I particularly appreciate the rooftop terrace, offering personalized service alongside city views. It's a renovated space that retains the best of its historical setting, down to the resident cat that adds a unique charm.”

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Mest Hotel Istanbul Sirkeci is widely appreciated for its prime location, steps away from key attractions like the Spice Market and easily accessible via the Eminonu tram stop. Guests often highlight the modern and clean interiors, converted from a former shopping center, and the comfortable rooms with great showers. The breakfast, served with fantastic views from the top-floor restaurant, is another frequently praised feature, though some guests have noted occasional street noise or difficulty with street access during market days. many find it a great choice for exploring Istanbul.

amazing stay with awesome staff!

superb locationfriendly staffbreakfast viewssmall wardrobe

the location is superb! it's a very short walk to the spice bazaar and also to the tram station, a huge plus. the staff really were very good, so helpful and friendly, i was genuinely impressed! the breakfast on the rooftop had views to die for, it was a real highlight each morning (i especially loved the fresh orange juice).

The family room was a bit small. with four people, we found the single wardrobe to be insufficient. We needed more storage space.

the hotel provides airport transfers that i booked with assistance from the reception. i also noticed they have a rooftop bar that looked amazing, though i didn't get a chance to try it. the breakfast area is located on the fifth floor, offering city views.

Dining

the breakfast buffet had a rich and varied selection of foods, offering both local and international options. i asked the chef to prepare a traditional turkish egg dish called 'malemen' which was delicious. fresh juices are available, though there is an extra charge of 4€.

our family room was clean and well-appointed, though somewhat compact (we had the one without windows). the bathroom had basic amenities, including complimentary toiletries. the air conditioning worked effectively, maintaining a good temperature in the room.

The hotel boasted an excellent location near the Spice Bazaar. The styling showed great attention to detail. The room offered an excellent layout and ample size. I found the interior work provided a high-end feel.

The soundproofing was not completely effective. Some noise transferred between rooms.
