Yellow Bull Istanbul hotel

Fatih, Istanbul

Offering garden views, Yellow Bull Istanbul hotel is an accommodation located in Istanbul, 1.6 km from Blue Mosque and 1.7 km from Basilica Cistern.

We stayed at Yellow Bull Istanbul Hotel and had a great experience. The staff were very kind and helped us arrange transfers to and from the airport for €40 each way. They were helpful throughout our stay, which made things much easier. The room was clean, the AC worked very well, the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was fine—though a bit small. Other than that, everything met or exceeded expectations. The location is also excellent: you’re close to the main mosques, and the surrounding restaurants come to life in the evenings, which adds to the experience. For the price, this hotel is definitely worth it. I would highly recommend it if you are visiting Istanbul.

Everything! The location was great, staff was kind, and the breakfast was heavenly! There were a lot of options to choose from (salads, eggs, cookies, fresh and dried fruits, bread, jam, honey, cereals, coffee, tea,...) and the view from the terrace was incredible! We even spotted some dolphins once...

The location is superb, offering a stunning view over the lagoon and the city of Istanbul from the terrace. We were warmly welcomed by a very kind host, who made both the reserved room and a fully equipped kitchenette available to us, adding greatly to the comfort of our stay. The entire place is tastefully decorated and located in a highly touristic and charming area. In just 8 nights,me and my mom had the chance to feel like locals, which made the experience even more special. There is also an elegant “antique-style” café on the ground floor that truly adds to the unique character of the property, a delightful bonus! We wholeheartedly recommend this accommodation, you will not regret a single moment spent here.

The place is very clean and cozy, the location is close to the main attractions, but the neighborhood is quiet, so you can get a good sleep. The relationship between the cost and the benefits is very good. Parking was easy, we will definitely come again.
