    There’s a few constructions sites close to the hotel so at times it could be a bit loud in the morning, nothing they could control and not their fault. Still quiet considering the area and the sites.

    The property is right in the centre of everything, a walk away from the main attractions. The staff is very helpful and friendly! The hotel is clean and we could see the sea from our window.

    Violin Hotel is clean and cozy. Situated at walking distance to the main attractions in Istanbul, it also features parking spaces right in front of the reception. Our 3 night stay was excellent. Very good value.

    The view wasn't great, and the three flights of stairs were a bit of a job after a long day of sightseeing. But not a big deal.

    The location was perfect - steps away from the Blue Mosque and other Sultanahmet monuments. Tuba was the most accommodating, helpful host. She sorted out all our taxi and food troubles quite cheerfully and efficiently. All in all: Pretty little place- we would definitely recommend.

    Walls are a little bit thin and you hear a lot from the neighbors, but it's not a big deal.

    Comfortable bed and clean and spacious room. The staff is friendly and helpful. The access to the spot is easy and the area is comparatively quite (that's Istanbul 😀).

    Everything was perfect

    The best place to be in Istanbul. Everything is close , walking distance to every major mark in the city. Location is perfect . The host is wonderful, possitive and will do evrything to help you out . The rooms are clean and well maintained. Newly renovated and modern . For the price i highly recomend staying here , you wont find anything better . Waking up every morning with the lovely view of the Bosphoros and Aegian sea and going to bed with the beat night view of the blue Mosque. I give 10/10 for everything if i could give more i would.

    The breakfast was good but they served mouldy fruit on the last day of my stay. So Voilin hotel doesn't have breakfast they send you to the hotel next door, I know Voilin hotel has nothing to do with the mouldy fruit but please watch out for the old fruit. It was pretty scary for me coz I am pregnant.

    We enjoyed our stay here, hotel is pretty clean, we were upgraded the first 2 nights for free to 4th floor with great view. Love the mini fridge and kettle in the room, staff and owner are super helpful. we booked a boat trip via the hotel and staff helped us print our boarding pass. Highly recommend.

    There was a smell in the room that came from the toilet drainage. Free water should be kept in the room.

    Mr. Salih and Ms. Tugba was nice and accommodating. They respond to our queries about places we need to go and visit. The location is great, a quiet neighborhood, and nearby to almost all tourist attractions. A well recommended place to stay.

    The smiling face and interest of the staff was very pleasant. They feel like family and help for everything. You can ask them everything you are curious about. The rooms were very comfortable, it is a place very close to transportation to the Sultanahmet Square as a location, it is a hotel close to the seaside, thank you for everything, I will come again.

    as a suggestion: placing a mirror in the room. The rest is perfect.

    The hotel is located 5 minutes from the Sultanahmet Mosque in a quiet area. The hotel is very safe. entry is based on code. Entry to the rooms is by card. It is very clean. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. The rooms have air conditioning, fridge, TV and safe. The bathroom has a shower cabin and a hair dryer. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
