Bender Hotel

I recently stayed at this hotel and overall had a pleasant experience. The building is quite old, which gives it a certain charm, and the location is excellent, just a short walking distance from the main attractions in Sultanahmet. The room itself was spacious and comfortable. There are a few things to keep in mind, the hotel does not have an elevator, only stairs, and because the building is made of wood, you can sometimes hear footsteps from the rooms above. However, what truly stood out during my stay was the exceptional service at the reception. Aykut, in particular, was incredibly polite, friendly, and helpful. His warm attitude made my stay much more enjoyable. The breakfast was okay they can do better. Overall, a well-located hotel with great service, especially thanks to Aykut.

This hotel is an ideal location and very close proximity to all the main visiting sights. It is a clean and relatively new hotel, with classic decor and spacious rooms. The staff are really helpful and friendly. Many thanks to Ferhat, Aykut and Hamza on reception who were really accomodating. The cleaners didn’t speak much English but were lovely ladies called Aynur and Kadriye. The only thing I would say is the choice of breakfast items isn't great and very basic. If this offered more hot food, it would be amazing in my opinion! Saying this, the staff members Serhat, Yiğit and Halit went out of their way to do whatever they could to help, always smiling which was lovely. I would definitely recommend this hotel for everyone.

Pros: Walking distance to all the main sites in Sultanhamet, less than 10 minutes from the Blue Mosque and Aya Sophia Breakfast included which is great given food in and around Sultanhamet is very expensive The front desk staff were hospitable and friendly The beds were very clean
