I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel in Istanbul. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the kindest and most welcoming reception team—especially Ervin, Azat & Mahmet—who truly went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Their warmth and genuine care set the tone for our entire trip.
Throughout our five-day stay, they were incredibly helpful with everything we needed. Whether it was recommending amazing places to eat, helping us plan our days, or assisting us whenever we had questions, they made everything feel effortless and stress-free. It’s rare to come across such attentive and thoughtful service.
The hotel itself was excellent, and the breakfast each morning was delicious with plenty of great options. Everything about our experience was smooth, comfortable, and enjoyable.
What really stood out, though, was the staff—their friendliness, professionalism, and willingness to help made this trip truly special. I can’t recommend this place enough. If you’re visiting Istanbul, this is definitely where you want to stay.

I had a really good stay at Emin Hotel. It’s not a luxury hotel, but it is clean, safe, and very comfortable, which is exactly what I was looking for.

The room was simple but well-maintained, and everything was in good working condition. I felt secure during my stay, and the overall environment was quiet and relaxing.

The staff were especially kind, friendly, and helpful, always willing to assist when needed and made the experience even better.

If you’re looking for a modest, reliable place to stay that’s clean and welcoming, I would definitely recommend Emin Hotel. I would happily stay here again.

I had a wonderful stay at Emin Palace. The hotel was impeccably clean and located in a perfect spot—everything was within walking distance, including the metro station and the bustling market. A special thanks to the receptionists, Elvin and Azat, who were exceptionally kind and helpful throughout my visit. Their warm hospitality made the experience even better. Highly recommended!

Nice new hotel with friendly staff. Only downfall is the restaurant/breakfast area is on the top floor. 7am chairs starts being dragged in an out of tables constantly for hours. If you are on the top two floors be ready to be awoken early.

The sheets had stains and the room had a sewer smell. The location was very close to most attractions however the street is packed with vendors that it literally felt like you were in the middle of a bazaar. It just was not ideal. Also hotel tried to force us to pay cash instead of by card by telling us the system is down don’t fall for it it’s not and just insist on paying with a card it works.

The location of this hotel is not very good for tourists to stay. I will not recommend this hotel. The rooms are so tiny. The streets are so dirty. They will not changed your bed sheets. The breakfast is Average. Don’t stay at this hotel INSTEAD stay in any hotel in Sultanehmet.

The hotel is new and is very clean, however it does not live up to the way it is presented ion the internet. It is a family run business and only one of them spoke some English and he tried to be cooperative. The breakfast was acceptable but it was the same every day and so was the quality. Aside from Emin the servers at breakfast were not cooperative and grumbling. The worst part was the area which turned out to be the industrial sector of the city, it was overcrowded and congested with cars, however there’s a bustling Main Street not far from the hotel.

Not good

Unfortunately there is not really much good to say about this hotel. I booked months in advance and I got the room on the first floor on the street and it was noisy. I asked to have another room but they said they were fully booked. We asked how much the transport from airport to hotel and viceversa was and they said 60 euro per travel and then we overheard saying 50 euro to other people. The bathroom smelled like sewers and you could hear a almost constant water flowing sound in the room while sleeping (it was probably the actually sewers pipes). The cleaners were shouting on the phone at 7am in the corridor as their room base was in front of ours and we had to tell them to stop (they continued with a lower tone but still audible). Breakfast was not edible and coffee was Nescafé powder so we paid for it in advance but we had breakfast out every day. I am sure I’m missing out other things but overall it was not a good stay at all.

A good choice in old Istanbul

It's a family run new hotel în the very crowded commercial and touristic area of once historical Constantinopole, close to metro station of Yenikapi, close to T1 tram, walking distance (20-30') to the ferry and the touristic attractions. And surrounded by shops. The hotel îs very clean.The rooom has good amenities ( channel tv, wifi, air condition, kettle, fridge, bottles of water every day). The breakfast îs basic, fresh, served on the top terrace when fine weather - It could be improved ( fruits, yoghurt for example), also the service could be improved - sometimes, a plate has no pie, or no salamy, or no cheese, because of the rush. They correct this instantly, after beeing noticed, with polite apologize. One morning, at 7:40h, the terrace wasn't ready for serving breakfast and three tourists were waiting the tables to be arranged and cleaned. If you open the room's door and keep it longer open, a disturbing ( for the tourists from the other rooms) alarm keeps you company, maybe you react properly and close your door promptly. When this happens în the middle of the night , îs ruining others sleep. The check-in starts at noon, the check-out is at 12:30h, this aspect îs a plus, in my opinion. It's a good hotel, if you look for a clean bed to rest, în the middle of the action. If you want to be pampered, you obviously have to pay much more and go to the Ritz.

Emin Palace Hotel is a brand new, good well designed, well planned hotel. It has unique location for shopping. It is very central, 2 minutes to metro, and tramways, Marmaray and and busses. Young family runs hotel, they are ambitious, helpful. The rooms are good sized, modern designed clever rooms. Bathrooms are dazzling. Premise has an elevator. Roof rooms are with seaview rooms. They offer breakfast at the roof or bring to your room. Nice clean and very central location. Not great for quite, relaxed holidays, great for action and shopping by it's extreme central location. Highly Recommended.

Great experience!

Wonderful staff! Very nice and helpful. We had a big issue when booking though a website and we were very stressed, but the staff, Firat was his name, calmed us down and helped us solve it in no time!

Emin Palace is located very close to a lot of interesting tourist attractions, restaurants, bazaars and stores. It was easy to find your way around.

The rooms were clean and even though we booked last minute, everything was greatly prepared for us when we arrived. Breakfast was also included!

All in all, Emin Palace Hotel is a great hotel to stay at.

Hôtel situé dans quartier animé dans le vieux Istanbul, beaucoup de restaurants autour, proche des bus,métro taxi et tram. A l arrivée nous avons changé de chambre car la porte de l armoire était cassée le jeune homme qui nous a accueilli était très agréable( c était le seul) on avait payer pour une grande chambre on a eu une petite, on s en est aperçu après
L hôtel est neuf de 3 mois mais il manque quelques ajustements. Le petit déjeuner, c est une assiette toute prête de nourriture salée avec du pain, beurre sur une terrasse parmi les mouettes et leur fientes on a renoncé à prendre leur petit déjeuner
Wifi pas super, il s arrêtais souvent et quand on aller leur demander de nous le remettre, ils faisait la tronche!!

Das Frühstück ist etwas mager. Es gibt kein Buffet. Es wird lediglich eine bestimmte Menge gebracht und das Frühstück ist auch immer das Gleiche. Die Umgebung ist nicht besonders schön, es ist schmutzig und voll von arabisch sprechenden Menschen. War mir persönlich unangenehm. Ansonsten hat alles gepasst. Die Zimmer sind sehr schön und modern eingerichtet. Ich habe mich täglich wohlgefühlt.

We had a good stay. The hotel is nicely located, walking to the station takes around 8min. I would recommend the hotel for its location and also nice staff. Thats a 10/10. The maids however were dissappointing, did not clean the rooms properly (sheets weren’t changed and used towels were just folded back). They were also very loud on the hallway while talking to eachother and not friendly/welcoming.

The male receptionists however were extremely kind and welcoming. Definitely showed that they were going out of their way to help you. Thank you.

Très belle chambre. La chambre était propre, le personnel est très serviable. Par contre, les chambres ne sont pas très bien insonorisées. L'hôtel est très bien situé, il y a plein de restaurants autour et à peine à 20 minutes de marche de la Sainte-Sophie et du Grand Bazar.
