Hotel Santa Hill

Our stay at Santa Hill was great thanks to the kindness and the prompt response to our requests by the staff of the small hotel, starting from the manager, ending to the housekeeping personnel. It is nice starting the day with their warm smile. The rooms were kept clean on a daily basis, with the towels always fresh. O.k., the breakfast was somehow a repetition of the same pattern daily, but the small dining hall was pretty and the young man who served it was so polite always, during all the five days of our stay. The main street in front of the hotel is a busy one, but our friend who stayed in one of the front rooms did not complain for excessive noise. Istiklal Str. is just within 5 mins. reach. I would gladly stay there again.

Personal Hospitality, Cheerful and helpful staff , good location , clean new rooms

The Hotel Santa Hill is a charming hotel very close to Istiklal Ave. I would stay here again on a future trip to Istanbul.

Two caveats to Hotel Santa Hill: 1. It is on a very busy street but the triple-paned windows successfully blocked the traffic noise for me. 2. There is a mosque across the street so the early call to prayer was noticeably loud. I decided to take it as charming and exotic rather than an annoyance.

the hotel is spotlessly clean, the staff is very reponsive and the breakfasts, which were included in the cost was simple, but very good. The rooms are not lavish, but comfortable, and the showers had ample hot water and water pressure.

The internet connectivity was spotty.
