Santefe Hotel

In a good area of Istanbul

The bathroom needed cleaning. The rooms were smaller than the photos suggested

I had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The room was clean and comfortable, and the overall atmosphere was relaxing. The staff were friendly, especially Yigit abi, professional, and always ready to help with anything I needed. Great service and good value for money. I’d definitely stay here again!

The rooms where perfect size for a family of three. And the location is super close to everything you need.

A slight renovation in the toilets will left this property to a very good position.

The rooms are small but clean and equipped with everything you need. The location is wonderful—within walking distance of major sites and public transportation. There’s an amazing little bakery right outside the hotel door, perfect for enjoying the best coffee and pastries, and an excellent restaurant nearby serving delicious kebab pita wraps at great prices. Service was excellent.

Decent cheap place In Istanbul.

No room cleaning, no toilet paper and the rooms and lobby were not nearly as nice as the photos. The wallpaper was peeling and the floors felt dusty. It was a cheap place to stay in a decent location and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Location and staff were the best thing about the hotel. MR Muzaffer from the reception was such a kind and polite gentleman. To be honest all of them were always greeting us with a smile and welcoming us with sincerity. The hotel is only 5 minutes walk from Kumkapı train staion that operates every 24 minutes to Sirkeci. And it’s 9 minutes walking to the metro line next to grand bazar @ Beyazıt . The rooms are somehow small but perfect is you are going to walk the whole day and come back just to sleep. Also very important also that there are lots of food options around plus lots of small supermarkets like Bim and şok and 101 . All are few steps away .

Safe, friendly and helpful staff. Good location. Value for money.

This is a centrally located hotel, with walkable distance to Grand Bazaar and the sea. The rooms are cosy - the top floor room has balcony with great sea view.

The double room is fine for solo traveller but a little bit tiny for 2 people, but is well equipped and has everything needed.

God location -close by many attractions

Small rooms as well the bed size

Nice clean rooom, kind very helpful staff

The room is a bit smaller than it seems on the pics

Excellent location, far enough away from tourists area to get reasonable prices food and drinks, but close enough to walk to see them. We had the smaller room, which for 3 nights was fine. Had fridge and kettle with tea & coffee. Bed seemed a little short but was comfortable. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The slippers were a nice touch too. I would stay in this hotel again as was value for money!

Although shower had plenty of hot water, the shower hose needs replacing as leaked. And couldn’t see a plug socket for the kettle nearby.

A nice location not far away from the tram station (although be ready to go down a hill to get to the hotel and back up to get to the station). The area is lively with many grocery stores and cafes nearby. Main sightseeing spots are within a 15 minute walk. The hotel itself is clean and it was quiet during the stay. The personnel was very friendly and helpful. Mattresses are soft and not lumpy, hot water and electricity was present all the time.

The room is a bit small for two people with no table (a tabletop over a fridge between two beds serves as a table) and a tiny sink in the bathroom. Someone tall might find beds to be not long enough and the room might not suite those who need some extra space during their stay. The are only two power sockets in the room (one in the bathroom), so one might need a splitter to charge several devices at once.

Location was fine, walking distance from Hagia Sofia

The room was really small and the bathroom was not clean, there was mold and a broken bathroom cabinet, it was hot and we did not have a remote for the AC

The room is clean and sufficient for a short stay;Close to the T6 Kumkapı tram station (2 minutes walking) and to a handful of restaurants.

I liked the location. It was near the Aya Sophia and Grand Bazzar. The street was not noisy it was quiet.

The beds and well the room were too small. But for the price you can get its good for a shorter stay

The staff is great,especially Esat.Carib was very heplfull.Communication without problem.The staff speaks both English and Russian.Location is super.All tourist attractions places are about fifteen minutes walk.While visiting Istnbul next time I'll definitely stay there.I recommend this hotel to everyone!

The owners are really nice and helping, there is 24/7 reception and the rooms are clean.

Everything was ok

Location, service and personal was great

Loud street car noise at nights, but this is everywhere in old Istanbul

Very friendly and helpful staff, value for money and nice place

Staff : Esat and Karib were exceptionally helpful and kind, always ready to offer assistance and provide recommendations, even before our arrival. They frequently guided us on routes, transportation, restaurants, and shops. Esat arranged our return taxi with a fixed rate.Room: Just as shown in the photos, equipped with a mini fridge, towels, and a hairdryer. Hotel : There is a stunning night view from the terrace. Be sure to take a little tour.There is always someone in the reception desk (day or night), there is also an elevator and a luggage scale. Hygiene: Impeccable! Simply request room cleaning before heading out.Location: Only a short uphill walk (5-10 minutes) separates the hotel from the Bayazit Tram T1 station. The Grand Bazaar is also right next to the station, where you can find the best currency exchange offices. The shops around the hotel are affordable. There is a café next to the hotel that serves Burek, ATM machines, and restaurants all along the sidewalk at reasonable prices. A clinic is 200 meters away, just in case. A budget grocery store right behind the hotel, just 1 min walk away. The neighborhood is very secure, with no outside noise.

Nothing !
