Hotel Sari Konak Reviews

Central location, friendly staff that is happy to help with any requests. Facilities are old but well maintained and clean. Good value for money in excellent location.

Great location! Close to Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, TOPKAPI Palace and many other attractions. The staff was wonderful. The hotel is well maintained. Highly recommended!

I really love this hotel in overall. The staff service is empressive. Breakfast is superb. The only concern is the transportation from hotel to other attraction is a bit far. Otherwise, I really recommend this hotel to all traveller. :)

Comfortable and inexpensive. A very cozy room.

The room was spacious.. breakfast was good and the services were excellent. Very good location close to all the historical sites.

Very good services from the front desk. A little small, but location is good.

Nice hotel in a convenient location, next to all the restaurants and close to landmarks.

Great hotel close to all major sites

Good place for food and close to historical place.

Great location and value for money!

Nice !

We had a good time in Istanbul, and this was certainly helped by the location of the Sari Konak Hotel, which is a stone's throw from all the main attractions of the Sultanahmet diet, right behind the Blue Mosque. The location is ideal. As for the hotel itself, on the one hand, for this money in the center of Istanbul you can hardly expect anything better, and on the other hand, at a price of €100/day for a tiny room, you should invest at least a little in updating such basic things as bed linen, pillows, bedspreads and towels are still possible. The hotel maid (single person) tried her best and cleaned well, but guys, torn bed linen, lumped pillows and mattresses and bedspreads covered with indelible stains are unacceptable even for a 2* hotel. The hotel's interior is interesting, authentic, but in urgent need of updating. Breakfast is poor and suitable only for very undemanding travelers. Pros: 1. Excellent location, a small market and a bunch of cafes and restaurants around, all the main attractions, including the Bosphorus, are within a kilometer radius; 2. Beautiful view from the roof terrace of the Bosphorus, Galata, Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia; 3. Good free WiFi, working air conditioning and fan, stable hot water pressure in the rooms; 4. Friendly staff. Minuses: 1. Shabby rooms and textiles that require updating (bed linen, bedspreads, pillows, towels); 2. Poor breakfast; 3. Two active construction sites within a radius of 20 meters from the hotel. We had a great time in Istanbul, managed to see all the main wonders of this awesome city within 6 days - and the location of the “Sari Konak” hotel gave us the great advantage to access all the main attractions of the Sultanahmet area within a short walk. So, the location of the hotel (right behind the Blue Mosque) is perfect. As for the hotel itself: on the one hand, for this price you can hardly expect anything better in the center of Istanbul, however, on the other hand, at a price of €100/day for a tiny room, the owners should invest at least a little in updating such basic things as bed linen, pillows, bedspreads and towels. The hotel maid (there was just 1 housekeeper at the hotel throughout our stay) tried her best and cleaned the rooms well, but guys, torn bed linen, lumped pillows and mattresses and bedspreads littered with unremovable stain are unacceptable spots even for a 2* hotel, while “Sari Konak” claims for 4*. The hotel's interior is interesting, authentic, but it urgently needs updating. Breakfast is poor and suitable only for very undemanding travelers. Pros: 1. Excellent location, a small market and a bunch of cafes and restaurants around, all the main attractions, including the Bosphorus, are in a short walk distance; 2. Beautiful view from the roof terrace towards the Bosphorus, Galata, Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia; 3. Good free Wi-Fi, working air conditioner and fan, stable hot water pressure in the room; 4. Friendly staff. Cons: 1. Shabby rooms screaming for renovation, and textile that must be replaced (bed linen, bedspreads, pillows, towels); 2. Poor breakfast; 3. Two ongoing construction sites within a radius of 20 meters from the hotel.

The gentlemen at the front desk were very hospitable and introduced us to all the details of the hotel. Although the hotel is small, the decoration is very warm, very beautiful and exquisite. The breakfast of the hotel is the best I have eaten in the restaurant in Istanbul these days, and it is even very suitable for Chinese stomachs. This hotel has also been on the newspaper.

There are many restaurants around, which is convenient, so there is a little noise in the room, but it is clean.
