The host was great, helped us with a lot of useful information about various "Istanbul" topics. Location is across the street from Topkapi palace and near all mayor attractions and transportations 😁

Olga 10.0

We had a lovely stay at Seaway hotel. It is centrally located, close to main attractions and the metro. Engi was so helpful with getting us there via public transport, making recommendations and just generally being a super person. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Very good value for money!

Ansar 10.0

Very Budget Friendly and amazing hotel. Engin was a very nice host and helped guide us about Istanbul, as it was our first time there. Good-sized room and clean bathroom. Everything you can expect for the trip. It's just 6 6-minute walk away from the Topkapi Palace and Hagia Sophia, and very close to public transport. Absolute worth it for the money.

Napita96 9.0

The hotel is very well located, just 10 minutes from Topkapi Palace, the Blue Mosque, and other attractions, and close to the seafront for walking. The room was clean and spacious for two people. I had a small issue with my reservation, but it was solved quickly and the staff were very attentive.

Denis 10.0

Very good price/quality ratio, friendly and professional staff. Almost no noise from inside and outside, including prayer calls. Central location, 10 minutes to the T1 tram and 3 minutes to the U3 line, to Eminönü on foot - 25 minutes.

Nikolett 9.0

The location is perfect, only a few minutes walk from Hagia Sophia and from the seaside as well. The apartment is easy to find, clean, and the staff is really helpful. They help you with tips, recommendations, water and coffee supply. I highly recommend the place if you are visiting Istanbul. Flexible check in and check out which is a good fit for the flight schedules.

Mostefa 10.0

I really enjoyed my stay at Seaway Hotel. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the staff are very kind and helpful. Breakfast is not included, but it’s nice that they offer free coffee, tea, and water anytime. Including breakfast would make the experience even better.

Sandy 9.0

I loved the owner. Felt super safe and comfortable as a female solo traveller. The owner took care of me super well, gave me great suggestions, organised transport to the airport, and tours if I wanted. Would Hope to stay here again!

Dmytro 10.0

I recently stayed at this apartment and was very pleased. Everything is new, clean and fresh. It is obvious that the apartment is well maintained. The hostess is a miracle! She is very attentive to guests and prepared detailed lists of places to visit in Halkidiki, with QR codes and links. It was so convenient! The apartment had absolutely everything you need - from dishes and spices in the kitchen to washing powder and soap in the bathroom. I felt at home, and if I come to Halkidiki again, I will definitely stay here! It was also very pleasant to receive a personal gift from the apartment owner!
