Loved the quirky nature of this small - 16 rooms - family run hotel. Easy walk to all the key sights in Istanbul. Friendly staff. Highly recommend if you are looking for something different to the stock standard offerings

Kybele hotel is perfectly located in Istanbul's city center. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Their restaurant is one of Istanbul's best. I would definitely stay here again!

It felt authentic with many antiques
David, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

A very good hotel in a great location to access all the main sights. Our first room had a few issues, eg, tv & kettle didn't work, however we were offered another room without any hassle. Breakfast ok, just not like an English one!! Would recommend but as it's a tourist area, drinking & eating out is expensive.

Best stay I’ve had in a hotel

Absolutely AMAZING from start to finish. It’s a unique gem of a place with incredible decor and super friendly and helpful staff. I had a solo room and it was perfect-nice size (is bigger than some of the photos seem), enough space to comfortably walk around the bed. Linens were clean and comfortable and the bed was as well. Instant hot water with good pressure. Breakfast buffet (included) was delicious and had good options of hot and cold. I would stay here any and every time I come.

What is there not to like about this lovely hotel, location and service? We loved it the moment we went in and kept feeling the same way all throughout our stay. Everything you need is at your doorstep and the service is amazing - you are well looked after and helped with whatever you need. Definitely will stay there on our next visits!

We had a pleasant stay at the Kybele. The customer service was great throughout and the property mgr was so kind and patient with our large group. Tom’s as advertised. Modest and clean. Decent breakfast and great location! Would stay here again.

A nice place to stay in the heart of the Old City

An interesting place to stay, unusually decorated; an excellent location, the room is a bit small and basic, but that's fine. The breakfast was minimal, but good overall; I liked the pea soup a lot.
Alexei, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A brilliant and affordable stay thats great value for those visiting the sultanahmet area. The staff were very accomodating and had great advice. I would also recommend the restaurant. Try the spinich pide and baklava. Thank you Annas for your hospitality!
