The Hotel Nena is in a wonderful location for touring all the main sites in Istanbul. There is no need for a guide when you are this close to everything. Breakfast on the rooftop terrace was great - lots of choices of things to eat. The hotel staff were very welcoming and helpful.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I've stayed at numerous hotels, many of them of the highest quality. This was the most impressive I've experienced as of yet. This was a luxury experience at a budget price. I don't think the people at Hotel Nene realize how much more they can be charging. The staff waits on you hand and foot, manage all of your needs and arrangements, are honest and […] friendly. The rooms are beautifully appointed, it included a free breakfast (delicious) and snack reception each night (modest but tasty) both of which take place on the top floor terrace with one of the most amazing views in the old city. I kept expecting surprise charges to show up but they never did. It made the city twice and enjoyable. Dollar for dollar, this was the best hotel I've ever stayed in. Read more

The hotel was clean, walking distance from many of Istanbul's major attractions, as well as located in a safe neighborhood. More importantly, the hotel staff was so hospitable. They were so friendly and even gave me a box of Turkish sweets to bring home. Hotel Nena deserves more than 5 stars!

My husband and I were received by the hotel staff at the door. We immediately felt we were in good hands and safety. The location is excellent. Walking distance to Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, Topaki, Grand Bazzar, Basilica Cistern. The tram stop (Sultanahmet) was right there. The only negative is that in the morning is a little bit noisy (open and closing […] doors, morning trafffic noise) Nevertheless, this doesn't bother us. We could rest and enjoy our room. Breakfast buffet was excellent with a great view of Hagia Sofia and Blue Mosque, a great staff. Read more

Nena is a fabulous hotel -- very clean and comfortable with nice decor. The rooms are small by US standard, but standard by European standards. The location is ideal -- just a 5 minute walk from the Hagia Sophia in one direction, and a 5 minute walk from the Grand Bazaar in the other. You can't beat the neighborhood! Another highlight is breakfast […] -- the breakfast room has a spectacular view of Istanbul. You'll not want to miss breakfast, just to take advantage of the view! And the food is quite excellent as well. However, the best reason to stay at Nena is the staff. They are incredibly sweet and helpful, and all knew my name from the minute I walked in the door. I never felt like 'just another guest,' and felt like a VIP throughout my stay. Unfortunately, my luggage didn't show up at the airport, but the Nena staff called on my behalf every few hours for a day and a half until finally appearing at my door with my long lost luggage. They really went above and beyond to take care of my every need. Great hotel. Thanks, Nena! Read more

The Hotel Nena is a perfect location to see the sights if you have a short time in Instanbul. We walked to the majority of sights. The rooftop restaurant has a dramatic view of the old city and the bridge after dark. Room was clean and satisfactory for our short stay. Mufstafa, at the front desk, was very, very helpful in providing directions around […] the area and in arranging transpoprtation. Read more

Just steps from the Blue Mosque stop on the tram line with an unsurpassed view from the breakfast room. An excellent older hotel in excellent condition with a very accomodating staff. We had a great stay and would certainly stay here again.

The Hotel Nena in Istanbul Turkey is simply fabulous!!! Having traveled the US, Europe, South America and The Caribbean I can honestly say that I was very impressed with the Hotel Nena. The hotel is centrally located in Istanbul within walking distance to all major sites, eg Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, Spice Market, Column of Constantine, Spice Market. […] The hotel occupies a space close to several other hotels, a rug store and souveneir shops are also nearby. The Hotel Nena stands out among the rest. Upon arrival you are greeted by eager, professional staff who take your luggage and offer you a choice of welcome Turkish Coffee or Tea. I recommend the Tea. If you are a budget traveller like me, i suggest taking the public tram from the airport to the hotel. From airport you pay TL 1.75 to Zentanburm tram stop. At this stop you pay another TL 1.75 to get to Sultanhamet tram stop, the hotel is located two block from tram stop. As a landmark you will first pass Ramos Gift Shop, another one of my recommendations....stop and ask for directions if yopu must. The rooms at the Hotel Nena are well decorated, clean, and comfortable, the beds are simply inviting and firm. The buffet breakfast is just as displayed in Ad and very delicious ... the view of the Blue Mosque is Breath taking. Staff displays exceptional hospitality and warmth especially Ahmed, He is a wonderful local reference. All in all I highly recommend the Hotel Nena in Istanbul and I do plan to return. Thanks for a wonderful stay!!! Read more

This hotel was very convenient to many places. The Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, The Grand Bazaar and the Spice Market were all within blocks of the hotel. Very conveniently located to public transportation (2 blocks) which made for easy and inexpensive transport from the airport to the hotel. The staff was very friendly and explained things around the […] hotel upon arrival with welcome Turkish coffee. The rooms were very clean and of adequate size. The breakfast buffet was excellent offering some western dishes along with many Turkish dishes. I was truly impressed. The breakfast is served upstairs with a terrace sitting overlooking the Blue Mosque and the water. There is many things to see here in Istanbul and many of them are right there by the hotel. There is also a very nice hammam 1 block away that is very clean and of great price. Read more

I read reports of the A/C not working properly that was not the case for us. We actually got very cold enough to use a second blanket.. just the way I like it being from Florida originally and then going through the hot Manhattan summers. Hotel Nena had excellent service and teh hotel was nice and clean.. the roof top restaurant / bar had great views […] of the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sophia.. it is 20 meters from the Blue Tram line which can get you pretty much anywhere you would like to see. This is a wonderful Boutique Hotel and i would recommend Hotel Nena to everyone... Read more

Great choice for a couple of nights in Istanbul. Perfect location and very comfortable.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Don't hesitate to stay in Hotel Nena! Old world elegance just 50 feet from the trolley line, three blocks from Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, and three blocks from the Grand Bazaar in the other direction. So many choices for food, drink, and pastries, I was almost dizzy. The breakfast buffet on the rooftop was superb only to be outdone by the view […] of the Blue Mosque and Bosporus. The staff was perfectly charming and helpful, with the bedding superb, ok, the room was small but who's staying in the room when you're in Istanbul! Read more

A memorable experience. At check in informed of an upgrade and the staff continued to be helpful and friendly. Very clean, amenities such as Dining Room on top floor impressive. Food great. Overlooked the Blue Mosque. The location was close to the sights of the Old City and public trams.

This hotel was ideal in all ways: friendly, efficient staff; comfortable and clean room; ensuite with excellent shower; good food; perfect location for historic sites and access to tram and best of all the view over the Blue Mosque from the Restaurant.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Enjoyed staying at the Hotel Nena very close to the tram which basically gets you to all the popuar sites, plus it's also very short walking distance to the Blue Mosque and Hagea Sofia and Grand Bizzare. plenty of restuarants to choose from all just a stones throw away. The staff were very kind and helpfull. Breakfast both turkish and western was tasty […] and substantial. the room was a bit small though, with a support column that was in the way.but understand that's how it can be with some of these buildings in the old part of town.

We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Nena. The staff was very friendly and courteous, they were extremely helpful and accomodating. The rooms were slightly smaller but very neat and tidy. The roof top restaurant had a great view of the Blue mosque and the Haga Sophia. We would definitely recomment Hotel Nena to our friends.

Genuine Expedia guest review

My wife and I have visited Istanbul many times and Hotel Nena is certainly on the list of hotels we would book again. It is in an ideal location, close to a tram stop, at sultanahmed and close to the Grand Bazaar. Breakfast was good, they had variety, and have a great view of the Blue Mosque & Hagia Sophia. The staff were great and speak and understand […] English well. IF this hotel is not fully booked, book it! Read more

Central location for sightseeing, withing 500 metres of all the key sights. Beside the tramline, so convenient for longer journeys, including to/from airport (although required transfer between tram/metro stations could be awkward for less mobile people or if lots of luggage). Nice, safe area. Overall hotel experience very positive. Friendly, helpful […] staff. Beautiful view of Blue Mosque from restaurant. Breakfast and dinner were both ok but have scope for improvement. Would definitely stay again. Read more

路面電車の駅から歩いてすぐなので、荷物をもっていてもすごく便利。フロントの人たちはとても親切でいろんな情報を最初に教えてくれた。部屋はスーツケースが２つ広げられるちょうど良い広さ。湯沸かし器があるので珈琲、紅茶が部屋で楽しめる。バスタブはちいさいのですが、ハマム？のようにちょこんとこしかける段差があり、なぜか栓がなかったので足の裏でふさいでためていました（笑）すわってシャワーできるので楽だった。 朝食はとても種類が多くて毎日楽しかった。眺めも良くて、ブルーモスクがきれいに見える。テラスでとることもできる。 しいていうならば、清掃の人の少々備品の補充が行き届いてなくて、最初の日以降、いつも紅茶しか追加してくれなかった。またごみがおきっぱなしのときもあった。しかし全体的によい印象で、また次の機会 […] もここに泊まりたいとおもいました。 Read more

Hotel Nena was geweldig , hartelijk ontvangst met uitgebreide uitleg over de stad , het hotel licht zeer centraal , 10 min lopen van de blauwe moskee,10 min lopen van de bazaar 15 min lopen van het topkapi paleis.Een schitterend dak terras, waar je uit kijkt op de blauwe moskee,hier is ook de ontbijt zaal met een uitgebreid ontbijt. De kamers zijn zeer […] schoon en niets ontbreekt,enige min puntje is dat er in de economie kamer weinig frisse lucht binnen kwam, je kan de raam wel open zetten maar dan kijk je in een soort afgesloten binnen plaats.Maar verder een dikke 10 voor dit hotel Read more

Temizlik kusursuz, oda gayet konforlu, kahvaltı süper, kahvaltı sırasında manzara harika, sultanahmet metro durağına çok yakın, oradan hereyere rahatça ulaştık, personel ilgili ve yardımsever, fiyatına kıyasla süper bir hizmet aldığımızı düşünüyorum. Özellikle resepsiyondaki arkadaşları hiçbirini ayırt etmeden tebrik ederim.

SUPER HOTEL TRES BIEN SITUE DANS QUARTIER SULTANAHMET, TRAMWAY A PROXIMITE ET A 300 M DU GRAND BAZAR.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Hotel Nena ligt vlakbij de bekende moskeeën, paleis etc. maar om de hoek vind je vele restaurants waar wij in ieder geval heerlijk gegeten hebben. Ook de tram vind je om de hoek. Vriendelijke mensen in het hotel. Iedere ochtend wordt er een prima ontbijt geserveerd, ze zijn alleen niet snel met afruimen van tafels en opnieuw dekken voor volgende gasten. […] Daar hebben we iedere ochtend om moeten vragen. Dat is het enige negatieve dat ik kan bedenken ! Read more

Nice Hotel. 5 min walk away to Hagia Sophia. Nice view to the sea from the roof terrace.

Un hôtel très propre et très bien situé dans sultanahmet, le seul reproche est au niveau de la taille de la chambre qui était assez petite...

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Notre séjour à l'hotel Nena s'est admirablement bien déroulé! Nous n'avons que des compliments à faire au sujet de ce charmant hotel. Tout d'abord il est idéalement situé, au coeur de Sultanahmet, c'est-à-dire à 5 min à pied de Sainte-sophie, Mosquée Bleue et Palais de Topkapi et à 2 min de l'arret de tram, pratique notamment pour se rendre de l'autre […] coté du pont de Galata, dans la ville moderne et au palais de Dolmabahce entre autres. L'hotel en lui-meme est très joli, agrémenté d'une belle facade bien rutilante et un lobby accueillant. Les chambres elles aussi sont charmantes, décorées avec gout et pratiques. Nous sommes très contentes car nous avions demandé des chambres calmes, ne donnant pas sur la rue et notre souhait a été scrupuleusement respecté! Le petit déjeuner était également un pur moment de joie car nous le prenions sur l'agréable terrasse du restaurant de l'hotel qui dispose d'une vue imprenable sur le Bosphore, sainte Sophie, Topkapi, etc! Enfin, tout le personnel de l'hotel, aussi bien les réceptionnistes, femmes de chambres et personnel du restaurant, sont très serviables et compétents. Je ne vois aucun aspect négatif à mentionner, notre séjour dans cet hotel situé dans une des plus belles villes au monde restera inoubliable! Read more

In pieno centro a pochi passi da tutte le attrazioni di Istanbul, un hotel davvero carino, con un personale cordialissimo, gentile e davvero super disponibile, hanno prenotato per noi i migliori ristoranti (lonely planet) e ci hanno consigliato sempre come non "cedere" ai venditori furbetti o ai taxi che "gonfiano" i prezzi. Ottima la colazione con […] una vista stupenda su Hagia Sophia e Moschea Blu. Punto perfetto per chi ha pochi giorni e vuole visitare tutto, la maggior parte delle cose da vedere le potete raggiungere a piedi. I camerieri del bar sono davvero super gentili. Consigliatissimo!

Genuine Expedia guest review

とにかくオーナーさんが面白くてジョーク連発。英語が流暢。 また、スタッフさんの指導も行き届いており、ともて快適に過ごす事ができました。 気持ち狭く感じましたが、室内は清潔でシャワーも文句なし。 朝食は、ボスポラス海峡を望んでの素晴らしい景色と共に楽しむことができました。 立地条件もよく、グランバザール・ブルーモスク・トプカプ宮殿まで全て徒歩圏内でした。 ホテル近くのお土産屋さんも値段交渉に快く応じてくれます。周辺は賑やかで、レストランもいくつか隣接していました。 ただし、エクスペディアさん上では４つ星☆ホテルとして紹介されていましたが、実際のホテルの看板には３つ星☆のマークが。 値段も手ごろでこれだけのサービスでしたから問題はありませんが、エクスペディアさんには正しい情報を期待したいです。
