Staff are friendly and helpful, few hundred meters away from blue mosque.

Engin was amazing Brilliant service 10/10 ME AND FAMILY SO HAPPY AND IMPRESSED THANK YOU FOR AMAZING SERVICE highly recommended Awesome

I recently stayed at this charming 3-star hotel in Istanbul and was pleasantly surprised by the experience. The location was excellent—just a short walk from major attractions like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, as well as public transportation. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with directions, recommendations, or booking taxis and tours. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything I needed, including a mini-fridge, air conditioning, and a reliable Wi-Fi connection. Breakfast was a highlight each morning—simple but tasty, with a good variety of Turkish and continental options. The rooftop terrace also offered a lovely view of the city, perfect for a relaxing coffee or evening drink. For a 3-star hotel, this place fulfill my expectations in both service and comfort. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable and welcoming place to stay in Istanbul.

The Hotel was old and slightly run down but the room was kept clean by daily house keepers and there was hot water 24/7, the air conditioner was of a very good standard and kept our room at a very comfortable temperature as the outside heat was 27c. The roof top breakfast was a credit to the hotel and the view was amazing. My reason for the 1 * review is a strong one, in that the daytime front desk concierge (Emra) ripped us off. He organised a people carrier to transfer us to the airport for our journey home. We pre-paid him 1700tl which we were told was the full price to be paid for the taxi. On pick up, a completely different taxi turned up. On arrival at the airport the driver insisted we pay him 1000tl for the journey. We explained we had already paid 1700tl to the hotel for the service. After a long heated discussion and police almost being called to assist with the dispute, the driver called the Broken Column Hotel night staff to find out what was going on. It was confirmed that we had all been conned by Emra and that the cab driver would now have to drive 50 minutes back to the hotel to be paid by them. This was an extremely disappointing end to our holiday and what would have been a lovely stay at the Broken Column Hotel. The rest of the staff at the hotel were absolutely fantastic, and let down only by this one person. We only wonder how many other people he has done this to; especially as people don't have time to go back to the hotel and dispute this as they are about to catch a flight, and so most people probably just pay the money. It is absolutely shocking.

The rooms were nice and the staff very helpful

We ordered a doublebed room but when we arrived they said that it was fully booked and we had to have a regular room although having a booking. Also locks didnt work om room and toilet

Excellent and friendly staff! Helpful and excellent location for visiting top monuments plus dining options! Shopping for souvenirs and other local items was absolutely fantastic!
