Breakfast definitely needs to be improved, same stuff everyday, only thing they offer to make fresh are eggs. Also jams need to be changed after every guest, because we had used and half empty ones(photo attached). Our AC didnt work when we arrived, but front desk staff was very professional and quick to give us a new room, props for that. Overall great hotel, great location and service.

This property is a charming gem. Great location, charming rooms, great roof top deck, superb breakfast and wonderful people. Close to all Istanbul attractions, good restaurants and transportation. Our room was on the small side, but had all we needed, with charming antique accents. Very quiet, since we faced the back. Would definitely return there.

The staff at this hotel were incredibly helpful and kind. The breakfast they serve is amazing (and huge!) with eggs, fruit,pastries and a number of Turkish dishes. Our room was huge and incredibly charming! Bed was very comfortable. They had tea and coffee in the room and a small fridge with drinks and snacks. You could walk from the hotel to ALL of the sites, it’s so well located for sites, restaurants and shopping. I strongly recommend this charming boutique hotel. You will love it! They even took a poloroid of us in the dining room on our last morning for use to keep. So sweet!

I can’t say enough about what an awesome experience my husband & I had at Hotel Miniature. The room was charming & clean. The staff were warm, friendly & hospitable. The location was within short walking distance to restaurants and the city center. We were pleasantly surprised by the breakfast feast included with our stay. The food was delicious and more than we could eat! From the roof, we enjoyed an incredible view of Hagia Sophia & the Bosphorus Bridge. We plan to return to Istanbul one day & we will definitely stay at Hotel Miniature.

Very good location. Walking distance to many major sights and near to restaurants. The area was safe and lively but not loud. Staff were helpful. They arranged a dinner cruise for us one evening and helped us with transportation back to the airport. Their breakfast was very good with fresh cooked eggs, fresh bread and many Turkish salads served with a variety of fruits and cheeses. The rooms, while smaller than I had expected, were very nice, clean and well decorated. The bathroom was stocked with shampoo, conditioner, lotion and a dental kit. Plenty of hot water and were very clean. I would definitely stay here next time. The location alone makes it ideal but the staff and the lovely rooms made it extra special.

We had a wonderful 5 night stay at Hotel Miniature. Could not fault anything. The staff were very helpful before and during our stay answering our many questions. The room was quiet, clean and very comfortable and had all the amenities that we required. The breakfast was superb, so plentiful with many different options and all so very tasty. The location was perfect, we were able to walk to all the main tourist attractions with the Grand Bazar, Spice Market, Basilica Cistern Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and Topkapi palace all within close proximity. We also were able to walk across Galata Bridge to visit the tower and walked up to Taksim Square, this is a little further but still manageable and we got to see so many different things along the way. The hotel also had a great number of restaurants close which suited us for dinner each night. Would definitely recommend.
