What guests think

Across recent reviews of Hotel Sapphire, travellers praise the central, walkable location and exceptionally friendly staff, while feedback on the property’s condition is mixed, with several noting dated areas and occasional maintenance issues that affected comfort for some.

Rooms are often described as clean and comfortable, but a few reports cite mold, worn carpets, or plumbing problems. Breakfast is frequently regarded as good to very good, though a couple guests wanted more sweet options or found it average. The area can be lively and noisy at night, and amenities like the pool were not always available; a few guests were relocated during renovations. Expect solid value with trade-offs around modernity.

Pros- nice location, room was clean, breakfast was decent, stuff helpful. Cons- hotel itself is very outdated. Big part of the Lobby room is dark and filled with stuff. Hotel has an access to the roof with an incredible view, but it is not in use for anything. Needed an iron, got it only on the second day. Water in the shower was not draining. And it is on the street with restaurants, so every night it was very laud from outside till 1-2am. I probably won’t stay here again unless there will be some renovations.

One draw back is the lack of taxi service right in front of building. Had to go half block away to catch a taxi.

The hotel is very central and within walking distance to the tram, shopping and restaurants. The front desk is extremely helpful and friendly. Breakfast was also good. Hotel, though, needs an upgrade with new carpets and room decor as well as reception area. Else a wonderful stay at the hotel.

Location is great - walking distance to main attractions. The hotel itself is incredibly dated and is in serious need of being renovated. Anyone with asthma or a dust allergy would struggle. The hotel staff are nice and helpful- no complaints there. It's a shame, as location and staff were great. However based on the hotel itself i would not recommend.

Absolutely terrible experience. The room was full of mold and musty wooden smell. It triggered my Asthma. Very small and congested room. The bathroom was not so clean. Had trouble with hot and cold shower. The breakfast was below average for the price. The only positive thing is that it's 7 minutes walk from Sirkeci Marmaray station. I stayed there for only one night

L'hotel è a due passi dalle principali attrazioni, in zona pedonale piena di ristoranti e minimarket. Per questo c'è un po' di rumore, ma non di traffico. La struttura nelle parti comuni, è vetusta e trascurata avrebbe bisogno di manutenzione urgente. Le stanze sono sufficientemente pulite e i letti comodi con buona dotazione. La colazione discreta. Il personale è molto gentile e disponibile.

Really pretty bad. We had reasonable expectations but this was disgusting. I don't know for sure but I think they may have been overbooked and put us in a room under construction. The bathroom was repulsive. Black mold everywhere. We slept there the first night and when we went to shower the water was pouring directly out on the floor. We called the front desk and they said they would give us a new room later. But we wanted to shower before heading out. They found a room someone had checked out of and we stayed there for the next night. It was an updated room but far from luxury. A little cleaner but I would NOT stay there again.

Me gustó en general mi estancia el hotel, todo el personal fue super amable, atento y amigable. Excelente servicio. El desayuno estaba bien, bastante variado para diferentes gustos, agradezco que tenían bastantes opciones de verdura. La ubicación no podría ser mejor, en una zona que queda a pie de los lugares imperdibles de Estambul, así como del transporte público, además de muchas tiendas y restaurantes, llegué una vez en la madrugada y se sentía bien iluminado y seguro. Los cons serían que las instalaciones del hotel son viejas, el aire acondicionado, lo muebles, las paredes, las alfombras, a todo le falta una renovadita, pero a mí no me molestó ese aspecto. También, por lo mismo que hay muchos restaurantes es una zona un poco ruidosa, yo personalmente tengo el sueño muy pesado y pude dormir perfecto, aunque podría ser un problema para otras personas.

Meningen var at, skulle være i Sapphire hotel men de flyttede os til Maywood hotel på grund fuld renovering. I Maywood hotel var maden rigtig gamelt, og råddnet der var et rådene æg, og ikke nok mad. Vandet smagte af benzin og der var rester på tallerknerne. Vi har gentagene gange klaget til lederen, som er den samme leder i Sapphire hotel, men han ikke ændret noget, og ville ikke tage imod vores feedback. Vores ferie er ødelagt.
