    Exceptional

    Above & Beyond Expectations

    Pros: Let me start by saying that this hotel has been one of the finest properties with the best value, location and staff as I have experienced in my world travels. I am happy to recommend the Regie hotel to anyone planning to visit Istanbul; you will not be disappointed! From my experience (travelling as a couple), here's why we loved it: Staff: Gokhan and the entire staff here are fabulous (he is famous on TripAdvisor reviews for a reason!). They went above and beyond to answer all of my tourist-related questions prior to arrival and organized top-notch taxi transfer service from the airport which made the commute fast and easy. We ended up experiencing an unforeseen situation and they were beyond empathetic and flexible to meet our needs -- these are the times when you can truly tell if the people/company are authentic and caring --- and they are! Their hospitality truly made us feel so welcome in Turkey. Hotel: Rooms are very sophisticated and upscale; we had a standard room, so I can only imagine the superior suites! Everything was spotless and the bed was comfy. Breakfast was in a beautiful room and had a good variety on offer each day. Wish we would have had time to use the complimentary sauna downstairs! Location: Prime location within walking distance of all tourist sights in the Sultanahmet area. It was on a side lane of a popular street, making it easy to access, yet sound-proof from the city noise. We felt completely safe walking home at night from dinners to this location, which is super important. As a side note, I'd used Google Streetview to preview prior to booking and it was hard to get a true vibe of the area. I can attest that it is an excellent location. All in all, if we ever get the pleasure of visiting this marvelous city again, we will 100% be return guests at the Regie Ottoman.
    Cons: Nothing not to like here.

    Wonderful

    Really enjoyable stay.

    Pros: Excellent location, 3mins from a tram stop to Sultanahmet Square, 20 min walk. Surrounded by great choice of restaurants. A converted tobacco factory with a 200 year old marble staircase, the decor created a great ambience. We were upgraded to a large suite, very comfortable bed and excellent room service.
    Cons: No lounge area to meet up with friends, except the bar area. You could have coffee and drinks there, but it was small.
