Vicenza Hotel

Vicenza Hotel Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Vicenza Hotel on Fevziye Caddesi, you immediately sense you’ve found something special in the heart of Şehzadebaşı. This four-star property sits right in the thick of historic Istanbul, and honestly, the location alone makes it worth considering. The building has that classic Istanbul charm — not flashy, but solid and welcoming in a way that makes you feel like you’ve discovered a local secret rather than just another tourist hotel. The thoughtful design creates an atmosphere that appeals to travelers seeking authenticity.

The Neighborhood Advantage

Here’s what I love about staying in Fatih — you’re literally surrounded by layers of history, but it’s not touristy in an overwhelming way. The Grand Bazaar is practically around the corner, and you can walk to Süleymaniye Mosque without breaking a sweat. What really impressed me is how the locals clearly outnumber the tourists in this area, which means authentic food spots and real Istanbul life happening right outside your door. You can actually explore on foot here without feeling like you need to hop in a taxi every five minutes. The neighborhood offers genuine cultural immersion that few other districts can match.

The Room Experience

The room I stayed in was well-appointed without trying too hard — clean lines, comfortable bedding, and those little touches that show someone actually thought about what travelers need. The windows give you glimpses of the neighborhood’s daily rhythm, which I found more interesting than any generic city view. Air conditioning works properly (crucial for Istanbul summers), and the bathroom is modern enough to feel fresh but not so sleek that it feels cold. Every detail reflects practical consideration for guest comfort.

Morning Fuel

Breakfast here is actually something to look forward to — they do a proper continental spread with halal options, which covers pretty much everyone’s needs. The buffet setup means you can grab what you want without waiting around, and I appreciated having both Turkish classics and familiar international options. Coffee’s decent too, though if you’re serious about your morning caffeine, there are some excellent local spots within a two-minute walk that’ll spoil you completely. The dining experience sets a positive tone for each day.

Why Guests Love It

The repeat guest thing makes total sense once you’ve stayed here — it’s that sweet spot where you get genuine comfort at reasonable rates, and the staff seems to actually remember returning visitors. Couples especially seem drawn to this place, probably because the neighborhood has that romantic, old-world Istanbul vibe without being overly polished or crowded. When you can walk to both historical sites and authentic local restaurant spots, plus have a comfortable base to return to each evening, the value becomes clear. The location score of 9.1 reflects how this area gives you the real Istanbul experience while keeping you close to everything that matters.

Best hotels in Istanbul pair Bosphorus panoramas, private spa suites, and chef-led Anatolian tasting menus.

  Ms Ece presence during breakfast was really positive entertaining some talks with us to see our mood and if our activities were okay and that dialogue was appreciated.
  Mr. Djokai ( sorry for spelling) whose shift in the night was helping us constantly from the minute we reached the hotel : he gave us indication on finding cell phone data, accompanied us nearby to make it easy, gave us a metro card free of charge! Kept welcoming us during our stay.
  But also the other staff at reception were great : Mahmut, Hasan, the two other clerks who carried our bags ( sorry for names…), and a great room cleaning staff with that lady on 4 th floor who is absolutely human and smiling !
  The location is great. Near the Vicenza hotel in same street a restaurant manager great to visit he was making magician for my 7 y. Old son . He gave us a reserved table for New years festival at 10 pm ! Go and enjoy their food too.
