Enderun Hotel

This old-boarding school turned hotel is a charming setting in the heart of Istanbul. The rooms were a lovely throw-back to a more elegant time, and the glassed-in breakfast gazebo in a garden area was a welcome breath of air in a very busy, modern city. The staff was excellent--very friendly and very helpful. The surrounding neighborhood, while not the best section in Istanbul, is safe enough, and the proximity to the Grand Bazaar and public transportation was very convenient. I would definitely stay there again.

Shuttle took ages to arrive, general sexism (my name wasn’t on the booking but I was ignored) and my male friend spoken to instead from the off, bed wasn’t uncomfortable and duvet too small, only one bottle of free water (tight!) a day between us, only accepted payment in euros (we’re English so don’t easily have it to hand), didn’t give us the price for sauna and implied it wasn’t free then charged us at the end, and you need to wait two hours for the sauna, it isn’t just ready 😂 Thin walls, don’t expect much sleep, blackout blinds are useless. Could be loads better with a little improvement.

Well located in the Old Town - near restaurants of all prices. 5 minute walk to tram and within walking distance of most major sites. All the staff were very helpful and courteous. Breakfast was very good with the semit bread the best anywhere! Thank you to everyone at the hotel for making our stay so enjoyable. We'll be back!!

Very good. Rooms are great. Breakfast was amazing.

As is often the case in Istanbul, the room was rather small but the hotel is very well kept. The breakfast room is in a conservatory in the garden and provides a wide range of food. The staff were very pleasant.

It was 5 wonderful days. The hotel is in a great location, very close to the main tourist attractions. In a 15 minute walk we were in the main square where the Mosques and the Grand Bazaar stand. The room and beds supercomfortable and clean, breakfast delicious and complete, people very pleasant and always available. My sister and I love everything. We will be back to Istanbul and we will definitely be staying at Enderun Hotel. Thank you to the manager and everyone who helped make our holidays perfect. Marilene Dias and Mila Poli. May 2019

Location of this hotel is great, 15 minute walk to main area of Sultanahment and the Blue Mosque. Plenty of shops and restaurants on the doorstep and a lovely walk along a bustling main road full of shops and restaurants to Sultanahmet. Grand Bazaar and a tram/metro stop is a 5 minute walk. Hotel is great for the price, very friendly and helpful staff, nice clean rooms with a good shower, quiet at night but it does get quite noisy with local shop deliveries at around 7am, but it is in a busy location so expected. Breakfast was ok, good selection of international food. Overall, great value for money.

It was a great hotel where I will stay again if visit to Istanbul again. However, this great location will become a bit dangerous when the night is over 9.30pm. In one night, a mom asked her child chase us to beg for food/money (I'm not sure what's she talking about but based on her action). So will be better if go back to hotel before 9pm.

Hotel was cosy and clean and very conveniently located next to everything however the best thing about this place is the staff. They were genuinely friendly and helpful so it made our trip that much more enjoyable.
