Seres Hotel Old City Reviews

Room was very small but the restaurant was amazing with super nice view of Istanbul

Great position to walk to the sights of Istanbul. Rooftop views were exceptional and the staff were very helpful.

The hotel is very good and the staff are helpful. But like most Turkish hotels, rooms are small and so are the rubbish bins. The price compared to other countries is quite expensive.

Small hotel located in Old Town. The room is small but come with all amenities. The restaurant view is fantastic

Great location 👌

Will recommend the hotel in a good location near all major sites with walking distance and breakfast has good variety and the staff are all polite

The location is very central and near Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque.

We stayed four nights in a budget room of 15 square meters. We got room 208, on the second floor. It was very clean and had everything we needed: four towels, soap, shampoo, and shower gel. Tea, coffee, sugar, and 1.5 liters of water daily were provided. Yes, the room is small, but that was clear when we booked. My husband and I had plenty of space. The window overlooked the backyard, which was like a well, flush with the cement floor. Potted trees were at eye level. We were afraid to open the window at first, but then it became okay; we left it for micro-ventilation, as the air conditioner only worked for heating in November, and the weather was hot. It was very clean and cleaned every day, and the bed linen was changed once. The room was exactly as shown in the photos. The breakfast was good, a buffet. Nothing fancy, but you won't go hungry. It's on the rooftop with a beautiful view of the city. The hotel's location is a 5-minute walk from Marmaray Sikerci station, 10 minutes from the main attractions. From there, it's an hour by metro to Sabiha, and an hour and forty minutes to the new airport. There are plenty of cafes and shops nearby, and a tram stop is nearby. The staff is very polite and helpful. You can leave your luggage for free after check-out. I would definitely stay here again!

Many people comment on the view from the restaurant—you can barely see anything other than the old rooftops; it's hard to even call it a beautiful view. The location is convenient, and you can easily walk to all the sights. The room is clean, but that's probably a characteristic of the building—it's not new, and it smells a bit dated, or they overdosed the cleaning products. On the plus side, they arranged a good transfer, thank you!

Overall, a good budget hotel. We stayed with our family for 4 days, and during those 4 days, the room was never cleaned, as the cleaning service only reached us around lunchtime, and at that time my children were asleep. I asked the cleaning service to come later, but no one came, and so on throughout those days, everything was the same... I changed the towels myself, and took water from them myself. The breakfasts were good, on the roof, where seagulls fly, and it was interesting for the children. The windows overlooked the road where the tram tracks were, and it prevented me from sleeping, but if you have children, it would be better to choose another place. Overall, a good place for a couple without children, close to all the sights.

Advantages: 1. The location is very good. The old town attractions can be reached on foot. The path opposite the door is a few steps away from Serkeci Station. It is very convenient to take the subway or tram. 2. The service staff is very professional. The front desk is full of experienced male employees, who are responsive and greet guests in and out. 3. The room is small but well-equipped. 4. The breakfast is particularly good. Breakfast is on the rooftop, with a panoramic view of the three shores. The environment is very good, and the breakfast is also rich, with a lot of traditional food. Disadvantages: 1. It is too small, the room is small, the lobby is small, the elevator is small, the corridor is narrow, and the whole hotel is old and small. 2. There are no toothbrushes in the room. 3. The room is next to the window, and the tram outside is noisy. There is a tram every three or four minutes, and the sound is very loud, and it is very early and late.

The biggest advantage of the hotel is that it is close to the attractions, so you can walk less and save time. The second is the rooftop terrace for viewing, and the third is the rich breakfast. The disadvantage is that the room is indeed small. I think it is very cost-effective.

The air conditioner was so noisy that I couldn't sleep.

The location is generally good if you are not going to get out of the historical center. The staff is always ready to help. On the rooftop is a beautiful, flower-decorated veranda where breakfasts are served. The breakfasts are delicious. The rooms may seem small to some, but we were comfortable.
