Fantastic Location, only minutes walk away from most of the main attractions. Very friendly and helpful staff who always took the time to help with any questions. Sehmus was extremely helpful and provided us with excellent customer service. Lovely open garden to sit next to with the breakfast buffet that served a wide variety of tasty food options. Greta family room option with 2 adjoining rooms interconnected which meant a lot of floor space and 2 bathrooms.

Air conditioner worked great. But room heated up rapidly when you removed the card key to make it run when you left the room. Patio nice with the swing. Breakfast was what was expected, good not great. Staff was amazing though throughout stay. Always wanting to assist. Elevator very helpful. Great location.

The room was odd with the low rooflines. Had to be careful not to bang heads. Very little ventilation in bathroom. Thought the cost for what you received was too high.

Really as expected especially the deluxe room 20m sq, with street windows. Clean well maintained and spacious. Thank you for all the service. The hotel is located very close to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia and Topkapi Palace. The hotel staff is extremely professional and caring for the customer needs. Especially staff Zeki, Serkan Sehmus Yunus were kind and helpful, even the cleaners were very professional, they went extra mile for us. I highly recommend this hotel as it is accessible to lot of tourist places, good connectivity for tram and excellent service by all the staff. And the most important and comfortable things are the pillows and bed after a long walking day.

Nothing it was as expected

We really enjoyed our stay at the Obelisk hotel. We are a family of 5 and booked 2 interconnecting rooms. The rooms were clean and of a typical size in the area and had everything we needed. Breakfast was nice and variety ok. Location was excellent, just a short walk away from the Blue Mosque, Aya Sofia and the tram stop. Staff at Obelisk were amazing and made our stay truly memorable. We went on the Bosphorus cruise tour as recommended by reception and it was great. When we had an issue booking a ferry online, Zeki offered to help and spent a long time booking it for us - thank you so much. A bit thanks to all the staff who were always warm and helpful.

Standard Turkish Buffet breakfast, between 7.30 and 10.30am, quite nice and plenty of options

Some more "continental" options would have been a bonus

The breakfast at the Obelisk was stellar. It is prepared and laid out like a feast each morning with eggs, friuit, cheeses, and dozens of other treats that are nutritious and delightful. Compared to America’s finest hotels with their “ free” breakfasts- I’d give them a “1” and the Obelisk a “10”- with 10 being the uttermost excellence.

No complaints- even the cleaning lady is a smiling Angel!

This hotel was a perfect fit for us. We didn’t want to live on a busy street but we also wanted to be close to the main attractions. The hotel is situated perfectly, it’s just 2 minutes walking distance to Blue Mosque. Also we really liked the view from our room, it’s mesmerizing! On one side we have Blue Mosque on the other we have Sea of Marmara.

During breakfast there wasn’t any music in the restaurant. I know that it’s cheesy to say but it would be great to have some background sounds while you are eating ☺️

I travelled from Alaska, U.S.A. and this hotel was the meeting place with my Russian Girlfriend. Everything about this Hotel was fabulous. The entire friendly and helpful staff, the free breakfast, the rooms, the spectacuiar views , the clean rooms and bedding and more.... I shall stay again in Istanbul AND specifically at this Hotel !! Thanks to the Obelisk !

Reception staff ( all 3 ) were superb with friendly attitude. Location, location and location- best for visiting most of the central sites. Breakfast was good. Bathrooms were clean ( my room had underfloor heating).

Coffee / tea machine in the reception lobby would be a great addition.

The location was perfect! The staff was very helpful and the room was spacious and very nice!

Everything was fine. The only thing that we were a little bit disappointed about was that we expected from the pictures to have a terrace accesible in the roof as seen in the pictures but looks like it is only for specific rooms.
