Location is excellent, near the blue Mosque, Haji Sophia, and several other musiums and sights. Hotel workers were very friendly and helpful. Rooms were OK not as expected despite paying for the delux rate, it took a few room changes to get what we signed up for after a few days. breakfast came with the room, ordinary and very basic. Management was […] not as freindly nor helpful. If looking for a 4 or 5 star hotel, I wouldn't recommend it. Read more

I was staying over in Istanbul for just a few hours. The check-in clerk was extremely accomodating when I chekced in after midnight and very gracious when I checked out at 4 am. Wonderful room, excellent location next to the old city.

Clean, nice folks running the place

We've checked in at 11PM and was pleasantly surprised to be upgraded to a suite for a night because they were fully booked. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The free breakfast was pretty good. The hotel is conveniently located and within walking distance to most sites like Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Tokapki Palance, Arrasta Bazaar, the Cistern, […] and the Grand Bazaar. Read more

Wonderful hotel perfectly placed in a beautiful city.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Small hotel, just upon check-in asked for a map and was conditioned to payment of $4,oo! They still use metal keys for rooms, slow elevator (4 floors), few options for (complimentary) breakfats. No waste basket in my room, and when requested they answered that it was because room was small ("use the one in bathroom"), noisy room, definitely hotel was […] not as expected. Staff wasn't prepared to answer about museums' schedules, etc. I felt I was in a 2 stars hotel. Great location just one block from Blue Mosque (Sultanahmet), safe zone for walking, commerce all around. Read more

It's a decent hotel with an elevator and convenient location. We picked this hotel because if we stayed 3 nights, we get a free pick up from the airport. We used this service for 1 person in our group and unfortunately the driver did not get there until 2 hours after my friend had arrived at the airport. This is unacceptable and they did not compensate […] us for the delay. If we knew how bad the airport pick-up service would be, we would not have stayed at this hotel as there were many great hotels offering the same service. Read more

Location of hotel was good for seeing the sultanmet area. stafff very helpful and hotel very clean.

Excellent price/value. Location, location, location. If you are on a budget this is an excellent choice. Roll out of bed and walk to all the major sites with money left over to splurge on food and shopping.

Genuine Expedia guest review

A perfect location. Excellent hotel at very reasonable price. Ahmet and Salih made me feel as if I were a guest in their home. My choice for all future visits.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I only stayed one night due to my flight schedule, but I would have stayed longer. I usually stay at a hotel near the airport when transiting through Istanbul, but this hotel is a much better option. It's convenient to get to via public transit - from the bottom level of the airport you can catch the red line train to Aksaray, transfer to the blue line […] (going to Kabatas) at the Zeytinburnu station, and then get off at the Sultanahmet station. It's about a 5-10 minute walk from there to the hotel. Total travel time is about 1-1.5 hours. There's not much to do around the airport so it's definitely worth the commute to the Uyan, which is in a great location. It's smack in the middle of the touristy part of town, but fun nonetheless. If you have more time to vacation and want to get an authentic Istanbul neighborhood experience, I'd suggest the Azure apartments in the Beyoglu/Cihangir district. My wife and I stayed there earlier in the year and we loved it. But anyway, the Uyan staff were friendly and gave me a free upgrade as the hotel was not full. All in all it worked out really well.

The I room got was so tiny and dreary, it was disappointing especially because I was told my room was upgraded from small to standard because I'm a Expedia elite member. If it was standard, how small is a small room?? One night I requested a wake-up call at 5AM next morning. It never happened. One person at the front desk was so nice and helpful, and […] apologized no one had come down to the reception by 5AM, but in the hotel business this must never happen. There was no alarm clock in the room, the TV cannot be used as an alarm, so if you have to get up early to catch an early flight for instance, what would happen? The great thing about this hotel is its location, especially if you are a first time traveler in Istanbul. All the attractions are very close. The breakfast was descent, starting at 7:30AM. I thought it was pretty late. One morning, coffee was not ready till 8AM. Or am I too used to a fast life? Read more

Just next to blue mosquee. Great view on terrace. Clean room

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Attractive and surprisingly quiet location just below the blue mosque. Very helpful and accommodating staff, especially since our son paid a surprise visit when they we were there and needed a bed. The room was very spacious and pleasant. Overall a great experience.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I was given, at no extra charge, an extremely large room -- probably the one that happened to be left when I arrived around 8pm. There was a king-sized bed that looked pretty broken down on both sides, and a twin bed which was fine. There was all the furniture you could need and a lot of space left over, and carpets on a wood floor. Lighting was dim. […] Electricity goes off when you take your key and leave the room, so recharging batteries must be done while you are in. The bathroom was well-equipped tho the shower doors leaked and the bathtub jets (!) did not work. Breakfast was fine, nothing special, with one of the tables of the breakfast room out on a balcony, nice for the Indian summer weather in late Sept. Some of the staff spoke English, some did not. Overall, I would say the hotel was "Fine" rather than "Pleasing". The location is excellent, and you can get there by public transportation from the airport but it takes an hour and then is hard to find (especially while towing your suitcase!). I returned to the airport with the hotel van, well worth $20 (15 euros). Read more

Lovely older hotel, within walking distance of everything. Very close to outdoor market, a lovely outdoor restaurant with Turkish entertainment, local mosques ( complete with 5 x daily call to prayer). Hotel itself very clean with friendly, helpful staff. Breakfast very adequate but not grandiose. Wi fi works well in all rooms. Small safe in all rooms […] also. Only downside is to remember to bring your own bottled water as all city water not safe. This is a great place for the money. Read more

Hotel Uyan has an ideal location. Literally, a few hundred yards from either the Blue Mosque or Hagia Sofia. The rooftop terrace is a gem. You can have your breakfast while enjoying the 360 degree view with the Sea of Marama in excellent sight. It is also perfect at night to unwind after a day of sight seeing. The rooms are fairly small but for the […] location and price it is well worth it. The Four Seasons is a block away but 4X the price! Read more

Nice clean and comfortable place in a stones throw from all the biggies in the old city.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel is within easy walking distance to everything in and around Sultanhamet and the Grand Bazaar. Lots of restaurants, cafes and bars just around the corner although it is a bit annoying with all of the solicitations to eat the the restaurants. The hotel room was nice, not exactly 4 stars - maybe 3. The lighting in the room was insufficient as […] there were not enough lamps or a central ceiling light. The TV stations were a limited particularly in light of what was available at the local cafes and restaurants. The Olympics were on yet I could only find them being shown on one channel and it was rather hit and miss. The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooftop has a great view of the monuments and the water but there was no one there to request another drink. Would I stay here again? Yes, primarily for the value and location. Read more

I purposely chose the small single room because of the price. It was what I expected and worth the cost. Great location not far from the small, high end, tourist Bazaar behind the Blue Mosque. Great location for major sites. Street was relatively quiet and the hotel was comfortable. Breakfast could be taken on the roof terrace with view of Hagia Sophia […] and Blue Mosque. I would certainly consider staying here again. Read more

Such a nice, sweet, quiet place. I read it was built in the 20's but has evidently been remodelled . The free breakfast buffet was great, a good combination of Turkish-European- American food. The staff was friendly and spoke sufficient English. The rooms are small but well-appointed with a minifridge and tv. There is wifi although you must enter your […] passport # to access it. There is no free shuttle to/from the airport as my tour guide book promised. Although it's in a very touristy area in Sultanahmet, cab drivers had a hard time finding it. Telling them it's right around the corner from the Four Seasons might help. There's a shortcut from the hotel to the Blue Mosque area which is easy to miss. Read more

Best part of the hotel is the location -it's located At the centre of Sultanahmet. Other than that: - this would not be a more than 2 star - I stayed with family for 5 nights, they never changed the bed sheets in 5 days; not sure if they would change if a new guest would check in - the toilet was not so clean - I had problem with jacuzzi - they took […] 4 hours to fix; I had a technician in my room for few hours; but no one from the hotel botherd to say a 'sorry for inconvenience' - the receptionist gave me a 'why are you here' look when I reached the hotel in the first day - breakfast is open till 10.00 am but with little food left after 9.00am Read more

I was duly warned that my room would be small. Having been prepared, I found the room more than adequate for my needs.

We decided to visit Istanbul during Chinese New Year which was definitely out of season. Although many facilities were closed, it meant no crowds and Hagia Sofia without teh scaffolding was a mind blower. We arrived at 6:30 am after a 5 am touchdown and had taken the precaution of paying an extra night so we could shower and sleep before ventruing out […] of fish lunch at Kumpaki. Extra night was very affordable. We were prompted recived an dushered into our room _ getting one large enough and with some view needed a change. We had a most enjoyable 4 nights stay and the only problem was breakfast only started at 7:30 whereas we needed to start earlier for trips to Edirne and Bursa. Real bargain and the reception spoke good English. Read more

This hotel is right by all the main tourist attractions, blue mosque etc. Therefore in good walking distance from all the sites. Very clean, a bit worn. I wasn't expecting a 5 star hotel so this did not bother me. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good.

We stayed simply because we were returning to Turkey on New Year's Eve and wanted one night in Istanbul. This hotel is just off the line between Hagia Sofia and the Blue Mosque.

Perfect location. The standard room was teeny tiny but we were not there to spend time in the room so that was OK. Rooftop breakfast with your average European breads etc plus eggs.

I took my family (2 adults and 2 kids) for a week and stayed in the hotel. In general the service was exceptional and very courteous.
