It is more than just a hotel, it is a home & a sanctuary where both the owners treat you like family. They are very kind hearted, passionate & caring humans. Their hospitality and prompt responses made the trip even better. I will recommend this stay to each and every person going to Istanbul. You will come as guests, but you will leave as friends.

:-), Amman

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Extremely friendly staff who did their best to make my stay comfortable, warm and clean room and bathroom. However, the hotel building was old (and has no lift) and located in an old area (not exactly in istanbul center but still near -about 3 to 4 km- and there is a public transport station near the hotel (bus)). No such tourist flow that is usually seen in the center nor much shops can be found as the area is more of residential rather than touristic. Even the few nearby markets close earlier as compared to center. It was somehow hard to find the hotel as well. And for people who fear dogs, they own one that stays sitting at the reception and breakfast area all the time (was polite and lovely one though). After all, I enjoyed my stay and was really impressed the way that the staff made everything smooth and comfortable (helping with bags, advised regarding places to visit, and arranged me a comfortable van that drove me to airport). They were really great.

とても親切にしていただきました。空港までの送迎も安心して利用できます。 長距離バスのチケットを購入するとき手伝ってもらいました。エレベーターはなく階段ですが、スーツケースも持ってくれました。隣に長距離バスの会社、その隣に薬局があります。メトロはハリチ駅が近いのですが15分くらい歩きます。バス停は近いのでバスを利用すると良いと思います。

Ett bra hotell för resenärer med lågbudget

Hotellet ligger på promenadavstånd från centrum. Jag kände till omgivningen och jag blev inte besviken. Vid ankomsten redogjorde receptionisten ganska utförligt för mig om vad och hur man kan göra i närheten. Detta har aldrig hänt mig förut och jag upplevde det som väldigt positivt.

Aile ile kalmaya uygun değil otel çok pis

Muhit olarak kocamustafapaşa bölgesinde ve bina baya eski ve bakımsız. İzmirden geldiğim için açıkçası bir bilgim yoktu ve puanları bakarak geldim. Otel bir kere otel değil. Daha çok Hostel denilebilir. Odalar maalesef çok pis, örtülerin her yeri leke. Yüksek puanına aldınız geldim açıkçası çok da ucuz değildi. Fiyatı duyan taksiciler bile şaşırdı. Çalışanların iyi niyetli ve yardımsever davranışlarına rağmen bunu yazmak zorundayım. Özellikle aile olarak kalacaksanız tercih etmeyiniz

Tek Kelimeyle Mükemmel.

Genel olarak çok iyi. Hizmet 10 numara. Temizlik iyiye yakın biraz daha özenli olabilir. Konfor ve otelin durumu mükemmel. Bölge olarak Fatih Camiine 20 dakika yürüme mesafesinde. Sultan Ahmet’e 20 dakikada araçla ulaşılıyor. Uber programı çok yardımcı olacaktır. Ucuz taksi isteyenler bu programı indirebilir. Otel müdürü Vural beye çok çok teşekkür ederiz. Bir daha İstanbul’a gidersek kesinlikle yine Lotus Hotel.
