Elanaz Hotel

The breakfast has very nice, specially the simit, that was the better that I could find in Istanbul. The hotel is small, so everyone (specially Hussein) will take care of you and know you. They got us a very reasonable transfer to the Airport by Taxi (payed in advance at the hotel!). Another very good thing is the location of the hotel. It is near a Tram stop, the Train Station, the Metro Station, and the cheapest Bosforus cruise boats. You can easily walk to the Agia Sofia, the Blue Mosque, and the Spice Bazar. But, as a big advantage, also very near on Hocapasa Street and Ibni Kemal, you have self service restaurants, Pide shops and bakeries (eat some borek) that have prices for locals, not prices for tourists.

This is my fifth stay at this hotel in past twelve years. As always excellent place for accommodation. Everyday room cleaning and towels change. Perfect location and friendly staff.

Many thanks to the management for the upgrade. I really enjoyed the view.

People are simply amazing: Husseyn is great and super helpful guy, Irina as well. The facilities are really nice, location near the most important landmarks of Istanbul.

Great location: next to the tram and many sights but still quite calm. Very kind staff. The view is great. The breakfast is ok. Nice bathroom with a big drawer and a modern shower.
