Description

Calenberg Hotel is a three-star property located in Istanbul's Fatih district, offering a range of room types from Economy Double rooms to a 2 Bedrooms Deluxe Suite. The hotel maintains a cleanliness rating of 9 out of 10, reflecting generally well-kept accommodations. Guests will find 24-hour front desk service available for assistance at any time. While the rooms are described as clean and some feature large windows and new air conditioning, soundproofing is a noted issue with thin walls allowing noise from neighboring rooms. Breakfast is served daily from 8:00 to 10:00 as a buffet, though opinions on the quality vary. The hotel operates with a reasonable price-performance ratio, making it a budget-friendly option for travelers. Note that pets and service animals are not permitted, and the minimum check-in age is 18 years old.

Location

Calenberg Hotel sits in the Nişanca neighborhood of Fatih, Istanbul, approximately 511 meters from the sea. It is about 12 kilometers from Istanbul Ataturk Airport. The hotel is near several cultural landmarks, including the Istanbul University Rıdvan Çelikel Archaeology Museum (302 m), the II. Bayezid Turkish Bath Culture Museum (310 m), and the Turkish Pharmacy History Museum (444 m). Public transport access requires a steep uphill walk to the tram station, which is around an 8-minute walk from the property. The hotel is located on a downhill street, so expect some elevation changes when arriving or departing.

Tips

  • Expect some noise from neighboring rooms due to thin walls, so bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper.
  • Prepare for a steep uphill walk when accessing public transport near the hotel.
  • If you require amenities like a kettle or a hairdryer, confirm availability at check-in since some guests reported missing or broken equipment.

Extremely friendly staff and pleasant clean rooms. However, the walls are thin so you can hear the room next door - disturbed often during the night. The location is not in the best of places, not recommended for families but still safe with plenty of local amenities.

There was no kettle in our room, the hair dryer was broken... but otherwise you can basically spend the night... The staff is normal, the breakfast is so-so... not very good...

i had a good experience 👍🏼

Was here one night during transit in Istanbul. good breakfast, clean room

I chose this area because I usually stay near Galata Tower, but this time I wanted to explore other neighborhoods.

Overall, the price-performance ratio is great. I had a room with a large window and a new air conditioner — everything felt brand new.

Despite all the bad things in the hotel, the worker is so rude. They just want to steel your money, they get 90 dollars from us and reject to give an invoice or tack the payment by card

Great for the budget
We stayed in a family room for 5. It had 2 rooms in an apartment style setting with kitchen sink. We had a comfortable stay..breakfast was also ok. Would be better if they add croissants or something to the menu. Hotel location is towards bottom of the downhill street so there is a steep climb towards the tram station. Overall it is good.

Very nice hotel stayed with my mother for 2 weeks and it was a great experience. the staff and reception were nice and welcoming, they assisted us with whatever we needed and any issues we had they always go above and beyond to deliver the service . breakfast served was good , everyday different food . room service is exceptional everything was cleaned well and nothing was taken/misplaced. what i loved about this location is its in the market area only 6 minutes walk to large markets , 8 minute walk to the tram its a really good close location thats gets you where you need to go in tourists sites. overall you get what you pay for

Great quiet location in the centre of Istanbul, comfortable beds and great showers. Staff were so friendly and always available. Can highly recommend.

Very small rooms. It's cramped for two. Walking to the hotel on a steep slope is not very pleasant. The rooms need renovation.
