Rooms are modest but overall Great value, location, helpful staff and nice breakfast in a sunny terrace. We stayed there twice because it is located on a quiet street despite being 2 blocks away from the Spice Market!!

Excellent location for those who like to live in the old part of Istanbul. People working there are friendly especially Bahadir who helped us activate our IstanbulKart with HES. Breakfast is humble, but satisfactory. Coffee is horrible. Overall nice experience.

We recently had a wonderful stay at the venue hotel. It is situation a 14 minute walk from the blue mosque, although there are hotels even closer the the city centre we preffered the peaceful and less crowded neighbourhood. The tram was an easy and convenient alternative to use. The rooms were clean and spacious enough. The hotel is a true 3 star and the only thing lacking is a pool and entertainment. For the money we paid I would give the property full marks. The cleaners cleaned the rooms and bathroom daily and replenished the towels. The breakfast was nice with hot and cold options. Although the varierty isn't of a 5 star it still had something for everyone including my picky children. The major plus point is the pleasant and helpful nature of the entire staff. Although the maintenance staff were in our room one day whilst we were away putting up a tv mounting unit , our valubles were always untouched and safe. The reception desk had a can do attitude and the staff memeber provided us with a milk carton in the room upon reuest as I couldnt find a supermarket. Snack shops,restaurants,clothing stores and mosques are all nearby. The souvenir market is just a few minutes walk away in the underpass accross a few streets close to the river and hafiz mustafa , the best dessert place is 3 minutes walk away. The wifi was excellent . Shopping is cheaper in this vacinity than the city centre and grand bazaar and the misri bazaar is a few minute walk if you turn right and then left

Cosy, great location and extremely clean
It was amazing.. I actually chose this place after seeing that despite the number of reviews being not so many but they were all great! Luckily that turned out to be true. It’s a small place, cosy, no reception, but rooms are spacious enough, no minibar. Bathroom nice and very clean, with a shower , no bathtub. Breakfast is in the terrace, nice place, small and cosy, simple food options but most tasted good.. No other restaurant, and no other food service available other than breakfast (no room service) Place is Very clean and the staff and hotel owner were all very kind, friendly and professional. It’s walkable distance from almost all city attractions, The Sirkeci station and Maramaray are just around the corner.. All in all, we’d happily stay there again in the future

The location is spot on and the hotel and the staffs are nice. Wi-Fi is really good. The breakfast is amazing. We are a couple with two kids, although we stayed in a triple room, the room was so small. Also, our fridge smelled really bad. The room service put a tea bag and nes coffee cap in the room only for the first two days.
