We have spent 5 nights (12.-17-Sept. 2008) at this wonderful Hotel and it was in every respect a memorable stay. The location is in a quite and little bit hidden street with the major attractions and a tram stop in easy walking distance. As soon as we arrived we were greeted with traditional tea and from the first minute we... more

I echo the other reviewers - this is an excellent hotel especially for the price. Context: I am 40, live in London, work in consulting, and a frequent traveller in 5* hotels, and this is my first Tripadvisor review. We travelled to Istanbul for a wedding. Great points: service at Four Seasons levels, great welcome, check-in sitting down, free cooking... more

We visited Istanbul for 3 nights at the beginning of September and really enjoyed our stay at the Sirkeci Konak Hotel. Everyone, from the moment we were met at Ataturk Airport until our departure went out of their way to help us enjoy the hotel, the surrounding area and Turkish hospitality. The hotel is superbly located for the tourist sights... more

This is a totally frank review of our four-night stay at the Sirkeci Konak. We returned on 18 September. First, location. The hotel is very close to the main sights (overlooks the gardens of Topkapi Palace) and you really couldn't be better placed for a sightseeing tour of Istanbul. It is only a matter of minutes to walk to the... more

Really lovely friendly hotel, great staff who were very welcoming and helpful in advising where to go what to see and how to get there. Within walking distance of most of the important things to see. Nice comfortable, quiet rooms (important in a very busy city). We had a delicious dinner on our first night, which was included in the... more

Six of us have just returned from Istanbul, one of whom booked this hotel after reading the TripAdvisor reviews. He was a bit concerned as to whether the reviews were too good to be true. No problem there - this hotel is fabulous. The staff were welcoming, friendly and very informative. They were happy to suggest places to see, give... more
