This was one of the most upsetting experience. Firstly, the hotel was located at a rough area which feels unsafe at night (very dark alleys, with rubbish around the street). At night, you could hear siren sounds when sleeping. Nonetheless, the interior of the hotel was okay.
However, we encounter terrible situation with the toilet in our room. The first night, the showerhead broke and fell onto me, hurting my head. This was reflected with the reception, but no compensation was made.
Then on the second night, the shower gel glass bottle broke off the rack, because the cleaner did not lock it tight after refilling. The glasses shattered all across the shower area. At this rate everything that happened was danger to our safety.
We don’t want any other guests to encounter such risk or unpleasant experience. Please could the hotel also address this and if possible, compensate us for what happened.

Superb location. Right next to Spice Market & public market. Very vibrant atmosphere. Also walkable to the main tourist attractions like Blue mosque & Basilica Cistern. Very friendly staff & help us book a taxi & push our luggages to the pick up point. Since the hotel is within a pedestrian zone, taxi cannot drive in you have to walk a bit.

The hotel's location is excellent, right in the Old European Quarter, making it super convenient to get anywhere. The Grand Bazaar is right downstairs. Personally, I think the biggest highlight of this hotel is the view from its restaurant. On a clear day, standing on the balcony and looking out at the Bosphorus and the mosque is truly amazing. However, because it's in the old city, the rooms are really small, and the layout is quite peculiar. Overall, the pros outweigh the cons, and it's definitely worth a stay.

Mest Hotel is a wonderful boutique hotel located right in the heart of the historic Spice Bazaar area. The moment you step outside the hotel, you are already surrounded by the vibrant bazaar atmosphere — perfect for shopping, exploring local products, and enjoying the lively energy of Istanbul. There are plenty of restaurants, cafés, and food stalls just steps away.
The hotel itself is not large, which gives it a cozy and intimate boutique feel. What truly stands out is the excellent service. The staff are extremely friendly, attentive, and genuinely care about their guests, always ready to help with a smile.
Breakfast is served on the top floor, and the breakfast area is absolutely beautiful. The food selection is varied and well-prepared, offering a great start to the day. From the breakfast area, you can enjoy a stunning view of the sea and a beautiful blue mosque, creating a memorable and peaceful morning atmosphere.
Overall, Mest Hotel offers an exceptional location, warm hospitality, and a charming experience. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to stay in the very heart of Istanbul’s historic and cultural center.

I stayed at Mest Hotel with my mother, and our experience was absolutely perfect. The location is ideal for exploring everything the city has to offer. We had the loft family room with a beautiful view of the mosque. Something we had requested in advance because my mother really wanted to see it from the room, and the hotel made it happen.
The staff were incredibly friendly, and the man who cleaned our room every day was especially kind and genuinely grateful. We also really enjoyed the breakfast and the overall service during our 5-night stay in Istanbul.
Mest Hotel is truly a place I would highly recommend. A wonderful stay from start to finish!

We took loft family room. It has the bazaar view but not noisy when the window close. Totally sound proof. We should have taken bigger room.
The location is amidst bazaar. Its good for people who wants to shop. Its near the tram and Eminonu ferry station.
Breakfast has nice view but not to our asian tastebuds😅.
Overall 6/10.
