    This place was wicked nice! The rooftop breakfast was a real highlight, with views of the sea that just about took my breath away. The staff? Just incredible—shoutout to Cansu for her always sunny disposition. Room was clean and cozy, which I absolutely loved. Just wish the spa hours were a bit better to catch some relaxation before heading out for the day.

    family suite
    clean bathroom
    air conditioning

    The family suite features daily fresh linens and a clean bathroom, making for a comfortable stay. Room decor reflects a smart and minimalist style, contributing to a pleasant environment.

    The breakfast options were limited, with a lack of variety and flavor that left much to be desired. even the toast required a trip to the kitchen to get it warmed up, which is just not ideal. Additionally, the cleanliness in common areas left something to be desired, with reports of unkempt carpets and lackluster maintenance in the bathrooms.

    The view from the restaurant is breathtaking! 🌅 The spa was a nice treat, but breakfast could use more variety and flavor. Overall, a great place for a family getaway!

    convenient location
    limited breakfast options
    unclean common areas

    The hotel is conveniently located near public transport.

    During my stay, I faced several challenges that impacted my experience. The breakfast options were disappointingly limited, featuring the same items each morning and lacking in variety and taste. Additionally, the cleanliness of the common areas was not up to my expectations, as the carpets appeared unkempt and the bathrooms weren't regularly maintained.

    cramped room
    poor breakfast

    the receptionist was obviously too busy to pay attention to my needs, directing me to a cramped room where luggage couldn't even fit. and oh, the breakfast was a heartbreaking repeat of the same boring items every day. i expected some sort of welcome gift to make up for this let down but i guess that was too much to ask for.

    great location

    venera offers a fantastic family suite with daily fresh linens and a clean bathroom. the breakfast on the rooftop terrace is amazing, featuring a wide range of options, including delightful turkish menemen and pastries. the hotel’s location is perfect, just a short walk to the grand bazaar and only two tram stops from sultanahmet. you can't beat the access to shopping and eateries nearby.

    friendly staff

    It was just a great fit for a flying visit in Istanbul with best value for money ratio. The staff were friendly and helpful, making sure our check-in was smooth despite us arriving at odd hours. Make sure to ask for extra towels if you're planning to hit the pool. they tend to run out quickly!

    excellent location
    helpful staff
    clean rooms
    uninspired breakfast

    The location is unbeatable, with easy access to all major attractions like the Grand Bazaar and nearby dining options. The staff, especially GRO Gûnez and Bellman Bulent, were exceptionally helpful and always greeted guests with a smile. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and the decor was smart and minimalist, contributing to an overall pleasant stay.

    The breakfast lacked flavor and variety.

    attentive staff
    limited breakfast choices

    good location,, but breakfast could improve

    The location was fantastic, being very close to both the tram and metro, making it easy to explore. The air conditioning worked well and kept the room comfortable. Also, the staff were very attentive, especially the young guy by the pool who was always polite and ready to help. I appreciated our room's view overlooking the city, which added a nice touch to our stay.

    The breakfast selection lacked variety and flavor, leaving us wanting more.
