Modena Hotel

Overall good

I had a very good experience at Modena Hotel. The staff are friendly, respectful, and always ready to help. The location is excellent and very convenient, with easy access to transportation, restaurants, and shopping areas. The room was comfortable and the service was good. I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Istanbul.

Staff was very nice and helpful.

My stay at Modena Hotel in Istanbul was absolutely excellent. It offered a very affordable price and incredible value for money. The facilities were excellent, and the location was fantastic, as it’s right behind the Sultanahmet Mosque, close to the Bosphorus, and near various transportation options like the tram and metro. The staff were incredibly friendly, especially the owner, Fathi, who was always responsive and supportive whenever I needed anything. This left a really great impression on me. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for an affordable, private, and well-located place to stay. And that’s it!

The location is excellent and the price is very reasonable considering how central the hotel is. We had a great experience with the staff, especially Mehmet and Fatih, who were very attentive and friendly! Breakfast was tasty, my only suggestion would be to offer more variety. Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay :)

I was in Istanbul for 5 days for work. So, I had no reason to spend a lot of money on accommodation. I chose Modena Hotel because of the price and location. But OH MY GOD, it was the best decision! It’s not a luxurious or fancy hotel (at this price range, what do you expect?), but it’s clean and you get everything you need (clean towels, very good Wi-Fi, comfortable beds). If you’re planning to visit Istanbul, you don’t need to spend a lot on accommodation if you’ll be out exploring all day. Of course, the location is great, you can visit many attractions just by walking. The restaurant is good (the food is delicious, the rooftop view is AMAZING, and they also have great shisha). All in all, everything was really good. BUT, there was one thing that made our trip unforgettable: the staff of the restaurant. They were incredibly friendly, very professional, extremely polite AND really funny. We had few long nights staying up late, smoking shisha and just talking with them. We laughed A LOT, even people from other tables in the restaurant joined us and we all had a great time. I hope they’re paid very well, because they truly deserve it. We’ll return to Modena Hotel every time we travel to Istanbul. I hope we’ll find the same energy there again.

Horrible experience, they are using mock pictures to lure the customers. When you arrive they drop the biggest surprise! Worst rooms (no windows) stay clahsthophobic! Everything!

Excellent location, just steps from the Blue Mosque and the Ayasofya Basilica. A hotel with delicious food and a magnificent terrace. A very pleasant team, especially Mr. Emre and Mr. Serdar, who were extremely kind and so helpful. The only problem was the taxi driver who was supposed to provide the shuttle from Sabiha Airport to the hotel. He was waiting for us 2 km from the airport and asked us to walk to him for 30 minutes with our luggage! This forced us to find another taxi.

Location is very good

The staff was great and they gave us discounts at their restaurant. The room was a decent size, but it could be a bit better. The location was also amazing, a 5 minute walk from Sultanahmet square. The room had a weird smell, neither bad nor good. The bathroom wasn't the most comfortable due to it's size, but it wasn't bad. The only problem is that it could have gotten cleaned better.

Very good

Nothing Our recent stay at Hotel Modena in Istanbul was nothing short of a nightmare, and it’s only right to warn others about this place. We arrived at 10 AM after a tiring five-hour drive and had pre-arranged an early check-in. To our surprise, we were told our rooms wouldn’t be ready until after 12. After wandering around to find lunch, we returned only to learn that, due to guests missing their flight, we had no available room. We were shocked and left in a desperate situation, as there were no other rooms to be found. In the end, we were told there was 1 room in Modena while our friends went to a neighboring hotel. The conditions at Modena were unacceptable. The room was so tiny that we could barely turn around, let alone open the door. The bed looked like a poorly constructed DIY project, made from old boards and a mattress that appeared to be from a dumpster. The headboard was unstable, with exposed screws, and behind the bed was a mess of broken wood and trash. The bathroom was another disaster. Although the shower seemed fine at first, an awful smell quickly developed, making it nearly impossible to breathe. We avoided using the bathroom entirely, fearing the smell would fill the room. Despite wanting to leave immediately, we had to endure one night in these conditions, feeling trapped after our long journey. The surrounding area was equally dismal; locals were rude and attempted to scam us at every turn. We also paid for parking outside, but were constantly asked to move our car for the restaurant’s outdoor seating, leaving us uneasy about its safety. This experience was beyond disappointing. I strongly urge Booking.com to remove this hotel from their listings to prevent others from suffering the same fate. Avoid Hotel Modena and this entire area—it was the worst part of our trip to Istanbul. Altogether I don’t think we would ever visit Istanbul again.
