We stayed at Hotel Sumengen in 1993 and on return to Istanbul in 2026 wanted to go back. We were not disappointed. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly. The hotel is charming and spotlessly clean. The breakfast has an extensive selection of authentic Turkish foods and the breakfast room has a sea view. The location is still as characterful as we remember it, although there are now more restaurants and small supermarkets. We will stay at Sumengen again next time we visit. Thanks Joe, Can, and the rest of the team!
Had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel very welcome. The rooms were clean, spacious, and well-equipped with all the necessary amenities. The location is perfect, close to main attractions and easy access to transportation. Breakfast was delicious with a great variety of options. Highly recommend this place for anyone visiting the city!
Excellent loc’n - within 5 mins by foot to the Mosques.
The room was spacious and clean.
Note: recommend to take shower during off peak hours if you like hot showers.
My family and I had a wonderful time at this hotel. It was my daughter's birthday trip.I requested a decoration room and a birthday cake. The staff were extremely helpful! My daughter didn't know the surprise that's why she was so delighted! The decoration was pretty and of course the cake was delicious!
The location and breakfast were also nice, we can access the central of the city easily. It takes only 10 minutes on foot. l love the view from the restaurant in the hotel.
I appreciate the hotel. I'd like to come back soon! Thank you so much!

The hotel was in a great location, with parking. The room was really big with lots of space but the downside was the paper thin walls - you could literally hear EVERYTHING that was happening in the rooms around you which unfortunately didnt make for a restful stay.
We were very pleased with this hotel. It is not new, but very cozy, on the contrary, it is even better. The staff is amazing, they helped us with all our questions, special thanks to the staff for the breakfasts, we really enjoyed them every morning.location - the very heart of Istanbul, just perfect. There is a very nice market nearby, we bought a lot of clothes and Turkish delight there. Highly recommended.

Staff were great - bathroom door not working, parts of hotel were run down. The breakfast while plenty was not great.
Price was too high compare to room size and facilities. What I booked I did not get the same type room! Some employees was rude and has no manner no warm greeting nothing ! Location was great close to all attractions. Great area for food walking and shopping area . Breakfast was so so ! Their airport service was great , room service was good .
We loved our time at Sumengen! The staff was wonderful, especially John and Fakir. Very helpful and friendly. Breakfasts were lovely, with lots of choices. And the location was perfect for us. The room was spacious and very comfortable. I highly recommend this small, well-run hotel.
It's a perfect families place and seniors couples, its very close to the old city, mesquitas, shopping and museums.
The service is amazing, the breakfast is a typical turkish menú, We have a good experience with new flavors and food.
If you hope the typical american breakfast ,this is not the place, but if you're intelligent and searching the best place for your vacations, this is the place.
All the personal in the hotel ,works for your confort and rest.
They will tell you there is no room left, mistake!
These people are shameless liars. They did not let us check in this hotel, put us in some other place. We were not given any other choice. They blame hotels.com system. So disrespectful. I know they do the same to many guests. God damn their business!
