We stayed here on 2 seperate occasions for about 4 nights each time in December 2011. Before we arrived the guys on reception were great - helpful and informative via email, and then when we arrived we even more helpful with recommending restaurants, tourist sites, out of the way great experiences and providing information like maps, booklets etc. There were...

Recently stayed at the Sebnem Hotel over the winter break, and it was so fabulous that we cancelled a later reservation elsewhere in Istanbul and went back to the Sebnem. The staff is wonderful - very friendly and helpful but not pushy. Having visited two other hotels in Turkey (one quite cheap, the other higher-end than Sebnem) I can tell... More

Wonderful service, great location, Even our towel hanger in the bathroom was heated (winter), rooftop terrace (indoor/outdoor) with views of the beautiful blue bosphorous below stays open in the evening for a glass of wine, beer or internet. Delightful breakfast with fresh squeezed juices in the morning, cappuccinos, reading materials, newspapers, guidebooks available. Kind, knowledgable laid back staff called out... More

Loved this place. Small and quaint with friendly and helpful staff. In the old town of Istanbul. We stayed in a garden room with a beautiful little garden with a daybed and pillows etc. Home cooked breakfast provided with a good buffet selection. Fantastic location for sightseeing and in the middle of heaps of restaurants. Free computer with internet service... More

Welcoming and knowledgeable staff; very comfortable canopied bed with red, hand- embroidered canopy; 4 plush pillows and goose-down quilt; immaculately clean; strong, hot showers; and fabulous buffet breakfast with Bosphorus views. Wonderful, central old town location and steps away from 4 streets of excellent, reasonably priced restaurants. Free Wi-fi and Net access. The breakfast is amazing, particularly the fresh-squeezed juice... More

We read all the fabulous reviews before we booked and Sebnem met our sky high expectations. Rooms are simple and small, but hardly claustrophobic, and very clean. Breakfast food was plentiful, with lots of variety, most of it very good. The terrace is a terrific place to drink morning coffee or tea and plan your day. Location is great, within... More

Had two rooms here for two nights and the hotel was a fantastic choice. Very central in the old town but that can be said of hundreds of similar small hotels. What made this a great choice was: - clean and tastefully designed bedrooms, there was a quirky style, with a modern bathroom. One of the rooms was smaller but... More

My husband and I spent 2 nights here at the beginning of our trip to Turkey and then another 6 nights at the end of our trip 5 weeks later. We loved this hotel - peaceful, efficient, friendly staff, great breakfasts and wonderful view of the Bosphorus from the roof top dining area. It is within very easy walking distance... More

We began our trip in Turkey by staying in the Sultanahmet area at the Sebnem Hotel. They arranged transportation from the airport for us which went well. This is in a great location on a quiet dead-end street close to many restaurants and within easy walking distance to the Hagia Sophia and the tram line. Our room was small but... More
