to get started.

The hotel is very close to many of the major attractions, and also within walking distance to stations (tram, train or ferry) from which to get around the city or to the airport. The staff is really friendly and helpful with any issue. The view from the terrace is very nice and the breakfast served there is great. After booking the room I was informed via email with a more detailed description (entrance floor location, room, bathroom and window sizes and the lack of an elevator) which I really appreciated, since it lets you know what to expect.

Otto, Romania

The staff was very polite and accommodating. They upgraded our room free of any charges. The room was really cute and furnished in pastel colors and very clean. The best part was the breakfast!! It was just marvelous.. Definitely a nice place for a young couple to stay.

Nickshil, India

Best value for money, lovely breakfast, the room is comfortable, as well as the matresses, but most of all - the hospitality was so warm - three different guys were in the reception during our stay, and they all were so welcoming, helpfull and so nice - the staff is beyond expectations.

Orly, Israel

The breakfast and view is a plus. The location is perfect to visit sights in the old city.

Anna, United States of America

Good location, warm and welcoming environment, nice view from the terrace. Wonderful staff, especially Cetin, who takes good care of every guest with sincerity.

Enni, China

Tremendous location and very helpful staff who are very knowledgeable and helpful - highly recommend this wonderful place!!!

Hasan, United States of America

Choice for Breakfast was excellent. Location was fantastic (near all historic sites of Istanbul). Staff were very helpful and went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. They helped with all our queries regarding travel, food etc.

Rajendra, Nepal

The staff went above and beyond the call of duty to help us navigate the various markets by specifying very reputable merchants from Carpets, pottery, spices and restaurants. Engin and Chetin, two of the best front desk staff could not do enough to help us. the hotel is a ancient Turkish building with no elevators and we were staying on the third floor. These guys took all our luggage to our room and made sure that we lifted none of our bags. The breakfast was very good. They recommended a city tour that was not only reasonable in price but very enjoyable. We highly recommend this place for their outstanding service.

Abraham, United States of America

My friend and I didn't even get to the hotel until nearly 2am, but there was someone waiting for us when we arrived. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was clean and nice, and the air conditioner was a life saver. The decor was a lovely bonus. The breakfast buffet was good for a complimentary breakfast, and the view from the terrace was stellar.

Rachel, United States of America

Staff was very friendly & helpful, breakfast was plentiful & tasty on roof terrace with nice view , room was very clean & comfortable for us with our teenage son. Location so convenient but off the main roads so nice & quiet to sleep

Nothing... I was there for a week and it made a good base to explore from.
Located just below the Aya Sofya, near a number of bars, restaurants and shops the hotel was a brief walk to the central sites in the Sultanahmet area. Also easy to access trams and the Metro to move further afield. Getting to and from the airport by public coach was straightforward as it drops off/ picks up three times an hour to the Sultanahmet area outside the Aya Sofya. Using an Istanbulkarte (TL6) topped up for travel, e.g. airport one way, TL18 and the trams and Metro makes sense. My room was comfortable and everything that needed to work did so. Breakfast offered a wide range of items plus drinks in the rooftop terrace area. Staff were pleasant and helpful at all times. I would happily stay here again if I visit the city again.

The walls were really thin, I could hear people talking outside in the lobby area and also any movement in the neighbouring room. There aren't many wall sockets so you can only charge a couple of devices at a time.
The hotel is very close to many of the major attractions, and also within walking distance to stations (tram, train or ferry) from which to get around the city or to the airport.

Very ugly and loud neibourghood. Hotel from the outside looked also not too pretty, but surrounding area looks like after war, very ugly houses, ruins and only pretty building were city walls. View is not nice. Terrace need maintanance. Only thing i dont like about breakfast was coffee. Tastes like nescaffee. Our room was little bit small, no balcony (but its not very important)
Personal, Onur with Chat are great guys, funny, frirndly. Nonstop terrace is a great idea, not the prettiest one but still quite nice. Amazing breakfast russian lady and her homemade cakes! Spasiba. Comfortable beds, clean rooms, nice traditional osman decor of the interiors. City need more nice looking osman and byzantine architecture to attract more people. Hotel is really good and we would probably return back one day. Thanks

Nothing, it was amazing! Just be aware that there are several flights of stairs - they carried our luggage up for us which was lovely, so only a problem if you have mobility issues.
Esans is located a 5 minute walk from the Topkapı Palace, the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sophia Museum. All of the staff are very friendly and helpful, and the room was clean and tidy and of a decent size. We will stay here again next time!

During our stay in Istanbul, we like this hotel the most. Engin and his colleagues were always on hand to help plan our day or tours, advised on where to shop and where to eat and even help to buy foodstuffs, such as turkish delight and local delicacies at much cheaper prices than those available at the touristy shops for us to bring home ! Fantastic service. Most importantly, we feel welcomed and safe staying at Esans Hotel. Breakfast spread was sufficiently wide to cater for different tastebuds. Good view while enjoying breakfast. Superb location to most of the major tourist sites - in fact within walking distance ! Highly recommended.

Just a little misunderstanding due to booking.com which showed a double bed while booking a double room, was a queen bed instead
Location and staff extremely friendly and helpful

“Decent accommodation in the old part of Istanbul”

As mentioned, the room was bit outdated. Cleaning wasn't done properly, there was dust on the floor when we arrived. The street noise level was sometimes disturbing, the windows isolation seemed to not do a very good job. The breakfast was too "traditional" for my taste, maybe a more international one would be better. Also, the breakfast room needs a proper renovation.
The location is perfect, right in the old city, at approximately 5 minutes walk from Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace. There's a wide variety of shops and local restaurants in the area. The Standard room was spacious enough, but a bit outdated - it definitely looks better in the online pictures, than in reality. The staff was very friendly and helpful, during the three days stay. Nice view of the Sea from the third floor, where the room was located.
