Uyan Hotel

The hotel is in a great location!!! walking distance from everything! the outside looks great however, the rooms are small and a poorly lit, this hotel is great and i had no problems but it is in NO way worth the money they charge, nor in my opinion is it a 4 star as some websites claim. Look around and see if you can find a cheaper one, the photos on the website are very generous and possibly enhanced a little....the roof terrace is the main good point of the hotel.....and breakfast for a 4 star hotel is below average, a mixture of cold... more

Hotel Uyan isnt what id call a 'destination' hotel but it is in a great location a couple of hundred metres from the blue mosque and similar to Hagia Sophia. Being close to the 4 seasons hotel it makes it very easy to get back to via cab as not many of the cab drivers speak english out there so that was actually a huge bonus. Also being away from Istiklal street made it a very quiet area to be in which i much preferred to the hustle and bustle of Istiklal street where 11pm prob has more people wandering about then 11am - esp with... more

My sister and parents were recently over from England for a wedding in Istanbul at the nearby (and excellent) Four Seasons. Meanwhile my partner and I travelled from Ankara to Istanbul, having made plans to stay in the same hotel as them -- Uyan -- for part of their visit. However upon our visiting reception to make sure that all was well and leave some small gifts in their rooms, we discovered that the hotel manager had cancelled our room (though thankfully not theirs). This was despite a very clear email correspondence... more

This hotel was recommended by a colleague who stayed there. I wrote to the hotel for reservation and confirmed prior to leaving for the trip. We arrived ahead of check-in time and only needed to wait a short while before a room was made ready for us. Being picked up by a (the) hotel manager at the airport was a nice gesture, although in the end it cost us 20 Euros for the return trip (we could have taken a shuttle but I thought that would be bad form as the front desk recommended the hotel van). The hotel is quaint. Everything is... more

This hotel overbooked and then suggested that we share rooms! When this was declined the management become aggressive. Result was a change of hotel, to one with a better management attitude! I cannot recommend this hotel. Aggression from management is never acceptable from any business in the service industry!

Having recently got married in Istanbul Uyan hotel was one of the few that I recommended our guest arriving from the UK to stay in. From the moment we arrived the problems started, with one of our guests being put into a shoe boxed size single room instead of the twin room he had reserved, much to the discomfort of the other person who he was sharing with (who had to sleep on a camp bed). At first we thought it was just a simple mistake, and we didn't make a fuss. These things happen... The next day more guests arrived with another... more

We (self and wife) just stayed here for a week over Easter 2007. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. Our room had a great view of the Blue Mosque and a balcony overlooking the street (and Blue Mosque), yet although the hotel is just a few minutes' walk from many of the main attractions, it is in a very quiet and peaceful area. The staff are helpful, and if their English wasn't up to answering my questions they immediately called someone who could help. We visited the Seven Hills next door (owned by the chap who also owns the... more

I have just returned from a short break to Istanbul and was delighted with the hotel we chose. Hotel Uyan is situated in the old historical district of Istanbul (Sultanahmet) ,very close to the Blue Mosque and Haghia Sophia. The name means 'Wake Up' probably because of the calls of the Iman at dawn! It is located in a quiet street with several bars and restaurants nearby. I can recommend the fish restaurant next door with its conservatory like dining room on the roof top with its spectacular views of the 2 Mosques lit up at night. Another... more

The hotel rooms etc. are exactly as they appear on the hotel web site. You get exactly what you see, and this is good. The hotel is very central, right in the tourist area and so is noisy early in the morning during "call to prayer" - two mosques very close by - this however will be the case with all hotels in this area. I would thoroughly recommend this hotel, cant think of any downside.

We have just returned from a weekend at Uyan Hotel in Istnbul. Istanbul is a magic place to go around see freely. The hotel is adjacent to the historical places, and has a wonderful view to Aya Sofia and Blue mosque (you can see the photo attached). The deluxe rooms are ok, big, confortable and with old charm. Maybe the normal rooms aren't too big. I would say this is a very good hotel that I'd like to advis you.
