I had a wonderful stay at Emin Palace. The hotel was impeccably clean and located in a perfect spot—everything was within walking distance, including the metro station and the bustling market. A special thanks to the receptionists, Elvin and Azat, who were exceptionally kind and helpful throughout my visit. Their warm hospitality made the experience even better. Highly recommended!

This place is well situated, however within the old town. It requires a lot of energy to traverse from the hotel to other attractions such as the mosques and the grand bazaar. The room is genereally ok and clean, however it is not at all spacious - there can be improvements made to the room odour before the check ins to offset the pungent smell. The bathrooms can be improvised by keeping full set of consumables including the body lotions, hair conditioners, etc. There are no bosphorous views at the top breakfast floor as mentioned in the adverts. If there is little sneaky glimpse, it is overshadowed by the hanging curtains which are used to keep away the birds during breakfast. This top floor is also not open throughout the day, only during breakfasts. The staff at the reception desk is ok, helpful, but this hotel comes with a lot of restrictions, do and donts, which are told to the guests during check in, and ofcourse I am not used to such restrictions from the country (Fiji Islands) where I come from. Basically, no registered families, no registered friends, no one is allowed into your rooms, all meetings are to take place at the lobby, as I was told. The streets around the hotel gets lit up during the Sunday market and there is a lot of hustle and bustle on this day. The metro is located not far away. The owner himself is nice, jovial, and down to earth- I had the opportunity to striking some great conversations with him during my two nights stay there.

Nice new hotel with friendly staff. Only downfall is the restaurant/breakfast area is on the top floor. 7am chairs starts being dragged in an out of tables constantly for hours. If you are on the top two floors be ready to be awoken early.

Great experience!

Wonderful staff! Very nice and helpful. We had a big issue when booking though a website and we were very stressed, but the staff, Firat was his name, calmed us down and helped us solve it in no time! Emin Palace is located very close to a lot of interesting tourist attractions, restaurants, bazaars and stores. It was easy to find your way around. The rooms were clean and even though we booked last minute, everything was greatly prepared for us when we arrived. Breakfast was also included! All in all, Emin Palace Hotel is a great hotel to stay at.

I had a really good stay at Emin Hotel. It’s not a luxury hotel, but it is clean, safe, and very comfortable, which is exactly what I was looking for. The room was simple but well-maintained, and everything was in good working condition. I felt secure during my stay, and the overall environment was quiet and relaxing. The staff were especially kind, friendly, and helpful, always willing to assist when needed and made the experience even better. If you’re looking for a modest, reliable place to stay that’s clean and welcoming, I would definitely recommend Emin Hotel. I would happily stay here again.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel in Istanbul. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the kindest and most welcoming reception team—especially Ervin, Azat & Mahmet—who truly went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Their warmth and genuine care set the tone for our entire trip. Throughout our five-day stay, they were incredibly helpful with everything we needed. Whether it was recommending amazing places to eat, helping us plan our days, or assisting us whenever we had questions, they made everything feel effortless and stress-free. It’s rare to come across such attentive and thoughtful service. The hotel itself was excellent, and the breakfast each morning was delicious with plenty of great options. Everything about our experience was smooth, comfortable, and enjoyable. What really stood out, though, was the staff—their friendliness, professionalism, and willingness to help made this trip truly special. I can’t recommend this place enough. If you’re visiting Istanbul, this is definitely where you want to stay.

We had a good stay. The hotel is nicely located, walking to the station takes around 8min. I would recommend the hotel for its location and also nice staff. Thats a 10/10. The maids however were dissappointing, did not clean the rooms properly (sheets weren’t changed and used towels were just folded back). They were also very loud on the hallway while talking to eachother and not friendly/welcoming. The male receptionists however were extremely kind and welcoming. Definitely showed that they were going out of their way to help you. Thank you.

The sheets had stains and the room had a sewer smell. The location was very close to most attractions however the street is packed with vendors that it literally felt like you were in the middle of a bazaar. It just was not ideal. Also hotel tried to force us to pay cash instead of by card by telling us the system is down don’t fall for it it’s not and just insist on paying with a card it works.
