Expert review of Hotel Şebnem
Immensely charming small hotel on a cute, quiet cul-de-sac.
The friendly, family-run guesthouse inside this unassuming little red building is modest but I found it very charming, from its vine-covered exterior to its cosy terrace, and including its small, but well-kept rooms.
Location:
The Şebnem is blissfully set apart on a quiet cul-de-sac leading off from one of the main tourist hubs in Sultanahmet, with all the sights still close at hand.
Bedrooms:
The 15 rooms are small, but clean and tastefully appointed, with wooden floors and furniture and crisp white bedding. I particularly like the lively Central Asian tapestries used as canopies over some of the beds. The downstairs rooms can be a bit dark but open up onto a lovely and lush little garden with intricate tile work and a small fountain.

Public areas:
The cosy, but colourful reception area offers a nice library of books for guests to browse, as well as a computer nook.
Eating and drinking:
The excellent breakfast buffet is served on the hotel’s indoor/outdoor terrace, which has a fairly pedestrian view of the Marmara Sea but tons of atmosphere to make up for it. With its comfy seats and many plants, I found it one of the most appealing terraces in the area. Later in the day, the area turns into a café for sipping drinks and puffing on nargile (water pipes).
Service:
The warm and welcoming staff provide lots of good tips to travellers.
