It was a great experience from the beginning. Friendly staff that always smiled and ask if they could help. Set up transportation to the airport. Located within walking distances of multiple historical sites and restaurants all around the hotel. Would highly recommend staying here if you in Istanbul.

Everything I hoped it would be and then some !
Location Location Location . Spectra Hotel is literally a few meters from Sultan Ahmet Square and just a 5 minute walk to Hagia Sofia and the Blue Mosque! You can walk to the Grand Bazaar in 10 minutes , there are plenty of shops, Restaurants and Cafes to see along the way. Hasan. Ercel and Metin took care of all of our needs whether it was to arrange tours, give practical advice while sightseeing and just went above and beyond to help out anyway they could. It is a beautiful boutique style hotel that was surprisingly quiet given that they are so close to the main square and at the end of a bustling street . The Restaurant was awesome as well with a great staff and variety of things to choose from at very reasonable prices. No complaints with the cleanliness of the rooms and housekeeping was available everyday.it certainly has a great atmosphere and just a lot of value for the money. Everybody goes out of their way and there is nothing that compares to Turkish hospitality, We hated to leave Lol

Where can I start! I have visited Istanbul 4 times, this is by far the best hotel experience that I've had. The location is perfect a stones drop away from The Blue Mosque and importantly no steep hill to walk. The staff were extremely accommodating and empathetic. Made you feel like you've been there many times before. Room cleaning was daily without fail, new towels, bottles water. The breakfast was good with hot and cold food options. Will of course be staying that for my next Istanbul trip.

The hotel is in an amazing location just 20 seconds from the Blue Mosque. The location made it easy to get to all the attractions easily. The hotel is small and slightly tired but the rooms were very nice, clean and had air conditioning. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, they arranged transfers, checked train times, gave directions, organised trips etc, all with a smile. Overall the hotel and service was awesome.
