Katelya Hotel - Istanbul

The hotel offers a rooftop terrace with fine views of the Bosphorus, perfect for enjoying breakfast.

The Wi-Fi connection was quite unreliable, leaving us needing to find a spot near the router for decent connectivity.

cool, outstanding room with a great bathroom as well as bathtub.

Friendly and cute place, AMAZING staff especially the manager. Great hotel unit with bathtub. Cosy and cool location 5am to the airport and nice area. 5 minutes walk to a Holy mosque.

Staying here was perfect for our family trip to explore historical sites like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, both just a short walk away. The rooftop terrace was a highlight, offering amazing views that made our time there feel extra special. The manager made us feel at home with thoughtful recommendations that enhanced our visit. We truly appreciated the clean and charming rooms, and the breakfast spread was impressive, balancing Turkish delights with familiar options.

The breakfast was plentiful and great for what was on offer with bowls of assorted olives and fresh yogurt, as example. When we arrived, our Wheelchair Accessible room with a coffee and light music, as example was ready.

i enjoyed the room, it was well-appointed and silent and complete with a coffee or a beer as well as a very comfortable bed.

The location is unbeatable, just a 5-minute walk to the Blue Mosque and other historic sights. My room was spacious, clean, and had all the amenities like a minibar and air conditioning. The rooftop terrace offers fine views of the Sea of Marmara. The breakfast was delicious, with a mix of Turkish and Continental options. Staff were great.

Airport pickup was slightly delayed.

Had a sweet as stay close to all the good spots, but breakfast could've done with more variety and our room was a bit cramped. Staff were awesome, though!

Very clean and cozy. Great location near landmarks.

Is it a hit or a miss? Here's my take

Magnificent location for exploring iconic landmarks, just a pleasant stroll from major attractions! Friendly staff provided excellent assistance!

Unfortunately, noise from thin walls disrupted my relaxation. Breakfast options were limited, lacking variety in hot dishes.

Noise can be a real issue as the walls are thin. You'll hear street sounds that can disrupt your sleep. The breakfast lacks a decent variety of hot food options, and some bathrooms could use better cleanliness and maintenance-shower water pressure is also a bit hit or miss. A few electrical sockets felt outdated, and guests might wish for more storage space in the rooms for longer stays, which can be a tad cramped with larger luggage.

Strongly recommend for a couple of nights

Cozy room, attentive staff, the room was super tidy and had an electric kettle for tea and coffee after a day of exploring.

Couldn't have been happier.

A great location just ten minutes from major landmarks, along with a peaceful street that minimizes noise disruption. The rooftop offered fine views, especially during breakfast with an excellent selection of both traditional local products and satisfying hot dishes like a good egg dish. Some noise from nearby streets was noticeable at times, and while the breakfast was good, a lack of variety in hot options on certain days could be improved.

Very nice staff and delicious breakfast

They were always at the ready, helping with everything from check-in to giving local tips. The breakfast was a highlight as well. It's slightly noisy at times due to the bustling area, but it didn't take away from the overall charm!

Great Wi-Fi and clean rooms. Minor maintenance issues like bathroom door.
