I really enjoyed my stay at By Kinyas Hotel Istanbul. The location is excellent, with Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque just a short walk away. The hotel was comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Istanbul.
Spent 3 nights here and had a great stay. It was clean and the location is perfect, very close to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. Definitely worth staying here just for the location.
Staff super friendly, location excellent a couple of minutes walk from Agia Sophia, breakfast is rich and tasty, Location very quiet at night helps you sleep deep, very clean hotel and I included some photos I took through the windows of my room and the roof top restaurant.
Amazingly clean, great location close to all main famous historical sites and shopping areas, the staff are so wonderful and very friendly, the receptionist speaks excellent English as well as the restaurant staff.
This is my fourth time at this hotel and Recommend it indeed.
The hotel was excellently located in the centre of Sultanahmet and was excellent value for money - particularly the quality and range of breakfast choices which were all included in the cost. All the staff were really helpful. I would certainly stay again.
We stayed in the largest type of room and it was more spacious than I expected for the price.
The staff is very friendly and helpful.
The location is also great, just a 5 minute walk to Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia.
Hidden gem, truly. The staff is super friendly. They have a beautiful terrace with a fantastic view. Location is also wonderful. I definitely will stay again upon my return to Istanbul.
We had a lovely stay. The rooms are small but well presented and have everything you need. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly and their hospitality added to our trip. Great location to visit the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace which are all within a few minutes stroll. Recommended.

Great experience. Definitely come back to this place. Delicious food in the restaurant, fantastic view from the rooftop. Small but charming room, very comfortable bed. A little gem at the heart of the historic centre of Istanbul.
The staff is super friendly. The area however is very loud. The hotel isn't very well insulated so it got cold this time of year. The area however is very convenient for being a tourist.

The staff were friendly. Good location. Our shower flooded & need work to correct the problem.
Nice hotel in a Wonderful location. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Roof top views were just beautiful. A/C worked and plenty of hot water. Elevator in building if you can’t do stairs. WiFi worked amazingly.
Excellent location, near all the main tourist attractions, few minutes of walking distance to Aya Sofia, Blue Mosque and other historicsl sites. The service was also excellent, always ready to help you with finding parking for your car, or assisting with other issues.The included breakfast was exceptional, served at the terace restaurant of the hotel, with to order options for eggs and french fries, accompanied by a variety of cheeses.
The hotel is in a fantastic part of Istanbul - very close to all of the main attractions.
We had the apartment which was huge with very comfortable beds. The staff were lovely and very friendly.
We did find that the apartment wasn’t well ventilated though and a bit smelly.
Otherwise, perfect for a quick getaway in great location.
