I had a wonderful stay at the hotel - the rooms are brand new and very clean, just like in the pictures and within walking distance to the sea. The location is fabulous for exploring Istanbul's historic sites, but may be a bit dark and quiet for some solo travelers. The service was very helpful overall, though could have been more knowledgeable in handling a few issues. The dining options did the trick, nothing extraordinary but satisfying. The facilities were great, offering everything I needed during my stay.

I had a lovely stay at Minel hotel in Istanbul. The location was fantastic, close to all major attractions like the Spice Bazaar, Blue Mosque, and Topkapi Palace. The rooms were spacious, impeccably clean, and well-appointed with modern amenities. The service was excellent, with the staff always smiling and offering a delicious breakfast. However, the dining experience could be improved with better quality juice. Overall, a great value for money choice in a prime location.

I couldn't have asked for a better stay! The hotel is a gem within walking distance to the sea in Istanbul, boasting a prime location for exploring the city. The rooms were spacious, immaculately clean, and ideal for both couples and families. The service was incredibly warm and attentive, making me feel like part of their Istanbul family. However, the dining experience left much to be desired with limited options during my 8-night stay.

I spent 7 days at the Yazar Hotel in October. The rooms are clean, spacious, and decorated nicely with a comfortable bed, modern new furniture, smart TV, kettle, and safe. The location is very central to major sights in Istanbul, near Serkeci metro station, restaurants, cafes, and supermarkets. Although some areas around the hotel were dark, it offers a nice view of the Bosphorus and Galata tower. The dining experience was delightful with a variety of fresh pastries, eggs, tea, and more. The service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to assist with city maps, taxi services, and room adjustments for a better experience.
