Excellent stay at the lumina. Hotel well located, clean room, nice terrace to relax, copious breakfast, very warm and responsive staff. Many thanks to Lokman for his tourist advice and invaluable help during our stay. We recommend this hotel without hesitation!

I really enjoyed the hotel, everything is very new and clean, the design of the rooms is very nice. Also all the main sights are within the walking distance, the Halic metro station is 3 min walk from the hotel. All the staff is very friendly and helpful, they gave me the map with all the sights and told about some interesting places to visit.

No points to mention

The location is great, close to a metro station which goes to anywhere in Istanbul as well as bus station. There are many restaurants and cafés nearby. The Egyptian bazaar and Eminonu are close (15 mins by foot). The room was very clean. The staff where kind and helpful especially Lokman (thank you so much). It is perfect for its value of money. Since the Hotel is in Fatih so don’t expect it to be in a new square. You may be hesitant to book it because of the old neighborhood. We were too but we didn’t regret because it is secure and there many local shops and cafés and everyone there is nice. The rooftop view is amazing! We enjoyed drinking a cup of tea while seeing galata tower and suleymaniye mosque. We definitely recommend it!

The only thing is that the room wasn’t not isolated very well and street light pass through even the black curtains of the room. You can bring an eye mask and earplugs with you and the problem is solved!

My stay at Lumina hotel was exceptional! All the personnel was very helpful and kind. They always helped will what i needed. Gave me information about the place around. The room was very nice and clean. Breakfast always served fresh at the tarace,where the view was wonderful. The location of the hotel was near to all transportation and sightseeing. Sure an experience i will never forget! Thanks to all the people working there!!

The is no negative

This place was just AMAZING. It was way better than I excpected it. The location, the view from the rooftop, the breakfast, all were just fabulous. It was so warm and cozy inside, that my daughter cried when we were leaving. She loved it that much. Everything is nearby and the boys working there, especially Lokman were just so helpful. Thank you endlessly for hosting us and making this trip, a trip to remember.

Highly recommend. It’s a small but cozy hotel, with great rooftop terrace and nice room. Really appreciate that they’re using furniture and items sold locally in the neighbourhood, and also provide breakfast from the local cafe which tasted excellent. The host Lokmen was amazing, very friendly and helpful all the time. Made our trip memorable and felt like we could rely on him for local tips and recommendations so we’re not lost. Amazing guy.

Random but minifridge in the wardrobe might not be a very good idea? Worth checking as the wardrobe felt hot like an oven when the doors are closed. Great to dry off damp clothes tho.

Central position: right in front of Haliç Metro station, 5 minutes walking from the tram stop to Fener/Balat, 10 minutes walking from Galata Bridge, 30 from Agia Sophia and Blue Mosque. You are really in the middle of everything, at the edge of bazaar area (very crowded roads), not the cleanest spot in the city. The hotel is a tiny relaxing oasis, with spacious rooms and nice decor. The staff is really polite and helpfull (Ömer helped me to find a parking for the car, assisted me throughout my stay and gave me a couple of perfect restaurant suggestions!) And will provide you with all you may need. I would recommend this place to everyone.

Little space in the Bathroom for your toiletries

The property was clean, the staff were welcoming, and the breakfast was great. They did a fantastic job. The rooms were cleaned regularly. Would I stay again if visiting Istanbul? Absolutely. The location is next to Sulaymaniyah Masjid, Egyptian bazaar, Mahmut pasa bazaar, grand bazaar and the Eminonu Pier. Thank you all for the hospitality.

The employees all of them really was very helpful from the first time we came to the hotel until the time we left.They provided us with useful information and offered us coffee and tea and even candy 🥹 creating and a real home like experience!The best location you ll find for hotel in Instabul in front of Metro M2, tram T5 and more than plenty of buses to get you around the city with more ease.

It was a very good stay. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Whenever I need something, I knew someone is there to put their all effort to help me. I appreciate their behavior. There was a very good terrace with a very beautiful view. The room was very clean. My experience was 10 out of 10.
