Kent Hotel

Excellent location with tram stop outside giving easy access to all tourist attractions. Good sized clean room, excellent breakfast, friendly helpful staff.

Convenient location. All tourist attractions are within walking distance. Tram stop right in front of the hotel.

Staying at Kent Hotel was a very nice and comfortable experience, the location is perfect, the rooms are comfortable and clean. The staff is very helpful and accommodating. For a tourist in istanbul they have made the trip so much better and more convenient. The food is very good too, their breakfast has a variety of options for different tastes and needs and their timings are flexible. Everything is neat and delicious. Highly recommend and will probably stay at this hotel the next time im in istanbul.

Excellent location on a very safe, walkable area. The staff was wonderful. We had breakfast and dinner at their restaurant. Food was delicious and the service impeccable. They have a nice sidewalk cafe that is fun to people watch. Again, great service. Our first time to Istanbul, clean friendly city with lots of history and things to see and do. We loved it!!!

This is a great modern hotel right in the thick of the pedestrian area that links bazaars, Blue mosque, Hagia Sophia. The metro and tram just a moment away.
The food on the first night was tasty.

We travelled as part of a UK coach touring holiday. Were surprised to find out that the hotel is in an alleged pedestrianised area so our coach could not park nearby, so we had to carry our own suitcases through a couple of crowded streets to reach the hotel (not the hotel's fault I know). I say alleged pedestrianised because it is on a main thoroughfare for the trams in each direction and on either side of these busy tram lines there seems to be a lane for motor cycles and e-bikes and even though there is a pedestrian crossing, motorists ignore the rules so be careful. That said, once we reached the hotel our Tour Manager quickly allocated us our rooms (there were 32 in our party) and the staff on Reception were polite and efficient. A dinner had been arranged for us due to our late arrival and again the restaurant staff were friendly and efficient and the very plentiful courses were delicious. Staff and food at breakfast times during our 3 night stay were equally nice. Being in an unknown city, we weren't aware how close the Grand Bazarr and Blue Mosque areas were as we were transported around by coach - but by day 3 we realised that the location of the hotel is good for independent travellers, especially if you can master the tram system for which there are stops right along the street. The trams stop sometime after midnight and start again around 6 a.m. but with the window closed, didn't impact on our stay very much. Our corner room on the third floor was find if a little on the dark side - if only other guests would be considerate when they get back to their rooms and not talk so loudly and slam doors! Again not the hotels fault. If we were returning to Istanbul independently, we would book this hotel now having a better idea of where the main tourist sites are.

This is the best hotel ever. Best price, clean, excellent customer service, and best location. Close to everything. Don't waste your time looking for another hotel.
