Great location, tastefully decorated restaurant with heaters and blankets to create cozy atmosphere in winter. The restaurant has a great atmosphere and good range of food available. Continental breakfast included a good range of local produce and fresh cake each day. Batu greeted us with a warm welcome. Room was very private with balcony and spa bath. Complimentary shampoo, soap, conditioner, slippers, vanity set, water, tea and coffee. Plenty of leaflets, books and information to help you plan your stay. Taxi pick up from the airport was arranged by the hotel and made transfer very straight forward.

I like milk with my tea and coffee, it would be good to have some sachets in the room / small bottle in the fridge for arrival.

We have chosen this hotel in the historic Fatih district for the second time and have never regretted it! The clean, cozy rooms, daily housekeeping, and incredibly hospitable staff created a truly homely atmosphere. The location is simply perfect - all the main attractions are within walking distance. The hotel's restaurant deserves a special mention: delicious food, fast service, and a nice discount for guests - what more could you ask for a perfect vacation! We will definitely return here again and again!"

the property is really well kept and the team so friendly. it’s also super close to the key tourist sites to visit and restaurants

The hotel's location is fantastic—just a short walk from the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. The breakfast was delicious, with a good variety. Batu at the reception was exceptionally helpful throughout our stay, and our room was cleaned thoroughly every day.

You can hear music from the restaurant below in the room, which might be an issue for light sleepers or those who go to bed very early. However, it didn’t bother us much—our children had no trouble falling asleep.

We stayed here 4 nights. The staff was incredibly nice and helpful (thanks to Batu especially!) and the facilities were overall in good condition and attractive. The breakfast was good, albeit largely the same each day. Great central location.

Beds were a bit hard for my taste, but the biggest issue was that the room we booked (a spacious triple) was incredibly hot. We soon realized it was directly over the hotel restaurant’s kitchen, and the oven vent must run along one wall - so some of the floor and wall was literally hot to the touch (!) and the AC couldn’t even cool down the room. Surely a safety issue too! They were luckily able to switch us to another triple, albeit less spacious (and with some noise at night from the restaurant), but not being able to stay in our preferred room affected our visit. So just don't stay in room 111 unless you prefer a warm room.

Very nice hotel, warm and very familiar The rooms are clean, the bathrooms are confortamble and they have all the conditions to have a great stay in Turkey Ibrahim, from the reception, was very very frindly. He helped us to find a ptt for the tax road, he was just like has to be an reception guy, frindly and familiar A 10 + I recomend this hotel if you want a nice and enjoyable stay in Turkey, near all the turist attractions

Everything was perfect. Baran at reception was very helpful with suggestions and making us feel comfortable. It was immaculately clean, the patio deck was fantastic, the restaurant next door offered free coffee or tea to hotel guests, along with breakfast and the restaurant staff was kind and cheerful. The room itself was beautiful and the jacuzzi made for a wonderful New Year’s Eve.

There was only one fault and if it wasn’t for this it would have been 10 of 10. The WIFI was spotty, weak and unreliable which is sometimes a problem in Istanbul.

Very good location for sightseeing on foot, new rooms, complimentary kettle and coffee/tee in room, comfortable bed, great bathroom, very kind night receptionist, good variety for breakfast, bath robes were heavenly soft and big. Beautiful big terrace!

No one cleaned our room except for the very first morning, but you could help yourself with toilet paper and clean towels from the cabinet in the hall.

I have been in Istanbul several times but this time in La Vida Hotel it was the best, if you want great comfort don’t hesitate to book in this hotel and especially the top roof room with bathtub and private Hamam. Breakfast is quite healthy and fresh with good choice of fruits The staff are very friendly and helpful, especially Hakan and Ibrahim, they helped us to go for cruiser party dinner with good price, also they organized perfectly the taxi to the airport.

Price was little bit high but this in normal in this season when all other hotels in Istanbul are raising the price, but for me La Vida hotel is worthy

The location is perfect, 2 minutes walk from Blue Mosque and other attractions. The Paradise restaurant and stuff at restaurant are very good. The food was tasty. The receptionists are also helpful and good.

The room was very small. The windows were high and there was no opportunity to look out of windows. Also there is noise and music from the restaurant, so if you’re a sensitive sleeper, take this into account. But this is Sultanahmet, you cannot expect no noise;)
