Reviews

  • Louise from South Africa (9/10)

    I love the place and the friendly staff. Breakfast was good. Location the best.
    Thanks for everything. Will recommend it to everybody.

  • Ajied from Malaysia (9/10)

    When I arrived, the staff at the counter helped me and my friends carry our luggage up the stairs to the third floor. The room is spacious and comfortable. Clean bathroom. The heater works well. The location of the hotel is close to Hagia Sofia and the Blue Mosque.

  • Andres from Colombia (9/10)

    The location of the hotel means you can easily walk to many of the most interesting places in the city centre. The breakfast was also very good.

  • Alwyn from South Africa (8/10)

    You cannot get a better location. I have stayed at Hotel Han on 3 trips and its always what's expected, not perfect but comfortable clean and homely. Having the Barbecue restaurant at your doorstep is also great to end your day of excursions. Always a lot of fun with the friendly staff. Great access to the tram station that you can easily get around on to limit long walks. Although in that area that can also be a good thing.

  • Raphael from Switzerland (7/10)

    Very central location close to all the main attractions. The room is not big but comfortable and the terrace offers a view on Hadia Sophia.

  • Abdalrahim from United Kingdom (8/10)

    Excellent location, nice area, old building but very clean.

  • Farheen from Mauritius (7/10)

    For the price and the location, that place is recommended, specially that it is 10 mins walk from Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace etc
    The atmosphere was amazing, the location was vibrant, some of the staffs were amazing, a special thanks to Vetsel, who’s been so helpful and professional and who ensured we had a good stay.

  • David from United States (8/10)

    The location was only two blocks from the metro station that we took from the airport and was only a few minutes walk from sites such as the Blue Mosque. We only had one night in Istanbul and it was more that adequate with a good breakfast to boot.

  • Azicojan from Uzbekistan (8/10)

    The location of the hotel is superb.

  • Safiya from United Kingdom (8/10)

    The location is fantastic – only a few-minute walk from the main attractions and excellent transportation links. The room was small but it's good value for money. The bedlinen was clean and fresh.
