The Bosphorus view suite is really good. The views were fantastic, the room spacious and the bed was very comfortable. Helpful staff - we asked if they would clean the windows to improve the visibility and it was done the next morning. Excellent bathroom & shower.
Breakfast was ok without being anything special. The location is fantastic - 3 minutes from Sirkeci tram and metro, 7-8 minutes to the ferries. Loads of restaurants all within a street or two, and a lovely bustling vibe.

Excellent location! I spent 4 nights in a twin room on the first floor at Elanez Hotel in September 2025 The staff are very friendly & make you feel welcome.

The location is excellent, just round the corner from the hustle & bustle of Istanbul but I couldn’t hear any of it from the room which was fab! Most things are in walking distance which is amazing, just 15 mins to Sultanahmet Square with Topkapi Palace & Hagai Sofia etc. If you want to venture further out the T1 tram is a few minutes walk away.

The room is large with a twin bed, sofa, fridge, tv, good air con & a bathroom. The bathroom is a good size but a bit run down & there were ants. The shower pressure is good but sometimes there is no water for half an hour, I think this is an Istanbul issue though not the hotel.

WiFi is good & strong. There aren’t many plug sockets which isn’t ideal.

Breakfast was nice with 3 hot options each day boiled eggs, omelette & then chips or pepperoni it changed each day. There is also salad, cheese, meats, fruit, bread, jams & spreads. Fruit juices & hot drinks.

Lots of supermarkets & restaurants nearby it is the perfect location. Worth staying for the central Istanbul location as long as you don’t mind a few things not perfect.

Great Hotel, very friendly staff, very close walking distance to all tourists attractions, also you can walk over Galata bridge to the New District and not take a tram (it can be very crowded).

I had a great stay for 6 nights.Rooms get cleaned daily.
Only wish breakfast would have more variety or at least different options during my stay.

Thank you Hotel Elanaz and your wonderful staff!

We loved our stay at Elanaz. The staff is all extraordinarily friendly and helpful. It's super well located for tons of restaurants and close to Topkapi and the blue mosque. They offered either Turkish coffee or American, and the tea is always at the Reddy. Breakfast had the usual Turkish assortment of sausage and eggs, many cheeses and olives. We loved it here!

Our stay at the Elanaz Hotel was wonderful.1
Their team and staff at the hotel really MADE our stay in Istanbul amazing! From the welcoming and helpful check-in by Irina, to the FANTASTIC Above-And-Beyond way that Hussein helped me to surprise my daughter upon check-in, to the gentleman who worked the night shift after Hussein (I'm sorry, but I forget his name) who helped us get a taxi when when our other options fell through... The Elanaz Staff/ Team are really incredible! We felt welcomed, were treated in such a friendly way and were helped with the little things that we didn't quite know how to do around Istanbul. And, yes, the accommodations were nice too. The breakfast was good and the rooms were nice. There are many restaurants and stores close by (plus probably way too much baklava, which we took advantage of). You're close to the Tram and can walk (15ish minutes) to the Basilica Cisterns and the Blue Mosque. Staying at The Elanaz will enhance your visit to your beautiful Istanbul.

An Unforgettable Experience – The Highlight of Our Trip to Turkey

From the moment we stepped into the hotel, we knew we had made the right choice. What began as a simple booking turned into one of the most heartwarming and memorable experiences of our entire trip to Turkey.

The service, especially from the two incredible receptionists, was truly exceptional. They were not just professional, but deeply personable—taking the time to understand our needs, offering recommendations, and helping us navigate a foreign country with such kindness and care. They went above and beyond at every opportunity, whether it was assisting with transportation, guiding us on local attractions, or simply checking in to ensure we were comfortable. It felt more like being hosted by close friends than staying in a hotel.

The hotel itself was immaculately clean and beautifully maintained. Every corner, from the lobby to the rooms, reflected attention to detail and pride in their space. Our room was spotless, cozy, and well-equipped, providing a restful escape after long days of exploring.

The breakfast was another highlight—delicious, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared each morning. The entire staff was consistently polite, warm, and incredibly helpful. You could feel how passionate they were about making every guest feel special and taken care of.

Looking back, staying at this hotel was hands down the best part of our journey through Turkey. The hospitality we received left a lasting impression on

We had a pleasant stay at Elanaz Hotel, which is situated in a fantastic area — definitely the highlight of the stay. The location is incredibly convenient, with some of the best restaurants and Hafiz Mustafa just steps away. It made exploring the city super easy and enjoyable.

The room was comfortable and spacious enough, with a small but lovely view of the Bosphorus, which added a nice touch. The price was quite reasonable, especially considering the prime location.

The staff were very kind and welcoming, always ready to help and offer recommendations, which we really appreciated.

There were a couple of small issues during our stay: the hot water took around two minutes to come on in the shower, and we noticed a small puddle forming in the bathroom — we weren’t sure where it came from, but it was minor.

Overall, it’s a great option if you’re looking for a well-located, affordable stay in Istanbul with friendly service and easy access to major attractions.

The staff was excellent! Special mention to Hussein who went out of his way to be helpful! The location was excellent to walk to all of the tourist sites and the tramway was also close by. The room (partial sea view room) was quiet and just the right size. We have never stayed in a budget hotel and were hesitant but if you want to be in the right place to walk to everything then this hotel is the one to stay at. The floor in our room was filthy when we checked in but we asked for it to be washed and it was the next day. Breakfast was the only disappointment, not enough seating for guests and the seating that was there was too cramped. There are 13 rooms so a max of 26 guests and there were only enough seats for 10. There was also a table for 4 at the end but every morning the house cleaner or cook would sit there & put belongings so no tourist could use that table, this should stop! The food selection was also disappointing, one small coffee pot that took a long time to fill so if more than 5 people needed a coffee you would wait almost half an hour to get a cup, hard boiled eggs our first day were hot and then the next 2 days were cold left overs from the first day, one small 2 slice toaster. Every tourist wants to get out of there as soon as possible in the morning to avoid line ups at sites so breakfast held us back each day. The ‘selection’ of food available was also very poor and it was not replenished so again if you arrived after it was gone you were out of luck!

2) They helped us book cab rides to different airports and even got up at 4:45 am to make sure we got into the car.

Nothing fancy, but everything you'd need

It's a small hotel, with a modest lobby. Service was excellent. Location is great. There's a station across the street for the train that goes across the Bosporus to Asian side. There's also a tram stop nearby that carries passengers to the main touristy areas. I enjoyed being awakened in the morning to the sound of the morning call to prayer. Breakfast offerings were adequate, but not as much variety as other similarly sized hotels in Istanbul. Breakfast seating was tight. Solid three and half star hotel and worthwhile if priced under $100 per night.

Great hotel in a great location

We stayed here on a recommendation from a friend who has quite high standards and we were very pleased. We stayed for 5 nights and the staff were absolutely amazing and helpful. Upon getting there and checking in, they went through the area on a map, pointing out all the local attractions and estimated times to get around, this was much appreciated.

The breakfast selection was good and we made sure we ate a lot before heading out for the day. The room was spacious, warm and the bed was comfortable. The room also had a safe in it where we could keep our valuables.

The location of the hotel is amazing, it's so close to everything. A 10-15 minute walk to Topkapi Palace, the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, the Galata Bridge, New Mosque, Egyptian Bazaar and a little further to the Grand Bazaar, Suleymaniye Mosque, Galata Tower and Taksim Square.

When checking out they called and organised a hotel shuttle for us, which was a lot easier, cheaper and quicker than the taxi we were thinking of getting, and then held onto our bags for us for the day while we went and explored some more.

Definitely one of the better hotels I've stayed in, especially for the price. Would recommend to anyone who is travelling to Istanbul for the first time.

Elanaz, best boutique

We were pleased to find this small hotel recently redone and upgraded to the standard of many larger hotels in terms of their bathroom, and although the bedroom was not large, it was furnished thoughtfully with everything that was needed, including plenty of pillows, lovely linens, lighting, and electric sockets for our re-charging needs. Free wi-fi, too. The breakfast room downstairs is quite small and, when full, can be a bit tight, but otherwise I have not anything but praise for this hotel. And the location is perfect for seeing the sights in the main touristic area of the city.

A precious gem that's not in the Topkapi Museum

The folks at Elanaz could not have been more helpful and friendly. As soon as you walk in the door you're greeted like a returning friend. Someone always rushed to hold the elevator door and nothing was too much trouble. The location was perfect, in the middle of everything and the facilities were great. The room was \"cosy\" but everything was clean, modern and more than met our expectations. It was great to wake each morning to a view up the Golden Horn and I would have no hesitation in giving the property a big \"Thumbs Up\". We were nervous about the media reports of the \"trouble\" in Istanbul but we never felt unsafe anywhere (including in Tahrir Square) and everyone we met was friendly and welcoming. A great place to stay in Istanbul.

Location: best in the city, 2 minutes walk from tram stop (Sirkeci) linked to all major sites and the airport, 5 minutes walk to cafe's/doner kebab stalls/currency exchange/grocery stores, 10 minutes pleasant walk to Hagia Sofia, 30 minutes by taxi from Attaturk airport (if no traffic) - General Manager and his staff: he loves making his hotel the best it could be, and everything he does shows it. - Room decoration & quality of bedding and furniture: tasteful in a quiet, relaxing way - Breakfast: tasty local cheeses/jam/spread, hot and cold sausages & eggs, daily selection of pastries. It will last you fully till 1-2pm - View from room: ours was on 5th floor, so lovely view of both the street and a little window on the Bosphorus. - Hot shower with strong water pressure: heaven at the end of each long and dusty day of walking. - Local olive & argan soap provided in bathroom: as good as expensive L'Occitane soap. -

Locatie is ideal van het hotel. Maar veel geluid overlast vind ik persoonlijk. Klein fijn plek kamers word iedere dag schoongemaakt en onze prullenbakken ook geleegd.Handdoeken worden ook iedere dag vernieuwd ook.

호텔 위치가 좋아서 대중교통도 이용하기 좋았습니다. 엘리베이터는 좁았지만 쓸만했고, 직원은 매우 친절한 사람도 있었고 무뚝뚝한 사람도 있었습니다. 한마디로 가성비 좋았습니다

空港バス、トラム、近郊鉄道に近くてとても便利。滞在もよかった。ハウスキーピングで物を全て整理整頓されるのは余計なお世話。そのままにしておいて欲しかった。ものがなくなったかと困惑した。翌日は掃除自体をお断りした。それ以外は快適に過ごせました。

Oda temizdi, personal güleryüzlüydü, kahvaltı çeşidi azdı, kahvaltının bodrum katta olması güzel değildi. Hotelin bulunduğu yer, her yere yürüme mesafesiyle gidiliyor.
