Mercure Istanbul Sirkeci

Wonderful hotel in a historical building which is why smoking and alcohol are not allowed. This made for a very nice family-friendly environment. Also, the room is beautifully decorated. All the staff members were friendly, respectful, and professional, especially Mr. Sercan. The location can't be beaten: it's super close to the tram and the metro station, and very close to Eminönü ferry station. Would definitely book again if I come to İstanbul in the future.

Everything is great about the property, the staff are very generous, smile and know what the meaning of customer service is. The location is 10/10. If you are looking to visit Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and Sulaymaniyah Mosque I would recommend staying here, they are maximum 15 minimum walk away. It’s a very touristy area, so expect it to be busy, however from your room you’d never know, it’s very well sound proofed. There are an ample of food places. It can range from expensive to relatively cheap. The hotel has a restaurant and sheesha lounge as well. There is a Hafiz Mustafa literally round the corner. Many sheesha places (if you are into that). I would definitely be coming back.

Location was ideal and the connectivity was amazing.... just 5min walk from Sirkeci Tram station and Metro. Many nice restaurants, cafes, bars and street food joints are so nearby. The area buzzes with activity till 1am. All major historical attractions (TopKapi Palace, Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar etc) are 15-20 walk away if someone doesnt want to use Tram. Hotel staff was smiling & welcoming. Special words of praise for Emrah, Maya and Aydin at Reception desk who were always friendly & helpful . Our review wd be incomplete without mentioning Sercan who guided us to the right places (restaurants, cruises, sight seeing etc). Wifi was good. Currency Exchange shops were just 2min away.

We did not have breakfast in the hotel, as it is till 10.30 only and we woke up later, so we did not pay for it. The hotel is beautifully designed, in Turkish style, everything was very clean, the personnel was very friendly. The cleaning was perfect. We had superior twin rooms. The rooms are big enough, especially for the centre of Istanbul. There is a rather big wardrobe in the room, a safe, small fridge, electric kettle and tea, coffee and sugar as well as drinking water are provided by the hotel. The curtains are great, they block the light as they are double, with thick textile. It is possible to open the windows which is great if you want some fresh air. I liked the beds and the pillows, but my son thinks the beds were too soft))) The bathroom is rather small, but very comfy if used by one person, everything is designed well and really comfortable, the shower cabin is big enough. There are USB sockets near both beds, but only one electric socket in the room, which is near the door, far from the beds, so it was not so comfortable to charge the computers. The location is absolutely perfect - in the historical center, close to Ayia Sofia, to the bridge, to the trams and the ships station, to the market, Basilica, the Park, etc. The shops and restaurants are everywhere, but the hotel is very still as the street where it is located is pedestrian only - you have to walk appr. 50-100 m to the road, but the staff and taxi drivers help with the luggage, so it is no problem with that. This hotel is the place I would like to go back to. It is not cheap at all, but i think it is normal taking into consideration its location.

I had an amazing stay at the Mercure İstanbul Sirkeci Hotel. The location is absolutely fantastic, being very close to the Mahmood Pasha market, the beach, metro and bus stations, and plenty of taxi options. It's also surrounded by many shops and restaurants, making it incredibly convenient for both shopping and dining. The reception staff, Mr. Aydin and Mr. Adam, were exceptionally welcoming and helpful. They made sure all our needs were met and provided excellent service throughout our stay. I highly recommend this hotel for its prime location and outstanding staff.
