It felt absolutely truthful.
Excellent value! Food was fresh and tasty. Rooftop terrace a beautiful bonus. I got soft pillows when I commented that they are a bit hard.
The bathroom was superclean (new) and not smelling, as I experience in other hotels here.
Location for my taste was perfect!
No street noise, rooftopventilation or other hotelstuff talking on the street.
I absolutely enjoyed my stay at this lovely authentic hotel.

The included buffet breakfast in the rooftop terrace was amazing! We especially loved the beet and yogurt salad (just try it!) and the carrot, cabbage and dill salad. Not normally something we'd eat for breakfast but the food and experience was spectacular!! The rooms had a beautiful Turkish feel and look. We enjoyed our cozy room and bed and the service throughout was fantastic 😀

We had a good stay at Saruhan, the breakfast and view from terrace were both amazing. The only drawback is that we were given a below ground floor room, and it was filled with ants once we were settled in and ate some snack/wine.. the ants would gather around our cups and wine bottle and clothes and that was very annoying. It would be nice if were given a room on the upper floors instead as there is a large swing in the bottom floor, just for us in our balcony/garden area but we never used it since there is no privacy there.

Saruhan is a very beautiful and quirky little hotel, with lovely traditional Turkish decor.
The room however was very stuffy when I first entered and I had to open a window. There was no remote for the air conditioning unit and also none of the tv channels worked so that was redundant. The bed was quite creaky, slightly hard and for some reason the beautiful runner blanket disappeared after the room was serviced the first day. Plus the walls are definitely not soundproof as I heard a woman sneezing and coughing all night one of the nights! So comfort wise not amazing, but it didn't ruin the experience - it's clean and good value for money. The location is lovely as it is quiet but can be a bit daunting finding it at night if you are arriving late.
The staff are extremely welcoming and extra kudos must go to the lady singly serving all the delicious traditional breakfast on the balcony, of which the variety was superb. The view from the breakfast terrace is wonderful as well.

Great stay

Checked in at 2:30am without any problems, and was shown to my room (had booked a room for the previous day so I would be able to check on straight away).

Very nice room with lots of space, fridge, A/C, great wifi and lots of hot water in the shower. Great view of the park across the street which was a bonus, and a small balcony as well.

Breakfast each morning on the terrace was great, and was the reason I chose to book at this hotel over others (for the view!). The ladies working there (who also do housekeeping) are so friendly and welcoming, with breakfast bought to the table each morning. Although it was the same breakfast each day (omelette, bread with spreads, ham, cheese, tomato, cucumber, olives), it was delicious! Variety of tea, juices and Nescafé also available.

Walking distance to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Grand Bazaar, Egyptian Spice Bazaar, and a nice walk to Galata Tower and Istiklal Street as well.

My family and I enjoyed spending a moment viewing the items in the lobby area. All the ceilings are decorated in a nice wood design which adds to the uniqueness of this place.
The room was nice and clean. The beds were comfortable. They offered a good selection of traditional Turkish breakfast foods on the buffet. Mr. Ahmet at reception was very nice and helpful with our needs, the other man at reception was also (can't remember his name). All the staff were nice.

The Staff of Saruhan is very good, very polite & Hospitable. The good thing about this Hotel is Balcony one may call it smoker's paradise. There is a coffee Machin in the lobby dispensing free coffee entire day. It's at a walking distance from Sultanahmet area. The room has very minimum furniture. Just wondering why don't they add some chairs etc. Breakfast was good but needs improvement, especially if guests are staying for a longer period then eating same breakfast each day is quite boring. Thier pick up service from the airport is little pricey, but all the hotels charge the same, though I must say the PickUp & drop facility is very efficient & reliable. Saruhan is a good place to stay if one considers the price they offer.

A wonderful surprise

Hotel is located in a superb district. Close to numerous local restaurants, multiple full sized supermarkets, children's playground and easy walking distance to Grand Bazaar, Blue Mosque, Aya Sofya & Topkapi Palace. The hotel is exceptionally clean and linen is great. We had the family room and its size was excellent. The matrasses are old and saggy, and the double bed creaks terribly so we had sore backs after a few days. The bunks are home made. Kids need to be older to handle these as the railing is too high so smaller children would not be prevented from falling through it. We travelled with 4, 3 & 8 weeks old. The breakfast is the best we have had in Turkey and the roof terrace was brilliant. The bathroom was small but very functional and lots of hot water. AC worked well. The bar fridge did not work. Afternoon reception staff was not helpful or knowledgeable at all which was disappointing. Would stay again due to cleanliness, breakfast and location.

Originally I booked this hotel for 10 nights but soon I realized it does not worth it so I spend 4 nights and decided to check out. This is what I experienced 1) The room smells bad, 2) The bulbs from the ceiling lights were fused or not working, 3) The internet connection was very slow and 4) which is very important the front office stuff were very rude and unprofessional. Based on my personal experience I would never recommend this hotel to anyone specially with the family.

Overall good stay

We stayed in a family room and it was a good size and true to pictures. Only problem was a squeaky bed. We told them the next morning and they semi-fixed it right away. Less squeaky but still some noise. The room was clean. Located near hippodrome and blue mosque and kumkapi area(many fish restaurants are there). It was on the small alley, so it might be hard to find. We didn't have a problem because we requested the pick up service. The neighborhood didn't feel dangerous. Bathroom was big for turkish standard. Coffee machine available in the lobby for free. Breakfast buffet had a great selection. You could order fresh fruit juice for a small fee. Hot shower available all the time. Heating is from a radiator near windows. It didn't make the room very warm but tolerable. Great housekeeping service.

great hotel

It's a wonderful hotel, well taken care of. It's in Sultanamet, the best neighborhood to be in, in Istanbul, Turkey. BUT the hotel is a 15 minute walk from the center (and tram) where it's all happening. For us, that's where we like to be, near, but not in the center. The only drawback is a football/soccer field across the street where they play all day and into the night. Rooming in the back rooms would cut off a lot of that noise. Great breakfast spread every day.

Friendly, happy to help & clean

Stayed in Istanbul for 4 nights at Saruhan Hotel. Located about a 15 minute walk from the sights of Sultanahmet and close to plenty of small shops. Staff were happy to assist with all arrangements, transfers, suggestions etc. very helpful via email prior to arrival and accommodated changing room requirements. Great breakfast on beautiful terrace and we also had a room with a small balcony.

Saruhan Hotel, Istanbul

This is a lovely little hotel in Istanbul, on a side street between residential areas, but fifteen minutes walk away from main tourist areas and the tram station.

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. They helped organise transport to and from the airport. I left something behind in the hotel and they were very good about getting it posted to me.

It's not the sort of place for people who want to spend a lot of time in a hotel, as facilities are pretty basic. But if you want somewhere clean, comfortable and friendly, this is an excellent choice.

Très jolie petit hôtel propre bien décoré personnel très gentil et serviable, Nous avions une chambre familiale avec une terrasse sympathique. À la réception Kenan nous a donné de très bons conseils tout au long de notre séjour, son anglais est parfait ! Le petit déjeuner est varié et riche. ça semble être une entreprise familiale et la mamie qui s’occupe du petit déjeuner est adorable . magnifique vue de la terrasse où on prend le petit déjeuner et qui est accessible jusqu’à 23h. Vraiment très belle découverte à 14min à pied de la mosquée Bleue, Aya Sofya et Bayazid ainsi qu’à 12min de l’arrêt du tram (Attention montée raide pour y accéder car l’hôtel se trouve en bas de la colline)
