“A little gem”

Best Point is a small family run hotel. The family have worked hard to provide a boutique style atmosphere and are very friendly and accommodating. Nothing seems too much trouble. Welcome drink on arrival, very good breakfast with freshly squeezed orange at a small extra. They were happy to take care of our bags until our late afternoon departure time and even arranged for a taxi to take us to the port. My friend and I stayed in a ground floor twin. The traditional room furnishings were well done, colourful, and opulent. The location takes some beating. You look directly at the blue mosque dome from the rooftop garden which doubles as a breakfast room when the weather is fine. The other view is over Istanbul and the sea - brilliant! Everything is within walking distance. Up the same street are an abundance of restaurants. We ate at the same one twice as the food was so good and the staff very welcoming. It was the second or third one on the left up from the hotel with hundreds of tiny glass lamps covering the ceiling inside.Can't remember the name. Try the chicken or lamb in the terracotta pot with is ceremoniously broken with a long knife! All in all a great time.

“Nice hotel - good location”

Hotel is nicely furnished and location is great, sitting just behind the Blue Mosque. Some may find the rooms to be a little small but they are clean and comfortable. Service at the hotel is great with staff being very friendly and helpful. We were pleasantly surprised by being greeted with apple tea and turkish delights upon our initial arrival. Would definately recommend this hotel for value, location and service.

“Good service, great location”

We are so happy about that hotel! The location is perfect and was at 5 minutes walking from Ste-Sophia and the blue mosquee. The service was so great, helpful and friendly. The breakfast was so great with a lot of choices and they may serve it on the roof of the hotel, where the view is amazing. The bed is so hard, but it's a standard in Turkey. All beds we've tried were like this.

“Best Point a Best Choice”

From the time we got there to the moment we left Fatih and his staff couldn't do enough. If you asked for anything it was done immediately; though usually you were asked first. Everything was done with a smile and sense of humour. Staff were always helpful and were able to give information and knew what to do, places to go. They even arranged a free taxi to and from a restaurant when we asked for a recommendation for a fish restaurant the first night. the food was excellent and good value. We liked the tips box to put tips in for all staff. The bed was very comfortable, storage space good and the bathroom very good. Breakfast was very good with plenty of choice. Eggs cooked to order. The location was excellent; only 10 minutes from the central area with the main tourist sites. Though the hotel was quiet (however nowhere can you truly escape the early call to mosque prayers). We thought the hotel was excellent value for money with an excellent ambience. All in all we could not fault the hotel on a single thing. We enjoyed everything and would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone. We were really sorry to leave and when we did some of the staff actually came out and waved goodbye.

“Hotel Review”

Superb location, especially if you have a room at the front of the hotel, as it overlooks the Blue Mosque. Bedrooms are small but comfortable. Breakfasts are unusual but there's something for everyone.

“à conseiller !”

personnel très accueillant et sympathique bon rapport qualité/prix hotel très bien placé

“Ideal place to stay”

The stay at the hotel was just wonderful, the room was small, but very clean, the breakfast was excellent, lots to choose from pastries, sweets, cheese.The location was perfect, close to sight seeing and shopping. Fatih and his staff are highly trained to help and please the customers. At your arrival at the hotel, they welcome you with a turkish coffee and help you to find you way around the city. The hotel is quiet and very well located. I would highly recommend it.

“Best hotel staff ever”

We were amazed at the efforts of the hotel staff to make our stay enjoyable even to make us soup when we stayed in due to a bad cold. Always warm, friendly, helpful and available. Locaion excellent, very near to the Hagia Sofia and Blue mosque from which most bus sightseeing bus tours operated which we found very interesting. We didn't realise Istanbul had 20 million people, (5 million selling carpets?) There were a few seemingly stray dogs and cats who were well behaved, docile and innoculated and cared for, lovely to see. Would definetly stay here again on a return visit, but at a slightly warmer time of the year. The massed armarda of shipping in the bay waiting to go up the bosphorus strait was a sight to behold.

“Good family-run hotel”

Nice, pleasant staff that were eager to please and extremely friendly. I recommend this hotel!

“Vewry good hotel in an excellent location”

The hotel is close to the Topkapi Museum, the Blue Mosque and St-Sophia as well as to the convenient Tramway. It is in the middle of a very touristic area with a lot of shops and restaurants. It feels quite safe. Breakfast is quite good and the view from the terrace is great. The room was a bit noisy due to the vibration of some AC units outside.
