We had a very memorable stay in Istanbul and at the Kybele. Highly recommended.

Pros: The location of the hotel is really wonderful near to many of the well known sites such as Tokapi Palace, Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and the Basilica cistern. The family room and the dining room had a lot of character.

My choice in Istanbul Old Town

Pros: I always stay at this hotel when I visit Istanbul. Located in the center of the old town, it has very good access to many of Istanbul's tourist attractions. The staff are helpful.

Cons: The building is old, so it does not have an elevator. If you carry a heavy suitcase, you will need to use staircases, although the staff will definitely assist you.

I loved my stay at Kybele!

Pros: The location is excellent! We were close to all the main attractions and the T1 Tramline that takes you to the rest. The outside area is quaint and happy and even though we found the food there quite expensive, it was a great place to have breakfast or a night cap before going to bed.

Cons: The food is expensive and living on the third floor meant quite a walk upstairs every time, but that would not put me off from staying here again.

Would stay again!

Pros: The location is of course exceptional! A stone's throw from the major sights including two bazaars. The hotel decor is fascinating - thoughts going to 1001 Arabian Nights and whatnot. Quirky and a bit run down yes, but still - I liked it. It's not a five star hotel anyway. The manager was helpful and we needed his advice since it was the first time in this crowded and confusing city! His language skills are essential. The staff in the restaurant was very nice indeed! Our room was facing the back so the nights were pleasantly quiet! Should I go back to Istanbul I'd look no further than The Kybele!

Cons: Our room was small, no tiny. We could hardly open our luggage, and we had only a carry-on. But OK, I have stayed in rooms that size before. And the room had a small balcony which meant that we could keep that door wide open - which made the room seem bigger (and cooler). The booking confirmation said that our room had a view towards the garden. Well, it looked more like a garbage dump to me. I don't know much about Turkish food so I'm in no position to judge the breakfast. But please, get a toaster ...! And some healthy cereal and I'd be 100 % happy! I didn't leave the table hungry anyway and there was plenty of fruit!
