Sirkeci Mansion

This hotel is located on the European side of the city within walking distance of major tourist attractions and surrounded by restaurants and shops of all varieties. We stayed in a standard room which had a room safe, tea/coffee making equipment, excellent air conditioning and a small fridge. The room was spotless and cleaned daily. There were also complimentary bottles of water for each day. The shower had good temperature, storage and power points were limited but we use packing capsules and carry multi point charges so we managed. Our package included breakfast which was a mix of cold and hot dishes (sweet and savoury) fresh juice and tea/coffee. There is a comfortable lounge, sauna, pool and gym and in house massage can be booked at reception. All staff are welcoming and very friendly. We arranged a laundry service in house (charged by the kilo) and a staff member went to collect it when it was not returned at the allotted time. There is a complimentary afternoon tea and reception will send postcards for only the cost of postage. Our booking was made through Fez Travel whose office is just 30 meters from the hotel and who were very efficient and helpful (see separate review).

Gülhane Parkı'nın yanında, güzel, butik bir otel. Yürüyerek Yerebatan Sarnıcı'na, Topkapı Sarayı'na gidebiliyorsunuz. Tramvaya da yakın. Kahvaltı gayet güzel. Fatima Hanım'a çok teşekkür ederiz. Her sabah bizi güler yüzüyle karşıladı. Çok kıymetli bir insan. Misafire değer veriyor. Resepsiyondaki beyler şahane insanlar. Otelde hamam ve havuz da var. Odamıza ne istediysek çok hızlı bir şekilde getirdiler. Odaların konforu artırılabilir. Havalandırma ve kasa gözden geçirilmeli (31 Ağustos-2 Eylül 2025).

I had a fantastic stay at Sirkeci mansion hotel. The manager and his staff went out of their way to make me feel welcome. There’s a free cooking workshop (where you get to eat your own food), city tour and many other activities for both families and solo travelers. The location is perfect- near Gulhane park and minutes away from the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. There’s a spa in the basement.

ممتاز

Мы останавливались в особняке Сиркеджи во время нашей первой поездки в Стамбул и не были разочарованы! Номера очень чистые и хорошо укомплектованы чистыми полотенцами, мылом и водой. Небольшая тарелка турецкого восторга была и для нас! К сожалению, мы с мужем сталкивались с заболеваниями, передаваемыми через пищу, и персонал был так полезен, принося нам дополнительные воды и хлеб, и предлагая места, где можно найти какие-то грязные вещи, чтобы поесть. Также их предложение Pino Gare Rooftop в качестве первого - ночное место ужина было прямо на цели для уставших путешественников! Завтрак в Sirkeci изобилует хлебом, горячими блюдами, множеством мяса и сыров, а также фруктами и многим другим. Ответственный сотрудник был внимательным и просто прекрасным. Действительно весь персонал был добрым и полезным в течение всего нашего пребывания. Единственный минус отеля в том, что до него трудно доехать. Есть смысл, чтобы встреча в аэропорту была организована отелем, чтобы водитель знал маршрут. Наш хороший друг возил нас, и он не из Стамбула, так что мы видели много близлежащих улиц неоднократно, когда мы пытались добраться до отеля! Но разве путешествие не всегда является приключением? Отель супер удобен для многих туристических объектов. Из нашего номера открывался вид на парк Гульхане, который в это время года пышный и зеленый. Трамвай находится всего в квартале, но большинство объектов можно пройти пешком от отеля. Мы бы с радостью вернулись в особняк Сиркечи!

Это был наш первый визит в Стамбул, и мы не могли выбрать лучший отель. Идеальное расположение в тихом районе, но недалеко от всех главных достопримечательностей. Персонал был чрезвычайно полезным во всем. Следующий визит в Стамбул точно будет в том же отеле.

Отличный отель! Прекрасные завтраки, удобная локация, тихая улица

Middle of everything

Walking distance to several historical sites, a green park, the bhosphorous, surrounded by many cafes and restaurant. Friendly staff and good breakfast. Especially enjoyed the food tour offered by this hotel.

Great Hotel in a great location! 5 stars!!! I stayed in a twin room my first night, and the regular room was just fine, thank you. However, because my wife was joining me, I upgraded to a top floor room with a balcony. It was worth the extra expense! The view was great! We both loved our stay! The location is fantastic... It’s on a quiet street in the historic old city. The wall of the palace is across the street... There are nearby gateways into Gulhane Park, which is where the Topkapi Palace and related museums are located. Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque are as close as a 15 minute walk. There is a tram stop on the corner in the direction of Hagia Sophia. In the other direction, another 10 minute walk will get you to the train station that was the terminus of the original Orient Express train. Across the street from the train station is the ferry terminal! Access to the rest of Istanbul could not be easier. If you’re in the mood, you can walk to the spice bazaar. Public transit is easy and efficient, and the hotel is well situated for exploring the area. We stayed 7 days and used only public transportation. We took ferries, trams, metro and busses. No need for taxis. Breakfast at the hotel was quite good and we got to know the staff. In particular, get to know the manager, Okay. He is good at his job, and had great advice for things to see and do, as well as how to leverage public transport. He is well connected and can also arrange tours, if you are so inclined.

In Istanbul – unser Zuhause“ Wir hatten erneut die Gelegenheit, vom 09.08. bis 11.08. im Sirkeci Mansion Hotel zu übernachten, in dem wir bereits zuvor zu Gast waren. Schon beim Check-in wurden wir herzlich empfangen. Da wir zu sechst waren, buchten wir drei separate Zimmer. Alle Zimmer waren geräumig, hell, lagen zur Straße hin und waren äußerst komfortabel sowie sehr sauber. Die Betten und Kissen waren unglaublich bequem, sodass wir einen sehr erholsamen Schlaf hatten. 😀 Das Frühstück war sehr reichhaltig und bot eine große Auswahl, insbesondere das türkische Frühstück war hervorzuheben. Das Servicepersonal war freundlich und professionell. Auch die Lage des Hotels ist ein großer Vorteil: In nur 5 Gehminuten erreicht man die historische Altstadt, in etwa 15 Minuten mit der Straßenbahn das moderne Stadtzentrum. Wer eine Bosporus-Tour machen möchte, erreicht die Anlegestelle ebenfalls in nur 5 Gehminuten zu Fuß. Am Abend kann man auf der Hotelterrasse etwas trinken und den Blick auf den Gülhane-Park genießen – ein echtes Highlight. Kurz gesagt: Unser Aufenthalt in Istanbul wurde durch das Team des Hotels besonders schön. Ein besonderer Dank geht an Herrn Agah, Herrn Enver und Herrn Şükrü, die mit ihrer herzlichen Begrüßung, der schnellen Umsetzung unserer Wünsche sowie dem perfekten Abschied gezeigt haben, wie professionell sie ihre Arbeit ausführen. Wir sind dem gesamten Team dankbar, dass es uns das Gefühl gegeben hat, wie zu Hause zu sein. Wir freuen uns schon jetzt auf ein baldiges Wiedersehen!

Our stay at Hotel Sirkeci Mansion was unforgettable. Ohay’s hospitality and passion for his country turned four days in Istanbul into so much more than a hotel stay. From cooking classes where we shared the joy of eating our own meal without paying for a single ingredient, to a Wednesday tour where he surprised us with bagels, water, and ice cream — every detail felt generous and genuine, never an extra charge. These little experiences gave us the confidence to explore the city like locals, discovering places that were consistently good and honest value. Our room was perfectly balanced — comfortable, spotless, and full of character, with the most beautiful park view. The bed was wonderfully comfortable, and thanks to Beyhan, the kindest housekeeper, the room was always cared for with warmth and attention. I truly wish I could take this hotel with me in all my travels: small, authentic, clean, full of character, and made unforgettable by the people who run it.
