Excellent experience!

Orhan and Ali run a clean and honest hotel. My experience at the Lenus was excellent in every respect. They were available and willing to help me in all things, from getting cash to navigating the city, day or night. Next time I come to Istanbul, I’m staying here.

Great hotel! Felt like new with the updated rooms and bathrooms - very clean. Breakfast was good, they even made me an iced latte on my way out every morning. The rooms are on the small side, but the cleanliness makes up for it. Lots of restaurants in the area and close to the train to get around easily.

I reserved a room with double beds. It was clean but much smaller than expected. Beds do not have regular blankets, but something like waffle oversize towels.Two people can barely move around there without bumping to each other. Luckily it was just for one night. Area around it is not the best, lots of noisy merchants and garbage on the street.

Öncelikle Orhan Bey’e ilgi ve alakası için teşekkür ederiz. Odalar gayet temiz, hizmet ve ikramlar çok iyi. Şehrin büyük sorunu olan otopark ise bina önündeki küçük alan ile çözülebiliyor. Başka bir İstanbul seyahatimde tereddütsüz tercih edebileceğim bir yer.

Fiyat performans oteli. 4 gece kız arkadaşımla konakladım. Bulunduğu semt kozmopolit bu yüzden pek tekin sayılmaz ama 10 dk yürüme mesafesinde metro, tramvay ve marmaray var. Turistik yerlere ulaşımı rahat. Odaları biraz küçük ama temizdi. Kahvaltı açık büfe değil, standart tabak olarak geliyor. Ama istediğiniz şeyden ekstra getiriyorlar. Doymama durumunuz kesinlikle olmuyor. Çalışanlar ilgili ve güleryüzlü. Gönül rahatlığıyla konaklayabileceğiniz bir yer.
