The room we stayed in was bright and clean and disposed of everything we could possibly need.

Very convenient location for local attractions and restaurants, nice size bedrooms, very pretty interiors…

After our beautiful cruise in Turkey we had a short stay in this hotel, very well located because close to the palaces and sites to visit,
large room and large bathroom very well equipped, the staff was endearing and they helped us very well in our organization to visit Istanbul, booking restaurants and buses,
we loved this hotel that we will recommend to our friends

Amazing location, exceptional personal service, well appointed rooms (make sure you ask/pay  for the suite) and delightful breakfast.

And it was an amazing experience, the location is brilliant very convenient for sightseeing.

Close to all locations and very welcoming and caring staff.

Location is great - mostly closed off street open to pedestrian traffic, right next to Gulhane park, tram and metro stops, walking distance to major tourist landmarks - Topkapi palace, Hagia Sofia, Basilica Cisterns, Blue Mosque, Egyptian & Grand Bazaars, hammams and bridges.

The rooms are spacious, the beds are comfortable, the shower is great  the breakfast is delicious and the location is perfect.

The location is perfect, close to the metro  and the hotel is quite and cosy.

Location is perfect, on a quiet street close to most attractions and tram stop.

The location is outstanding; across from Gulhane Park, steps from Sultanahmet (where the Blue Mosque & Ayasofya are), traffic free street.

Location is gold,  well centered between Sirkeci Metro Station to the left and Gulhane tram station to the right.

For starters, the location is incredible.

This fabulous boutique hotel—conveniently located within easy walking distance to all of the top historical sites and sights —is a perfect place to call home while in istanbul.

It's located near all major historical sites.

Great hotel - excellent location, near all the major sites.

The location is close to major attractions.

The shower was a little wierd, the bath doesn't drain unless you take out the plug.

I had forgotten to bring a plug adaptor with me and they were quick to lend me one for the duration of my stay.

We had the wonderful breakfast buffet and didn’t really need a lot more to eat the rest of the day.

The evening reception host was able to secure a table for me for dinner and it was an excellent place to go where views of the city could be found from rooftop dining.

Especially Sukru with all his suggestions of restaurants and helping make reservations and also helped us to navigate the place and arrange our tours.

What impressed us the most about this hotel was not the incredible accommodations, meals and amenities.

The hotel is also in a convenient spot around restaurants, the tram, a gorgeous park and walking distance from alot of attractions.

Dining is great - great buffet, attended by great staff, afternoon tea, water and fruits when you go out, and great recommendations for restaurants in any area of the city.

Breakfast was excellent, plenty of tasty choices.

Among the many kindnesses, they made dinner reservations, arranged for round trip airport transfer (well worth the money for weary travelers), recommended activities,  and were consistently indulgent, patient and kind.

Staff was very accommodating with restaurant recommendations and arranging for PCR test (required for re-entry to US) at hotel.

but on a quote street, close to some very nice restaurants.

With local tourist sites are very close with lots of restaurants near by and near bazaar

The Sirkeci Mansion is near these landmarks: Kucuk Ayasofya - Gazi Suleyman Pasa Mosque, Eurosa Travel, Keyfi Alem Playstation Cafe, Hayal İstanbul Maltepe, Chiesa di Sant'Andrea Apostolo e Santa Sofia Vedova, Covered Bazaar, Sultan II.

The hotel arranged the trip to Bursa and Uludag for us with one of their tour agents which was good price at 40USD per person which included pickup/dropoff, lunch, cable ride.

Would definitely stay here again as it is so well situated to walk to everything and a great array of restaurants nearby without having to wander too far in the evenings.

Amazing location, clean and spacious rooms, good wifi, delicious breakfast, and walking distance to many sights and plenty of restaurants.

Good: Cost, location, staff
Not so great: Rooms smelled a bit musty, the gym isn't very good, breakfast was just OK.

Upon arrival, we were placed in a room that had a bit of a smokey odour (from a recent fire down the street).

The hotel has a sauna, small pool and gamma!

Though if your interested in swimmkng, the pool is really small.

You are down the street from the tram stop, across the street from Gulhane Park, and a ~ 5-minute walk from Topkapi Palace and the archaelogical museum.

Topkapi Palace is in easy walking distance, as is Haya Sofia, the Blue Mosque, the Egyptian Bazar, and many restaurants and shops.

Despite being located close to the center of the heavily trafficked Sultan Ahmet area (Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque, museums, ferries, waterfronts), this hotel is on a quiet street and overlooking Gulhane Park, yielding a very peaceful and beautiful experience, especially if you can get a balcony room.

Very quiet and well located place close to Topkapi palace 
The staff is perfect and we also tried the cooking course which is very original.

I can only highly recommend Sirkeci Mansion, the tram stop is only a few metres away, it is also walking distance from Topkapi palace and right next to Gülhame Park.

This stylish boutique hotel is located next to the grounds of Topkapi Palace and is within walking distance of all the sites in old Istanbul—Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Hippodrome, Basilica Cistern, and Grand Bazaar.

Had a lovely stay and will definitely recommend to family and friends

Close to topkapi palace the tram line and the Gulhane stop plus lots of cool places to shop

It is located with easy walking distance of the Topkapi Palace and a very short tram journey to St Sophia and the Blue Mosque.

Sirkeci Mansion is a boutique hotel within walking distance from Istanbul’s main attractions such as Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace or Grand Bazaar.

A lovely hotel in the shadows of the walls of Topkapi Palace - very convenient location for a walking tour of the historic district of Istanbul.

Topkapi Palace is just right across the street and Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque were just further up the hill.

but you can walk (5-15 minutes) to all the highlights as Hagia Sofia, Topkapi Palace, Sultan Ahmetmoskee, Grand Bazaar, etc.

We had a Deluxe suite at the top of the hotel which had its own balcony with views over the park by the Topkapi Palace.

The location is brilliant as it's literally outside of Topkapi Palace.

The room was on the top floor overlooking the Topkapi Palace park and had a large balcony.

The hotel is within 15-minute walk of major attractions; Sultan Ahmet & Topkapi Palace, Bosphorus tours.

The Topkapi Palace, where the emperors (Sultans) lived is across the road set just beyond the famous Gülhane Park.

This is an old mansion and is in a good area to walk to Topkapi palace and Hagia Sophia.

From the moment we walked in, we were genuinely and warmly greeted at the front desk by Araz.

It’s in the old historic Centre near the Hagia Sophia & Gülhane Park area so it’s a great for walking to mosques of interest and the Grand Bazaar too.

He is happy to make reservations for pretty much anything, and he conducts in-depth tours (complementary to hotel guests, with culinary walk adding a nominal fee) that you should definitely join.

The hotel has a very convenient location for walking around all the great sights of Istanbul.

I found this place by accident as I was walking through the city.

You can also walk to the Spice Bazaar and Grand Bazzaar.

If you dont like to walk, you have a tram stop just about 50 meters away, and Marmary train station also close by.

but unheard from the hotel, and you're a short walk to the Aya Sophia, Blue Mosque, and other sites in one direction, a short walk in the other direction to Eminonu, the ferry piers, Galata Bridge, New Mosque and Rustem Pasa, Gulhane Park a minute away, and both touristy and non-touristy shopping and restaurants everywhere.

Unbeatable location opposite the green Gulhane park and short walk to both tram and Marmaray stations, we lived in the atmospheric Sirkeci area

It was perfect experience,  hotel location is great , staff are very coperative abd speak english very well , rooms are comfortable  clean and have nice view .1 minute walking to Gulhana Tram ( T1) and 5 minutes walking to sirkeci Marmaray .

The manager of the hotel, Okay, is wonderful and provides some very interesting walking tours of the city which are free and provide a great insight into this culturally fascinating city.

Easy to walk around the late evening considering we were here only for a few hours

but quiet hotel, a very short walk to the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque and Galata Bridge and water transport.

Such a wonderful experience 
The best location in the old city quite street yet walk to every important site !

its 10 minutes to the sultanahmet mosque square and the hagia sofia and 10 minutes walk from the grand bazar and the misri bazar and the eminuno station.

The hotel is located right in the market place, walking distances to the famous mosques and Grand Bazaar.

The location is central and easy to walk to the old Town major attractions.

The rooms were basic,  clean and beds comfortable.

Very clean and the housekeeping was better than some 4 star hotels I've been in.

thanks hotel staff for positive ambience, quality service, clean room, nice arranged, international breakfast.

Yet somehow, the room was very affordable and clean.

We checked out from another hotel to this one,the hotel is so clean ,breakfast is good,staff are very friendly and helpful.

The hotel is a small, cozy, clean, warm  and humble.

The room itself is very neat and clean, beautifully color coordinated and the bowl of shampoos and body washes is a treat for the eyes.

The hotel is very nice and clean located in a quite street.

I stayed here with my wife The hotel location was amazing close to all major site Blue mosque 5 minutes by walking,Hagia sofia and topkapı palace very close to hotel by walking the room was very clean breakfast so delicious family hotel l am sure we will come here again thank you mr.Isa and Mrs Bircan for your hospitality

The biggest plus point during our stay was hotel’s cleanliness which is maintained by ever smiling Maria, who was also responsible for preparing early morning breakfasts.

Very clean and safe hotel will be coming back

Hotel is immaculately clean, white walls with blue accents.

The rooms are very clean and they offer a great breakfast.

This hotel is very close by the blue mosque, hogia sophia, Topkapi palace and all the museums.They serve a great breakfast and  the rooms are very clean.

but very clean, and the bathroom was fitted to a surprisingly high spec for a small hotel.

You can acces so many places with tramva and metro, just buy "an istanbul card"
Here is a picture of Fouad the manager.

I just hope they don't start charging 5-star prices!

Only one detail: even if they accept credit cards, the hotel prefers that guests pay in cash (that has happened everywhere in our journey through the Middle East, so take it into account if you plan to travel using only plastic).

but we didn't have Euros since we planned to pay with the credit card.

We arrived early from the cruise port (Taxi charged us 15 Euros) and our room was not yet ready as it was only 10:00am and normal check in was in the afternoon.

but I did pay by card as we didn't have enough cash.

You can either pay TL2 for a token or buy a transportation card which you top up with money (strangely, these are sold by regular kiosks selling other things, like kebabs).

- Credit cards; While Minel Hotel does accept credit cards it seemed to be quite a battle to be allowed to pay with one.

but awesome for 1 and good for 2
Room has everything well set and looks lovely also colorful 

- Breakfast 
Was simple but unique, and ask Ms Laila as she makes amazing eggs 

- Wifi
I was on the 2nd floor and had no issues with WiFi was good enough 

-PRICE VALUE
Just amazing as I couldn’t think of anything better as a package for the price paid.

+ The Administration of the Hotel provides a pleasant atmosphere to guests through their hospitality and cordial behavior.

Very good atmosphere .walk around and engoy your travel .i wish i will go there again.

We stayed 36 hours on this hotel, good breakfast, friendly atmosphere, not a noise at night, comparing to price this hotel is the first one which I gave full number.

The decor is very chic - bright blues and lamps shaped like grape clusters.

Breakfast was buffet style & cooked by welcoming lady.

but cozy and warmth, with super comfy bed and have a good view to the street from window..
- We also very very enjoyed by the breakfast menu that Minel had, sooo delicious
- And we love the super friendly staff who helped us a lot during our stay in Istanbul
- Hotel location is the best for us, easy to explore all the istanbul attraction by walking distance
We will 100 percent come back again.

The hotel is conveniently located in Sultanahmet, which means being at the centre of the old world charm and 5 min walking from all the pre 18th century landmarks such as Blue Mosque.

It is sleek and modern, that was what we were looking for.

I loved the bright, fresh colour palette against the calming white.

We had a walk up room, well decorated, with fridge and nice and clean.

The rooms were decorated all white with turquoise accents, very pretty!

cozy room, good breakfast, great wifi, wonderful front desk/kitchen staff.

but quaint, clean, and the decor is amazing!

This is a poorly run hotel located in a great area .

Location is great, is in the center of the old town, is short distance to the blue mosque, grand bazaar, the ferry terminal, and public transportation.

The location is great.The personnel was great.For every question, they have answer,specially Musa and other man.

The location is ideal (close to the tram and the big sights)

I could see a minarette of the Hagia Sophia from my window and I was close to the metro so perfect location.

I think this hotel is good value, amazing location and the staff are friendly.

The location is perfect.my only comment was about the rooms,its too small,suitable for backpacks passengers not for permanent stay.other wise it had a good view and a mini bar.

I did like this hotel because it is in the nice location and very good berakfast they offer us .

and some reasons for that are 
- Location 10/10 
For that, absolutely middle of everything.

A wonderful location next to very friendly restaurants.

For around 20 € per night breakfast included, it's really a grat value considering the location.

The location is also awesome, close to main sight seen places.

+ The Hotel is located at 5 Minutes distance from Gulhane Station of T1 Tram, which makes it easier to move from hotel to other parts of city.

but due to the location of the hotel stayed a extra two night exploring Sultanahmet with all the sights within walking distance.

The Minel Hotel is near these landmarks: Kucuk Ayasofya - Gazi Suleyman Pasa Mosque, Eurosa Travel, Keyfi Alem Playstation Cafe, Hayal İstanbul Maltepe, Chiesa di Sant'Andrea Apostolo e Santa Sofia Vedova, Covered Bazaar, Sultan II.

It is right next to the Antic restaurant which is full of locals, always a good sign.

but tasty, as are most of the continental breakfasts in the area.

surrounded with bazaars and big variety of restaurants.

This is a very enjoyable place just in the middle of Sultanahmet ; a few steps away from the Sofia museum & Blue Mosque, as well as the tram station and a varierty of restaurants.

There are lots of cheap places to eat around.

It is close to the historical places, Gülhane Park, tramway station, cafes, restaurants, supermarket, pharmacy.

And it have a good access to local restaurant.

Hotel is a small, charming and slightly quirky place in a tiny side street about 5 mins from the prime area to get to all the main sights in the Old City, as well as a good shopping and restaurant street.

Also do take recommendations for some great local restaurants from the hotel staff.

+Very clean, room service and towels every day.

Breakfast was simple and tasty and always set us up well for the day.

& like the first time.. the rooms are very clean, the breakfast has a good combination of food.. the staff is very helpful & friendly.. there is an AC in each room.. the bath room is a bit small..

This hotel is located on a quiet side street, just off the main tram line (nice restaurant at corner too) close to the Hagia Sophia, Hippodrome, Blue Mosque district.

If I return to Istanbul would certainly stay here again as the location was perfect for sightseeing, surrounded by bars & restaurants & the hotel clean & comfortable.

In a gridlocked city you want a hotel in the old town where you can walk to all the main attraction and there is a good choice of restaurants close by.

but contained whatever we liked to eat in the mornings.

The staff were very helpful and answered all our questions and made helpful suggestions about where to go and where to eat etc.

Our room  at the second floor had an AC, fridge and tv, there were no noice from neighbors.

There are only 2-3 rooms per floor, so a tiny hotel.

but maybe this can be avoided if the room is in 2nd or 3rd floor.

It is important to note that if you have been allocated a top floor room as we and our friends had, that it is a real considerable climb up the stairs and not for the unfit.

The hotel is located up a small alley off the main tram route, our room was on the first floor so only had to negotiate one set of stairs with our bags.

Staying on the first floor, you could also hear a bit of noise coming from ground floor at breakfast time so i would recommend asking for a room on level 2 or 3.

As for the noise, you could hear people coming in or out the other rooms on the same floor, so the sound insulation could be better.

Lots of stairs (curving staircase) if you don't have a first floor room.

No lift, so bad luck if your room is in third floor.

Taxis cannot get to the front, still need to go down the stairs, not the most convenience if you are traveling with luggage.

The only negative and this a BIG one in my book is that you should never under any circumstance book a taxi through the hotel.

When a manager in the hotel called a taxi for me, I repeatedly confirmed with him that a taxi was one with a meter.

Also, be wary of the crazy taxi drivers and the huge tourist buses that like to block traffic.

Yes, the rooms are beyond tiny, yes the stairway is winding, slippery and treacherous, yes, it is off the beaten track and hard for a taxi to find.

Tea and coffee served in the lobby all the day for free 
The hotel may be hard to find by taxi.

We made the return journey by standard taxi for about £14, which would have been a problem if the for of us had a lot of luggage.

First of all I have to say do not worry that you cannot see the hotel when the taxi driver drops you off.

Topkapi palace, blue mosque, hagia sofia, grand bazar you name it.

Plus points of the Hotel
+ The Hotel is located in Main Sultanahmet District in walking distance from Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque and other attractions.

Perfect location-a long block down the hill from Sultanahmet Square, on an alley across from the gardens of Topkapi Palace, on the tram line.

Please take the staff advice on timings for visiting Hagia Sofia and Blue mosque n Topkapi Palace.

The Minel is located a stones throw from the major sights - Topkapi Palace, Sultanhamet and the Hagia Sophia.

We stayed here this week as a female travellers , the hotel is clean friendly and has a great location..

This small boutique hotel is located across the street from Topkapi Palace and just 5 minutes on foot from the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia.

The hotel is across the street from Gulhane Park and Topkapi Palace and in walking distance from Ayasofya, Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern, Egyptian Obelisk, Constantine Column, Serpent Column, Fountain of Kaiser Wilhelm II, New Mosque, Suleymaniye Mosque, Istanbul University, Beyazit Mosque, Beyazit Tower, Grand Bazar, Misir Bazar, Galata Bridge, Galata Tower, Neve Shalom Synagogue.

Located in the heart of Sultanahmet, Minel hotel offers friendly atmosphere and delicious breakfast prepared by the sweet Maria  :) Walking distance to Aya Sofya, Topkapi Palace and the most important sites.

Excellent location - minutes away from Gulhane Tram station (near Topkapi Palace).

It is literally across the street from the entrance to Gulhane Park (Topkapi Palace and the Archeology Museum) and a block from the Hagia Sofia and the Blue Mosque.

Sitting steps from the Topkapi Palace, this small (I believe there are only 8 or 9 rooms), very modern, very clean & reasonably priced hotel is a real find.

Minel hotel close area for topkapi palace,hagia sofia and blue mosque only 5 minute by walking.

This is a lovely great small hotel,hurt of the old town(Sultanahmet).You do not need to have a taxi,bus and train..Just walking distance from hotel to Blue Mosque in a 5 minutes or to Hogia Sophia same distance and Topkapi Palace is just 3 minutes fare way..They have a great breakfast and always smiling face ,you feel like at home..
