The Nena Hotel was excellent. The hotel is close to all of the major sites in the historic part of Istanbul. A SHORT walk to the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Basilica Cistern, and the Grand Bazaar. A slightly longer walk will take you to the shore to enjoy the sea and the restaurants that line the piers. The tram to Taksim Square - the trendy, hipster hot spot - is close to the hotel. The hotel is well decorated and comfortable. The room and the bathroom were very nice. The hotel staff was helpful and friendly. The breakfast was enjoyable.
On my first trip to Turkey, a friend and I decided to go to Istanbul a few days early and found the Hotel Nena website. We had a great time. The hotel offers airport pickup with a driver who is quite above the average taxi you might take from the airport. The rooms were very comfortable and the food served at the hotel was delicious. Many hotels in Istanbul offer poor breakfasts of Tang and tired food. (We had this at the group hotel.) The Hotel Nena offered fresh orange juice, strawberries, melon and other healthy and fresh food. The restaurant terrace is above the Blue Mosque, the hotel is convenient to the tram line, there is a lovely garden area to relax and the personnel at the hotel were helpful and friendly.

The hotel is ideally situated within a few minutes walking distance of attractions such as the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia and the Grand Bazaar. The staff are superb. We arrived two hours late at the airport but the vehicle was waiting to take us straight to the hotel. This characterised the attitude of the staff and management. They were all eager that we enjoyed our stay and were very helpful with advice and service. The rooms are quite small but very clean and comfortable. The breakfast buffet is excellent and there is a spectaclular view over the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia from the Terrace Restaurant. We will go to Istanbul again and we will stay at Hotel Nena.

My friends and I stayed here for a few days and had a wonderful experience. The best part about the hotel is the location. Everything you want to see in the Sultanahmet district is within a short walk from the door. The staff was incredibly helpful and made out stay even more enjoyable. The view from the top restaurant is exceptional. The included breakfast was quite the spread as well. I can't say enough good things about the Hotel Nena. On top of all of these great things, the price was a great value. I will definitely stay here on my next trip to Istanbul.

The Hotel Nena is a great hotel. The staff was very nice and helpful. The location of the hotel makes it close to a very nice market, restaurants, and other great sites. The marble floors in our room were very nice and we really enjoyed the room, because the hotel did a good job with the use of a small space. When I will return to Istanbul again, I will stay at the Hotel Nena and I will tell everyone that I know about this wonderful place.

The location is prime within Sultanahmet area (tram station is 1 minute walk). The blue mosque, hagia sofia, topkapi palace, basilica cistern are very close. The hotel is very comfortable, the staff is very friendly and professional. The rooms may seem small but we found them to be of decent size (compared to other hotels); the view from the rooftop resturant is superb. We contacted the hotel directly and got a great package for one week stay.

The Hotel Nena is the perfect place to stay in Istanbul. It is within a 2 minute walk from both St. Sophia's and the Blue Mosque. The view of the Blue Mosque from the Hotel Nena is superb. Ask to stay in room 401, which has a large balcony overlooking the sea and all the sights, including the Blue Mosque. The hotel staff was wonderful and helpful in every way. I will always stay at the Hotel Nena in the future.

We stayed in Nena hotel for 7 nights. The hotel was so nice, clean and well organized. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast room was amazing, nice view and excellent food. The location is the best, very close to the historical places of Istanbul, and just in front of the metro station. If I will visit Istanbul again, I will stay in Nena for sure.

My family and I stayed at the Hotel Nena in October 2008 and October 2009. On both occasions we found the hotel to be very comfortable, the staff very friendly and helpful. The hotel is literally a 5 minute walk from the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sophia. The view of the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and Sea of Marmara from the hotel restaurant is wonderful
