We landed in Istanbul just before midnight and got to the Violin Hotel by taxi about 45 minutes later. It had looked lovely online, with beautiful photos and positive reviews. We were a little unsure because we couldn't pay ahead when booking, but the website's "check in and out anytime" wording reassured us. The driver kindly waited while we tried to get in, but after about 10 minutes I let him leave because it wasn't fair to keep him there. The hotel next door called the Violin Hotel concierge for us. He said he'd be there in 10 minutes. When he arrived, he told us check-in wasn't until 2:00 p.m. and we'd have to find somewhere else for the night. We explained it was our first time in Istanbul, it was late and our phones weren't fully set up, but he didn't offer help, Wi-Fi or suggestions. He just said "sorry" and went back inside, leaving us stranded in an unfamiliar area in the middle of the night. Luckily, the staff at a nearby 24-hour restaurant let us use their Wi-Fi, rest and charge our phones while we looked for somewhere else. We eventually found a much better hotel, where the compassionate staff let us wait in reception until our room was ready. I wouldn't recommend or trust the Violin Hotel. The experience felt unprofessional and inconsiderate, and nobody should be treated like that, especially after arriving late in a new city.

The owner and staff were kind and helpful with everything, both inside and outside the hotel, and this was the best hotel experience you could have. There are great restaurants nearby, and the sea is only a few minutes away for a walk or run. The Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia are just a couple of minutes away too, with all that history to explore.

We visited in summer 2025 and found the hotel comfortable and lovely, with everything nearby. The staff were so friendly and ready to help whenever we needed them. Many thanks from KAZAKHSTAN.

We could watch the sea from bed, which made our room feel especially lovely. The family-run place felt dependable, and they helped us throughout our holiday. It’s also easy to get around from here, with public transport close by and Sultanahmet Square just a 5-6 minute walk away.

The rooms were spotless, especially for the area, and the price was affordable. Thanks to Mr. Salih for being so supportive and welcoming.
