Arrêtez de lire un instant ! Ceci est un appel à toute personne honnête et décente : cet hôtel (Aa Violin Boutique Hotel) n’est pas un cinq étoiles comme le laissent entendre tous les sites de réservation. C’est une arnaque, une fraude : après avoir payé la totalité de la réservation, et alors qu’il est censé être un cinq étoiles comme il est écrit, il n’en mérite même pas une. C’est un véritable désastre. Il est situé au cœur d’un quartier très ancien et les rues sont cahoteuses et inconfortables. De l’intérieur, l’hôtel ressemble à une prison. Les trois premiers jours, l’électricité a été coupée et il n’y a pas de générateur ! On vit et dort sous la chaleur et le service est très mauvais ; c’est un désastre. Je demande combien de pots-de-vin cet escroc a payé pour être classé cinq étoiles. J’aimerais savoir comment il a été assimilé à des hôtels cinq étoiles ? Combien de pots-de-vin a-t-il payé pour ça ? — Ne louez pas dans cette prison. — Arrêtez.

My recent stay at the Violin boutique hotel in Sultan Ahmed was truly a delightful experience. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and exceptional service. Despite our early morning arrival, the hotel's staff was incredibly accommodating, maintaining excellent communication via WhatsApp to ensure a smooth check-in process. The room key was ready for us, complete with a passcode for easy access, allowing us to settle in promptly. The hotel's location is simply unbeatable. Nestled in the heart of the Sultan Ahmed district, it offers easy access to the city's most iconic landmarks. Within a mere 5-minute walk, we found ourselves marveling at the architectural grandeur of the Hagia Sophia, the serene beauty of the Blue Mosque, and the historical significance of the Basilica Cistern. This prime location made it effortless to explore the vibrant atmosphere and rich cultural heritage of Istanbul. Beyond its convenient location, the Violin boutique hotel also impressed with its comfortable and well-appointed accommodations. The room was clean, stylishly decorated, and provided a peaceful retreat after a day of sightseeing. The staff's attentiveness and friendliness made us feel truly valued and ensured that our stay was as comfortable as possible. Thank you so much for everything!

Very friendly welcome, we arrived early but the hotel next door work together with Violin so they took our bags until it was time to check in. Housekeeping was very good. Own key for the outside door meant easy come easy go. Would have loved a kettle in the room though the owner did offer to make tea anytime. Aircon worked very well and fridge was useful.

Nice sea view

Everything ok. Staff amazing and so friendly and respectful, my booking was for economy room and that was on ground floor but they gave me on second floor with sea view which was amazing The only think i never like in business family which live in the same building with guests, is always noisy in the building for people who spend more time in the room, Shutting doors or calling each other so loud. Especially small buildings

A nice and memorable place to stay

I booked the room with the sea view for my parents and they absolutely loved it there. The room was clean and comfortable and they had this nice view of Bosphorus which they could enjoy the sunrise. Moreover, the location is so great and you will have access to the old city as well as nice restaurants within walking distances. Be careful about the stairs though if you are taking your big luggage with you, you might ask for some help as the staircase is a bit narrow but it doesn't bother at all :) All in all it was a very nice place for its price for sure.
