ELİTE HOTEL By MK

I was travelling for business, so I mainly booked this place to take a shower and leave my belongings somewhere safe while meeting with business partners. I chose the location specifically for the balcony views of the mosque. It was a bit noisy at times, but that was part of the experience, and I was aware of it beforehand. The place was clean, and the host did his best to accommodate my needs, even arranging an early check-in for me. The property could use a few touch-ups to meet everyone's expectations, but I honestly think the differences are minor. The host makes up for them by being accommodating and making sure you have a pleasant stay. As a tip for anyone travelling here, **avoid taking a taxi if you can!** It's a rip-off, and the streets can get pretty busy, meaning you'll often take longer to reach your destination. I got around using the metro and tram with an Istanbulkart, which was faster and more reliable than taking a taxi. There are also plenty of attractions within a 15–20-minute walk, including the Grand Bazaar. Overall, if you're looking for a convenient place to stay, with nice views and a helpful host, this is a decent option.

Location and the owners are excellent and super accommodating!!! Thank you…

All was perfect

We stayed in the room with balcony. The room was very clean, the property is on a very nice street near Little Sofia Mosque. The balcony was great, overlooking the Mosque, the garden, and you can also see a little bit of the sea. Communication with the host was very good. Ugur answered all our questions and was very prompt and helpful. He also helped us book some attractions that we wanted to attend. Totally recommend.

Superb location, very close to bus stop from and to airport. Very close to Hagia Sophia. Very clean room, super nice host :) Lovely stay, you can even see the Bosphorus from the balcony. Value for money amazing, definitely recommend!

Bear in mind, although great location, across the street from hotel is a mosque, so be prepared to very loud prayers at night or early in the morning. They are quite short, but it is an interesting experience.
