Very nice hotel in the center, the staff is amazing, as is the breakfast, I can not recommend it enough !! Would definitely stay again when coming back to Istanbul! They help you with whatever you need and make sure that any questions you would have are answered.

That you are basically forced to write a review in front of them when checking out, to make sure they get a good review - why not have faith in the work you are doing? The hotel is really good, and definitely desereves the 10 points, but actions like these leave a sour aftertaste.

Fantastic location, walkable to transit and many local sites. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, I felt very cared for. The bed was comfortable and the air conditioning kept the room and 18c while sleeping. During the day I had the window open and it was still a nice temperature. I was thankful for the bottles of water and the breakfast, I do have a positive suggestion of perhaps having signs for what the different items were, being from the west I wasn't familiar with all the options and I was unsure what I might be trying or missing out on because I was not sure if I would like it, but what I did try was delicious. I was provided a map with advice for local sites to see which was a nice touch. I also used their airport transfer 3 times and was very pleased. I also had my clothes laundered for a competitive price. I loved having a sea view room to wake up to. Couple of things to note, There are Mosques all over Istanbul and calls to prayer can be at ALL hours, so do yourself a favor and bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. Also I knew this from pictures when I was booking but the bed was large and getting past it to the window side was a challenge with large luggage so if you have issues I'm sure they would help you lift the luggage over the bed. I hope this review helps you make your decision. The cleaning staff was wonderful. You can't go wrong for location, comfort, hospitality and price.

Staff are super friendly and do everything in their power to accommodate you. The customer service is truly exceptional, and they do really look after you. They also provide useful tips about where everything is located and how best to travel around istanbul. The hotel is located at the heart of the old Sultanahet area and close to everything the area has to offer.

Rooms are quite small, breakfast options are not the best and the hotel does not have any other facilities such as a fitness room. However, if you're staying here, you've likely chosen based on the location, which is pretty perfect.

Charming Rural Hotel with Exceptional Hospitality in Old Istanbul Location: Perfectly situated in Old Istanbul Staff: Outstanding, with an excellent manager who goes above and beyond Breakfast: Authentic Turkish style with good variety Overall Experience: Memorable and personalized Detailed Review: This small, rural-style hotel offers much more than its size suggests. The manager's communication and helpfulness were truly exceptional, making us feel welcome and supported throughout our stay. While the rooms are compact, they are comfortable and manageable. The Turkish-style breakfast was a delightful experience, offering a descent range of traditional options with no complaints. The hotel's accessibility to Old Istanbul is a significant advantage for travelers wanting to explore the historic area. Constructive Feedback: The only area for improvement would be the mattresses, which were quite hard. However, the warmth of the hospitality more than made up for this minor issue. Recommendation: You don't need a 5-star hotel when you have hosts who make you feel special. Highly recommended for travelers seeking an authentic, personalized Istanbul experience.

Being here for the 3rd time, I see always improvements regarding the services. Breakfast is rich and daily changed, in the room they changes the towels and bed sheets daily + two bottles of water, which is good. We went at the end of December and the room was warm, no issue staing in a Tshirt. We choosed the hotel because in so close to the Blue Mosque and other facilities yet on a quiet street. We saw other hotels to match the comfort and the breakfast of Zeyn, but they were at the street (heavy noise from cars). Other than that, if you look carefully at the    staff, you will find a goodness and sincerity which I didn’t found yet in any hotel. Their mission is to help you finding solutions to your needs. Whatever might be. What I appreciate the most is that the manager has a kind gentle and sincere soul which I hope will not be counquered by money or stress. I found humanity; What I mean: the hotel is not limited to business, I pay the money, you give me the room. You have to experience the turkish hospitality for your self here.

The staff was incredibly kind and very invested in ensuring you were comfortable. We had a couple of small problems with the room and they fixed them the same day we told them about it and later on asked how everything was. The location was also ideal - very centrally located and close to the tram as well.

The room was quite small so it’s not easy to move around being two people. The bathroom was also very tight. The mattress was very hard and uncomfortable. They also need to repaint the room walls as they’re quite marked up which gives a sensation of being unclean or rundown when the hotel is quite clean in reality.

The hotel location is at the perfect spot. Walkable to every tourist spots and very near to Cemberlitas tram station (train where you can go everywhere). As soon as you arrive, the staff will greet you and explain the navigation with a typical paper map(on where to go, where to not go etc). Very helpful, veryyyyy polite and clean property. Hotel staff and Manager are so polite and kind. The manager even gifted us some souvenirs (shawl and mug). Very much recommended place for a cozy stay. Felt so welcomed, and if you’re going with a family especially — this is a perfect spot. We’ll visit again if time permits In sha Allah.

None.

As a senior woman traveling alone, I loved the warm welcome, safety and cleanliness at this small and modern hotel. Excellent service in English and everyone was personable and helpful. I felt very safe in a spotless and modern place. I also really liked having a refrigerator, hairdryer and coffeepot/teapot in the room. Staff will help you find anything you need, and have maps available. The location is on a side street, a slight uphill walk to to the Old Town attractions and public transportation. Many restaurants and stores (including a grocery store) within a 5 - 10 minute walk and I felt very safe, even walking home late in the evening.

No negatives. I really loved it there and would stay again in a. minute. I don't eat breakfast but had coffee and juice each day.

Everyone in the hotel staff was amazingly helpful and professional. Even though we had a last-minute flight cancelation and change of plans, the hotel management was extremely courteous and cooperative. Mr. Seleuk, the manager, welcomed us warmly and was always available and assisted us throughout. Mr. Mahmoud and Mr. Azat at the reception desk were extremely helpful as well. They provided us a map of the major tourist attractions as well as the cheapest and best places for shopping. The bedroom and facilities were top-notch. We visited in winter, so hot water and heating was always available. The breakfast was decent as well. All in all, our stay was very comfortable, and we'd recommend everyone to give these guys a shot. Whenever we visit Istanbul next time, we'll definitely choose Zeyn Otel for our stay.

The hotel staff was very nice, offered us tea and took very good care of us during our stay. The hotel is in a very quiet street, and one of our booked rooms had a great view of the sea. It’s especially nice that the hotel was only about a 10 min walk away from the Blue Mosque. There are small supermarkets around the area and plenty of restaurants. The staff cooked a delicious eggplant dish for breakfast, and regrettably we forgot to ask them how they did it. The rooms were cleaned daily. Overall, you get exactly what you pay for, and it is a good place to stay when you need a quiet rest after a busy city tour.
