Detailed Reviews
The twin rooms we stayed in are a bit small but the cleanliness was superb on a daily basis and this is of utmost important.
The water pressure in the toilet is great especially after a long day outside.
The pillows are just heavenly to be honest and im a person who has insomnia, however as soon as i laid my head on the pillows in our twin room i fell asleep 😴💤
The location of the hotel is superb, 3-5 min walk to hagia sophia and Sultan Ahmet mosque.
PS: A great thankyou to Sarkas who works at the hotel who was amazing in the way he treated us especially my mother 🙏🏻
Note: Masks 😷 are worn at all times by the staff in the hotel which is great.

Fatih area is one of the best places to stay in as a tourist. Obelisk hotel is very newly renovated so everything looks fresh and super clean. Unlike other hotels in the area with tight room sizes this hotel offered more spacious rooms compared to others iv stayed in . The room prices are very good but are of course expected to go abit higher after corona is over and more tourists start to visit so I think now is a smart time to visit . The staff is very hospitable and friendly so please dont hesitate to ask them for help with things like ordering a taxi getting or asking for recommendations about places to visit. The only downside is that the included breakfast doesn't include much variety. But that wasn't a problem as there are many breakfast restaurants in the area that would offer great breakfast for cheap

From my initial booking with Burkan to our departure after a six night stay in this gorgeous small hotel we received nothing but friendliness and a can do attitude. Nothing was too much trouble and although all staff were wonderful Yunus was our go to man. With our group consisting of 10 family members including small children our questions were many and so many directions needed which were all answered in such a friendly manner. The hotel as mentioned in many previous reviews is in a fabulous position to visit all the historical sites and mosques and surrounded by many restaurants, shops and bazaars. Absolute perfect location. Our rooms were a pleasure to come back to after a day of sightseeing, fully air conditioned and very comfortable with tea/coffee making facilities and seating. Breakfast was lovely catering for everyone and I personally loved the scrambled eggs. Probably my one and only issue in the hotel was the toast maker, so slow, but having stayed in many hotels I think it is a common complaint. All 10 of us loved our stay at the Obelisk Hotel and would absolutely recommend it for a hassle free comfortable stay with fabulous staff and convenience to everything.

Obelisk Hotel was a fantastic choice.
Starting with its awesome location, right beneath Sultanahmet Mosque, it is a must pick for those who want to avoid up and downhills and get a comfortable walk to the top turistic attractions.
The hotel services were top. My family and I were super satisfied with the staff's friendly and professional approach, the hotel rooms and the food. Reception was so professional and helpful in any case we had an inquiry.
The cleaning service was quite good, everyday cleaning entailed a comfortable stay indeed. We admired the quality of breakfast service and the range of food choice. Having breakfast in the half open space was so calming. Likewise, rooms were bright, comfy and user friendly; no issues whatsoever with shower or any other bathroom facilities.
The neighborhood is quite good, both calm and safe.
Highly recommended!

We stayed 4 days at this beautiful and very new hotel. Staff was perfectly helpfull, very clean rooms, newly built hotel at the best location for Old Town in Istanbul.
Ask staff about what you'd like to do and they'll provide best plans, tours, restaurants etc. for you. Highly recommended!

This hotel is in an excellent location and staffed with amazing people. The area is surrounded by so many places to eat and is within walking distance to area attractions. The rooms were a tad small but very clean and the beds were super comfortable. The staff here are very helpful and considerate that they even surprised us with a birthday cake at breakfast for my sister's birthday! Breakfast was outstanding. Highly recommended.

One of the best locations in Istanbul. Next to Taksim Square with the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia. Our room was spacious and comfortable. What really made our stay was the excellent service provided by Yunus at the front desk. His recommendations for restaurants and Baths were excellent, he was very helpful in assuring we had the best experience. Yunus truly went the extra mile when we discovered at the airport that one of our passports was left in the room safe. Yunus immediately arranged for a taxi to take the passport to the airport and stayed in contact with us so we could locate the driver. We were able to make the flight.
We would definitely book this hotel again, best spot for tourism.

Fabulous location - lovely quiet room, comfy bed, fantastic shower, but very disappointing breakfast
This lovely little hotel is located in a super part of Istanbul so you can walk to the main tourist attractions. There are lots of restaurants and shops nearby.
The reception staff were very friendly and helpful.
The room was at the top - lovely to have our own outside space.
Bed was super comfy, the room warm and the shower one of the best we’ve ever had.
It would gave been nice if the doors were opened up in the breakfast room or tables outside too.
The breakfast was disappointing- some nice muesli, nuts, fruit etc would have been good but the chopped fruit was fizzy and we wondered how long other food had been presented?
Overall we loved the hotel ( although we might recommend the cleaner is a bit quieter in the mornings especially on her phone ), although she was friendly too.
Would def recommend

The hotel is located very close to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia and Topkapi Palace. The hotel staff is extremely professional and caring for the customer needs. Especially staff Zeki, Serkan were kind and helpful, they went extra mile for us. The chef Tolga also prepared vegetarian food for us which was a feeling like home. I highly recommend this hotel as it is accessible to lot of tourist places, good connectivity for tram and excellent service by all the staff.

The staff are kind and friendly at Obelisk Hotel. Lockman and his colleagues were very patient trying to teach us a few Turkish words and by the end of our 5-night stay, we were able to get a few thumbs up from them. We enjoyed the terrace seafood restaurant they recommended that gave us great views of the Bosphorus in one direction and the Blue Mosque in another direction at sunset. The hotel is just a few minutes’ walk from the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace, and we were even able to walk to the Grand Bazaar and use the tram. The breakfast was substantial and the room was comfortable and clean. Thank you for a lovely stay.
