The door only locks if you remove your hotel key from the slot. This means your lights, chargers, AC - all electricity must be off if you want to sleep with a locked door. This is ridiculous. They don't even have proper manners or even a bottle of water on them.

Nice hotel, friendly staff, close to everything

I stayed at this hotel for a month and enjoyed it. The hotel is nice, clean, and comfortable. The staff is very kind. Once I needed help scanning and printing a document for work, and the person at the front desk was able to assist me. The front desk people go out of their way to make sure you have a good stay and give great recommendations. The hotel has a lot of restaurants, cafes, markets, and shoppes along the street and is only 10-15 minutes walking from the Grand Bazaar, closer via taxi/ Uber. The food place on the corner is 24/7, which is wonderful if you’re a night person like me. Also, easy access to the trains and ferries to get to the other parts of Istanbul. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone travelling to Istanbul!

Terrible motel like hotel. Do not go if you are expecting a smoke fee room. It smells like a dirty old motel. And the hallways and stairs are extremely dangerous- no light until you are half way down the dangerous no railed twirled stairs

Terrifying Lift Experience – Use at Your Own Risk

My stay at this hotel included a very frightening experience that I wouldn't wish on anyone. I got stuck in the tiny lift for 15–20 minutes. It barely fits one person and a suitcase, and there’s no ventilation. I wasn’t calling for help, just banging on the door, and thankfully it got stuck near reception so they could hear me. There is no backup generator, so when the electricity goes out, the lift simply stops working. I started to feel short of breath, and after I told them I couldn’t breathe properly, they eventually broke the door open to get me out. I was staying on the 5th floor and never used the lift again after that. Even during checkout, I left my suitcase in the lift and took the stairs myself because I couldn’t risk going through that again. They offer free breakfast at a nearby 2–3 star hotel, which was okay, but honestly, the fear from that experience has stayed with me. Cleanliness was average. They cleaned the room every other day with just a mop and a quick surface wipe. Rooms are very small and, in my opinion, not worth the price. If you choose to stay here, do NOT use the lift. It’s not safe.

I had a wonderful stay at Santefe Hotel in Istanbul! From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming, attentive, and always ready to help with anything I needed. The hotel has a warm and cozy atmosphere, making it feel like a true home away from home. The rooms were very clean, well-maintained, and comfortable, with everything I needed for a relaxing stay. I especially appreciated the attention to detail in both the décor and the amenities. The location is also excellent—close to many key attractions, restaurants, and public transport, making it easy to explore the city.

I would strongly recommend the Santefe Hotel. The value is unbeatable but it is also supported by N extremely friendly staff. The room is small but adequate for 2 people who spend most of their time outside visiting or sleeping. The baths are modern and big enough for 2 at the same time. They are many great restaurants and attractions around and it is only a $15 cab ride to almost anywhere. Book there and save your money for tours on the bay of Istanbul. I give the Santefe Hotel a 5 star rating without hesitation.

I had an amazing experience staying at this hotel during my visit to Istanbul. The location is absolutely perfect — nestled in a vibrant area full of life, charming restaurants, and cozy cafés, all beautifully lit up in the evenings. The atmosphere is truly magical, especially at night when the streets come alive with color and energy. The reception staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful from the moment I arrived. They provided detailed information about the area, transport, and things to do, always with a smile. Their hospitality made me feel right at home. I also really appreciated the cleanliness of the hotel. I requested daily cleaning, and the housekeeping team did a fantastic job every single time. The room was always spotless and fresh when I returned from a day out exploring. Overall, this hotel exceeded my expectations. If you're looking for a comfortable, well-located, and friendly place to stay in Istanbul, I highly recommend it. I would definitely come back again!
