The staff at this hotel were incredibly helpful and kind. The breakfast they serve is amazing (and huge!) with eggs, fruit,pastries and a number of Turkish dishes. Our room was huge and incredibly charming! Bed was very comfortable. They had tea and coffee in the room and a small fridge with drinks and snacks. You could walk from the hotel to ALL of the sites, it’s so well located for sites, restaurants and shopping. I strongly recommend this charming boutique hotel. You will love it! They even took a poloroid of us in the dining room on our last morning for use to keep. So sweet!

"Following my recent visit to Istanbul, I would like to share my exceptional experience with the miniature hotel I have chosen. As a solo traveller, I carefully compared the options in Istanbul, and it really won my heart through online searches. My four-night stay last December exceeded all my expectations. First of all, the hotel staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful. The breakfast was simply extraordinary, and the atmosphere created by the staff added a special dimension every morning. I felt safe and comfortable throughout my stay, thanks to the impeccable cleanliness of the hotel. The hotel's privileged location, in the heart of the old town and a few minutes from the tram, made my trips very convenient. The quality of the catering, the general atmosphere and the breakfast room were aspects that I particularly appreciated. The roof offering a perfect panoramic view for my afternoon telework sessions. I highly recommend this hotel at 100%. For an optimal experience, I suggest requesting rooms on the upper floors, thus avoiding possible first floor noises from the reception during the night. For me, this hotel undeniably deserves a 10 out of 10. Happy stay to future travellers!"

This property is a charming gem. Great location, charming rooms, great roof top deck, superb breakfast and wonderful people. Close to all Istanbul attractions, good restaurants and transportation. Our room was on the small side, but had all we needed, with charming antique accents. Very quiet, since we faced the back. Would definitely return there.

Very good location. Walking distance to many major sights and near to restaurants. The area was safe and lively but not loud. Staff were helpful. They arranged a dinner cruise for us one evening and helped us with transportation back to the airport. Their breakfast was very good with fresh cooked eggs, fresh bread and many Turkish salads served with a variety of fruits and cheeses. The rooms, while smaller than I had expected, were very nice, clean and well decorated. The bathroom was stocked with shampoo, conditioner, lotion and a dental kit. Plenty of hot water and were very clean. I would definitely stay here next time. The location alone makes it ideal but the staff and the lovely rooms made it extra special.

Amazing hotel in a great location. This hotel was beautiful, we had the top floor to ourself which made our stay very quiet. It was spacious, well covered with blinds to block out the heat, great air con and a great bathroom. The only negative was that ONE of the spa features was not working which was communicated to the Hotel Staff. The other feature worked but was too strong to just relax in it. Apart from that this hotel has one of the best terraces you will find in Istanbul. It is the perfect height to see the Sofia and the Blue mosque. The hotel is well renovated with beautiful features in every corner. The breakfast was delightful. The waiter (From Azerbaijan) is an incredible human. Speaks multiple languages and is very lovely to speak to. The cleaning staff (One Gentleman) was amazing. The staff at the hotel make it even better. Thanks for the lovely stay in Istanbul.

We would like to thank the staff of Hotel Miniature for the wonderful time we had during our stay there between June 21-25. Everybody was so friendly, polite and accommodating! Always smiling and ready to help! Thank you nice people! The hotel itself it's a hidden gem in the heart of the busiest and most attractive part of Istanbul. It is located literally 5 minutes walking distance away form the main tourist attractions: Hagia Sophia, The Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern and the Grand Bazaar. The hotel is very clean, modern looking and well maintained. Rooms are unique and offer everything needed for a relaxing stay when visiting Istanbul! Breakfast is a must, offering samples from the local food and more traditional foods at the same time. Once again, we have noting but praise for the staff of the hotel, no mater kitchen staff, servers, cleaning staff or the front office - they all were great and made us feel welcomed at any time! We highly recommend this hotel to anyone who visits Istanbul, especially for tourists visiting for the first time! Thank you Hotel Miniature!

We had a wonderful 5 night stay at Hotel Miniature. Could not fault anything. The staff were very helpful before and during our stay answering our many questions. The room was quiet, clean and very comfortable and had all the amenities that we required. The breakfast was superb, so plentiful with many different options and all so very tasty. The location was perfect, we were able to walk to all the main tourist attractions with the Grand Bazar, Spice Market, Basilica Cistern Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and Topkapi palace all within close proximity. We also were able to walk across Galata Bridge to visit the tower and walked up to Taksim Square, this is a little further but still manageable and we got to see so many different things along the way. The hotel also had a great number of restaurants close which suited us for dinner each night. Would definitely recommend.

I can’t say enough about what an awesome experience my husband & I had at Hotel Miniature. The room was charming & clean. The staff were warm, friendly & hospitable. The location was within short walking distance to restaurants and the city center. We were pleasantly surprised by the breakfast feast included with our stay. The food was delicious and more than we could eat! From the roof, we enjoyed an incredible view of Hagia Sophia & the Bosphorus Bridge. We plan to return to Istanbul one day & we will definitely stay at Hotel Miniature.
