Vavien Hotel

Attentive staff, spacious and clean rooms, nice breakfast

Not really

Clean, good price, friendly staff.

I liked that there were free bottles of water at reception and our room (junior suite) had a nice view of the city! The location was good, as it was very central for where we wanted to go! The staff was also very very nice, and tried to communicate with us, even though they didn't speak much English and we don't speak Turkish.

The room was pretty expensive, and didn't really feel worth the price. Also a few little things -- the balcony doors were also really hard to open and close, the pillows were very thick and hard, the floor of the room was always very dirty, despite them cleaning our room every second day as requested. However, these were minor things!

I enjoyed my time in the Vavien hotel. Hotel staff: Vavien hotel staff was very helpful and customer oriented.Location: 2 minutes of walking to food shops, restaurants, sea and Ataturk bridge with metro train. Galata bridge, Galata Tower, Egyptian bazaar, famous Istiklal street and ferry boat stations are 5-10 minutes of walking distance from the hotel. Vavien hotel is located in the district where a lot of shops sell construction, bathroom and plumbing materials. So, don’t be shocked to see them during the day. It is very quiet around the hotel during night time.Room: My room was very comfortable and warm, considering cold weather outside. My room had clean and comfortable single bed, towels, TV, fridge, safe, electric kettle, cup with tea spoon, tiny table with chair, mirror and cloth hangers. Bedside table was comfortable to put drinks or food during watching movies. Bathroom with toilet and hot/cold shower and sink was divided by glass wall. Complimentary tea, sugar and water were provided on a daily basis. Room cleaning was offered every day. But I didn’t need daily cleaning.Wi-Fi worked very well in my room.Overall, I found Vavien hotel very comfortable for short and long stay. I would be happy to come back here again.

I liked everything.

Good location, decent price, clean rooms, simple but a serviceable place to stay for a short trip.

Few amenities in the rooms, but this is not advertised as such.

Great location right in the center. River and Galata Tower not far by foot. Busses, ferry and train are close by.Single bed room quiet, spacious and comfortable. Mosque view.Free water bottles provided to take at the entrance.

Staff so attentive, lovely atmosphere.

In an industrial area, so very eerie at night walking back to the hotel, only 500 metres from main shopping bar area but seems miles at night.

The staff was very nice

The wifi was not greatThe neighbours in the room were loud and we could hear everything next door

very polite and kind stuff, clean space

Unstable wi-fi in my bed

Clean and tidy, fab location. Staff were amazing at reccommendations and helping book taxis

Arrived late at night and wasn’t sure about street but it was absolutely fine

If you can not sleep without AC, then this place is not for you. There is AC but it’s not cold, and it takes forever to get a good temp in a room.

The location was very good and they clean your room every day, they also bring you tea and water which is nice gesture + free apples. Staff was enough friendly and helped us when we needed. Also they have elevator which is goood.

Pillows were the only terrible thing tbh.

Good cleanless and staff hospitality

Additional services costs not so clear

For a visit to Istanbul this hotel is great. The staff were really welcoming and friendly. The beds were very comfortable. The room was nice and clean. Good value for money in a great location, walking distance from Sishane metro station. Would definitely use this hotel again.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the exquisite Vavien Hotel, and it was an experience beyond compare. From the stunning architecture and luxurious interior to the exceptional service and delectable dining options, every aspect of my stay was impeccable. The comfortable rooms, top-notch facilities, and convenient location added to the overall brilliance of Vavien Hotel. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable and indulgent stay.

Location was great and the staff were very nice and helpful.

Breakfast no longer included but was not removed from the listing. it wasn’t a huge problem for us though.

The room was very neat, quite stylish. I liked that it was so close to Galata tower. Some people said that the area was dangerous. Well it’s not beautiful but very calm and very close to the tourists street. The receptionists kept my suitcase after check-in. so I am very happy with that choice!

maybe first impressions of area. for someone it’s not nice. but for a guy like me - absolutely no problems. So only recommend!

The staff was very cooperative and nice. Will definelty recommend the hotel to my acquittances if they decide to visit Istanbul.

The location is in a bit busy area. Specially for first timers. It can be a little intimating going on on your own.

The personnel was really considerate and polite. The location is ok, close to main street. There's a small shop in front of the hotel. Room was ok - 404. Hot water all the time.

The internet connection was really shaky. Cleanliness related, not impeccable. Given the fact that the bathroom is made of glass, the door to it does not close completely.

Location and cleanliness were perfect, bathroom were brand new and AC worked perfectly. Alll staff that I’ve met were helpful and attentive. Special thanks to housekeeping team for keeping my room absolutely spotless!

If you are sensitive to noise like me, it is a bit hard to sleep after 9:30 AM as the main road gets a bit noisy, however this is perfectly normal if you want to stay in this location and it is almost impossible to find a quiet place in this part of İstanbul anyway :)
