Genuine Expedia guest review

During my recent business trip to Istanbul, I stayed in 6 different hotels and Hotel Mina was the best. It's location is close to the train, bazaar and Blue Mosque. The reception staff are knowledgeable and helpful. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, clean and well maintained. The rooftop breakfast room offers a great view from every direction. The […] internet functioned well. My only suggestion would be to offer more TV channels. Read more

Mina was a great place to stay. It was on a nice street surrounded by many cafes and shops, and it was close to the the tram line and many key sites. We especially liked the rooftop terrace with outstanding view to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, many other mosques, the Bosporus and lots of the city. Breathtaking views! The room was small by western […] standards, but very comfortable. Recommend some maintenance with shower fixtures. Thanks for the good time! Read more

Hotel was expensive for what it was. Room had bad odor and bathroom was very small as was the room. Bathroom door hit sink and made a very loud noise when openning and closing. Hotel management was not helpful to us or other guests. We tried to leave a day early but the manager would not give us a day credit with hotels.com. I would not recommend this […] hotel to anyone.

This hotel was really nice. It has a lot of atmosphere and the view from the roof bar/restaurant is breathtaking. The staff was friendly and accomodating, the rooms were clean and well maintained. There AC worked, there was a bathtub and plenty of hot water. The wireless internet really only worked in hte lobby or the restaurant. Location was very  […] convenient. Read more

This was my 3rd visit to Istanbul and my favorite hotel. Great location in easy walking distance to Grand Bazaar, KumKopi fish markets, Suleymani, Little Aya Sofia, and Sokulu Mosques, in addtion to the more traditional tourist sites of Topkaki Palace, Blue Mosque and of course Hagia Sophia. Also near two good Turkish Bath houses and one block from […] the Tram. Hotel stafff were very friendly and helpful, and didn't try to sell me tours or dinner shows! Breakfast was typical Turkish fare enjoyed with a dramatic view of the Blue Mosque, Sea of Marmara, and Constantine's Column. One flight up from the restaurant is the terrace with a panoraminc view of Istanbul. Small but very nicely appointed room. Incredibly well-priced and comfortable for a 6 night stay. Read more

We stayed at Mina Hotel & it was a very pleasurable experience, which started from the arrival to the airport. We ordered an airport transfer with Mina and the driver patiently waited for 2 hours as our flight was delayed. We were taken to the hotel in a spacious, cream color leather-seats van. As we entered the lobby, the receptionist greeted us by […] name (they coordinated with the driver arrival of guests). Small gesture but it showed attention to detail. We received our keys, city tour tips & map and were escorted to the room without delay. The staff was always helpful and ready to answer any questions. The room was nice - it looks exactly as shown it on hotel website, no suprises here. Mina has very comfortable beds and very soft bedding. The bathroom had a bathtub and complimentary toiletries, towels and sheets were changed daily. The restaurant on the 6th floor is rather small in size, but provides a spectacular view of the Bosphorus and decent breakfast selection. The rooftop terrace was also lovely place to enjoy breakfast at, however, beware of seaguls! If you leave your plate to go get smth from the restaurant again, you may come back to a plate missing some sausage! The terrace, against our expectations, was rather big - it went all around the roof of the hotel building. The view was wonderful The hotel is conveniently located at the Sultanahmet region of Istanbul and all the major tourist attractions were basically 5-10 minutes walking away. Read more

We spent three nights here as a base to explore sultanshamet and enjoyed the mina. Nice central location near tram, friendly staff, nice morning coffee and a fantastic view of the blue mosque on at the breakfast room near the roof. Rooms were on the small side, bathroom even smaller but clean and efficient.

Really I usually do not comment anything regarding my trips, but this hotel is exceptionally different, perfect location, nice, clean rooms, the breakfast is wonderful and most of all very helpful and friendly staff, I will definitely go back to this hotel and recommend to everyone.

We were two students traveling and after three days of sightseeing and hostels, we wanted one night of a bit of luxury. It was a rainy day and we arrived two hours prior to check-in. The concierge greeted us warmly, looked up our reservation and said it would be no problem accommodating us immediately. All the staff was very friendly, the free breakfast […] buffet was excellent, and the room was clean and comfortable (with windows that open!). It rained on our last day and after spending the morning outside, we didn't have energy for more. Although we had already checked-out, they did not mind that we sat in the lobby talking and using the Internet for almost three hours. They even offered us tea free of charge. I would absolutely recommend this hotel to others. Read more

The hotel was really beyond my expectations. Extremely friendly staff,clean rooms,perfect service ( i would say 5 star service).Breakfast was reach and was offered in a spacious room overviewing Marmara sea,but dinner quality very average.Eather way service was perfect.I think I ll stay there again in a future visit to Istanbul.

Our stay at this hotel was on September 4, 2010. The manager was very friendly and helpful. We asked him by email to arrange our pickup at the airport and transfer to the hotel. (The cost of the transfer was added to our hotel bill.) When we arrived at the hotel, he checked us in quickly and the bellhop helped us with our luggage to the room and showed […] us how everything worked. The hotel is "cute as a button". The room was small, but lovely and very comfortable, clean and quiet. They also have a roof-top restaurant with beautiful views of the Aya Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkopi, and the Bosporus. We enjoyed a lovely dinner at the rooftop restaurant and watched the sunset. Breakfast the next morning was included and was very nice. The hotel is conveniently located in old Istanbul and is within a 5 minute walking distance of the Blue Mosque, Hippadrome, Aya Sophia, Grand Bazaar, and underground Cistern. The manager provided us with a map and directions to visit the sites. When it was time to leave, the manager called a taxi and instructed the driver to take us to the cruise port. The manager told us how much the taxi would be so we wouldn't be taken advantage of by an unscrupulous driver. Although we only stayed one night, we were sorry that we had not elected to stay longer. We will definitely choose this hotel again if we visit Istanbul in the future. Read more

An excellent hotel in a great location in the Sultanahmet area of Istanbul. The rooms are quaint and clean and not necessarily up to some American standards but perfect for us who travel constantly. The breakfast was excellent and the staff quite accommodating. The rooftop terrace has a breathtaking view which was one of the reasons that we chose to […] stay here with 4 other couples. Stay away from lunch or dinner dining as it is quite poor at best. The management has heard this same statement from many and is in the process of changing the chef and menu to upgrade the dining experience. It is close to most of the major attractions and within walking distance to the Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Cistern, Hippodrome, Grand Bazaar, Spice Bazaar, Bosphorus, etc. The front desk is always helpful and all speak very good English.

i was very pleased with my stay at the Mina Hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel offers free breakfast in the morning on the top floor which offers a great view Istanbul and the sea, as well as a generous display of food and drinks. The Hotels location is perfect. It's less than a 10 min walk to the Hagia Sofia and Blue Mosque […] as well as other attractions. It's right in the heart of Old Istanbul. The hotel and the rooms are a bit small, however, they are clean and the price is very fair for what you get. They also offer free internet. There is a rooftop bar and restaurant in the hotel, but there is plenty of good food right down the street, specifically a small restaurant right next to the hotel which makes great "pancakes"--almost like crepes and other traditional Turkish food. All in all, it was a great stay and i would highly recommend it. Read more

Hotel was in a decent area, short walk to the tram for easy access to all the sites of Istanbul and a short walk to the Blue Mosque, Aya Sofia, Hippodrome & Basilica Cistern. Main complaint was the room, it was quite small and also had a view of the stairs and elevator. Made relaxing in the hotel impossible. When booking, insist on a room with a window […] with an outside view. The hotel did have a rooftop terrace with a viw over the sea of marmaras and the blue mosque, but it was very hot up there! The staff were friendy and helpful, especially when giving advice on getting to the airport (in fact the traqm and train was not much ore difficult than taking a taxi there but much much cheaper!)

The hotel is a very nice place in a very good location. The rooms were a bit small but that's what to be expected for the small hotels in the historical part of Istanbul. The free breakfast was good but the dinner upstairs in the terrace was not very good. Not much of selection. The only big complaint I have about the hotel is that their internet was […] horrible. They have the internet modems, one on each floor. So if you get a room that is far from that modem, your internet won't work. We were first put in one room that was close and the internet was good. Later they moved us to another room, which we requested, and the room was further away and we couldn't get any internet. Also, the air condition unit in that same room didn't work. But another family member had another room, closer to the modem (so his internet connection was good) and his a/c worked well. Read more

really enjoyed the mina, great location, receptionists very helpful (good english) great views from top bar on the roof, rooms just on the small side but spent so little time in there was no problem but the shower was possibly the best i have ever had. highly recommended.

Located in the heart of Sultanhamet near the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. The view from the roof is breathtaking. Also very close to Topkapi and the Cistern and numerous tour agencies, cafes and restaurants. Hotel service is excellent. They can arrange tours or find you a better deal. The breakfast buffet is also more than adequate. The only negative […] was the gym. It consists of two aerobic machines and some small free weights. Read more

Arranged for a cab to pick us up at the airport even at 2AM. Very courteous staff at the reception as well as at the restaurants. The Rooftop bar has amazing views of the Blue Mosque as well as the Bosphorus bridge (recommended at night time). The hotel is clean, centrally located to all major attractions. We walked everywhere (including the Galata […] Tower!) from this location. The trams are a minute away to get to Taksim square. We were very pleased with the experience and will definitely stay here when we visit the next time. Read more

Very courteous and friendly staff and the most comfortable hotel bed I've slept in for a long time. Central Sultanahmet location and double glazed so not much outside noise could be heard from a very noisy city. Breakfast was sufficient, although had to pay extra for fresh juice and a wider cooked selection. Room was on the small side with not much […] storgae, but just about sufficient for our 3 night stay. Would recommend for the price. Read more

Was a great hotel, small rooms but very clean and quiet. There was a mini bar but no tea/coffee facilities in the room. Great location, 1 street off the main drag and the dining room and roof terrace have great sea views. Breakfast was quite nice and fresh.

Front desk and staff were good Room was very small - cramped even. Breakfast was good and the view from there was great. Location was excellent. They really need to do something about the restaurant. It was not good, a place one only goes once.

Good hotel for the price and location. Not really 4 star, more like 3 - 3.5 star.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Das Hotel ist ein kleines Etablissement mitten in der Altstadt von Istanbul. Empfang und Personal sind freundlich und hilfsbereit. Unser Zimmer war ziemlich klein und hatte nur ein Fenster mit Blick auf den Aufzug und die Treppe (kein Tageslicht). Entsprechend laut ist es, wenn diese Treppe benutzt wird. Bei geschlossenem Fenster bleibt nur die Nutzung […] der Klimaanlage, um eine entsprechende Raumtemperatur zu erzeugen. Das Servicepersonal für die Reinigung der Zimmer war sehr ordentlich und korrekt. Das Frühstück entspricht nicht ganz dem Standard eines 4 Sterne Hotels in Deutschland und war wenig abwechslungsreich. Das Personal dort eher unmotiviert, wenn es um das Nachfüllen des Büffets oder das Nachdecken der Tische ging. Da das Hotel in unmittelbarere Nähe der Highlights von Istanbul - wie Blaue Moschee, Hagia Sophia, Hippodrom oder Topkapi Palast - liegt, ist es jedoch empfehlenswert. Read more

Zimmer mit türkischem Flair. Bad war sehr sauber. Sensationelle Dachterrase mit einem tollen Blick auf Istanbul (allein deshalb lohnenswert dort hin zu gehen). Frühstück war sehr gut. Die Lage des Hotels ist super (fünf Minuten bis zur blauen Moschee zu Fuß). Absolut empfehlenswert.

Wir waren über Ostern von Gründonnerstagabend bis Ostermontag in Istanbul. Das Hotel Mina liegt in ruhiger Straße und trotzdehm sehr günstig in fußläufiger Nähe zur Hauptstraße nördlich zur Tramlinien Çemberlitaş und östlich zu Sultanahmed. Wir haben in zwei Twin-Bed-Rooms gewohnt, die zwar jeweils ein Fenster hatten, die aber direkt auf die nächste […] Hauswand führten, die nur ungefähr 40 Zentimeter entfernt war, dadurch war eine richtige Frischluftzufuhr nicht gegeben, was zur Folge hatte, dass es im Zimmer ständig muffig gerochen hat. Das Zimmer hatte durch die davor liegende Hauswand keinen Lichteinfall und war sehr dunkel, aber da wir in den Zimmern lediglich die Nacht zum Schlafen verbracht haben, empfanden wir das nicht so gravierend. Die Sauberkeit in den Zimmern war gut, frische Bettwäsche nach jeweils zwei Tagen, täglich frische Handtücher und das Badezimmer mit einer neuen gefliesten Duschkabine wirkte frisch saniert und renoviert. Das Frühstück war ausreichend, aber nicht Besonderes und auch nichts Abwechslungsreiches. Die Aussicht im Frühstücksraum ist aber wirklich schön und macht wirklich Lust, die Stadt zu entdecken. Das Hotelpersonal war wirklich hervorragend, sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und kompetent. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis war in Ordnung. Read more

unica nota positiva che è al centro...purtroppo mi aspettavo molto di meglio

Genuine Expedia guest review

スルタンアフメット駅と書いてありましたが、坂道があるのでチェンベルリタシュ駅の方が利用しやすかったです。 こぢんまりとした部屋は機能的。セーフティボックスもあり、クローゼットもあるので十分過ごしやすいです。 バスルームはガラス窓付なのでシャワーカーテンのように気にしてシャワーを浴びる必要がないので快適です。 水圧も十分。可動式シャワーなので便利です。 スーパー、レストラン、ロカンタス、雑貨屋、お土産屋が近くにあり、ブルーモスクは坂を下って徒歩3分。 部屋は少々狭いですが非常に便利な立地のホテルです。 帰りは石畳の坂道なので、ホテル送迎片道40TLを利用するのも良いと思います。

Das Hotel liegt für Kultur-Touris ideal: Nahe den Hauptsehenswürdigkeiten in der Istanbuler Altstadt, zudem ist es wegen der nahen Straßenbahn verkehrstechnisch sehr gut angebunden. Besonders gefiel uns die tolle Aussicht von der Dachterrasse, beim Frühstück (vielseitiges und qualitätvolles Buffet) oder Abends bei einem Glas Tee. Unser Zimmer war sehr […] sauber, hatte aber leider kein Außenfenster, war eng und die Betten waren reichlich kurz.

La posizione dell'Hotel è felicissima: 5 min. dal Gran Bazar, 5 minuti dall'Ippodrmo e dalla Moschea Blu, 10 min da Agja Sofhia e Topkapi, il tutto passeggiando.

海外のホテルにはずいぶん宿泊しましたがこのホテルは間違いなく上位に入ります。 ロケーションはブルーモスク、徒歩3分。アヤソフィア、トプカプ宮殿、地下宮殿も徒歩圏内です。トラムもsultanahmet駅から5分ぐらいですが途中が賑やかな通りですので 5分なんてアッという間です。治安も良い感じです。1分ぐらいのところにスーパーがあります。食品から石鹸まで何でも置いてます。朝食も普通に良く、部屋も広く清潔です。 アメニティも問題ありません。ドライアーが2分使うと一端使用不能になりますが過熱しないようにしていると思われます。1分ぐらい経つとまた使えます。 何より良いのはホテルスタッフの皆さんが全員フレンドリーだったことです。 もう1度イスタンブールを訪ねるなら必ずミーナホテルにします。

J'ai séjourné 4 jours dans cet hôtel. L'hôtel est très bien situé dans le quartier de Sultahnamet, ce qui permet de se rendre à pied dans les principaux sites touristiques (grand bazar d'un côté et Ste Sophie, Mosquée Bleue, Palais de Topkapi de l'autre). Il est à 2 pas du tramway qui peut être utilisé pour explorer les autres quartiers de la ville. […] Malgré cette situation exceptionnelle, l'hôtel est très calme, ce qui permet de bien se reposer. Je recommande la terrasse située au dernier étage pour déjeuner, dîner ou prendre un verre: la vue sur la mer de Marmara et la Mosquée Bleue y est à couper le souffle. Le personnel de cet hôtel est très serviable et saura parfaitement vous renseigner sur les monuments à visiter et itinéraires à suivre lors de votre séjour. Tout le monde parle bien anglais, ce qui est suffisamment rare à Istanbul pour être souligné. Seul bémol de mon séjour: ma chambre (704) était située au rez-de-chaussée avec vue directe sur le mur de l'immeuble d'à côté. Il est donc impératif de demander une chambre dans les étages, si possible donnant sur la rue. Attention: les chambres de cet hôtel semblent être assez petites d'après ce que j'ai entendu des autres occupants (la mienne était assez vaste mais, à nouveau, avec une vue très déplaisante sur le mur d'à côté).

Käytössämme oli huone pohjakerroksessa. Huoneessa sinänsä ei ollut mitään moitittavaa paitsi se, että sieltä ei nähnyt minnekään. Huoneessa oli ikkuna,josta oli näkymä jonkinlaiseen kuiluun, ja se oli hieman ahdistavaa. Mielestäni huonetta ei pitäisi käyttää lainkaan hotellihuoneena, vaan kuten viereinenkin huone, mikä oli hotellin joko varastona tai […] jonkinlaisena toimistohuoneena. Mitään muuta miinusta ei hotellista löytynyt. Aamiaishuoneesta ja sen yläpuolella olevalta terassilta (ravintolatiloina) oli erittäin upeat näkymät siniselle moskeijalle ja merelle. Read more
