Ulasan Shining Star Hotel

The room was spacious and very comfortable, and the door was connecting. The hotel was clean and close to the mosque. Good service!

Excellent hotel, breakfasts are good. The only downside is that it's located on a hill, but otherwise everything is great.

Good location, walking distance to all major attractions, good places to eat, quite and peaceful, great scene from the balcony , breakfast could have been a bit better , not many choices for us brits,

This is a very good hotel. We booked an upgraded double room. Pros: It's a 5-minute walk from Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, the Basilica Cistern, and Topkapi Palace. The hotel is very clean, with daily housekeeping. Towels, water, and other consumables were replenished every day. The internet was good, and the soundproofing was excellent. The staff were polite and helpful. Cons: The breakfast was exactly the same all four days we were there, though it was quite tasty. If you're visiting in winter, the room can be very cold. We used the air conditioning for heating and turned it off at night, which was generally fine. Overall, the hotel left a very good impression and a pleasant aftertaste. Thank you!

It was good. But don’t do the laundry there. It’s too expensive. Around the corner there is a laundry shop. Don’t pay more than 600 lira for a whole wash. Location was very good. Breakfast was mediocre.

The room and amenities feel new and comfortable. The staff are friendly, and the location is excellent — just a short walk to the tram station, Hagia Sophia, Grand Bazaar, and other main attractions. However, the toilet is quite small for a room meant for 5 people, and the biggest downside was the lack of soundproofing. We could clearly hear noises from the adjacent or upper rooms, which was frustrating

Excellent hotel! 👍 We had to check in at 2 AM due to a significant flight delay. The 24-hour front desk was a lifesaver. The room was clean and had everything, right down to complimentary water. The staff was pleasant. Breakfast was decent.

We booked the family suite recently.  Although the staff were really nice and helpful the family suite let us down considerably.  Although the main bedroom and living area was good, unfortunately the 2nd bedroom was small and there was only 1 toilet which could only be accessed through the 2nd bedroom - it meant the children were woken up all the time Also there is a ridiculous glass door in between the living area and 2nd bedroom which people keep walking into. Not he best designed suite for families at all So although I would recommend the hotel, I wouldn’t recommend booking the family suite

Great location, clean and nice rooms, good breakfast with large variety of choices

Location is great and all staff very helpful

Great place to stay for holiday

I recently stayed at The Shining Star Hotel and was thoroughly disappointed. The hotel is situated in a hard-to-find, dingy backstreet. One of my main concerns was the centralized air conditioning system. Despite the room feeling overly warm, the reception informed me that they had set it to warm air due to outside temperatures, leaving me with no control over the room's comfort level. The bathroom design is another major drawback; there's no partition which results in a completely wet and slippery floor post-shower. I would not recommend this hotel.

We stayed in two rooms, as the photos show. The rooms were very cozy and clean, with plenty of space. The breakfast was delicious, with plenty of choice.

Excellent hotel for the price!!! Great location, 3-5 minutes to all the sights: Hagia Sophia, Basilica, Blue Mosque, Topkany Palace, Sulemaniye Mosque, Grand Bazaar. The rooms are clean. Breakfast is good. The hotel, built on the ruins of the old city, is very interestingly designed. I recommend it!
