Bed and Breakfast Hotel Vera (formerly Old City Luxx Boutique Hotel) 

13 Jan 2025

I stayed in the hotel with my kids. The location was great as it was just next to several significant historical sites. We loved walking around the Hagia Sofia and Blue Mosques, the old city, Basilisk Cisterns, etc. during different times of the day. The rooms were small but cozy and the beds were very comfortable. Breakfast choices were just right for us and the hotel staff topped it with delicious Turkish coffee. I am grateful to Faruk for arranging a smooth stay for us starting with communication before arrival and then ensuring comfortable airport pick-up and drop. Faruk accommodated to our changing needs and then offered an upgrade for the same price. He also consistently checked in with us to see if we needed anything and we felt very welcome.

Review of Hotel Vera in Istanbul I had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Vera during my trip to Istanbul, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and comfortable. They were incredibly friendly and always ready to assist with anything – whether it was recommending local attractions, helping me find the best places to eat, or giving tips on how to navigate the city. It felt like having a personal guide available at all times. The location of the hotel is absolutely perfect! It’s close to everything – whether you want to visit iconic landmarks like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, enjoy delicious local cuisine at nearby cafés, or shop in the bustling bazaars, everything is within walking distance. It’s ideal for travelers who want to make the most of their time without worrying about long commutes. What’s more, the hotel offers incredible value for money. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and equipped with everything you need, and the excellent service makes it feel like a luxury stay at a very affordable price. For solo travelers, this is a fantastic choice – it’s safe, cozy, and a great way to meet other travelers while still having your own peaceful space to relax. All in all, I can’t recommend Hotel Vera in Istanbul enough. It’s the perfect place for anyone looking for a central, comfortable, and budget-friendly base while exploring this amazing city. I’m already looking forward to coming back! Sincerely Elias J

Great location, just next to all most visited sites, but still in a side street so it is rather quiet Super friendly hosts and a very nice place. I had a good sleep during layover in Istanbul and enjoyed walking around, visited some sites despite arriving at 5pm, everything is just around the corner.

The location is the best attribute. Conveniently located near most of the main seesight in instanbul. The Breakfast was great and the staff were very pleasant. The room size, window and other points that we had read in other reviews were not accurate for us. The room is the right size, the windows can be left open (just ask the reception if you don't figure it out on your own), it was clean and the room was done daily.
