Turkish hospitality at its best. Hidden jam right in the city center.
Pros:

It was a great experience staying at La Vida Hotel in Istanbul. This was my first time in Istanbul and hotel staff was so welcoming and helpful, it made my visit very memorable. Thank you for all the advise and all great conversations. This hotel is right near Sultanahmed square in quite district, 2 minutes to main attractions.Also great + to this hotel is that downstairs there is a restaurant, where in the morning they serve breakfast, it is also great for evening meal. Very tasty. I reccommend this hotel, as it trully has this Turkish hospitality that you might not find in big chain hotels. Teşekkür ederim, çok memnun kaldım

Cons:

Only challenge was sometimes to get water in the shower to the comfortable temperature, sometimes it went super hot. However this is a smallest thing. Everything was great during my stay.

Mauvais rapport qualité prix, c’est dommage
Pros:

Le personnel très gentil et l’emplacement idéal pour tout faire à pieds. Le petit déjeuner était très bon.

Cons:

Le manque de propreté et la vétusté de la salle de bain. Nous avons pris la chambre avec jacuzzi, ce dernier avait le bouchon d’évacuation cassé, nous avons du attendre le dernier soir pour pouvoir en profiter. L’eau dans la douche était soit bouillante soit gelée donc très difficile de se doucher convenablement.

Ogólnie przyjemny pobyt w dobrej, aczkolwiek mocno turystycznej, lokalizacji.
Pros:

Cudowna obsługa, uśmiechnięta i pomocna.

Cons:

Pokoje wymagałyby już renowacji. Pod prysznicem albo bardzo ciepła woda, albo zimna.

Delightful chilled stay in a very central location
Pros:

Owners of the hotel were really lovely and more than happy to help with anything. Room was very clean and had everything I needed with some nice touches (slippers etc.). Breakfast was a buffet with a good range of different good quality foods. Location is about a 1 minute walk to the Blue mosque but not crowded and not noisy at night (in April).

Cons:

Nothing

Pros:

I can’t say exactly what I liked most about it! The location, the aesthetic, the affordability, the breakfast, or the warmth of the wonderful people working there (especially the manager!). La Vida Hotel deserves my highest rating and recommendations. I will definitely stay there again when I return to Istanbul! ❤️

Pros:

Чисто, свежий ремонт! Месторасположение отеля к основным достопримечательностям огонь! 5 мин не спеша! Сама улочка тихая! Персонал приветливый! Завтрак хороший, не большой шведский стол, но всего хватает и вкусно! Спасибо персоналу за гостеприимство)))
