Lotus Hotel in Istanbul

the best place to stay if you’re looking to have a comfortable time with extremely friendly people. Sir Buran is so kind and so helpful, so is his wife and the cleaning lady. My experience was truly amazing and as an international student, I wish I could rent a room in Lotus Hotel instead of dorms. They have such friendly cats and dogs. I also brought my cat and he was very calm and relaxed. I highly recommend you to stay at Lotus if you want to stay in a quiet, peaceful and communal environment.

The excellence, modesty and humility, not only of the facilities but also among the staff, makes the hotel a distinguished reference in the city of Istanbul.

The entire operation and the hospitality of the establishment are commendable, dignifing, and exceptionally pleasant.

The customer service here is excellent — the staff, especially the lady who helped us, was extremely helpful. It’s very animal-friendly, with lots of cats and dogs around, so it might not be ideal for kids who are nervous around animals. Management is great, and the location is decent. Room was clean

A lovely hotel that makes you feel right at home. Don't be discouraged by the outside of the building. The room had everything I needed and was sparkling clean. The breakfast in the morning was fantastic - fresh salad, olives, cheese, bread, and fruit. The family who runs the hotel are very kind and helpful.

I loved Lotus Hotel in Istanbul so much! It's a bit out of the way which I liked. It was in a quiet area, yet still close enough to the Old Town. Depending on where you want to go, it might take about an hour to walk (I did walk a couple of times). Or you can catch the tram, or buses – the stops are nearby.

My room was very spacious. It had a double bed + a single one that went unused. I found the bed to be comfortable.

Wifi was excellent. It was one of my requirements as I needed to join some online meetings late at night. I read a lot of reviews for different hotels and weak, or non-existent wifi seemed to be a bit of a theme. Won't have to worry about that at Lotus Hotel.

I liked the homely feeling of the hotel. It really felt like coming home. The owners were incredibly lovely and friendly. Always had a little chat with me when coming and going. Gave recommendations, made some excellent tea, and even gifted me a fridge magnet when leaving which I happen to collect :) I'm embarrassed to say I've forgotten their names (I knew I should have written it down), but the gentleman even walked me to the tram station when I left for the airport. And he helped carry my heavy suitcase up and down the stairs.

My favourite part, though – they have cats and dogs! Loved giving belly rubs when the pets were in the reception area when I passed through. Sometimes they were out for a walk.

All in all, I had a fantastic experience staying at Lotus Hotel. Would definitely stay there again, and would also recommend to others.

Very fine and also pet-friendly owners. Great value for the money in a quiet neighborhood away from the chaos of Istanbul centre. My only accommodation choice when in Istanbul. Highly recommended.

Enjoyed my stay at the Lotus Hotel. Super welcome and hospitality from the staff! Fun and entertaining cats and dogs for pet lovers. Spacious room with air conditioning as well as a window that opens if you want some fresh air. The room also had strong WiFi a nice size mini refrigerator comfortable bed and a ventilated bathroom. A large and tasty breakfast is included as well as luggage drop off. Local neighborhood with a market restaurants and a short walk to Balat tourism. Also nearby is a tram stop that will take you to the metro and many Istanbul tourist attractions.

Very nice experience! The hosts were lovely and very friendly. Breakfast was good, and they have beautiful pets 😍

The kindest team ever at this hotel and they have the cutest dogs and cats there too. The hotel is very close by to Kadir Has university, with a couple of nice eateries and a supermarket. Basically everything you need. There are also T5 tram and bus stops around, so super easy /close to go to the touristy areas from here.

Great place, the crew is really helpfull and friendly.
Rooms are comfortable and You can get there tasty breakfast.
