Hotel Sapphire

Ich würde nicht ein zweites mal dahin.

Das Hotel ist völlig ausreichend, wenn man nur zum Schlafen dorthin geht. Denn die Lager ist unschlagbar und das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis stimmt einfach!

very good hotel

Our staying in Istanbul was ever more wonderful since we were at Hotel Saphire, with lavishing breakfast,cool swimming pool and the complete staff - from receptionists, waiters, cleaning people. Hotel is near great traditional food places and walking distance to the Galata bridge. At the hotel we were offered an airport shuttle which was affordable and lovely. Definitely coming back!

The place is very near the tram station and its maybe 3 blocks from it. Breakfast is very nice and a decent variety of food is available. There is a live looking station that makes eggs of your choice. The pool is the basement is heated . there is a sauna which is very clean and so is the Turkish bath (self service and free) . restaurant across the narrow alley is open late and staff is friendly. Neighborhood is very safe. Hotel might charge for water in the mini bar even though you don't use it (which is like 25cents ) so not a big deal. Staff is extremely helpful , pleasant, friendly and a few staff members speak adequate English. Internet is so-so. Tv chanels are all Turkish. From airport nearest Havaist (bus) stop is Eminunu. Go to basement to buy bus card and it takes 45 min to bus stop. Hotel is 1 km (1/2 mile) from bus stop.

Excellent service, always accommodating and available 24/7. Great ;location with numerous restaurants nearby.

We had a good stay at the Sapphire hotel .The staff were very helpful although I was a bit disappointed in the room, it didn't look as inviting as the photos on the website. It was very cramped with three beds for two people, A table was in the way so we put it on top of the spare bed, the curtains didn't close properly, the bed was stained. On the good side it was a great breakfast with plenty to choose from ,it was nice to have a sauna and a swim after busy days taking in the sights of Istanbul.

The property is very old. The room condition need major renovation. The staff service delivery is good and strive to overcome the Hotel Condition.

Good points-Central location near key sights, sauna, pool good, reception staff helpful, leaving gift given on departure negative points- breakfast limited & repetitive, rooms small. Overall a pleasant hotel in the heart of the city centre and the surrounding area busy during the evening with restaurants & shops. Tram close by.
