We had an absolutely amazing stay at Side Hotel. The staff were wonderful and welcoming, the rooms and atmosphere were great, and the hotel was a few minutes walk from the major tourist attractions. I would definitely recommend this place and will be staying there again in the future. Thank you to the amazing team!

Very close to the sights. Staff was super helpful and friendly. The room was very quiet. The toilet was too close to the shower meaning you had to have some part of you in the shower to use it. The curtains failed to block the outside light from coming in. The bed mattress could be replaced. If I ever go back to Istanbul that’s the place I would stay.
