Hotel Spina is a superb and quiet location right beside Ayasofia and the Blue Mosque. I can not imagine how others here have said it is noisy, as apart from the inevitable and 5 times daily Mosque call to prayer, the place is lovely and quiet. My room 302 had double glazed windows not a stones throw from the Blue... more

We had an awesome stay at this hotel.....6 of us young friends were looking for a good, not so expensive but fancy hotel at the same time. The truth is we stayed at another hotel on the same street but it turned out it was more suitable for the older people and also too high in price for not so... more

Stayed at the Spina for 11 nights. The boutique hotel has one of the best locations in Istanbul, the roof top terrace has perfect views between the blue mosque and the Hagia Sofia. The area is not too busy and away from the back packers world a few block down but remains within 5 mins of the blue mosque. The... more

I have just returned from a 4 day stay at the Spina Hotel and wouldn't reccommend it. I've stayed in lots of budget hotels so that really wasn't the problem. As with another reviewer during our stay the water was suddenly switched off in the morning mid-way through a shower. On speaking to reception I was told that the water... more

The hotel is nothing special. On the plus side, the Spina hotel has a great location only 5 minutes away from the Blue mosque and the Aya Sofia. Breakfast is pretty good with nice views from the terrace and there is free Wi-Fi. However, the room where my wife and I stayed was small and run-down looking. The air conditioning... more

The hotel was in a perfect location a few metres from the Blue mosque but the beds were very hard and uncomfortable, the rooms were not cleaned out at all,apart from the beds being done. Due to this area being a popular tourist area it was quiet noisey til about mid-night and early morning again, the first day we go... more

Our party of 6 from the UK stayed at the Spina Hotel for 5 nights this May. A delightful ,small, boutique style hotel, it is situated in the perfect spot between the Sultanahmet (Blue mosque) and Santa Sophia, but was also lovely and quite. Breakfast was taken on the roof terrace overlooking these monuments, and on a series of sunny... more

There are clearly a number of people who have not enjoyed their stay in the Spina, but we stayed there for 3 nights with barely any issues. I booked Executive Suite 404 at the hotel after spending a lot of time on this site and general googling to try and find a really great suite for my wife and I... more

The only redeeming factors for this hotel were its location (right next to the Blue Mosque and the Aya Sophia) and its rooftop garden (one of the higher ones in the area), the hotel was a big rip off and lacked any sort of customer service. I was travelling with a male colleague and accordingly, we reserved two rooms. However,... more
