Sarnic Boutique Hotel

ein gutes kleines Hotel mit familienfreundlichem Personal. Heimelig. Leider hatte das Zimmer kein Tageslicht. Also keine Fenster, und es war klein

Small but adequate rooms in great section of town. Very friendly staff. We didn't spend any time in the room other than to sleep so it was just what we needed. Hotel staff helped us with tours. Breakfast was quite good. Istanbul is all about getting out and around town so this suited our needs quite well. Nothing fancy but a decent value overall. Very nice shuttle service to/from the airport. Hotel responded to our advance email about late arrival which was appreciated.

Sarnic Boutique Hotel was our "home" in Istanbul as we spent seven nights there---long enough to become acquainted with all of the staff. Location is absolutely ideal---10 minutes to the Blue Mosque----great neighborhood with lots to see and do. The hotel staff is terrific and willing to help any way they can. Our room was on the fourth floor of the old part of the hotel so was a bit of a climb(!); shower was dinky but had unlimited hot water with great pressure; air conditioning was great; breakfast was generous (included in room rate); the roof top restaurant was a disappointment. Two restaurants on the street were super---really recommend both. The location of the Sarnic was perfect; that alone cancels the negatives. Next trip to Istanbul we will ask to be in the new portion of the hotel---what luxury: an elevator!!!!!!

The sarnic hotel is a nice hotel in many ways. When we arrived so early we were kindly told we could leave our bags by the reception staff. This was the nicest reception person but more often there were people at the desk who were not as nice as him. The room was very nice but the bed was very, very hard for a hotel bed. I did not like that bed. The bathroom was nice but the shower stall was extremely small. Really. It was too small! I really liked the breakfast! There were lots of good things to eat there, yogurt with honey, hard boiled eggs, cheeses, fruit, breads and good coffee. The staff there were very nice. The location was excellent! Extremely close to all of the popular sites! Now, here is my beef witht he sarnic hotel. One night we had to go to a restaurant that required reservations. Fine. I tried to call with the hotel phone but it didn't work. I couldn't reach the outside line. We were charged 13 lira!! That is crazy. So, in summary, I would say it is a great hotel is you don't mind a really hard bed and a tiny shower and so-so reception guys.

Walking distance to nearly all attractions in Istanbul (we easily walked to Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Grand Bazaar, Archetecture and Islamic Art museums, Hippodrome, restaurants... and one of our people has a bad knee). GREAT cistern/art gallery available free. Sweet, helpful staff with an attention to making foreigners comfortable. We had a room in the "old section" of the hotel and our friends were in the "new section." Our room was roomy and nice, their room was a little smaller but very pretty and "boutique." Breakfast did have hot dishes (I had read online it didn't) and there is a nice rooftop restaurant and bar with a great view of the Blue Mosque. This is not a standard business/luxury hotel, but has a taste of local flavor without sacrificing comfort. We had a wonderful stay.

This boutique hotel is a close walk to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, and the metro. We really enjoyed our stay here. The staff was very friendly and the breakfast every morning was good. The rooms were small, but clean.

The only positive thing was the location but you can find many others hotel in that area. The air conditioning was bad with air contaminated it was impossible to breath, 1st floor, noisy. Elevator to terrace broken the 2 days I was there, one afternoon with no water in the bathroom, incorrect charge in my account, only one reception person very friendly, nothing more.

This hotel is in the middle of where all of the great sights are. Within walking distance to the Hippodrome, Bazaar, Pudding Shop, Basilica Cistern, Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, etc. Great location and a very friendly staff. Take the cooking class whilst there, you won't be disappointed.

It was so easy to visit the heritage sites from this location. The hotel staff helps with advice and arrangements without any "hardsell" pressure. As a seasoned traveler, I can testify that this trip will rank near the top.

Brand-new hotel--very clean, with good service. I was the first to stay in my room as the hotel opened the week I arrived. Owner very friendly and accommodating--anxious to please. Wonderful view from my room to the Blue Mosque.
