This proximity is where my appraisals end! The rooms are tiny and not very clean. No proper bedding is provided, the towels are old and there is no coffee in the room. Breakfast is better had in a cafe on the streets. I recommend: Find a different place. ##### Kristoph ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 9 Jul 2013 Liked: Cleanliness #### Nice location, clean. Not luxurious. The rooms are pretty small. Nice location, 5 min away from Grand bazar, 20 min away from Haga Sophia and the blue mosque. However, don't expect anything luxurious, which is fine if you only plan on using the hotel to spend the night. One thing, don't use their planning or tour services. They will charge a huge commission on everything they book for you (without telling you obviously). As an example, once, they told us that a shuttle costs 15 euros and when we checked directly with the shuttle company, it was only 10 Euros. They convinced us to take a private shuttle since there were 5 of us. Then, we realized that the shuttle they booked for us wasn't private, as another group of people was there. Did they get the entire trip cost from 2 groups who each thought the shuttle was private? I don't know. ##### Verified traveller ### 4/10 Poor #### jorunn, nær Grand Bazaar 12 Jun 2013 Disliked: Room comfort #### bra beliggenhet, styr unna frokosten imøtekommende personale, små rom, ufattelig dårlig frokost, ikke betjent frokostsal, manglet brød.. ##### jorunn ### 6/10 Okay #### Yves H., France 3 Jun 2013 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Room comfort #### Etablissement sans prétentions très bien situé Etablissement très bien situé abordable, propre et sans fioritures.

Detta hotell rekommenderas varmt för den som vill ha nära till de större sevärdheterna i Istanbuls gamla stadsdel Sultanahmet. Hotellet ligger på promenadavstånd till exempelvis spårvagnshållplatsen (Beyazit) och tar ca 3 - 5 minuter från hotellet. Med spårvagn tar man sig enkelt och snabbt till andra sevärdheter i närheten. Bayazit-moskén och bokmarknaden Sahaflar Carsisi liksom Stora basaren ligger knappt 300 meter från hotellet. Blå moskén, Hagia Sofia och Topkapimuseet ligger bara två hållplatser längre bort eller en promenad på mellan 15 och 20 minuter. Det var läget som fick mig att välja detta hotell. Kan verkligen rekommendera att resa till Istanbul! ##### Daniel ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 29 Mar 2013 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Familienhotel Super war das reichhaltige Frühstück über den Dächern von Istanbul ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 29 Jan 2013 #### Geht so...wenn man einfach nur ein Zimmer braucht. Aufenthalt war "naja"im Hotel hat mich nichts umgehauen.der Ausblick von oben aufs Meer existiert zwar, ist aber nicht auf dem Bosporus sondern af die Seite des Meers, wo nur binnenverkehr ist. Personal fand ich zum Teil sehr unfreundlich, fast schon eine Null Bock Haltung. Das Zimmer war nicht das beste, hatte aber auch einmal ein schlechteres in Paris. Es war zwar aufgeräumt, aber in den Schubladen waren noch kippen und Zeitung, und ich glaube nicht, dass es zum Service gehört (Zeitung von vor drei Tagen). Frühstück war das nötigste. Brot, Marmelade, Käse, Aufschnitt, Oliven. Einzig die Lage war echt Super. In max. 10 min. War man beim großen Bazar, an einer strassenbahnstation. Aber nochmal würde ich das Hotel nicht nehmen. ##### Verified traveller ### 4/10 Poor #### Riky, Campobasso, Italia 22 Oct 2012 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lascia perdere camera sporca e rumorosa... il bagno...ve lo lascio immaginare..

I would never recommend this to my enemy. ##### Verified traveller ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 5 Oct 2012 Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort #### God beliggenhet ,gode senger og lave priser Hotellet hadde meget god beliggenhet og svært gode senger og var rimelig i pris. Det er også stort sett det positive man kan si. Betjeningen var hyggelige, men engelskkunnskapene var svært mangelfulle og gjorde det vanskelig å kommunisere. Den flotte froskostbufeen vi var forespeilet, var en sterk overdrivelse. Det var dårlig utvalg, men det hadde vært greit dersom det lille de hadde var blitt fylt opp når det var tomt. Måtte hver dag spørre etter glass, skjeer og boller til å ha froksotblandingen i og her var ikke betjeningen spesielt blide. Vi var forespeilet et rom med dobbeltseng + enkeltseng ,sjøutsikt , kjøkken og peis (!), men fikk et knøtt lite rom med 3 senger, utsikt til bakgård, ikke kjøkken og peis ( det siste var noe vi ikke savnet). At et hotell ikke svarer til forventningene og at man må innse at man får det man betaler for, er greit. Det å bli forespeilet noe du ikke får, gjør at jeg nok ikke vil ta inn på dette hotellet igjen. ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 25 Sept 2012 Liked: Staff & service #### Poor Location, Poor Breakfast, Average Staff The hotel location is extremely bad as it's very hard to find . The map provided by the hotel is extremely misleading, I had to take half an hour to find the hotel. There are at least over a few dozens hotels in this area, it's impossible to ask the people on the street as they also have no idea or not hearding the hotel at all. The hotel room is just ok, simple and looks clean. The breakfast is not suitable to me, and I only eaten their bread. Coffee, tea and juice are not that acceptable to me too, so i only drink the water. The neighbourhood seems not very safe, however, the people there actually quite nice and not disturbing you at all, even at late night. The staff is ok and some are quite friendly and helpful, while some are not. The good part is there are so many restaurant and shops in this area, and it's close to all the main attractions, it would be an good option when you are in budget and also when you have known how to get there. ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 18 Sept 2012 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Adress Det var inte bra adress. mycket svårt och fel adress och fel telefon nummer. ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### John, Phoenix, AZ, USA 17 Sept 2012 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Hotel location was good once you know it.

Solo la colazione non è abbondante ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Lars, Herning 6 Jan 2012 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Room comfort #### Sembol Hotel - super beliggenhed, for oplevelser Efter et par startvanskeligheder - ingen håndklæder på værelset, minibaren fyldt med efterladenskaber tæt på at gå i forrådnelse, varmen på værelset, der ikke kunne reguleres, manglende internet, som hotellet skriver på hjemmesiden, at der er, var af meget tvivlende kvalitet. Det ene øjeblik var der forbildelse - det næste ikke!!! Men, som jeg starter med at skrive, efter det - så er Sembol Hotel et ok hotel i klassen og beliggenheden er fuldstændig præfekt. Startproblemerne, bortset fra internettet blev hurtigt løst og vi kan varmt anbefale Sembol hotel. ##### Lars ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 28 Oct 2011 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### God belligenhed. Pænt og velholdt hotel, tæt på Bazaren og transport. Der bliver skiftet håndklæder hver dag og sengetøj efter behov, så renligheden er i top. Deres morgen mad er ok, men vi oplevede, at der en dag manglede 1 del af det der var dagen før og personalet virkede ligeglad. Det er "klar dig selv" til morgenmaden og tallerknerne bliver ikke fjernet efter brug og personalet er ikke synligt i lokalet. Det eneste negative er personalet, de hilser ikke på dig, når du møder dem på gangen og virker iøvrigt meget sure og ikke særligt serviceminded. Hvis du bare har brug for en segn seng og noget ok morgenmad, men ikke forventer et serviceminded og smilende personale, så vælg dette hotel for beliggenheden og renligheden er i top. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### John, London 25 May 2011 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Sembol Hotel review - comfy but noisy. Sembol is very comfortable and the staff are friendly and knowledgable. The room rate was very good value and the location is just right - close to the main historical parts of Istanbul, and also close to the Tram. The Breakfast Room is great - with views of the Golden Horn from the top floor as you take your coffee. The only problem was noise - not from the area around the hotel, which was quiet, but from inside the hotel. There is a problem with the internal acoustics which means I could hear other guests closing doors, walking up and down the marble steps and even people having conversations on other floors. ##### John ### 8/10 Good #### Elisabeth, Roskilde 26 Apr 2011 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Udemærket hotel til prisen Hotel med 2 min.s gang til den store bazar. Rigtig god service. Små værelser og badeværelser, men rent og pænt. Dejlig restaurant med udsigt over by by og hav. Kan anbefales. ##### Elisabeth ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Wyndham Grand Istanbul Kalamis Marina Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Wyndham-Grand-Istanbul-Kalamis-Marina-Hotel.h5484206.Hotel-Information) > > [Raffles Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Raffles-Istanbul.h8273536.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Istanbul Bosphorus](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Hilton-Istanbul-Bosphorus.h20867.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Istanbul Bomonti Hotel & Conference Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Hilton-Istanbul-Bomonti-Hotel-Conference-Center.h6226720.Hotel-Information) > > [Aprilis Deluxe Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Aprilis-Deluxe-Hotel.h75696459.Hotel-Information) > > [Address Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Address-Istanbul.h68277409.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at the Bosphorus](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Istanbul-At-The-Bosphorus.h1856092.Hotel-Information) > > [Royan Hotel Hagia Sophia Istanbul, A Member Of Radisson Individuals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Radisson-Hotel-Hagia-Sophia.h75283253.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hyatt Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Grand-Hyatt-Istanbul.h14428.Hotel-Information) > > [Occidental Taksim](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Occidental-Taksim.h1160507.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Istanbul Ataköy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Istanbul-Atakoy.h9127669.Hotel-Information) > > [Ramada Encore By Wyndham Istanbul Basin Express](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Ramada-Encore-By-Wyndham-Istanbul-Basin-Express.h38506356.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton.h565576.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Istanbul City Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Sheraton-Istanbul-City-Center.h38329865.Hotel-Information) > > [Sultanhan Hotel - Special Class](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Sultanhan-Hotel-Special-Class.h1388776.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Istanbul Florya by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Istanbul-Florya.h11628263.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel Istanbul Taksim](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Sofitel-Istanbul-Taksim.h42400472.Hotel-Information) > > [Barcelo Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Barcelo-Istanbul.h32516024.Hotel-Information) > > [Sura Design Hotel and Suites - Boutique Class](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Sura-Design-Hotel-And-Suites-Boutique-Class.h4658802.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Pera Suite Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Villa-Pera-Suite-Hotel.h6186661.Hotel-Information) > > [Conrad Istanbul Bosphorus](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Conrad-Istanbul-Bosphorus.h15234.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Quasar Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Fairmont-Quasar-Istanbul.h16385021.Hotel-Information) > > [The G Hotels Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Divan-Suites-Istanbul-G-Plus.h8768240.Hotel-Information) > > [Bram Hotel Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Bram-Hotel-Istanbul.h42006665.Hotel-Information) > > [Hagia Sofia Mansions Istanbul, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Hagia-Sofia-Mansions-Istanbul.h29743791.Hotel-Information) > > [Swissotel The Bosphorus Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Swissotel-The-Bosphorus-Istanbul.h889869.Hotel-Information) > > [Sura Hagia Sophia Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Sura-Hagia-Sophia-Hotel.h8046669.Hotel-Information) > > [Fer Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Fer-Hotel.h14626941.Hotel-Information) > > [Antea Palace Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Antea-Palace-Hotel-Spa.h200203.Hotel-Information) > > [The St. Regis Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-The-St-Regis-Istanbul.h9719651.Hotel-Information)
