Clean!

Was here 3rd time and again was everything great. Great clean service, descent breakfast and very friendly staff especially Mr. Kadir!

Staff very helpful. Breakfast needs to be catered for British clients as well.

A small hotel which is a walking distance to all the main tourist attraction. A tram stop is close by. We got looked after by kadir and would help us with any issues we had. Adam is a great lad and very jolly, the rooms was clean and made up everyday with no issues. Breakfast was the standard turkish breakfast which we was happy with. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would come back to stay at the hotel again.

Very average. You can find way better hotels for that price. Photos don’t look accurate to how it actually looks like. There was mold in the shower. It’s also impossible to get a taxi in and out of the hotel, I had to walk to another hotel with two bags. The neighborhood isn’t nice either.

This property is very conveniently placed to all of the main attractions of Istanbul in the old city on european side. Whilst the hotel is quite small and lacking a lot of facilities and amenities that bigger more expensive hotels offer, it is very god value for the money you are paying and the quality of what is on offer, is good.

Recommend for everyone

Friendly owner & staff. Would stay there again. Very close to all the touristy locations. They will organise someone to pick you up from the airport. Rooms were cleaned every day & breakfast provided daily.

The room toilet is not clean. There is mold in the shower.

This is my second time at this property. Rooms are clean. Any issues the staff address it immediately. The breakfast used to be good., now is even better!!!" Great location! Many restaurants near, shopping area and many historical places within walking distance. Chatting with one of the staff Kadir we sharedplaces in Turkey we have visited. Very knowledgeable young man! Could help with tips to visit the region!!!

Stayed here for 3 nights with family, at first we were little unease with the room and Sheesha place downstairs and music playing but didn’t bother at all. Staff are very helpful and at the service straight away, especially Kadir! Nothing is a problem with him, he’ll get it sorted straight away which was lovely! No issues at all staying here, very safe at all times and great location!!! Hotel is located perfectly in the middle of pretty much everything from restaurants downstairs on the strip or supermarkets. Short 5-6mins to blue mosque and Hagia Sofia mosque. Grand bazaar is literally 4mins walk towards tramline, further down to Galato tower bridge and so on.. would recommend staying here as didn’t need any transportation other than transfer to airport and back, everything is so easy to navigate too and from the hotel, you’ll be amazed how everything is so close to each other. Thank you for having us and making our first Turkey holiday a beautiful one!

Situated right between the Grand Bazaar and Sultanahmet, nearly all the main sights are within walking distance. Those that aren't, the tram is a few minutes walk away. There are restaurants and bars outside the door, with others a short walk. The staff are great and will help with everything. Rooms are small but have what you need. Request one out the back, as the street can get very noisy late into the night.

Great location with lots of restaurants and touristic attractions walking distance. We travelled with two kids and staff was very helpful and friendly.

It’s was convenient to see historical things in Islambul.

Very professional, polite and helpful front desk employees! The hotel is very close to the Main Street, breakfast was good and rooms were neat and clean! Surrounding areas are dirty and construction everywhere but the hotel itself is pretty clean and well kept!

Positives: - Staff were very friendly - Bed was comfortable to sleep in - Air conditioning worked well - Great Location, close to tourist attractions, tram line and restaurants - Some of the breakfast food such as sausages and scrambled egg was nice Negatives: - Muliple power cuts occured throughout the stay - Lift very slow and not working at times - On one occasion, room not cleaned properly and items not replenished - Had to request extra items such as pillows, iron and iron board. Gave broken iron on the first day. - When requesting more items, sometimes it took a long time to get what was asked for from reception. Sometimes reception didnt pick up the phone. - Some of the breakfast food such as breads was always hard - Incident. The floor of the hotel lobby was wet after they had mopped and there was no wet floor sign. My wife slipped and almost fell over because of this. - Fan in the bathroom makes too much noise. - Wifi wasnt very good. Slow upload and download speeds. Took a very long time to send pictures and videos to family. Went offline on a couple of occasions. Wasnt able to connect to Wifi in the hotel lobby. - Incident. Cleaner came into room without being invited in.

Great customer service!

Clean and centrally located. Lady at the reception desk was very friendly. Breakfast was good. We only stayed for 1 night.

Loved everything except the bathroom was not super clean and had black mold in the shower. The staff is excellent, the breakfast is good and generous and overall it’s a lovely base

Hotel Kupeli

This boutique hotel is compact in nature but clean and perfect for a base. It is close to the tram line and historic sites but beware the steep streets - a great workout! The lady on reception is very friendly and helpful, we had a map on arrival and she showed us where we were and where the sites were. She also recommended a couple of places for food. There is a little shop opposite with essentials, cold drinks etc Breakfast was not a highlight for us but it all depends what you are used too. Starbucks is a short walk up the steep street!

Walking Distance to Hagia Sophia

The location was amazing and right in the middle of all the main tourist spots. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were very nice and clean however the ceiling light wasn't working in one of the two rooms we had, though all the lamps and other ambient lights were fine. The rooms were a lot smaller than they looked in the pictures.We had two connecting rooms.

Great little place. Cute nice staff good coffee shop but someone was smoking in the rokm next to me and everything smelled like smoke.

The location was very good you can walk everywhere. All the mosques and bazar was close , staff were very helpful , the hotel is very dated especially the old part but the main is better , it’s good if your staying for a few days , break is ok It’s the staff and location that makes it good

Peaceful

Small hotel, probably family owned. Staff is the top item, as they are friendly, helpfull. They provide precise and usefull hits for tourists. Facility is small and simple but clean and well maintenanced. Located in the heart of Sultamet area.

The first room I was given was had odor, window opened to wall so room was dark and dank. I asked for a different room and it was much better. No odor, well lit. Room was very tiny.

The staff was very attentive.

Great stay is Istanbul

We stayed in the family room. It was spacious, well equipped and clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast hours were great, until 10:30, and while options were always the same, they were great. The location is amazing, 5 minute walk to Sultanhamet.

5 star

We had amazing room and hotel staf very nice and professional. Perfect location

Great location and very warm, helpful and welcoming staff and management.

Extremely pleasant stay. The staff at this hotel are genuinely welcoming. Nothing is too hard for them and they will do anything to make your stay enjoyable. The rooms are of decent size and clean, the breakfast plentiful and tasty. The location is very convenient to the Grand Bazaar and Hagia Sofia.

Nice comfortable hotel

Nice hotel with friendly and helpful staff. The room was comfortable and clean, and all our requests -- additional hangers, use of an iron, more toiletries etc. -- were dealt with immediately. We stayed five days and were very happy with the hotel and how easy it was to walk to all the main tourist sites.

Exceptional service. They appreciate friendly and helpful staff members who go above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. Very comfortable accommodations, cleanliness of the rooms, comfortable beds, and well-maintained facilities . Great Location hotel in convenient and desirable locations. Very close to attractions, restaurants, and transportation options

The room is to small but tooo small and the same breakfast every single day, no varieties, 2 fruits, the A/C not strong.

Great stay. Will come again

Spotlessly clean. Staff are friendly and alert to your needs. They pay attention to your comings and goings to make sure you are doing well. Breakfast is 109 times better than the Hilton Hotel that I stau d at last month near the airport Minneapolis. Desk staff Kadir, and Zakiya, hotel manager Taner and staff Erdem all addressed me by name from the first day. Very central location to everything.

İt was my fist trip to Istanbul!!I really liked the hotel! The staff was very attentive! The hotel is located in a historical plase a very convenient location. Breakfast was very tasty

The area around the hotel was steep, and diffult to climb, which made it inconvenient and tiring for me. The restaurant around in the area closed early, which made it hard to find affordable food after a long day of tours therefore inconvenient for tourists. The hotel itself was okay. The staff was fairly friendly and helpful, however communication was the issue, not only in the hotel but everywhere during our trip in turkey. Inside the hotel, the beds were uncomfortable and made sound, the area was noisey, no iron press for clothes, the AC was also loud. However, we did enjoy the breakfast service and the food was delicious.

Too much noise during night

Hotel was in a great location - easy to walk to lots of the major tourist attractions. Rooms were basic but very clean. Breakfast was delicious. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Air conditioning was excellent! Our room was on the top floor, which was not accessible by elevator. The staff were very helpful in carrying our luggage up the stairs for us, which was appreciated.

Great

This is a small hotel located near the Grand Bazar. Very good location with restaurants next door and within easy walking distance. Staff is young and attentive. The complimentary breakfast probably had 25-30 different dishes to choose from. I stayed at a Hilton Hotel in the USA with an upgrade to the private business dining room. The quality and freshness of their food was not even comparable to this small boutique or the care they put into presentation.

Too much noise during night

Very welcoming, very friendly and very helpful receptionists. Nice breakfast and clean maintained rooms. We recommend the stay in Kupeli hotel Istanbul 🙂

The staff is wonderful and pleasant. The property is very clean and comfortable except the elevator which is so small and can only reach the 5th floor, so the guests is 6th floor will have to use the stairs.

Very good location and staff are amazing .

Everything is great

The hotel was clean and in a good location which made it easy to explore the area. Good breakfast with a variety of options to start the day right. The staff, Zakiya and Kadir, were incredibly friendly and gave us valuable advices on local attractions. They helped me to store my luggage early, before checking in and on the last day, after checking out, to explore the city further. I would definitely recommend Kupeli to anyone looking for a clean, well-located hotel with excellent service and facilities.

Happy Travellers

We had a fabulous stay at Kupeli Hotel & would definitely stay again & recommend to others. Location was ideal & the breakfast was amazing

Clean and all staff are frandly helping hand Thank Kupali hotel

Very good hospitality,

Staff

.

Great staff!

Very clean hotel, decent breakfast with lots of choice, great location. Very helpful and friendly staff, especially Mr. Kadir! Highly recommend!

Amazing!

Always amazing! A+

Very near to famous attractions like Blue Mosque and Grand Bazaar. the hotel staff are helpful. On the last day, one of the staff helped us to call taxi to airport. Originally we booked a cab thru Uber but the taxi didnt show up, he helped us to call the uber driver and messaged the driver. In the end, the staff helped us to book a taxi at cheaper rate. Thanks for his great assistance!

Staff was very helpful,rooms were clean.

It was an amazing stay! Great assistance! Easy check in! Big room!

Good very good experience me and my family enjoyed it and we hope to see you again

Very helpfull staff

Nice little hotel with very friendly staff in a convenient location. Decent breakfast. See you again in January!

Room without windows nit good, location not bad

Not so great as inenof the room windows was boocked by another building next to it

Not great

I booked 2 rooms. One room windows was blocked by another building structure. When i reported i was told that all the triple rooms are blocked and nothing can be done. Breakfast there was no toaster, breakfast area is in reception. Location very good but again late night noise was problem in sleeping.

Good place with kind stuff

Perfect stay

The staff were excellent and even surprised me with a birthday cake! Very friendly staff and looked after us well. The location is perfectly situated within walking distance to the Blue Mosque and bazaars. Will definitely stay here again.

Very nice hotel great atmosphere. Helpful and friendly staff. Good breakfast and close to tram and main attractions.

Small boutique hotel in the Heart of Sulthanamet. Great friendly and helpful staff Kadir made our stay really enjoyable. We arrived early and he recommends us to check the surroundings near the metro and left our luggages With him while our room was prepared. It was Turkey’s 100th Anniversary of its founding of the republic and a Sunday as well as a national holiday. So lots of people was out. Room was adequate, clean With comfy bed. With electric kettle and refridgerator. AC needs to be cleaned though as kind of noisy. What we can say was a generous selection of Food for breakfast and tasty too, more than we expected. He assisted in calling a yellow Taxi for us to Istanbul International AirPort for 800 Turkish liras but the Taxi driver scammed us upon arrival at the AirPort for 200 Turkish liras more since he used the toll to avoid traffic though we are not in a rush. Highly recommended if you are on a budget.

Hotel room smells sewage worst when taking shower or flushing toilet. plus location surrounded with boxes on pavenent road trip hazards straps...its just in the middle of shoes warehouses noise early morning deliveries pick up,repeat breakfast...

Check-in was fast. Service was good. Room was average. Wi-fi was strong. Breakfast needs further improvement. What we like most about the hotel was the location. Centrally located in the old town. Close to many places of interest like the hippodrome, basilica cistern and Grand Bazaar. All within walking distance.

Staff is very helpful.

This is a very basic little hotel, but is clean and comfortable. It is perfectly located for walking to all major attractions. The staff are lovely and very helpful

Hotel was lovely staff where friendly service was outstanding.

We really enjoyed our 5 nights stay in Hotel Kupeli. Kabeer and the rest of the staffs are very friendly and always ready to help. Location is excellent, walkable to all the restaurants/bars, shopping and the historic places. We will stay in this hotel again in the future.

Convenient

Very pleased with your accommodations Ty! The Vogler’s

I like everything

Affordable hotel with a nice location

Staff were friendly, nice hotel location. Close and walking distance to everything.

The staff went above and beyond for us. They were extremely friendly and very knowledgeable about the all the attractions Istanbul has to offer. We had a blast there .

I stayed here for 3 nights and had a great experience! It was my birthday, and the hotel even surprised me with a birthday cake. Zakia at the front desk always went above and beyond to help us with everything we needed. The room was clean and well-organized, just a bit small. The only other downside was that we could hear a lot of noise outside the room- people talking, other people’s alarms, street noise, etc. The location is great and it is easy to walk to any place in Sultanahmet! Overall I would highly recommend.

This is an average three star hotel. 15 mins walk from Blue Mosque and within easy reach of tram and restaurant on Main Street.

Family city break trip

We stayed as a family in a triple and double room. The hotel was in a perfect location to walk to some of the key 'must see' sites like the Hagia Sofia, Blue mosque etc and also walking distance to the T1 tram lines and the Grand Bazaar. The rooms were perfectly adequate for our needs. The service was excellent and the staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was plentiful and varied. We would happily stay here again.

A really lovely hotel, I was there with family. The staff are genuine, kind and helpful and the breakfast selection was nice. The only thing I wasn’t a fan of was the view from my room but aside from that, great central location!

The service from every person, was incredible thank you!

The customer service was very good however the shower and bathroom in our room had mould and had not been cleaned properly. We also had a broken toilet seat and shower (one in each room we booked) and the problem had not been sorted by the end of our stay. We also were having issues with our AC. The location of the property is excellent as it is a short walk away from sultanahmet and as I mentioned previously, the customer service was very good, the only feedback I have for the property is to renovate the rooms and ensure that a deep clean is done between check ins.

Excellent experience at Kupeli. Qadeer and Ardam were great hosts. We got upgraded to a bigger room and had a lot of space. Everything was walking distance. Would definitely come back again. Thank you team Kupeli

Small and quite place to stay in middle of old town close and walkable distance to center of attractions like Blue Mosque, Sultanmanet Square etc. Lot of dinning options close by. We were able to walk to Grand Bazar from hotel. Hotel staff was excellent, able to communicate in english, able to guide us to cover the attractions, and helped us to book the sunset Boshpours cruise . My family would love stay again if we planned to visit Istanbul in future.

We stay here for three nights in July.We had a great time ,the service was more than ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.The place is super clean also the breakfast is very exceptional.Thank you Kumeli.

Hotel it’s 5 min walking distance to Grand Bazar ; staff super helpful; very nice !!

I stayed in this location with my family of 4, we had an amazing stay. Cemberlitas tramway is just up the hill as well as great restaurants and sweet stores. Great location to move around. Hotel breakfast was amazing with a big Turkish spread of everything from bread, fruit, traditional Turkish sides, tea, coffee to your regular scramble eggs and hotdogs.

There are these two staff members where horrible and not inviting. The rest of staff members where nice. The roads are so noisy at night because of the location. The bedsheets are grey and towels are grey and some has holes on them. The breakfast is limited choice wise. the location is amazing it terms of it is near to almost all tourists attractions.. definitely not weathy the prices they charge per room.

Very friendly staff.

Gem in Sultanahmet

Kabir, Adam and the owners of this hotel were very hospitable, kind and goes over and beyond in helping us out. We did not get one luggage and it was so difficult to deal with Turkish airline. When I told Kabir he said don’t worry, he called the airport for me and arranged for delivery.

Great service and good location

Great hotel

Great hotel, staff very attentive. Good location in the old town within walking distance of Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque, Basicila Cistern and a variety of public transport options.

Nice hotel, recommended!

Lovely hotel in a great location, tram stop within walking distance which helped with getting around Istanbul. The welcome from Kadir when checking in was fantastic and he could not do have done more to help us. The area is good, with some nice restaurants and bars within walking distance. Overall I would stay again so would be happy to recommend to others.

This property was fantastic in terms of location to all the famous landmarks in Istanbul. The customer service we received from all the staff was amazing and courteous. Everyone was friendly and helpful as well as multilingual. They helped us find food, gave us good tips, and helped us find transportation.

Wonderful hotel - will be back again!

Champions league base.

Really enjoyed staying here . Staff left me alone, room was nice and big and cleaned every day. Breakfast was good , just the job . Did a week and would go again without hesitation.

The staff is nice and helpful They are available. The place is clean.

Great

Perfect location the front room abit noisy, staff are fabulous, the shower needs a good clean to get rid of mould.

This hotel is not in the same level as other hotels around the area. This is a $50.00 a night hotel. Not a $125 a night like they charge. I stayed for one night and left the next morning

I really enjoyed the breakfast.

The staff were very accomadating and friendly , very noisy the first night we stayed and asked to move from facing street traffic to back side of hotel. No questions asked they moved us the very next day to a bigger room , at no charge ! Super kind and friendly staff, the beds are rock hard , for some may be no problem at all ! All around great location to resturaunts and shops nearby , and walking distance to grand Bizzare !
