Very convenient location: close to cafes, shops and all the sights in 5-30 minutes walking distance: Egyptian Bazaar, Grand Bazaar, Church of One Day, Blue Mosque, etc. There is a bus depot nearby (10 minutes). I wasn't looking for a subway. I can't tell you.
Nuance: taxis do not reach the hotel itself. They are dropped off on the next street. A feature of the road traffic.
The hotel itself is very beautiful inside, from the outside if you don't know what it is, you will pass by😅
It is convenient to pay, including on the spot in cash. We booked at the airport upon arrival in Istanbul. There is an exchange office nearby (although with a large commission). It will be more profitable to change in any bank, there are also a lot of them here. Just walk a little bit.
The staff is very friendly. The button on the elevator is pressed. We made an agreement with the cleaner . One day they asked not to clean up, but they changed the towels and water. They generally understand Russian. English is excellent.
The rooms are not tired. It is clear that repairs were made not yesterday, but not a hundred years ago either. Towels are normal. The water goes well. They offer a "bath set". Cleaning every day. Additionally, if they are still in the room at lunch, they will knock with a proposal to update tea, coffee and sugar. In principle, the rooms and the hotel correspond to the photos on the booking and the website.
There is a restaurant on the 7th floor. With a high rating. And really a very good restaurant with a view and delicious cuisine. The hall is full even in February. The price tag is above the average in Istanbul.
Buffet breakfasts are also served here. Delicious. A good enough choice. Practically unchanged from day to day. There were few fruits. I was surprised, because the shops are full of them.
Seagulls are flying outside the window. You can safely open the window or ask the staff to feed them. Or just watch it.
Nuance: 30 minutes before the end of breakfast time, they are not kicked out, but they begin to clean up the hall. Since it opens as a restaurant at one o'clock in the afternoon.
It's not very pleasant. It's comfortable to go to breakfast at 9:30 a.m. - it's not early and you can sit quietly.
I recommend. Especially if you haven't been to Istanbul or the Fatih area.

Good afternoon. For the first time in 20 years of traveling, I write a negative review about the hotel. I hoped for positive reviews of the Sirkeci Istambul Best Hotel from Seher on the website Booking.com . I booked the hotel through Booking for 4 nights from March 8 to March 12, 2021. The hotel has withdrawn a deposit of 43 euros per day. We arrived at the hotel and really liked the place as it is located within walking distance from the main attractions of Istanbul and a 5-minute walk to the Bosphorus. We were greeted at the reception by the seemingly friendly staff. I made two big mistakes, the first one I paid for 4 nights at once and the second one I didn't go and check the hotel room right away. I usually do this in all countries. In Turkey, 3* is much lower in level than in Europe, so you need to choose this type of hotel very carefully. I recommend you to choose a 4* star hotel in Turkey and still check the rooms upon arrival. When I went up to the room, I saw that it did not match the size of the declared parameters indicated on Booking. Further, the room lacked the necessary bed linen for 3 people. There was no chair in the room, there was no mirror in the bathroom, the hair dryer did not work and the shower head holder was broken. But it was possible to survive. When I returned to the hotel in the evening, I found that the hotel simply ignored my requests to bring a pillow and a chair. The most "fun" was waiting for us ahead. As soon as we threw back the blanket before going to bed, we found that the whole bed was teeming with ants. I brought the information to the hotel manager on the prescription, he pretended that this was news to him. I barely managed to arrange a room change, but he was also with insects. The most amazing thing is that we were given a replacement room on the Covidnom floor. We had no choice but to spend the night in this room. I brought the information to the reception staff that we would leave the hotel tomorrow and requested a refund for 3 nights, to which I was confirmed everything would be fine. In the morning, when I asked for a refund for 3 nights, the hotel refused me at the beginning they said that it should have been done yesterday, then that the money did not come to the bank and that the money would be returned to me in a week. I realized that it was useless to swear and I didn't want to lose money either, so I agreed to change the number. We were given a slightly larger room than before. But the main problem remained in the bathroom there was no mirror, the hair dryer and the shower holder did not work. For our family, staying at the Sirkeci Istambul Best Hotel for 4 nights was like in a horror movie. I can say that we are not picky people, but when, in addition to cheating on the characteristics of the room and non-working devices, the presence of insects in the room, I think it's too much. It came as a surprise to me that Booking did not respond to my requests for help in any way. I will still deal with the site. Therefore, I do not recommend a trip to the Sirkeci Istambul hotel
Best Hotel if you don't want to spoil your vacation!!!
