The staff are very nice, respectful and helpful. They made everything very easy. The hotel rooms are very clean and nice. The hotel's location is amazing, just 3 minutes walk to Aya Sophia and the Basilica, and about 10 minutes to Topkapi. The hotel is also two minutes walk from the tram station that gets you anywhere. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay there next time.

We had a wonderful experience staying at the Shining Star. Clean room, cleaned plus towels and supplies replenished daily, excellent breakfast buffet. Courteous staff. Also great location, a few minutes walking from most major touristic objectives in Sultanahmet, and a few minutes walking from the airport bus drop off/ pickup. Overall, great budget hotel.

Great location near Haiga Sofia, Basilica Cistern and Blue Mosque. Room are clean and good breakfast.
The road was being torn up out front so the lobbybwas a bit messy. Not the fault of hotel staff.

Stayed four nights here. Great location, minutes to the major points of interest, steps away to restaurants and shopping, yet on a quiet side street. Faculty looks new, feels new. Breakfast provides plenty of choices, rich in protein and other foods. Staff are friendly and helpful. Will definitely return to this hotel if visiting Istanbul again

Great place to stay!

Great stay at Shining Star Hotel. Very well located, with a short walk to restaurants and the most popular sights. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good. The glass floors with a view of the underground ruins are really a treat and the bar area is beautifully finished and very atmospheric - although the wine and beer choice could be better.

Shining Star Hotel offers a fantastic experience with its prime location and excellent service. Situated in the heart of Sultanahmet, it’s just a short walk from iconic attractions like the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and Topkapi Palace. The rooms are cozy, clean, and well-equipped, providing a comfortable retreat after a day of exploring the city. The staff is welcoming and attentive, always ready to assist with any needs or offer recommendations for nearby restaurants and activities. The hotel’s breakfast, served with a variety of options, is a great way to start your day. With its perfect location, friendly atmosphere, and great value for money, Shining Star Hotel is an ideal choice for anyone visiting Istanbul. Highly recommended!

Sold a lie, photo and description of the hotel did not match the actual hotel.

Key points to be noted
1. No Ac,
2. No laundry service
3. No iron provided.
4. Staines on sheet, probably not changed
5. Very dusty, if have dust allergy or asthma Avoid,
6. Rude staff x2
7. Qulc to ask for a tip.

Spoit my holiday. I had to change my hotel.

Issues:
Due change hotel
Had to pay double for my airport transfers as it was pre booked and holidays extra didnt allow change

Cost me £50 and lost out my £73 and pre paid.
Paid uber taxi got over charged to move hotel 200 lira.
Had to walk 2dk which is about 1 mile
(I think)

This all happened due to a lie expedia and the shining hotel sold. Horrific experience.

To top it up had my lil one 3 suitcase and 2 hand luggage.

Horrible,Horrific, Avoid

We just came off a cruise ship and we’re looking for a quiet hotel near tourist attractions. This is the place. They have double pane windows and the place was extremely quiet. It’s a small hotel, but it’s completely been redone with beautiful modern finishes. The hotel faces a side street and is away from the big street noise. We only intended to stay one night, then look for a different hotel, part of our preplanning. After our first night, we quickly realized that we wanted to stay here for the next two days until we flew back home. The staff was very accommodating. Although the hotel was booked, they somehow managed to get us into another room, which was super quiet as well. Every room in this place appears to be modern, quiet and peaceful. We stayed here for a total of three nights. They had a very nice Turkish breakfast daily. Lastly, I can’t say how friendly and accommodating the hotel staff were. They were able to give us directions, recommendations, and really made us fill part of their hotel family during our stay. They arranged for a taxi to the airport for us also.

Shining Star Hotel is perfectly located for visiting the Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque, and Basilica Cistern and so much fun shopping and many restaurants.
One thing I would do is bring a large safety pin to close the curtain so the light doesn't shine on the sleepers face. The other is to request the perfume making machine in the lobby be turned off.
One very cool thing is the actual ruins in hotel itself! They ought to be making more of that, but must just take it for granted. It is VERY cool. We would stay here again, for sure.
For the price (which includes a lovely breakfast) you cannot get better!
