"The hotel was really nice, clean and almost brand-new. The most comfiest beds, best staff members, very nice environment with cats, and a delicious breakfast by Melahat.
Mert took care of any need and so did Ahmet & Eren, no matter what time of the day or night it was. Go to this hotel, it is SOO worth it."
"Staff were amazing - so friendly, informative and willing to assist. Amazing breakfast daily, full Turkish offering to sit back and enjoy in the Terrace. Great location, convenient to all major attractions."

"Adjacent to Sophia Hagia and Blue Mosques allows an early start to visit them when quiet in the morning.
Perfectly located for other attractions and public transport by tram. "
"Stayed in December
Staff are excellent and lean over backwards to help.
Accommodation I was everything required and was qyiet even though it’s a busy location with lots of good bars and restaurants to choose from.
Location is fantastic for all the big tourist sites, no more than 15 minutes even for pier for Bosporus cruises or the Topkapi palace.
Would be my first choice when I return to Istanbul."

10/10 Excellent
"Loved the accommodation, the staff was overly polite and helpful. Will come back."
"I had a truly enjoyable stay at Seven Hills. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the warm and attentive service. A huge thank you to Sinan, Fatima, and the wonderful cleaning staff—each one of them went out of their way to make me feel welcome and cared for.
My room was spacious, spotless, and well air-conditioned, providing a cool and quiet retreat even in the heart of bustling Sultanahmet. Despite the lively surroundings, the hotel itself was peaceful and quiet, ideal for resting after a day of exploring.
The location is absolutely unbeatable—just a few steps from the Blue Mosque and within walking distance of all the major historic sites. For those arriving by car, don’t worry about parking—the concierge handled the on-site parking beautifully, making the process effortless.
The only downside during my stay was the unreliable internet connection, which frequently dropped and required repeated logins. This was a bit inconvenient, especially if you need consistent access.
That said, the overall experience at Seven Hills was fantastic. I would gladly stay again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Istanbul for the service, comfort, and unbeatable location."

"Amazing stay in a beautiful hotel, consisting of individual mansions so unique. Our 2 rooms were at the top of one and very spacious. Really comfortable. Staff very friendly and helpful. "
"Enjoyable stay and very convenient to many of the main attractions. Shopping and many eateries nearby.
Arrived to a room which overlooked a building site so was offered a couple of choices for a room change which was very comfortable. Breakfast was very pleasant especially as there’s the option to sit outside on the restaurant terrace with sea views.
Hope to return soon."
