We stayed at Hotel Sumengen in 1993 and on return to Istanbul in 2026 wanted to go back. We were not disappointed. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly. The hotel is charming and spotlessly clean. The breakfast has an extensive selection of authentic Turkish foods and the breakfast room has a sea view. The location is still as characterful as we remember it, although there are now more restaurants and small supermarkets. We will stay at Sumengen again next time we visit. Thanks Joe, Can, and the rest of the team!

The hotel was in a great location, with parking. The room was really big with lots of space but the downside was the paper thin walls - you could literally hear EVERYTHING that was happening in the rooms around you which unfortunately didnt make for a restful stay.

My family and I had a wonderful time at this hotel. It was my daughter's birthday trip.I requested a decoration room and a birthday cake. The staff were extremely helpful! My daughter didn't know the surprise that's why she was so delighted! The decoration was pretty and of course the cake was delicious! The location and breakfast were also nice, we can access the central of the city easily. It takes only 10 minutes on foot. l love the view from the restaurant in the hotel. I appreciate the hotel. I'd like to come back soon! Thank you so much!

The staff is amazing, they helped us with all our questions, special thanks to the staff for the breakfasts, we really enjoyed them every morning.location - the very heart of Istanbul, just perfect.

It's a perfect families place and seniors couples, its very close to the old city, mesquitas, shopping and museums. The service is amazing, the breakfast is a typical turkish menú, We have a good experience with new flavors and food. If you hope the typical american breakfast ,this is not the place, but if you're intelligent and searching the best place for your vacations, this is the place. All the personal in the hotel ,works for your confort and rest.
