Santefe Hotel

Small room, nice staff, one outlet to charge and we never found a tv remote so the tv never turned off. It was stuck on Italian tv so I am pretty sure we might be fluent in Italian now. There was mold in the bathroom but the towels were nice. To be honest, we only spent 3 of the 7 nights there because it was so cheap we decided to store our luggage there while we went to Barcelona for 4 nights and it was better and less expensive to leave it there than pay to haul it around. The terrace was not nice, the view was good but the terrace looked like a run down storage area. The cafe right down stairs was nice and convenient but i think the hotel is also a meeting place for tours because sometimes the lobby was extremely crowded. I don’t understand why the ratings and reviews were so high because it was probably the least nice place we have ever stayed. Again, if it matters to you, the hotel staff was very helpful.

Small room but very clean Hallway floors equipped with light saver sensor Turns on and off alot at night So dark unless u make noise or walk I don’t understand this concept to leave hallways so dark to save electricity bill Customers comfort are matters specially for children

Terrible motel like hotel. Do not go if you are expecting a smoke fee room. It smells like a dirty old motel. And the hallways and stairs are extremely dangerous- no light until you are half way down the dangerous no railed twirled stairs

We visited Istanbul with our kids and had an excellent stay. The room was cleaned perfectly every day, and the housekeeping staff were very kind and attentive. The hotel’s transfer service was safe, punctual, and very comfortable for our family. But most importantly, we want to give special thanks to Front Desk Manager Yiğit Bey. He was exceptionally professional, friendly, and always ready to help. His assistance truly made our family stay much more comfortable. Thank you to the entire team for providing such wonderful hospitality.

It was a very dirty and terrible hotel, more like a hostel than a hotel. The bed sheets were also very dirty. I do not recommend it to anyone.

The room was smelling to smoke, that was my issue..

We had a great stay here! Staff were friendly, was in a good location to all the great places to see, the room was incredibly clean! Yes the room was on the smaller side but it was comfortable and cosy. Would 100% stay here again!

Clean and tidy room, staff was very helpful 24/7. Location of santefe hotel is hard to beat, it is walking distance to grand bazar about 12 minutes, blue mosque about 20 min and fish market 12 minutes walk away. Thanks visit I sta

The hotel is falling apart with mould everywhere, would never stay there again

Dear Santefe Hotel I recently stayed at your hotel from October 21st to November 7th, and I wanted to share my experience. Unfortunately, we encountered several issues during our stay. We found cockroaches in the room, and when my partner joined me on October 27th, we were unexpectedly charged again for her stay, despite having already paid for the double bed accommodation. Additionally, the shower head was not working properly, and overall, we were not satisfied with the room quality. Because of these issues, we decided to leave earlier than planned, on November 7th, instead of staying until November 16th. We kindly request compensation for the inconveniences we faced. On a positive note, I would like to mention that I was very happy with the receptionist, who provided excellent hospitality and made us feel welcome. Thank you for your understanding, and I look forward to your response. Best regards, Mirwais Navid

I had an excellent stay at this hotel. The rooms at Santefee Hotel were very clean, very comfortable beds. Mr. Esat and the staff were very kind and welcoming. The location of the hotel is very good, it is close to the Grand Bazaar and the tourist area. I strongly recommend this tutor hotel to people who want to visit Istanbul. Thank you!

Customer service was good and very friendly and helpful. Location is good and everything is near but be ready to walk lot of uphills. Tram and subway are nearby. Hotel is not five star but be open minded. Yes it might need lot of updates but still we don’t travel to spend our holiday at hotel. Unfortunately bed is not suitable to long persons. And check that 3 person room is really having 3 beds. Double bed room (what they say is room for 3) doesn’t have enough space to extra beds and bed size is too small even have a toddler in same bed. Also if your room is on street side traffic sounds can be very loud.

Eigentlich ist das Hotel soweit ganz gut für gesunde Menschen ist die Gegend perfekt sehr viele Sehenswürdigkeiten in der Nähe das Hotel ist passabel sauber ordentlich allerdings sehr winzig einige Zimmer haben Balkon andere wieder nicht manche reichen für zwei Nächte zum Schlafen andere Zimmer sind größer im Grunde genommen ist es okay allerdings habe ich mich falsch entschieden da ich schwerbehindert bin

The place was clean and owner very nice.Unfortunately the room was tiny. Never saw such a room.

The room was smelling to smoke, that was my issue..

Super noisy

Quarto um pouco apertado e sem cama de casal, mas no geral é um bom hotel e com uma boa localização. Fomos bem atendidos pelos recepcionistas.

I loved my stay in this small but cozy hotel in Istanbul. The owner and the staff are so kind and will help you with everything you need. The room was clean, the hotel is in a central area where everything is a 15-20 min walk; there are many restaurants and small shops to buy cheap; location is excellent. Carib who works at front desk is extremely helpful and will do his best to make your stay pleasant; he can arrange airport transfert and will give you advice. If i ever come back to Istanbul i will stay here again.

It was very nice service from the receptionist CARIB or GARIB. He helped us checking in and get the room before check in hours as we reached earlier. Hotel room was nice and tidy . Enough towels were there and got room service when we asked for it. There was small issue in the toilet but this receptionist guy fixed it instantly. Later on our check out he came on the street to help us negotiate with TAXI as taxis are often do cheat there. Thank you so much

The staff were amazing always taking care of me they made sure I was safe and when I got into a taxi I didn't get ripped off by the taxi drivers ! Very good hotel with the simple things you need thanks for having me I'll see you again -Heidi DUDZIANIEC CANADA

The door only locks if you remove your hotel key from the slot. This means your lights, chargers, AC - all electricity must be off if you want to sleep with a locked door. This is ridiculous. They don't even have proper manners or even a bottle of water on them.

I stayed at this hotel for a month and enjoyed it. The hotel is nice, clean, and comfortable. The staff is very kind. Once I needed help scanning and printing a document for work, and the person at the front desk was able to assist me. The front desk people go out of their way to make sure you have a good stay and give great recommendations. The hotel has a lot of restaurants, cafes, markets, and shoppes along the street and is only 10-15 minutes walking from the Grand Bazaar, closer via taxi/ Uber. The food place on the corner is 24/7, which is wonderful if you’re a night person like me. Also, easy access to the trains and ferries to get to the other parts of Istanbul. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone travelling to Istanbul!

Front desk manager yigit are very polite and helpful. We want to thank him for everything during our stay in santefe . We would recommend friends to stay in this hotel.

Für jemanden der gut und günstig wohnen möchte ideal. Preis - Leistung 100 % Alles in die Jahre gekommen, aber O.K. Sehr zentral, wir waren nur zu Fuß unterwegs. Jede Menge Geschäfte in der Nähe und auch Sehenswürdigkeiten. Alle sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wenn wir wieder nach Istanbul reisen, dann werden wir wieder dort übernachten.

Very good personal. Hygin was also good. 7-10 min from Aya Sophia and 4-6 min from grand bazar .

Clean comfortable rooms. Wonderful, friendly, and kind staff. Great location in the centre of everything, walking distance to many places, easy access to trains and ferrys that go to other parts of Istanbul

Öncelikle resepsiyondaki beyfendi oldukça ilgiliydi. Otel Sultanahmet meydanında yürüme mesafesinde. Temizlik gayet iyiydi. Kısaca gayet memnun kaldık. Teşekkürler.

The hotel is very centrally located. Short distance to everything, restaurant, cafe, grocery store and everything. Very nice staff, clean and nice.

It was accessible to public transportation and very near historical must-see places in iİstanbul. Management is very friendly.

Très bon séjour. Hôtel à proximité de restaurants, snacks et boulangeries. À 10 minutes du grand Bazaar ou de la station de tramway 1. Superbe accueil ! Très propre. La chambre pour 3 est bien agencée. Disponibilité, courtoisie et gentillesse sont les qualités à retenir de ce séjour. Un grand merci au propriétaire et au gardien de nuit. Je recommande !

Very close the touristic place,many restaurants around. Friendly hotel stuff.

I had a wonderful stay at Santefe Hotel in Istanbul! From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming, attentive, and always ready to help with anything I needed. The hotel has a warm and cozy atmosphere, making it feel like a true home away from home. The rooms were very clean, well-maintained, and comfortable, with everything I needed for a relaxing stay. I especially appreciated the attention to detail in both the décor and the amenities. The location is also excellent—close to many key attractions, restaurants, and public transport, making it easy to explore the city.

La habitación estaba muy bien tenia una linda vista desde la ventana, lo mejor es su ubicación queda casi al frente de una calle que te lleva directo al gran bazar, al rededor encontraran muchos restaurantes y tiendas de souvenir mas económicos que los que encuentras en el gran bazar, el personal muy amables nos recibió el dueño del hotel quien muy amablemente nos ayudo a reservar un tour por el Bósforo.
