We loved staying at the Side Hotel during our visit to Istanbul! Its location was incredibly convenient to explore all the city has to offer. Their free rooftop breakfast was delicious, and we wound up eating it most of the days during our stay. Our biggest highlight though were the staff, who were very kind and went out of their way to welcome us to the city. We had an unexpected flight cancellation and they were very flexible and helpful as our plans changed. I would absolutely recommend to anyone hoping to visit Istanbul!

The staff here are so kind and the location is great because your near most major attractions and the T1 tram is a short walk away. I came in September and it was so hot outside but the AC in the room worked extremely well. In the morning you can have breakfast on the terrace and you can see the water. The walls are very thin so you can hear your neighbors. The wifi worked fine towards the evening when everyone gets back to the hotel it slowed down some but not terrible. I still was able to stream a movie. The noise was fine until my last night where my neighbor kept coming in and iut their room and would slam their door which sucked.
