I recently stayed at Rodion Hotel in Istanbul and had a truly wonderful experience. It’s a perfect place for travelers looking for a comfortable, home-like environment at a very reasonable price. The hotel is simple, neat, and cozy — not luxurious or extravagant, but offers everything you really need for a pleasant stay.
The owner and his son, Mehmet, deserve special appreciation. They are extremely kind, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything you need — from travel tips to directions. They both go out of their way to ensure guests feel at home and well taken care of.
A big thanks also to Jannat, the lady who prepares and serves the breakfast. She is very polite, hardworking, and excellent in her work. The food was always fresh and delicious. .
The night receptionist, Umar (Uzbek), was also very cooperative and friendly. No matter the time, he was always there to assist and make sure everything was comfortable.
The location of the hotel is another big advantage — very close to Eminönü Tram Stations (T1 & T5) and Haliç Metro Station, making it extremely easy to reach all major attractions like Sultanahmet, Galata Tower, and the Spice Bazaar. The street itself has restaurants, grocery shops, fruit stalls, and other basic amenities, so you’ll find everything you need just steps away.
Overall, Rodion Hotel is an ideal choice for budget travelers who want a clean, peaceful, and friendly place to stay in the heart of Istanbul. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for genuine hospitality and a homely atmosphere.

Very good family hotel in the city centre of Istanbul. It is located near Subway station. Clean room, good view, cozy atmosphere, high-quality service. There is a fridge, hairdryer, kettle in the room. There are several shops, market, cafes near the hotel. It is possible to order the breakfast and it is very tasty. Good place to stay and relax after walking in Istanbul.

I really enjoyed my stay at Rodion Hotel. The hosts — a father and his son — were very friendly, welcoming, and hospitable. On the first day, they even offered a complimentary welcome breakfast, and free tea was available throughout the day.
The room was clean and well-equipped, with everything necessary for a comfortable stay (fresh towels changed daily, hairdryer, mini fridge, and a large TV). The shower had strong water pressure and plenty of hot water.
The location is excellent — right in the center of Istanbul, close to public transport and major attractions. The neighborhood is also very authentic, full of diverse and affordable restaurants, with the famous A101 supermarket just across the street.
The hosts were always attentive and ready to help with any small issues. They even provided umbrellas when it rained. Breakfast was rich and delicious, the perfect way to start the day.
I would definitely stay at Rodion Hotel again!

The Rodion Hotel is an optimal choice for a budget friendly stay in Istanbul and boasts great value for money. The rooms and ablutions are clean, the beds are comfortable, and the staff helpful. The included breakfast is good and sets you up for a day of exploration in Istanbul. Mehmet and his family are hospitable and relaxed making the stay all the better. I’d recommend the Rodion to the intrepid tourist in Istanbul who is looking for something central, simple, and cheap.

It's value for money. Clean, hommy. For ones who looking for simple clean room, quiet area, not crowded and wanna feel native neighborhood, the hostel is the one alternative. It runs by family who for Turkish they are in the level of very nice. The historical places are in the walking area. This is the main reasons I choosed this place. In the morning or night You can chill in the edge of Bosporus area very close with Halic. If you want to go further it's easy to catch the public transportation of Istanbul that very convenient. Only one thing, coz I don't eat breakfast, only once meal a day and I eat only protein so then I didn't have chance to taste the food of the madam. But, around the neighborhood it's easy to find what you want to eat.. I like the slow roated chicken just cross 2 m in front of the hostel..near the A101 small supermarket that you can get anything, yogurt Aryan bread water etc in at very normal price.

I requested for refund as I could not board flight due to health conditions. I provide flight cancellation proof to trip.com . But it is the hotel who refused to refund. Beware if you book non refundable with them.

I really liked this hotel, if there is a chance, I will stay in this hotel again. The room is clean and cozy. TV, refrigerator, kettle, tea and sugar, slippers, hairdryer, all this is there. Wi-Fi worked great. The view from the window was on the street. The street is noisy and dirty. It is not far from the metro. It takes no more than 10 minutes to walk uphill to Suleymaniye. Many thanks to the hotel for a good rest, for positive emotions. I wish the hotel further prosperity!

Despite my flight being canceled (due to a strike), the owner refused to reschedule my stay. (Nothing was forthcoming). Trip.com (through no fault of my own) issued a compensation in Trip Coins. I then took a look at the Rodion Hotel from the outside... 😂 To my surprise, I discovered that some of the rooms didn't even have a window... 😯

Great for budget travellers. EXCELLENT location, we walked to Sultanahmet etc, and super easy transport to everywhere else (bus depot, tram, and ferry all in 7 min walking distance). Lots of good, reasonable restaurants around (post inflation). Service was really friendly, family owned business, communicate through translate and you'll be fine. Simple but clean rooms.

I had a wonderful experience at this café! The atmosphere is absolutely stunning — the beautiful stone arches, cozy seating, and warm interior design create such a relaxing and classy vibe. It’s the perfect place to unwind and enjoy your time.
One of the best parts is the breathtaking view. You can clearly see the Galata Tower, and the entire surrounding area is visible from the café. The panoramic view makes the whole experience even more magical, especially while enjoying a coffee.
The service was excellent, and a special thanks to the host, Muhammad, who was incredibly welcoming and attentive. He made sure everything was perfect and made us feel genuinely comfortable.
The seating is comfortable, the ambiance is peaceful, and the overall experience was fantastic. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a charming café with great hospitality and one of the best views in the city.
Will definitely visit again! ☕✨

Visiting Halic Coffee has been an incredible experience. Great food and service, but the best is the incredible view over the Golden Horn of Estambul. Beautiful place!. Thanks.

Perfect spot for breakfast, coffee or shisha with beautiful view, except it is understaffed and you could wait way too long. 45 minutes for cappuccino (other person from table already had his long ago) and over 1 hour for breakfast. It’s okay if you have a free day, but not if you have a schedule.

Such a beautiful view and great room. We stayed in and watched the fireworks over new year from the room and it was excellent. close to the metro and easy to navigate.
The owners and staff were extremely helpful, booked a taxi to the airport for us and were very accommodating, conversating with us and offering tea.
