We stayed, myself, my wife and our 14 year old daughter in this hotel for 4 nights. To provide a good service, it is necessary to truly describe the situation of the hotel to avoid being struck by the excellent reviews present in Trip. I summarize the review by saying that I consider the Minel Hotel a reference in Istanbul and a hotel to book "in a hurry"! The hotel is located in the center, less than 5 minutes walk from Santa Sofia. The structure is small and overlooks a very quiet internal street. The structure is actually dated and the photos inserted by the property do not represent the reality of the facts. After the first impact, we did not "give weight" to the less than perfect condition of the hotel. In fact, we immediately noticed that the room was super clean and well organised, with daily change of towels. The owners are super nice people and very helpful. The breakfast buffet, for us, lacks some "elements" such as hot milk and yogurt. It is important to underline that they do not accept credit cards. Ultimately, we recommend this hotel, because the positive aspects certainly make it a hotel worth considering when visiting Istanbul. I remain available for any questions. I hope the review was helpful: I'd appreciate a quick click on "Thanks, Zioriky".
