Zeyn Otel Istanbul

Fantastic location, walkable to transit and many local sites. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, I felt very cared for. The bed was comfortable and the air conditioning kept the room and 18c while sleeping. During the day I had the window open and it was still a nice temperature. I was thankful for the bottles of water and the breakfast, I do have a positive suggestion of perhaps having signs for what the different items were, being from the west I wasn't familiar with all the options and I was unsure what I might be trying or missing out on because I was not sure if I would like it, but what I did try was delicious. I was provided a map with advice for local sites to see which was a nice touch. I also used their airport transfer 3 times and was very pleased. I also had my clothes laundered for a competitive price. I loved having a sea view room to wake up to. Couple of things to note, There are Mosques all over Istanbul and calls to prayer can be at ALL hours, so do yourself a favor and bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. Also I knew this from pictures when I was booking but the bed was large and getting past it to the window side was a challenge with large luggage so if you have issues I'm sure they would help you lift the luggage over the bed. I hope this review helps you make your decision. The cleaning staff was wonderful. You can't go wrong for location, comfort, hospitality and price.

Exceptional Hospitality and Memorable Stay! We had an absolutely wonderful experience at this hotel. Although we had mistakenly booked a smaller room, the staff handled it with such grace and efficiency. As soon as we informed them, they immediately checked availability and upgraded us to a more spacious room without any hassle. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was top-notch. The manager and the entire staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive. We were provided with a detailed map highlighting the best tourist destinations, local markets, and cultural spots to explore. The manager personally recommended the finest restaurants and even guided us to the famous saffron market. What truly stood out was the warmth and cultural richness of the people here. As a thoughtful gesture, the manager gifted me a beautiful scarf and a small token representing their local heritage, which made the experience even more special. He also regularly checked in to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. This stay was not just about the accommodation, but about feeling truly cared for. We would definitely choose this hotel again whenever we return. Highly recommended!

Charming Rural Hotel with Exceptional Hospitality in Old Istanbul Location: Perfectly situated in Old Istanbul Staff: Outstanding, with an excellent manager who goes above and beyond Breakfast: Authentic Turkish style with good variety Overall Experience: Memorable and personalized Detailed Review: This small, rural-style hotel offers much more than its size suggests. The manager's communication and helpfulness were truly exceptional, making us feel welcome and supported throughout our stay. While the rooms are compact, they are comfortable and manageable. The Turkish-style breakfast was a delightful experience, offering a descent range of traditional options with no complaints. The hotel's accessibility to Old Istanbul is a significant advantage for travelers wanting to explore the historic area. Constructive Feedback: The only area for improvement would be the mattresses, which were quite hard. However, the warmth of the hospitality more than made up for this minor issue. Recommendation: You don't need a 5-star hotel when you have hosts who make you feel special. Highly recommended for travelers seeking an authentic, personalized Istanbul experience.

The staff was incredibly kind and very invested in ensuring you were comfortable. We had a couple of small problems with the room and they fixed them the same day we told them about it and later on asked how everything was. The location was also ideal - very centrally located and close to the tram as well.

As a senior woman traveling alone, I loved the warm welcome, safety and cleanliness at this small and modern hotel. Excellent service in English and everyone was personable and helpful. I felt very safe in a spotless and modern place. I also really liked having a refrigerator, hairdryer and coffeepot/teapot in the room. Staff will help you find anything you need, and have maps available. The location is on a side street, a slight uphill walk to to the Old Town attractions and public transportation. Many restaurants and stores (including a grocery store) within a 5 - 10 minute walk and I felt very safe, even walking home late in the evening.
