Location
Situated 25 minutes' walk from Sirkeci train station, Efzen Hotel Istanbul features views of the city. This hotel also offers Wi-Fi in public areas.
Such city attractions as the Basilica Cistern, which is just 1 km from the smoke-free hotel, and the Church of the Monastery of Christ Pantokrator, which is 2.5 km away, are well worth a visit. As a plus for business travellers, the 85m-tall Beyazit Tower is 20 minutes' walk away. Located 2.1 km from the Ottoman imperial Pertevniyal Valide Sultan Mosque, the Efzen puts the city at your fingertips. Catladikapi bus stop lies about 500 metres away.
The rooms include an iron and climate control, along with such modern comforts as a flat-screen TV with satellite channels and a radio. They feature bathrooms with a separate toilet and a shower as well as hairdryers and bath sheets.
Located in close proximity to Efzen Hotel, the restaurant Doy Doy Restaurant offers a Mediterranean menu.
Review by hotel critic
If you're looking for a cozy spot just minutes from Istanbul's historic gems like the Blue Mosque and the Spice Bazaar, Efzen Hotel hits the mark. I recently stayed there with a couple of friends, and despite its somewhat unassuming entrance, the warmth of the staff quickly made us feel at home-big props to the team for being ever so helpful! The rooms are compact but well-equipped, with some featuring lovely balconies and great sea views that inspire thoughts of wild African landscapes. Although housekeeping didn't change our bedding over four days, they kept everything tidy, and the provision of clean towels and basic toiletries was a nice touch. What truly stood out for me was the fantastic location-after a day of exploring, we could easily find supplies at nearby grocery stores or enjoy a leisurely meal at local cafés.
