The Kybele Hotel - Special Class

Wonderful place to stay. In middle of everything on a quiet, traffic free street. Steep climb to upper floors. Not for very old legs. Great staff. Nice breakfast.

Unique hotel decorated with thousands of Turkish lamps. Super willing and friendly service, breakfast was plain but fresh and good. Excellently locates hotel to explore old Istanbul most famous sights.

An excellent stay at an exceptionally stylish and unusually designed lovely little family run boutique hotel. All services were adequate, the staff were excellently helpful, and the design of the place was gorgeously intriguing. Would definitely return if I were to stay in the area again.

My kids loved all of the overhead lamps (although only a few were hooked up to light). Breakfast was fine...enough of a selation for us, but limited. Good value for the price. Good location... walking distance to sites. Safe neighborhood.

Magical. A living museum.

Great location for tourists.

Excellently located, although it is in pedestrianised area so you may have to drag your cases. On leaving they will help. Wonderfully atmospheric with all its lights. Good value. Breakfast is OK for room cost. Had 1 dinner in restaurant, OK and good value. In 500 series rooms some tricky stairs, so not recommended for the less agile.

Arrived Sunday 11am in October and were able to check in to a warm and helpful welcome as our room was ready. We had a beer and tasty light lunch at hotel before walking down the pedestrianised road on which the hotel is situated to the Hagia Sofia (2-3min) and then the Topkapı palace. The hotel really is that convenient. The hotel was just as described with plenty of character. Breakfast was self service and plentiful. Our bathroom fittings were a little tired but all functional and clean. We slept well and I enjoyed the character of the old Turkey feel of the place. Yellow metered taxi from airport cost us just under 70lira. With the street pedestrianised the taxi dropped us off 50m from hotel at top of the street. I would recommend the hotel.

A very friendly hotel the staff were great they went the extra mile. The room was so clean the towels were changed every day. I would return to this hotel anytime.

A lovely old style hotel smack in the centre of Sultanameht. Good food and a good street side evening bar with plenty of Raki. A quiet area.
