Seres Hotel - Istanbul, Turkey 

"Excellent!"
Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009
My friend and I stayed at the Seres Hotel in Istanbul in January 2006. It was a wonderful experience and a really comforting place to return to at night, escaping Istanbuls hectic atmosphere. We had a twin bedroom, very clean, not very spacy but is that necessary when you should only sleep there? The bath room had everthing we needed and was kept clean every day. Staff was always friendly and ready to help. Breakfast included fruit, cornflakes, bread, pastries, yoghurt, cheeses en salamis, olives, juices...Everything you need to get you going and always fresh. There was airco that kept our room nice and warm. The receptionist of the hotel made overtime by driving us to the airport for more than a good price. I would recommend this hotel without a doubt. Congratulations to the Seres staff!

We are quite pleased at the quality of service the Hotel Seres provided us. The price is fair. The breakfast provided (included)is quite a variety and conforms to anyone's diet. The rooms (not the suites) are a bit tiny. Airconditining not working very well.

The location is superb, because you can walk everywhere, have a meal, take a stroll. Our room was much more basic than the ones on the websites. The hotel should include a picture of the standard room too, to avoid deception (the only one we had!) on arrival, apart from that everything was really o.k. and perfect. I would certainly recommend this hotel to everyone. Fun are the albatrosses begging for food just next to the breakfastwindows, like dogs would. Quite an extra show for animallovers such as we are. The staff is very friendly and professional.

While traveling with my daughter-in-law and grandson to Istanbul, we stayed at the Seres Hotel and found it be decent. Our room was small and cramped on the 2nd floor on the street side, the a/c didn't work during the day and our minibar refrigerator was warm. The elevators were both down for 1 full day and one of them was down for 3 days. There were much nicer and bigger rooms, but we were told the room we booked through Venere was what we got. The restaurant staff spoke very little English, resulting in several mix ups with our food orders. The food was decent, but not great. The hotel is in a good location, within walking distance of all attractions in the Sultanahmet area and the Bosphorus. We felt very safe in the area and were treated very well. Istanbul is a beautiful and friendly city and we will definitely return someday.
