Lotus Hotel - Istanbul

Unique local animal presence, Close-knit community feel during stays, Local dining recommendations

Old and outdated furnishings give a sense of neglect!!! Noise from nearby calls to prayer disrupts peace during early mornings!!! Limited electrical sockets create inconvenience during device charging!!!

We had tasty breakfasts with superb fresh bread and omlettes, for instance. The staff were absolutely amazing and very kind, nothing too much trouble;)))

The location was comfortable and decent, close to ferries, and the several other interesting Orthodox churches, in a nice local area. The breakfast selection was savoury with omlettes, as much tea or coffee and superb fresh bread.

Here's the good and the not-so-good

The staff's hospitality was heartwarming! They were very good, even translating my dietary needs and arranging transportation seamlessly.

The location was unbeatable, short walk to Fener. The staff were very hospitable and attentive, everything was amazing during our stay.

We were there for rest and had a really great stay. Its personnel was extremely great and positive, nothing to complain about. Our accommodation was set in a very central location next to so good for those who pray, the sea and bus station, and the old town. Local fast food option Big Mamma's Prive Balat was 5 minutes walk away...

The room felt chilly at times.

Really good hospitality and delicious breakfast

The breakfast was a highlight, with freshly cooked eggs and a good selection of cheeses and fruits. The personalized service from Vural and his team stood out, as they were attentive to my needs and provided great local recommendations. One aspect to improve would be the accessibility who might struggle with stairs.

Charming decor provides a pleasant ambience.

I faced several issues. The room was chilly, and there weren't enough outlets for my devices, frustrating. The torn wallpaper and dust in the closet were disappointing. I even encountered a cockroach, which really put a damper on my experience.

Solo traveler Perfect for a quiet getaway

The staff were cute. One night, after a long day, they even fetched me late-night food when I couldn't find anything around.

It wasn't exactly cheap but definitely worth it for the quality.

Can't recommend highly enough for strolling

Comfortable room, friendly staff, with excellent air conditioning and a great breakfast to start the day, all while being just a short distance from the tram for easy access to the city.

Absolutely perfect.

Charming Location with Helpful Staff

I loved the personal touch provided by the staff, especially during breakfast. The owner took the time to share local tips and recommended great places nearby. The clean room was refreshing after a day of exploring. Don't miss the nearby shops for snacks and treasures!

The lotus had a charming decor with cute areas, made it easy for me to navigate. I particularly enjoyed the fresh breakfast and the lovely staff's hospitality.

Improved accessibility for the elderly would be appreciated.

The staff provided great local tips and a lovely breakfast each morning. Noise from nearby calls to prayer can be disruptive at night.
