While it's an old building you can hear the noise outside

It's right at the hustle ans bustle in Kadiköy

Things to Keep in Mind: No Elevator: As a rustic hotel, it only has stairs, so traveling light is recommended. If you have heavy luggage, the staff will help, but it’s something to consider.

Our stay at Sarniç Butik Otel was the perfect way to end our trip to Turkey. The hotel is in an excellent location, right in the city center, surrounded by amazing restaurants, bars, and markets—everything we needed for our last days. Fantastic Location: The hotel is in the heart of the city, making it easy to explore and enjoy the vibrant local scene. Helpful and Friendly Staff: The staff were great, always welcoming and ready to assist with anything we needed. Rustic Charm: The hotel has a cozy and traditional feel, adding to its charm. Assistance with Luggage: Though there is no elevator, the staff kindly helped us carry our heavy luggage to the second floor without any hesitation. Good Breakfast: A simple yet satisfying breakfast, just enough to kickstart the day.

The internet connection was poor , which wasn’t great as I didn’t have any data.

Convenient location and very helpful staff.

It’s very noisy but that’s what you get staying in this area, it wasn’t a problem for me at all, but be prepared to not be able to sleep because of the noise at night. The only thing I didn’t like about here was that the doors for the rooms have a gap underneath. When people smoke in the reception or outside area, the smoke travels into our rooms. I was waking up to strong smells of cigarettes in our room because of this reason.

Amazing location, food and drinks all over the place. I will be back.

Sarnic Otel was ideally located in the middle of Kadikoy. Easy to walk to all restaurants and facilities on the Asian Side.

Location is the best, in the middle of the jungle.

Great location!

There is no lift in the hotel and a stairs are step

Location is superb in the center of Kadikoy in pedestrian only small street. There is a lot of restaurants nad bars in the street and surounding area for every taste. Ferry to European side and public transport in few minutes walk away. Breakfast was good.

There was only one big blanket for the double bed

Nice little Hotel with an amazing location in a lively neighborhood.

Stayed in February 2024

every evening in the restaurant overlooking the windows of our room there was live music until 1 am. if you are looking for peace and quiet then this will be difficult

very beautiful hotel with a great location. the staff was very friendly and always helpful. It's a 7 minute walk to the ferry and there are also a lot of restaurants and shops around

Wi-Fi is very hit and miss, pretty much none existent in our room, ok down in reception or breakfast room.

Sarnlç is a really nice little place, authentic Turkish hospitality, our room was small BUT very comfortable, clean. Great location, butane warned.. if you’re a light sleeper- take some ear plugs (it’s in a lively area that’s got music playing until around midnight) didn’t bother us , but could be an issue for others. The staff were amazing, beyond helpful , indeed one of the chefs gave us his Istanbul Travel card to use for the day 😊 Kadikoy/Moda area is a good hub for sightseeing, eating, drinking, shopping… even has the old type tram system operating, pretty sure we’re going back, will be staying at Sarniç again.

Noise outside during the night, but that was expected and the hotel informed us as well. Room WC is a bit worn out.

Location, building, room decoration was nice. Personnel is friendly and helpful.

The WiFi could be better, but overall we enjoyed for a few nights stay.

The location was great, many options for eating out. We enjoyed hearing the live music each night. Historic building. Nazi, Esra, Mayra, Ibrahim all very helpful and accommodating. (Sorry if misspelled names). Would stay again! Kolay Gelsin!

All good.

The staff were very friendly. The room was very clean. The location was superb. And the breakfast was very nice.

Stayed in September 2023

We were warned that it would be noisy, (being in the bazaar), but were unprepared for the level of noise, which was tremendous on Friday and Saturday night and continued until after 04.00. The WiFi was awful in the room until we complained, after which we obtained permission to use the WiFi of a neighbouring shop which was much stronger.

A pleasant Room (although noisy) and super friendly staff.

Breakfast is a great tradition in Turkey. The hotel breakfast was not great. Given how easy it is to get a great breakfast in Moda, maybe either invest more in the hotel breakfast or give guests the option on a stay without breakfast but recommending a really great breakfast location locally

Great location, beautiful building, lovely helpful staff, good aircon

The lighting in the staircases are motion sensitive which is good and saves energy, but they turn off if you are coming the stairs slowly! so if they can stay on longer , the better.

I liked the staff and their friendliness more than anything else. This is a boutique hotel as it says so if you are looking for a big chain hotel with sauna and gym and pool and 3 different types of breakfast, look somewhere else. You book this hotel as you want to feel close to town and live enjoy the busy streets like the locals do.

Stayed in July 2023

Location is in the middle of pedestrian area, need to go a bit to catch the taxi.

Nice cozy place in the middle of restaurants and bars district with small restaurant and live music in it. A bit noisy but gives you an amazing atmosphere of the city.

The hotel is located in a busy area with lots of shops and restaurants that have live music until late at night. Fortunately, I liked the musicians and singers so I enjoyed it, especially when the customers joined in. If you like a free concert in the comfort of your own room, you won’t mind the late night music. The loud cheers from the guys watching soccer games across the street was not as enjoyable.

This was one of my stranger hotel experiences. There is no lobby, simply a desk before a stairway. When my friend and I arrived the man at the desk was surly and said we didn’t have a reservation. When I showed him my printed reservation, he then said it was only for one room. Finally, he agreed we did have 2 rooms reserved. I thought I had made a big mistake booking the hotel. We went up an old beaten down staircase and when he flung open the door to my room, I was so surprised. It was lovely and spacious with the faded elegance of another era, dramatically made up bed, high ceiling with decorative painting, good quality towels. I wondered later if his behavior had been part of a performance he puts on to surprise the guests.

Breakfast time could be earlier, cos 9 am is a bit late for breakfast

At first, very convenient location with walking distance from ferry boat and Havaist bus stop. The room is not big but very cozy, bathroom has everything you need ,including toothpaste, hairdryer, shampoo etc. There are a lot of bars and restaurants around. I didn't hear any disturbing noise from the restaurant as some people wrote, just usual sounds from the streets It was very good stay (2 nights) and Kadykey area is my favorite now.

There was no room cleaning during 4-day stay. Guests don’t have a key from the entrance door and have to use intercom, which is highly inconvenient. Average breakfast.

Nice historical building, high ceilings, just in the middle of night life.
