We stayed for four nights in the Oba Hotel. We had a nice time. The staff was very hospitable and made us feel welcome and at home. It's a small hotel but with good facilities, clean and very close to the highlights of Istanbul. We got a lot of advice where to go and where to eat. Breakfast was very... More

Our experience at Oba Hotel was not as we expected when reading other travelers reviews. The location is close to main touristic places of Sultanahmed, and that is why we assumed the far from cheap price. But it is not as conveniently situated as other hotels around. The almost vertical slope that leads to Oba Hotel is really though to... More

We spent two nights at the Oba hotel, which is more like a warm, friendly guest house in a quiet neighborhood close to the Blue Mosque. The rooms were clean, comfortable and inviting with nice touches like Turkish Delight and free water. The staff is wonderful. We had stayed in another hotel the previous night and needed to transfer our... More

Very nice place, close to the Blue Mosque, excellent customer service. You will appreciate the cleanliness and other new decor. If you are very sensitive to hearing other guests in their rooms, this may be an issue, but otherwise this is an excellent place to stay. Rooms are not huge, but that is what you get for staying in so... More

The Oba is a perfect hotel for a city break. Spotlessly clean, with friendly and helpful staff, it is in a quiet neighbourhood that is close to the main sights of Istanbul. Fantastic breakfasts. The mosque and the car wash at the back of the hotel can be noisy, but there is no escape from the call to prayer anywhere,... More

Just as the title says, a great hotel with a great location and with excellent staff (regards to David and Ismael). The rooms are very clean, and the bed is really comfortable. No bad things to say. Would come again and I will definitely recommend Oba to all my friends and relatives.

We loved this place, some 5 mins walking to the blue mosque. The area is surprisingly quiet and authentic. The owner is a true host. We first had a room on the ground floor. This was too noisy from the reception area and preparation for breakfast. When we asked for another room the next day he had to reshuffle some... More
