Lock in a great price for Rast Hotel – rated 8.2 by recent guests!

to get started.

This is my 4th visit to Rast Hotel, love the old charm of the hotel and very convenient to all the attractions. Staff very friendly. Breakfast is buffet and there is plenty of choice, and the view from the breakfast bar is spectacular, you could almost touch the Blue Mosque.

Kim, United Kingdom

Location and the view from the terrace are the best of the hotel. Breakfast is average. Staff are helpful and polite ( in one occasion not !)

The location of the hotel was excellent. About 5 minutes walk to the tram station & a few steps to the famous attractions such as Hagia Sofia, The Blue Mosque & Basilica Cistern. Around 10 minutes walk to the shopping place the Grand Bazaar. They also have great view of Hagia Sofia & The Blue Mosque at rooftop while enjoying their buffet breakfast. The reception staff were very nice and accomodating. I would really recommend this hotel to my other friends who would like to visit Istanbul.

Mathilde, France

The location was the best suited for me. Walking distance to transport, and all the lovely historical must see areas. The breakfast and view from the terrace is lovely.

Mahmut, Australia

The view from the terrace and our room was spectactular. We had book a triple room and got a suite with an extra bed hence the views I think. Good breakfast.

“A good location hotel but with many negatives”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children

눉Wallpapers need to be changed at least in the suite. Suite is a little bit bigger than an average double room. Some stains on the carpet . Leaks from the shower in the twin double bed. Stains on the floor of the bathroom with some Molds on the bathroom of the suite. Most furniture need urgent replacement. Most faculties in the room / bathroom need renovation.

눉The ACU in our room was hot. We call the attention of the guy at the reception but it seems they can't do anything about it since the aircon was centralized. The next morning they offered us to transfer to different room, but we refused because we already settled our things in the room, instead, we just ask if they have available electric fan, and they are helpful enough to provide us one.
눇The location of the hotel was excellent. About 5 minutes walk to the tram station & a few steps to the famous attractions such as Hagia Sofia, The Blue Mosque & Basilica Cistern. Around 10 minutes walk to the shopping place the Grand Bazaar. They also have great view of Hagia Sofia & The Blue Mosque at rooftop while enjoying their buffet breakfast.

“Could do better...”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉While the breakfast room had a view it didn't have anyone to welcome you or explain the set up. Hot drinks were, I found out, not included as part of the inclusive breakfast. The hallways were all dark. The bedroom was dated and the balcony door wouldn't shut and the bathroom had seen better days (curious window allowing you to see who was in bed while you were in the shower 😂). Biggest down point was on checking out the receptionist tried to get me pay for the room even though I paid online; all very dodgy.
눇The breakfast room was wonderful in terms of the view, which was unique and spectacular. The reception hall was also rather fun and looks like Liberace lived there. Room was wonderfully quiet and dark giving me a great nights sleep.

눉Because of the upgrade we had a double bed and they added an extra bed. The extra bed was broken and very uncomfortable. They could not change it the first night and for the second and third night they borrow one from another hotel. This definitely did not replace the bed we had book and was again uncomfortable.
눇The view from the terrace and our room was spectactular. We had book a triple room and got a suite with an extra bed hence the views I think. Good breakfast.
