The Primero Hotel was exceptional. We enjoyed our stay especially the included breakfast which was a Turkish breakfast buffet which was amazing with a wide selection of choices. The hotel room and shower were very nice with new modern features and the cleanliness level was high. It was walking distance to the tram and sites like the Grand Bazaar.

Booked this last minute for a 1 day layover in Istanbul. I was very impressed with the hospitality of the hotel. I was greeted as soon as I arrived and offered refreshments. I was also given a map to help orient me with directions on how to see the sights which were close by. Rooms were very clean and updated. I was leaving too early for breakfast though they still offered to have something for me. I had to leave before 5 AM next day but someone was in the hotel lobby to assist me. They had arranged airport shuttle which also arrived promptly (I was a little worried about this part since airport is so far but thankfully it was a seamless process).

El colchón de la cama estaba levantado en el medio y hundido hacia un costado, lo cual lo hacía muy pero muy incómodo. Cuando llegaba al cuarto, había mucho olor a desague de aguas sucias proveniente del baño. La TV no funcionaba. Intenté usar el termo de agua caliente para hacer café, pero cada vez que lo hacía saltaba la térmica del tablero de electricidad.

The staff were very welcoming and they were extremely helpful. The room was clean but lacked storage space, maybe okay for an overnight stay but not for 6 nights. We did notice that the room next to ours was bigger, albeit this was the day before we left or we would have asked to change. The hotel has good location for all the tourist attractions and there a few restaurants nearby.

Location: The hotel is in great location. Its walking distance from many historical places. Lots of restaurants and other eating places nearby to choose from. Staff: Helpful and accommodating staff I must say. Rooms: We had a superior room but we felt it was small, with a double bed there was hardly any room to move. It was also a bit noisy at night. We could hear people taking in neighboring rooms and traffic noise outside which was a little annoying while trying to sleep.

Great option in Sultanahmet, close to the main places in the Old City - near to the Grand Bazar and 10 minutes walking distance from Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia and the Cisterns. The hotel staff is very helpful and always willing to help, the room was clean, the bed is very comfortable, good shower. Breakfast is well served and varied, although Turkish influence predominates. I really liked the experience and would stay there again!

My 5-year and I spent 24 hours in Istanbul and had the pleasure to stay at Primero Hotel. Even though the reviews were excellent, we were still pleasantly surprised by the quality, comfort and good looks of this boutique hotel. Our bed was super comfy and the room just smelled so nice, and our bathroom was well appointed with plush towels. Overall a very nice, modern hip feel. The breakfast was incredible, what a spread! It was a mix of Turkish food and an American breakfast, served buffet style, wonderfully fresh and so tasty. The area is super central also, walking distance to all the tourist attractions and sights: Grand Bazaar, Haga Sophia, Blue Mosque, tons of pretty plazas and parklets, plenty of restaurants and convenience stores and we felt very safe walking back at 11 at night. Our host at check-in was also so kind and extremely helpful, we just can’t wait to be back and staying for an extended period here!

Primero hotel is extremely convenient to several attractions nearby, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, and Grand Bizarre. My mother is older and although the walk to grand bizarre was all uphill she navigated it easily. There are numerous food options nearby. The thing that stood out the most besides how clean the hotel was was the staff. They were friendly and professional and attended to our every request.

I recently stayed at the Primero Hotel, and while it was a good hotel, I must admit that it didn't quite live up to the expectations set by its excellent reviews. The city view room I had was on the smaller side and didn't offer any extraordinary luxuries or memorable features. The included breakfast was good, but it didn't wow me. On the positive side, the hotel's location was a major plus. It was conveniently close to all the major attractions in town, and I loved that there were plenty of things to see and do within a short 10-minute walk from the hotel. Despite not being particularly luxurious, the Primero Hotel served as a decent base for exploring the city.

We checked in at 3am and the rooms were ready for us. There was a small mix-up in the beds but that was quickly remedied. The staff was very friendly and it is a very short walk to the public rail nearby. The morning breakfast was good and well stocked with plenty of options. My only comment is if you have someone who is not very mobile, there may be some difficulties as the entrance is about 5 steps up from the street and the walk to the transportation is fairly steep. We were fortunate as we had private tour guide picking us up so did not worry about the steep climb. The hotel is in an ideal location for tourists. If I come again with just my wife and friends, I will be coming here.

I was travelling with a family of four in the family room. While the room was a bit tight for four people and luggage, the staff service was outstanding. My husband needed to have his glasses fixed and the staff was able to expedite having it repaired. All 5 of our luggage was lost and the staff was helpful in calling the airlines on multiple occasions to retrieve them back. We had to have laundry done due to the lost luggage and the staff helped out with that as well. Breakfast was great with a nice variety of options. The hotel was close to Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Gran Bazaar and with MANY restaurant and shopping options. Would highly recommend. We did have some electrical issues in the room but we were able to deal with it.
