Central to attractions with comfort
We heartily enjoyed our stay at the Henna Hotel Istanbul. It is a charming boutique Hotel in close approximation to many of the sights (Hagia Sofia, Basilica Cistern etc.) The staff are mostly warm and friendly - seek out Ali for expert Istanbul tips. The rooftop restaurant has an amazing view and the Turkish breakfast is not to be missed.

Friendly and Host oriented
Henna is very well loacted - centrally to visit Agia sofia, the Blue Mosque and the Esplanade and everything in Istanbul the tram is very close. The team is very attentive to details and helps with so much they booked a electric wheelchair for my Mom, when I could not make mine work.
This iss the 3rd time I come there and I am always amazed by their amability and detailed attention for each host.

Wonderful stay in Istanbul
The hotel manager exhibits hospitality in the truest sense. She goes above and beyond in ensuring that your stay is a great one. The breakfast itself is worth the price of the stay, with a breathtaking view and incredible variety and quality (and this million-dollar view is available to guests anytime). The location is also convenient to major attractions as well as restaurants, and the rooms are clean and comfortable. I would recommend to anyone visiting the area.

The Henna Hotel was just perfect for exploring the old town if Istanbul. We walked and or used the light rail to get to everything. Staff were incredible and so helpful with recommendations. The breakfast on their rooftop deck was delightful. We would highly recommend.

Henna Hotel in Istanbul... the best
Absolutely excellent stay, this is our 2nd time here and well worth the trip from the airport. The staff are attentive and you feel that personal touch the moment you enter the door. Breakfast is amazing, tv is huge, overall extremely happy with our choice in Istanbul. Also very well placed for the blue mosque, hagia sofia and palace, all 10 mibutes walk away

Great stay!
We enjoyed our stay at the Henna Hotel. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and in a great location. The breakfast on the rooftop deck was wonderful. The staff was great; Ali, the general manager, was especially friendly and helpful.
I might note that our room overlooking the busy street was a bit noisy quite late into the night. We didn’t mind it … made us feel connected to the hustle and bustle of Istanbul. If that’s not your thing, you may want to request a room farther back from the street.
