Lotus Hotel

The owner was so helpful and friendly, and he really made the hotel feel like home! The location was great, a few minutes from the water, in the evening it's nice to go for a walk along the water towards Eminonu. It was easy to get the tram or bus from very near the hotel. I had a very yummy lentil soup for breakfast!! The wifi was great and my room was lovely. I will definitely come back next time I visit Istanbul!

The hotel is more like a guest house. The energy in this accommodation was really good. The owner knows English very well, and he is such a good-hearted person. The lady who prepared the breakfast was ADORABLE. And the breakfast was varied, big, and delicious. There are adorable cats in this hotel, and they are silent and playful. The internet was fast, the location was good, near good local restaurants with good prices, and a 3-minute walk to Posa Specialty Coffee Roastery. The beds were comfortable, the sheets were clean, and the room was clean. The bathroom was nice also. Don't expect 5 stars or luxury, expect good energy, nice vibes, an amazing owner, and friendly staff. There was a link at the sink, but this can be fixed, and didn't bother us. Be aware that there is a mosque nearby, and around 4:30 a.m., there is a prayer. Bring earplugs, and you will be fine.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and even helped us carry our suitcases up to the room, which we really appreciated. They were very kind and attentive throughout our stay. We also loved the charming cats and dogs on the property, made the atmosphere even more cozy. The location is excellent, within walking distance of the Balat district, making it very convenient for exploring the area. Overall, a lovely experience, and we would definitely recommend this place to others!

The staff was very kind and helpful and the breakfast was plentiful. There are many shops and bakery in the area. There are 2 dogs and a cat in the hotel.

The room was not completely clean (for example dirty bed sheets) and a little bit far from the city centre. There are 2 mosque near the hotel, from which you can hear the prayers loudly late at night and early in the morning.
