Our room was small but comfortable. The bed was very comfortable. The staff was extremely helpful. There was a private shuttle from the Port arranged by the staff. They also arranged a terrific guide for two days. We also took advantage of a Turkish Bath. The staff arranged a transport for free. The Turkish Bath is just we needed after a long cruise.

We had a great stay, although Expedia messed up our reservation for a twin room. It was miscommunicated to the hotel and they only had a queen bedroom to offer. However, our stay was excellent. The staff was incredibly helpful, friendly and offered great tips on places to visit and for shopping. Thank you to Aziz especially, and to the other friendly staff.

Changes from last year

We spent a week last year, and it was amazing. Was disappointed this year by the room we were given, the cleaning person dud not take the time to change sheets ir to cover the bed properly. We did not fnd soap the first night when we got there very late. Aziz and Yoculd were very helpful and very kind as usual. The price was also higher thus year.

The best hotel

It was a good experience, the staff very friendly and attentive; all the time waiting for if we needed anything. They offered us to drink while waiting for the room to be ready. Thank you for making us feel at home. Breakfast was good and the location of the hotel was perfect, restaurants and everything we wanted to see was nearby.

Love this hotel. Very friendly & helpful employees. Aziz was great, so was the doorman & housekeeping. Can’t beat the location of this property. Only minutes to Blue Mosque & Hagia Sophia. Tram is just minutes away too. Soooo convenient!! Not my 1st time in Istanbul, but this hotel was the perfect location. We will definitely return.

What a fantastic hotel, right in the heart of Sultanahmet. From the moment I arrived at Hotel Nena, the staff were fantastic, doing everything they could to make my experience memorable, thank you! Apart from the great staff, the hotel itself is also excellent, with the rooms being recently renovated to very high standard, this made for an even better stay. Located within easy walking distance to all the key sites in the district, this was the perfect location to explore from. Again though, the staff without exception were incredibly friendly, helpful and provided excellent recommendations to make my sightseeing goals as easy as possible and my overall stay at Nena Hotel one to remember.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Our stay at Hotel Nena was excellent mainly due to its quality of service and the location of the hotel, which is located in a very central area close to many important attractions in Istanbul. The breakfast service is good as is the cleaning maintenance in the rooms. The most important thing about the satisfaction of our stay was the attention of Aziz at the reception, who guided us at all times about activities we could do. Aziz made sure we were okay at all times and answered every question or concern. Thank you, Aziz, for everything, especially for the surprise on my birthday. We highly recommend this hotel for a happy stay in Istanbul. Yorjam and Betty

Disliked: Staff & service
The room I paid for was meant to be 2 single beds, instead got put into a small room with a double bed. When I had arrived at reception, they advised I had to pay more because I paid the child rate for my teenager, eventhough at time of booking and paying in full the cost included a child of up to 17 years old…So not very happy about that. I requested an iron in the room when the hotel staff text me a few days before arriving, it was not in the room when we arrived. I then went to reception the next day to request an iron again and the man at reception said he would get an iron sent to the room. This never happened during our stay. The breakfast was good, plenty of options to choose from. The staff were pleasant….but again the rooms are very small so may be suitable for a single occupancy only. The hotel is very close to all the main historical sites and the tram which is a bonus.
