Basic hotel, but very comfortable, clean, great breakfast buffet with views to the mosque , staff friendly and welcoming.
Just three minutes walking to Hagia Sophia and others tourist attraction in Istanbul.
Safe area, next to Four Seasons hotel and in front of Seven Hills hotel .
This property was comfortable but offered bare minimum. No added touches. Thin towels. Scratchy bed cover. No water in room. Breakfast again bare minimum. Lovely fresh bread was annnacception. Inside was a bit noisy when other guests came home. But generally quiet. Staff though were excellent.
An amazing experience at Side hotel with friendly and helpful staff, specially Emre, Younis and Mansoor were amazing. The chef was extra hospitable and was making every effort to give us the best.
The only thing was our fridge wasn’t working and upon request they said the fridges aren’t of good quality to keep things cool.
The rest of experience was amazing.
Side Hotel was an overall excellent choice, from the location to the support from the friendly staff. Was a great choice for a first time stay in Instanbul.
Staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful! The breakfast on the terrace was great, as well. It is very basic - but clean and the shower pressure was excellent! The rooftop terrace has incredible views and we loved hanging out up there! The location is amazing though - walk everywhere! Highly recommend - excellent for the price.
The hotel location is awesome, just walk out and you’re basically in the center of some of the attractions. The staff are really friendly, helpful and kind, breakfast is the same every day which I didn’t mind and it’s average. I had the budget single room, very basic. Bathroom was small but sparking clean and same as the room.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Excellent Staff, always there to help. Would like to see more soundproofing, specifically in the bathrooms as we could hear from next Room’s Bathroom. Great location. Would recommend definitely and will stay there again.
Very convenient location, the hotel is in between the Blue Mosque and Aya Sofya Mosque (so you hear the call to prayer lound and clear 5 times a day). The hotel is very nicely decorated with beautiful Turkish rugs and tilework. The rooftop is amazing and the free breakfast each morning was great. Very kind and helpful staff.
This hotel has a lovely authentic 'guest house' feel. The staff were excellent, very friendly and helpful. The location is superb, just around the corner from the beautiful Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia.
