It's situated on a side street within walking distance of many restaurants, bazaars, major sights, etc. Happy hour on the roof every... More

Drinks are also available for purchase and the rooftop stays open late. The gentleman who runs the upstairs is wonderful.. Fresh fruit at... More

Stayed there with my Mum for 4 nights in April 2013. Booking by email was nice experience, super friendly and efficient. Airport transfer was fine but was a bit disappointed when we arrived as the twin room was quite cramped for 2 people, and not much surface area to put stuff. Kept hitting head off shower door it was that... More

I stayed at the Sebnem with friends on their first visit to Istanbul and Turkey, and couldn't have asked for a better place for them to enjoy some good, friendly but not overwhelming Turkish hospitality. The breakfast was excellent and beyond expectations while the breakfast rooftop area (even on wintry days) was a great place to relax and plan the... More

Close proximity to tourist areas, staff is super helpful and attentive, clean rooms, lovely rooftop deck for day or night use, wifi & laptops available for use at no extra charge, breakfast included, and airport service available for extra fee. The outdoor noise can be an issue, but you should expect that given the number of bars/restaurants in the area.... More

This was a very nice place to stay. Sebnem Hotel is very close to the Blue Mosque and Haggia Sophia. They have a shuttle from the airport for 25€ that was very convenient given our flight times. The breakfast was great especially since it was include with the room. I have already recommended this hotel to our friends.
