"I had a great stay at this charming hotel. While it’s not very big, it was incredibly accommodating and had everything I needed. The staff were outstanding—special thanks to Yaseen and Zulfiye, who were especially helpful and friendly throughout my stay. Their warm hospitality really made a difference. The breakfast was a highlight—fresh, tasty, and a perfect start to the day. The location is also fantastic, literally right next to the trams, which made getting around so convenient. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it! "

"Seven Hills Hotel was the perfect home base for our time in Istanbul. The location couldn’t be better. It was right in the heart of the old city, just steps from the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful. They booked our hammam experience and arranged airport transfers, which made everything feel easy and taken care of. Their attention to detail really stood out. The rooftop terrace was a highlight. The view of the city and the Bosphorus was stunning, and the restaurant had great food in a peaceful setting. It was the perfect place to unwind after a full day. Everything about our stay felt smooth, thoughtful, and comfortable. I would absolutely stay here again."
