I enjoyed a lot my stay in the hotel , the staff have been so kind and so helpful , specially the public relation department , been upgraded because of some construction around that area . the hotel is near by all the historical sites , no need for any kind of transport . Lovely place to stay in ....

Close to everything. The room is nicely decorated with balcony. The hotel staffs speak good English and generally speaking, friendly. The hotel locates in the old town while there are a bit city construction work going on while we were staying there.

Nice place, clean and comfortable; great breakfast, good location for visiting historic places. However, our first night was terrible due to a construction work that went near the hotel all night along and was very loud. Next morning I asked for another room and that was a big difference, so we could rest. If you are noise sensitive make sure you ask […] for the side of the building not facing the construction.

This hotel is right in the center of almost every tourist attraction in Istanbul. It is a very easy walk to Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, the Grand Bazar, and the Bosphorus. The "blue" tram line also runs less than a block away from the Hotel, making it easy to jump over to Taksim Square for the nightlife, or leave for the airport (3 TL per person, […] much much cheaper than a taxi or other transfer service!). There is a lot of construction for a new underground subway line going on near this hotel (as of January 2013... thinking this will be ongoing for at least another 2 years). The rooms above the 4th floor have great views. We looked out onto Hagia Sophia, the rooms on the other side face the Bosphorus Strait. The spa has an excellent staff ready to help you with anything (we're Americans and have never done a Turkish bath before, but felt very at home here). Pricing is a little high (about 1 Euro per minute of anything) but the service was excellent. The pool is large enough to do laps in and the sauna was spacious. Overall the staff, service, location, and quality of this hotel are excellent. The only reason I did not give it a "5" was because of the ongoing construction and slightly high pricing (typical though for the tourist area of Istanbul). Read more

Perfect location for sightseeing. Nice boutique hotel. Room was small but up to date with nice finishes. Free breakfast was great. The construction across the street was real annoying. I am talking about jack hammering through the night.

Fantastic location! All points of interest are within pleasant walking distance through charming and scenic cobblestone streets - Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Spice Market, Grand Bazaar, etc. Staff was attentive and most helpful in every way! For an extra fee, we had pickup from the airport in the very comfortable hotel van. Room was spotless and comfortable, […] albeit small. It did have sliding glass doors with small balconies, and it was nice to open the doors to get some fresh air and step outside a bit. There was a strange setup with our bathroom - it was not a separate room, it was part of the overall room, with a clear glass door for the shower, so there was no privacy between my travel companion and me. We hung a towel over the door as a makeshift shower curtain. Also, because there is no separate bathroom, the toilet is enclosed in a stall, like a public toilet, very unusual. The hotel is divided into two buildings, so getting to and from our room was rather circuitous, but this was a minor inconvenience. I would definitely stay at the Levni again, but I would request a room without this bathroom setup. Overall a wonderful little hotel. Read more

Good location and nice breakfast ! A little bit hard to find the rooms.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel was just minutes from most of the sights that I wanted to see. The staff were great and helped make phone calls to make sure I was picked up on time for tours. One of the sights was literally 2 minute walk from the hotel. The breakfast buffet was wonderful. Internet worked well in the business center (I did not bring my laptop so I can't testify […] to the wireless connection). The restaurant had great food but pricey. There were ample street side restaurants within 1 minute walking distance. The Metro system was 1 block away and easy to use. The only complaint I had was the cable TV had only news channels in English - no real entertainment channels. But, with so much to see in Istanbul, you won't be in your room for a long time.

The location Is very good. Knowing we only stay one night they are not as helpful as we read on the comment on line. Our room was used by other guests n not clean up before we check in. We checked in around 6pm. They did sent clean up service quick.

Great location close to everything. Good breakfast in the morning. Becareful of the Spa they don't understand English very well and you may get more of less than you asked for.

Great Hotel in the old section of Istanbul and a good value. We had a wonderful time. Breakfast was excellent Front Desk and Staff are the best. They can't do enough for you. We especially want to praise Mustafe (Front Desk) who was so professional, kind and helpful. He should open a school for the training of staff in the proper way to deal with Guests. […] He is the very best. Read more

A very tourist-friendly hotel in a perfect location to launch your other travels around Istanbul - old section, Grand Bazaar, Blue Mosque, Sofia, etc., all within 10 min. walk, and half block to tram for easy ride to newer areas - Taksim, etc. Wonderful staff, took care of all of our requests promptly and completely, got a personal overview briefing […] upon arrival, large comfortable room, great breakfast buffet. Not the cheapest hotel in town, but would definitely stay here again. Read more

The Hotel is Gorgeous, The breakfast and Restaurant staff are excellent. The Housekeeping is wonderful, the room clean, amenities is very good. Well done Levni Hotel & Spa will be back soon and so interested to stay again in this lovely hotel.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Levni was a wonderful hotel in Instanbul. Within 5 minute walk to all the sites in the Old City. I appreciated the hotel's kind staff and also wonderful breakfast! Every morning I spent extra time loading up on fresh pastries and fresh squeezed orange juice that I didn't even need lunch while out site seeing. I would definitely return to Levni.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Nice hotel. However, be wary of construction going on all around the hotel currently. Staff seems to be under the impression that it stops at night - it doesn't. And when informed about this, they seemed to have a "see if it happens again and we'll do something about" attitude. Additionally, I couldn't get any decent recommendations from the guest services […] - they seem to want to only peddle restaurants/tours that they had "deals" (or preference for). Read more

The concierges where pretty disappointing, not helpful at all, even if formally poilte. For the rest the hotel is pretty good!

Genuine Expedia guest review

This is my fourth time in Istanbul and by far this is the best hotel I have stayed in Istanbul. Rate was reasonable. Room decor very clean and modern. Excellent hotel in Istanbul. Staff was very professional! I had early morning flight and the breakfast waiter let me eat an hour early. Front manager Mustafa was very informative. Small things, but showed […] attention to customers. Only draw back is hidden away in the back, had to ask several locals to help finding the place, and also front was construction which I hope will be done very soon. Read more

The Levni hotel is a great hotel if you are visiting istanbul and looking to do lots of sightseeing. It is in great location near all the major tourist attractions such as the Grand Bazar, Ayasofia, Blue Mosque etc. Unfortunately next to the hotel there is a major construction site and my room was very noisy during the day. This should not be a problem […] if you plan to leave the room before 9 am and return not before 5pm. The room was well appointed although a little small which made opening a large suitcase a bit of a challenge. The shower stall was a bit slippery and the water was pooling at the bottom of the stall. Basically during construction they forgot to angle the floor so the water can be directed to the drain. The front desk was helpful and friendly. The breakfast was good and coffee excellent. Overall it was a good value for money and my stay would have been perfect had it not been for the loud banging noise next door from construction. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

Great locatiton for key tourism visit sites. Kind of a "boutique" hotel field. Assembled from three contigous properties, making for a lot of short elevator rides, ramps or stairs, to another elevator. Not a hotel for the handicapped. Bright modern rooms, but small. Very courteous staff, but not good at giving directions. Pool too small to swim in. […] Air-conditioning works, which is a plus over other Istanbul hotels. A block from tram stops. Read more

This is a VERY special hotel. The stafff goes above and beyond any customer service I have experienced in a hotel.The suites are large, very comfortable and immaculate. The bed was very comfortable as well, bathroom very clean. The suite is filled with sunlight. The location was perfect centrally located Just a 3 minute walk into town, beautiful views […] with a beautiful breakfast delivered poolside every morning. The staff is nothing short of incredible regarding service. They anticipate your every need. They surprised us with beautiful thoughtful gifts throughout our stay. We did not want to leave and neither will you. This fabulous hotel is a piece of paradise! Read more

The stay was wonderful. Most of the staff are wonderful, the breakfast staff especially. One of the front desk workers I was not fond of, he didnt put our wake up call in the system, two nights in a row. There are no clocks in the room but most people bring phones.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

My family and I had a wonderful stay at the Levni Hotel. Our rooms, although a bit small, were very comfortable and clean, with comfortable beds, good pillows, a comfy robe and slippers. The staff, particularly the guest services staff, was very helpful and friendly and made us feel at home. The location is also excellent -- in the old part of the city, […] in walking distance of many historical attractions and good restaurants. The breakfast buffet was excellent, but I wouldn't recommend eating other meals at the restaurant. The service was slow and inefficient and the food was only OK. But I would definitely recommend this hotel to others and would stay there again if I return to istanbul. Read more

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the hotel and spa. The staff was extremely kind and helpful in both the hotel reception and the spa. The restaurant, while serving an excellent breakfast, was a little lacking in quality, variety and service, even with a special offer of 25% off that was given on that day. But otherwise it was a great, relaxing stay - […] I would definitely stay here again! Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It was a great experience. I will be staying there again. The only thing that I would suggest they change is not having the same breakfast every day. It gets tiring. However, I did not find it to be a big deal. The hotel still gets a 5 from me in all areas.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The atmosphere is very friendly, quite close to many things and you will be quite satisfied

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel is located within walking distance to most tourist attractions, its just two short train stops away from the Bosphorous cruise and the train station is a short walking distance. Some pretty good restaurants are also within walking distance, as for nightlife, there really isn't a whole lot in the area some restaurants are open late and a few […] hookah places thats about it. The hotel itself is relatively new, the rooms are very nice, well designed, a bit small but enough to fit two people comfortably. The hotel staff is exceptional, very helpful and courteous, the breakfast at the hotel alone make the stay worth it and other free offers like the sauna and Turkish bath are nice perks. Hotel Levni is definitely some place I would book again, enjoyed my stay there very much. Read more

So convienent to all the sights in Sultanabad...and the tram, which we were hesitent to use...

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

my reservation was made for 1 adult only but the room booked accommodates more than one adult ( I paid extra for the room when i booked it) when I was checking in with my wife the receptionist wouldn't let her check in the room with me unless we pay an additional 50 euros. I explained to him that i booked the room that accommodates more than one person […] and i showed him that the rate didn't change when i changed the number of people on hotels.com, however he was stubborn about it and insisted on the 50 euros. I called hotels.com and my issue was solved in less than 5 minutes without paying anything extra. after checking in the AC wasn't working i guess he switched it off from the reception. I had to call the front desk 4 times for them to come fix which took another 40 minutes. it was a very unpleasant experience for me and my wife and it ruined our day but thanks to hotels.com for making it easier.

Very friendly staff, excellent service, outstanding breakfast. Well located near Hagia Sophia, Cistern, Blue Mosque, etc. Spa is excellent. Rooms are well appointed but small but I would definitely return. Everyone was extremely friendly and go above board to help.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Newly renovated, comfortably furnished, and fully (and quietly) air conditioned with individual thermostats that really work this hotel is a short walk from the Archeological Museum, Topkapi Palace, The Cisterns, Hagia Sophia, and the Blue Mosque. A nearby tram will take you further afield. The breakfasts are excellent with a full array of excellent […] fresh pastries, fresh orange juice, cereals, excellent Turkish yoghurt, several buffet hot dishes and a short order cook who prepares eggs to order. The staff was friendly and helpful very much in keeping with the hospitable nature of the city itself. The only caveat I can think of is that not all rooms are directly elevator accessible. Mine required negotiating a short staircase and this might be an issue for some travelers. I really liked this hotel which was the first booking I made with Hotels.com and would definitely recommend both the hotel and the website to friends and family. Read more

For the price range, this is a rare gem--clean rooms, ultra-modern amenities. You are a few steps from the Palace, or from pedestrian roads filled with restaurants. Beyond all of that, though, they treated us like royalty. The answer was never "no" to anything, but "how can we make that happen." Helpful, good-natured staff made this a safe, sane haven […] in the middle of a busy city for us. The hotel restaurant was excellent, thanks to great food and great staff (especially Ibrahim!). Thanks to Hotel Levni for a great experience, and for prospective guests, do yourself a favor and grab a stay at this new hotel before word gets out too much. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We had a 3 day visit to Istanbul while en route to Jordan and we were very glad to have chosen Levni for our stay. The hotel is perfectly situated between the major sites (the Topkapi, Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia) and the bosphorus (a 10 minute walk to either). The hotel staff was wonderful - we had great chats at the afternoon tea while enjoying pastries […] and listening to live music, and the breakfast was very nice - nothing beyond belief, but they had a great variety of food. The room was large and well appointed. We were there when the hotel was fully booked so my only regret was not having a view, but I respected that the hotel staff tried to do their best, even offering to move us if something became available. We took advantage of the hotel transfer van to and from the airport, and while I think you usually pay a little extra, it was nice to have the convenience. Pluses: A 10 minute walk to the Topkapi or to the Bosphorus Kind and attentive staff Large, clean rooms with Turkish character Free afternoon tea with local pastries and live music Lots of electrical outlets for recharging cameras and computers Nice breakfast Minuses: The streets are torn up a bit around the hotel Only the top floors have a view The elevator is very small (but the stairs are better exercise anyway!) The glass doors on the bathroom don't give much privacy if you're sharing the room Read more

Very happy indeed with this hotel. Great location. A short 5-10 minute walk from the major sights of Sultanahmet such as the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace etc and very easy to walk to the waterfront and metro/station/tram. Hotel modern, contemporary and well furnished and appointed. Bed very comfortable. Only slight criticism was the bathroom door was […] glass with rather inadequate partial frosting, so not suitable if you value your privacy! Lighting in the bathroom was restful, but not great for eg applying make-up. Our room had a small balcony. Excellent standard of cleanliness and helpful staff. Reception staff all spoke English. Breakfast was very good with a wide range of hot and cold food. Didn't use the pool/spa area, but it did look enticing. We didn't have a meal other than breakfast in the hotel, but there was a range of great local restaurants about 2 minutes' walk away, all of which served decent food. Wi-fi worked. An extra plus was the computer terminal and printer in the basement. Would definitely stay here again (despite the bathroom door!) as the location and contemporary feel were so very good. Read more

Very good boutique style hotel in a very good location, although the Check-in was a bit weird, as the Check-in clerk did not give us any info about the room or breakfast or hotel services, but only handed our room key to the Bell boy, who escorted us to our room. The bell boy put the luggage in the room and then stood in front of the door, waiting for […] his tip. We inquired about the Breakfast times from him, and had to search for the Concierge ourselves. Most irritating was the CENTRAL AIRCON SYSTEM! You can NOT adjust the AC yourself!! You have to phone reception to adjust it! Also, in "Winter" the room is like an oven inside, and the central system can not go lower than 21 degrees.....we asked for 18 degrees, and was told that this was not possible......we then asked them to rather switch the aircon off, so we could at least sleep! Breakfast was also a bit disappointing, as there were NO fresh fruit available, and also very little meat, like Cold meats...etc. Bacon was non-existant! Overall a very good hotel accept for the AC issue! Read more

Room on the fourth floor with fantastic views. Clean throughout and very comfortable bed. Only slight negative was the noise from outside caused by the windows not sealing properly when shut.

Ideally situated for the big sites - Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace minutes away and Grand Bazaar not too far either. Also very near trams for access elsewhere including Taksim Square. Staff very friendly indeed and most helpful - guest services, front desk and spa. Wonderful special spa package incorporating different treatments.

It is a nice hotel, but the jacuzzi was broken down and we asked reception to repaire it, but they didn't come, therefore we were unable to use it on the first day. Very disappointed.

The service was friendly and helpful. They were eager to nswer any questions and accomodate any requests.

We stayed this hotel for 4 days. This place was perfect. We arrived at Friday. The restaurant served BBQ (chicken, lamb, & beef) on that day. All of them were delicious.
