We spent four nights in the Uyan Hotel for the New Year 2008/09 and had a great experience. This is a very charming small hotel, located between the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque and close to the tram station Sultanahmet. The house has been renovated a couple of years ago and we find our room (standard room on the... more

This is one of those boutique hotels which could have been fabulous, but fell so far short. I booked a standard room and the first impression upon arrival was great -- the lobby was done up charmingly in an English library way, with comfortable looking sofas and carpets. The front desk personnel, a young man whose name I don't recall... more

We just returned from 3 nights in Istanbul. The hotel had been recommended by colleagues who had previously stayed there. As there are a lot of boutique hotels in the area, we wanted to go with something with a recommendation. Plusses: The hotel is clean, in a great neighborhood with easy access to all of the sights, public transportation, etc.... more

The hotel is in very good location, near all the sites in the old city and transportation to outside of the old city. The breakfast is very good, the luggage person is very helpful. However, to be comfortable, you need to stay at the de luxe room at a higher floor, though, the light has very low wattage. The standard... more

We were met at the airport which is a relief in a foreign bustling environment. The reception staff were competent in English and check-in was hassle free. My only gripe was that... more

We have just got back after 4 days at the Uyan Hotel in Istanbul. The hotel was better than we expected: spotlessly clean, quiet enough (being so near the Blue Mosque did mean an early morning wake up call!) and with efficient staff. The view from the terrace is amazing. Our free transfer went smoothly and for the return trip... more

I picked this hotel out of the blue and it was a real find! We stayed for 7 nights in a room on the first floor overlooking the street, and it was amazingly quiet (even the Call to Prayer didn't wake us in the early a.m.). The staff were all extremely helpful and friendly. The bathroom was clean and pleasant,... more

Uyan is just off the exciting part of Istanbul - you can easily reach and see the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sophia, etc. The rooms are large and very comfortable. If your arm was twisted the only negative would be a lack of a friendly face at the front desk while we were there. I know that we were... more
