Consistent hotel - same as our stay last year. Great location in quiet street with no cars. Excellent service. Good value for Istanbul. Short walk to tram. Only complaint was I had trouble peeling the boiled egg at breakfast :-)

There is nothing really wrong with this hotel. There is nothing really special about it, either. We stayed at this hotel at the beginning and end of our 2 week trip in Turkey through Gate 1. The location is OK. For most of the big attractions you will need to take the tram (nearby) to Sultanahmet and Eminounu. The front... More

We got our room for 116$/n what a great deal for this hotel! The staff is amazing, very polite, accommodating. The rooms are clean and modern. The breakfast and dinner buffet has a great selection. One thing that I would change in this hotel is they're safe policy... There's a safe in the room but u can't use it until... More

Nice and clean hotel with good location. 5 min walk from tram and 20 minutes walk from Hagia Sofia. Breakfast was good. The staff in the reception desk reminded us of travels in East Germany during the 80ies. Not helpful or polite, just uninterested and did not bother to do anything extra. We did not get the promised fruit basket... More

The hotel is located in a not large street of a populated area. It is not far from the old city (a 20 minute walk along a main street or three stops by street car). A comfortable medium sized lobby welcomes you: a small reception desk, sofas, tables, a screen showing all flights in real time. The interior décor is... More

Stayed two nights beginning and one night at end of tour. Standard class hotel comparable to a holiday inn or hampton inn. Rooms are clean, beds are hard as bricks and pillows are harder. Breakfast buffet is standard fare, food was good, no problems there. Desk Services were efficient though not overly friendly. Want a tourist map of the city?... More

I stayed here for two nights at the start of my Gate1 Affordable Turkey tour and one night at the end. It is a well situated hotel similar to many I've stayed at in other European capitals. Tiny lobby and elevator, clean rooms, with good bedding. Free Wi-Fi. Quite decent buffet breakfast. The hotel is located on a busy street... More

Last time I was Istanbul, I left wondering if the hoteliers got the memo that non-smoking rooms shouldn't smell of smoke at all. This time around, the Hotel Vicenza proved at least they got the message. No sign of smoke in the rooms nor lobby to my relief. Dare I say it's a totally "non-smoking" hotel? I may be premature....

Overall I enjoyed this hotel. I have no complaints about the room. Clean, updated. Great water pressure in shower. Staff was kind and accomodating. Only downfall was on our return to Istanbul. First part of our trip was during the week and things were quiet. On return it was weekend and lots of noise came through. Seemed to be a... More
