"Iit's all about the staff!" Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009

Once again we stayed at Mina. Their staff is wonderful and for any first time (or more) traveler to Istanbul it is a good base, both from a central location as well as their helpful staff. They go above and beyond to help and give concrete suggestions for eateries and activities. A member of our party left his suitcase in the lobby when we departed for Sirince and Serkant, the front desk manager, took care of having it promptly sent to us. The Mina staff truly care about helping travelers and it is evident with every one of them. The rooms are nothing fancy but are quit adequate and comfy. I would stay there again.
Lo que destacaría del hotel es la terraza, con una vista preciosa a las mezquitas, sobre todo por la noche o al atardecer, y la amabilidad de sus empleados.
El único inconveniente podría ser que las habitaciones eran un poco pequeñas, pero vamos, suficiente si estás sólo para dormir y poco más...
El emplazamiento tambien es muy bueno, puedes ir andando a los lugares mas representativos de la zona antigua, mezquitas, cisterna, bazar,..
hotel in very good location. Everything was according to the description. Strange room layout with a big pillar (600x600) in the middle of the room...(according to one of the photo)
Excellent place, excellent breakfast. Real turkish hospitality for correct prices! The hotel is very very close by all attractions. I commend this hotel for everybody!
We had a lovely weekend at the Mina Hotel. Staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating both in person and on email. Would definitely stay here again.
