The 29-room Nena Hotel is a mid-range
property in an excellent location that's within walking distance of several of the city’s
historic sites, including the Blue Mosque and Grand Bazaar. Clean, charming rooms are tastefully appointed and feature amenities like minibars, coffee/tea facilities, and free Wi-Fi, but Standard Rooms are a little
tight on space and have small showers. Guests also complain of noise issues due to thin walls. A
free Turkish breakfast buffet is served in the rooftop restaurant which offers lovely sea views and serves lunch and dinner as well. There's also a lobby bar with a cozy lounge area that opens out onto a sunlit atrium space full of greenery and seating. Travelers who don't mind being a bit removed from the touristy area should also consider the Karakoy Port Hotel, a mid-range property with pretty rooms and a friendly staff.

Scene
Charming mid-range hotel with Ottoman-inspired decor
Nena Hotel is situated in a colorful building with white window
frames popping against a red facade and decorative touches that include gold
columns and wrought-iron balcony rails. Inside, the lobby has an opulent, though dated, feel with
heavy carved wooden stair rails and green marble floors. Ottoman-inspired carved
decorations and colorful rugs add Old World appeal to the space. There's also a small lobby bar that opens out onto a lovely atrium filled with lush potted plants and glass bistro tables flanked by wrought iron chairs. Chess boards are set up throughout the space and couches are available for lounging. The rooftop restaurant has a traditional, if bland, feel with crimson carpeting and crisp white tablecloths, and it also includes a lovely outdoor terrace with amazing views of the Blue
Mosque.
