Lock in a great price for Basileus Hotel – rated 9.3 by recent guests!

to get started.

I was treated like a family guest. I appreciated the welcome and the orientation on the area and what to expect at the tourist attractions. The staff was very accommodating. They gave me the confidence I needed to fully explore the area. The major tourist attractions are nearby but require walking uphill (which meant downhill on the return!). The rooms are a nice size. Bathrooms are functional and clean. Hot water was good. Plenty of soap and shampoo provided. Water bottles, tea and coffee were included. Breakfast had MANY options and a nice dining area. I appreciated the video playing that told more about interesting sites in Turkey. There are cafes and convenience stores located nearby. Metered taxi to the airport was 55 lira (approx $11 USD). A shuttle can be arranged for 5 euro. The hotel will arrange for taxi pickup at the airport if desired.

The staff were truly great when it came to answering all of my questions. It was my first time in Istanbul and their advice was a godsend. Also the location was very close to the major historical aites.

Robert, United States of America

Good location close to Sultanahmet tram station. Near the tourist attraction and many restaurant around the hotel Mr.Omar and other staff are friendly and helpful . Breakfast have vast choice and adequate. Value for money. Will come back again.

Hon, Malaysia

Cozy little place tucked away behind the blue mosque. Knowledgable and helpful staff. Good value for money for last minute bookings.

Aneesh, United Arab Emirates

Staff were friendly and personable with a genuine interest in us. Very helpful and willing to help with any queries.

Heather, Australia

Mohammad y Ömer at the reception were very helpful, kind and friendly. Always with interesting suggestions and readiness to help at any moment.

Jose, Spain

Staffs were amazing. They were all very helpful. Location is about 5-7 minutes to the Blue Mosque. Plenty of restaurants in the area. They helped me book my airport transfers (round-trip) which was very convenient because you don't have to worry being ripped off. Breakfast is sufficient, they will cook omelette for you if requested. Free bottled water were also provided on daily basis. Tram station is about 8-10 mins walk. Everything is within walking distance so we barely used the tram. Highly recommended. Will definitely comeback to this hotel if given the opportunity to come back to Istanbul again.

“Great Friendly Staff, Good overall experience”
- • Leisure trip

- • Economy Double Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
Upon our arrival we came to know that our room was in basement which was not mentioned at the time of booking. They didn’t have any room available on top floors. In fairness they offered they offered to change room next day but we had to come in the middle of the day to change the room which was not possible. Breakfast never changed in our 4 day stay. It would have been good touch to change at least few dishes. The bed was not as comfortable as it looked. It was just good enough to crash at night after a long day. The washroom started to stink the 2nd day. They managed to fix it somehow but the smell wasn’t completely gone. Thankfully it was still liveable after they fixed and if the door kept close. The TV didn’t work at all but we were given some discount on our airport transfer price as compensation. The hotel in particular doesn’t have good views even if you get room on top floor. Despite the issues we had, it was still worth for the price we paid. However, other options with better views can be found in the same area.
I booked this hotel based on Booking.com rating of 9.3. In fact I had canceled the other bookings when I found out about this hotel so generally the expectations were quite high. It’s commendable that all the staff members were very helpful, friendly, courteous and would do things with simile on their faces. The other positive point was the location of the hotel. It’s absolutely a great accessible location. Blue Mosques, Hagia Sophia (Ayasofia) are just 5 to 7 minutes walk away. The walk is uphill though. It’s also just 15 minutes from Grand Bazar but again quite long uphill walk too. The room was quite good in size and was clean. It had all the basic amenities. We were there in winters, the heating worked quite well.

Be aware that there is no elevator. Breakfast is on a lower level. My room was on the 3rd floor. The staff helped with luggage but having large luggage might be challenging. I feel confident they would manage. Rooms on the street side might not be able to achieve cave-light darkness. Ask if that is important to you.
