Sarnic Boutique Hotel

It was very pleasant and nicely situated near both the Blue Mosque and St Sophie. And, the personnel is helpful and nice. A great place to stay.

I stayed at the Sarnic with my boyfriend for 4 nights. The location is wonderful as it is right next to the blue mosque and next to everything in the old town. A cute little park is located right down the street too which you can walk through to get to the water. Very close to the Grand Bazaar and Spice market. Also easy trip to the Asia side, just a 30 Lira cab ride. We were placed in the premier part of the hotel for one night which was great, but asked to move for the remaining three nights which was a hassle. When we asked why we were put into this position, the 'concierge' if you could even call him that was extremely rude and unhelpful. He told us that the reason we had to switch because in the room we previously book a women had been sick with a stomach bug. I told the man that this was poor service and a. he should not tell paying guests this about a room they are about to move to and b. that we would appreciate it if he could either let us stay in the first room or put is in a room where someone wasn't sick the day before. He was extremely rude to us and told us basically there was nothing he could do as well as failing to make us feel comfortable for our stay. The rest of the weekend we felt awkward walking into the hotel lobby while he and his staffed starred at us without uttering a word. Aside from this and the EXTREMELY uncomfortable mattress in the second room (the first one was great!!) we had a great time and the hotel like I said is in a great location!

I stayed at Sarnic Hotel with my family for 4 nights and had a really good experience at the place. It is small private kind of a hotel where the staff is super friendly and the rooms are nice and clean. The breakfast is amazing with very large selection of items and the their restaurant chef is amazing made some good food. The best thing about the hotel is that everything is at walking distance. Blue Mosque is literally across the street. You can access all the historical place really easily from this hotel. All in all i would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Small but adequate rooms in great section of town. Very friendly staff. We didn't spend any time in the room other than to sleep so it was just what we needed. Hotel staff helped us with tours. Breakfast was quite good. Istanbul is all about getting out and around town so this suited our needs quite well. Nothing fancy but a decent value overall. Very nice shuttle service to/from the airport. Hotel responded to our advance email about late arrival which was appreciated.

Sarnic Boutique Hotel was our "home" in Istanbul as we spent seven nights there---long enough to become acquainted with all of the staff. Location is absolutely ideal---10 minutes to the Blue Mosque----great neighborhood with lots to see and do. The hotel staff is terrific and willing to help any way they can. Our room was on the fourth floor of the old part of the hotel so was a bit of a climb(!); shower was dinky but had unlimited hot water with great pressure; air conditioning was great; breakfast was generous (included in room rate); the roof top restaurant was a disappointment. Two restaurants on the street were super---really recommend both. The location of the Sarnic was perfect; that alone cancels the negatives. Next trip to Istanbul we will ask to be in the new portion of the hotel---what luxury: an elevator!!!!!!

The sarnic hotel is a nice hotel in many ways. When we arrived so early we were kindly told we could leave our bags by the reception staff. This was the nicest reception person but more often there were people at the desk who were not as nice as him. The room was very nice but the bed was very, very hard for a hotel bed. I did not like that bed. The bathroom was nice but the shower stall was extremely small. Really. It was too small! I really liked the breakfast! There were lots of good things to eat there, yogurt with honey, hard boiled eggs, cheeses, fruit, breads and good coffee. The staff there were very nice. The location was excellent! Extremely close to all of the popular sites! Now, here is my beef witht he sarnic hotel. One night we had to go to a restaurant that required reservations. Fine. I tried to call with the hotel phone but it didn't work. I couldn't reach the outside line. We were charged 13 lira!! That is crazy. So, in summary, I would say it is a great hotel is you don't mind a really hard bed and a tiny shower and so-so reception guys.

Walking distance to nearly all attractions in Istanbul (we easily walked to Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Grand Bazaar, Archetecture and Islamic Art museums, Hippodrome, restaurants... and one of our people has a bad knee). GREAT cistern/art gallery available free. Sweet, helpful staff with an attention to making foreigners comfortable. We had a room in the "old section" of the hotel and our friends were in the "new section." Our room was roomy and nice, their room was a little smaller but very pretty and "boutique." Breakfast did have hot dishes (I had read online it didn't) and there is a nice rooftop restaurant and bar with a great view of the Blue Mosque. This is not a standard business/luxury hotel, but has a taste of local flavor without sacrificing comfort. We had a wonderful stay.

This boutique hotel is a close walk to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, and the metro. We really enjoyed our stay here. The staff was very friendly and the breakfast every morning was good. The rooms were small, but clean.

The only positive thing was the location but you can find many others hotel in that area. The air conditioning was bad with air contaminated it was impossible to breath, 1st floor, noisy. Elevator to terrace broken the 2 days I was there, one afternoon with no water in the bathroom, incorrect charge in my account, only one reception person very friendly, nothing more.
