It is the second time we are staying here, very friendly atmosphere, assistant before arrival via Whatsapp, reach breakfast. Location in most popular area in the city, but quite, not much traffic. We got our room early than check in time and have posibility to leave our luggage till our transfer. Thanks to Faruk, he was very professional and helpful. See you next visit in Istanbul.

الفندق فقط للتوفير المال وزيارة المناطق السياحية وايضا قريب جداً لمحطة الترام الفندق لايحتوي على مصعد متعب جداً الصعود التكييف سيء اخبرتهم باصلاحه لخروج هواء غير بارد لكن مصرين بانه صالح لكن بالنسبة لسعره فهو ممتاز

Excellent experience
Very pleasant stay at Minel Hotel. The owner family is brilliant with guests from greeting to room service and everything else. The room was neat and tidy and absolutely worth every penny I paid. The location is in heart of old Istanbul with all the historic sites a walking distance away. The local shops and restaurants serve very nice food and provide everyday essentials which is quite convenient. I will definitely use it again.

An Enjoyable Accommodation
The Minel is a cozy aged accommodation situated on a side alley quite close to all the cultural sites that make this area such a tourist destination ... while lacking in some amenities, the hotel is very comfortable and the owner is very accommodating in making your stay a pleasant one. My experience is based on my stay in the top floor apartment, which was amazingly roomy with a king bed, couch sitting area, kitchen and shower bath ... the most attractive feature is a large outdoor terrace with great views of the city and surrounded by dense forest growth ... you can see Hagia Sofia Mosque, which is only a short walk from the hotel ... all in all I enjoyed my stay and if your on a budget I would highly recommend the top floor apartment, which can accommodate 3 persons

Easy to visit city center
Pros: Close to city center, close to tram station, good breakfast, Notes: There is no elevator in the hotel, bed sheet had small stain, hotel is located in a small alley, you cannot get closed to the hotel by car or taxi.
