I couldn’t recommend the property for the reasons I checked off as noisy no air-conditioning and limited offerings in the breakfast area as well as tiny tiny rooms. The staff was friendly enough and helpful and it was clean.

Great hotel! Felt like new with the updated rooms and bathrooms - very clean. Breakfast was good, they even made me an iced latte on my way out every morning. The rooms are on the small side, but the cleanliness makes up for it. Lots of restaurants in the area and close to the train to get around easily.

Öncelikle Orhan Bey’e ilgi ve alakası için teşekkür ederiz. Odalar gayet temiz, hizmet ve ikramlar çok iyi. Şehrin büyük sorunu olan otopark ise bina önündeki küçük alan ile çözülebiliyor. Başka bir İstanbul seyahatimde tereddütsüz tercih edebileceğim bir yer.

Fiyat performans oteli. 4 gece kız arkadaşımla konakladım. Bulunduğu semt kozmopolit bu yüzden pek tekin sayılmaz ama 10 dk yürüme mesafesinde metro, tramvay ve marmaray var. Turistik yerlere ulaşımı rahat. Odaları biraz küçük ama temizdi. Kahvaltı açık büfe değil, standart tabak olarak geliyor. Ama istediğiniz şeyden ekstra getiriyorlar. Doymama durumunuz kesinlikle olmuyor. Çalışanlar ilgili ve güleryüzlü. Gönül rahatlığıyla konaklayabileceğiniz bir yer.

Keyifli bir konaklama

Otelin konumu metroya ve Yenikapı sahiline çok yakın, Sultanahmet'e bile yürüyerek yarım saatte gidiliyor. Çok mütevazı bir otel. İşletmecisi Orhan bey başta olmak üzere personel de çok ilgili ve güleryüzlü. Bu bölgeye bir daha gelirsek tekrar Lenus'ta kalacağız.
