About

Elanaz Hotel

Elanaz Hotel sits in Sirkeci, a tourist area of Istanbul's historic peninsula, a 9-minute walk from the Sultanahmet District. The 3-star property offers rooms with modern bathrooms, some with balconies overlooking the Bosphorus. Wi-Fi is free throughout, and guests can arrange car hire, tours, and airport shuttles at the reception.

The hotel keeps things simple but comfortable: soundproofed rooms, air conditioning, a snack bar and lounge area, plus laundry and dry cleaning services. The front desk runs around the clock, and key card access adds a layer of security. Families can request cots and a pushchair, and the hotel's location makes it easy to explore the Old City on foot or by tram.

Worth weighing

  • Small breakfast area — While the breakfast itself earns praise, a guest noted the dining space is a bit small, which could feel tight at peak times.

“Everything worked well during my stay. The location was spot on for the Old Town sights, but the street was quiet and felt safe. The staff were warm and gave useful directions, the room was fresh with a modern bathroom and a balcony facing the Bosphorus. Breakfast stood out too, especially the handmade cookies.”

“My wife and I were impressed by the level of service — better than any hotel we'd tried before. It's a recently built boutique place with the comforts of a higher-category property: good bed, quiet room, nice décor, generous breakfast. The owner and staff greeted us every time we came back from exploring, and went out of their way for small requests, like opening the bar just for me. We'll only stay at Elanaz when we're in Istanbul.”

“Great pick. We chose it because it was new, and we weren't disappointed. The location is ideal for the Old City — a 15–20 minute stroll to Topkapi, Blue Mosque, Aya Sofia, Grand Bazaar, even Galata Tower, and we walked to Taksim too. The room's Bosphorus view was superb, and the team was professional, helpful, and genuinely kind. Breakfast was laid out nicely, though the dining area is a bit snug. A big thanks to Didem, Erdem, Kubra, Petra, Noor, and the door and bar staff — they made our holiday memorable.”

“The hotel is super close to everything — public transport and shops are just steps away, and the Bosphorus is a short walk. Facilities were clean and well-kept, and the staff were fantastic, always ready to help. Breakfast was delicious and varied.”

The bottom line

For travellers who value a calm, well-located base with genuinely attentive staff, Elanaz Hotel delivers. The rooms are modern and comfortable, and the Bosphorus views from some balconies are a bonus. The main compromises are a snug breakfast area and modest on-site facilities, but the service and location more than compensate.
