Hotel Coliseum

Place is decent with good service and very friendly and accommodating staff, location is absolutely perfect and central to almost most attractions of the city. Breakfast was good but could do a little variety.

I had a lovely time at the Hotel Coliseum Istanbul. The room was well maintained with a great view. Location is great for T1 tram and walkable to all major sites in the historic part of Istanbul. The breakfast was lovely and traditional. The hotel managers were all super helpful to answer all my questions about the sites, the culture and everything about Istanbul/Turkey! There is a market just outside of the hotel on Wednesdays I believe. Incredible place for the price and I would definitely come stay again! Highly recommended!

Great place to stay. It is my third time here and I would absolutely recommend it. Great location and view. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Thank you Mehmet for your help! Tasty breakfast and the best Turkish coffee.

"Overall, it was a decent hotel, well-maintained and clean. We stayed in room 201 on the second floor, but if you prefer a quieter atmosphere, I'd recommend selecting a different room, as there was some noticeable traffic noise. Despite this, we enjoyed a pleasant three-day stay. While the breakfast could use some improvement, it's reasonable considering the price."

The room is tiny, the bed big and comfortable, pillow lumpy. There is a notice that you must wear a mask in this hotel, but noone does. The lift is tiny with mirrors, to confuse you. Breakfast was okay with nice scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, bread, pastries. There is instant coffee, but you can ask for Turkish coffee.

This is the 2nd time that I spend some nights at Coliseum Hotel Istanbul. It's perfectly located behind Sultanahmet. The room is comfotable and clean and the area is not a noisy area so . The manager is very helpful giving you reliable info .. so what else?

About us : We were four of us staying in the hotel for over 4 nights. We occupied totally 3 different rooms.

The owner : Mr Mehmet was very welcoming and provided us with all information for best place to go to massage, hamam, sea food, bazaar areas, buy spices, visit the museums and touristic spots as well. He is a wonderful guide and very jovial and very fun! He is always greeting you and your family with a smile!

Location : The hotel itself is very close to Blue mosque, The water cistern which is newly renovated, the technology museum, the archeology museum, the Gulheni Park, Topkapi Palace and Hagia Sophia.
If you want a peaceful seaside walk also you can find it is very close to the sea shore and the sunrise and sunsets are really beautiful from the terrace in this hotel. Very breathtaking and amazing scenic and idyllic!

Breakfast and Food : The breakfast is a good spread of cheese, pastrami, bread, eggs, potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, many type of olives, turkish coffee, turkish chai (tea), paneer (cottage cheese), milk and other condiments.
Upon request, you may bring your own dinner here. We stayed almost 4-5 days and one of the days my family was really tired and we decided to parcel food from outside in a packet and MR.Mehmet provides you the space for using it as a dinner space. This was very convenient for us.

Room : The room is beautifully and very delicately decorated with gilded fabrics, makes you feel you are staying in a mini Topkapi palace. The rooms are very well equipped with wardrobe, safe, drawers, bedside tables, a computer table, dressing table, an additional credenza, a TV with remote, fresh linen and soft pillows. The room also comes with soft slippers, a laundry bag, etc.

Toilet : The toilets were really clean, with hot water, clean towels, face towels, toiletries, mirror and handles to place your clothes upon, a hair dryer, a toilet with bidet (health faucet) and toilet paper. All toilets have an exhaust.

Terrace: This is the most beautiful place to be. You can even bring your own condiments and enjoy an evening here with the sunset and watch the ships and city night life light up as the sun is setting into the ocean. It is simply very mesmerizing and worth coming to this hotel even if it is just for the view alone. You can also see the blue mosque from the terrace and fantastic spot for selfies.

Access: All cabs, taxi is available. Trams is walking distance so it is very convenient.

Lift : there are internal lifts for access to other floors.

Overall : We as a family really enjoyed ourselves at this Hotel with their warmth and hospitality. We will recommend to everyone who wants to stay in sultanahmet area and surely for families with children and couples who want a quiet time by themselves. It is an exclusive Gem hidden in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Istanbul giving 5 star service and we are very lucky we found this place and had the pleasure of meeting Mr.Mehmet !!

I liked my stay there! Cozy nice hotel, attentive service, good breakfast! And great terrace where u can sit, drink tea or coffee and enjoy the view.

Good breakfast, there are no curtains in some windows so the light enter early in the morning
