the hotel staff. For those booking a room, I’d recommend reviewing the room photos beforehand, as I found my room to be a bit smaller than expected, though this was a minor detail. Overall, the warmth and professionalism of the staff made my stay unforgettable!

Room 504 has an amazing view of the harbor. Breakfast was simple, but tasty and unique. The staff was simply amazing and friendly. They booked anything we needed and took payment for everything.

Staff was so friendly and accommodating, they helped us with transportation, organized everything for us. We were a big family of 13 they were very patient with us, and so accommodating that we felt like home. Hotel is 6 minutes from main attraction and one block from the street that has all bars restaurants and shops open all night long

Location of the hotel is excellent. The staff is ready to help all the time. Parking in front of the hotel is available, too. Breakfast is nice and view from the terrace is amaizing. We would like to give a special greeting to Efe (both of them) from reception and the head chef in the kitchen.
