"The hotel was really nice, clean and almost brand-new. The most comfiest beds, best staff members, very nice environment with cats, and a delicious breakfast by Melahat.
Mert took care of any need and so did Ahmet & Eren, no matter what time of the day or night it was. Go to this hotel, it is SOO worth it."
"Great hotel and staff!
The room has a great location, with 10% discount at the restaurant and free bottles of water, tea, coffee and baclava is definitely a plus on the staying.
Totally recommend!"

"Staff was excellent and very helpful. Location was perfect and easy to get to everything we needed. Rooms were as described and had everything we needed. Will come back!"
"Seven Hills Hotel delivers one of the most iconic experiences in Istanbul. The rooftop offers absolutely breathtaking views of the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia — an unmissable spot for photos, whether you're staying there or just stopping by.
Service is top-notch. The staff are genuinely friendly, and the rooftop restaurant team, especially the waitresses, go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. Meals are very reasonably priced, and the included Turkish breakfast is enormous and authentically prepared.
I arrived early, and while my room wasn’t ready, Fatma and the front desk team worked hard to accommodate me. When the check-in took longer than expected, they generously upgraded me to their top suite — complete with Hagia Sophia views and an in-room spa. It was a perfect gesture and made my stay unforgettable.
Highly recommended. Would return without hesitation."
