Hotel Levni & Spa - Special Class

Staff was friendly and very helpful

Very great hotel with great staff and very hospitable. Highly recommend recommended.

This property is located in a central spot. Front desk staff were wonderful. A very special thanks to the gentleman who cleans our room every day. He will write a hand written note, wish us a wonderful stay. Only wired thing is, wash basin was in the bed room.

The Levni is an excellent spot for tourists visiting Istanbul and wanting to be close to the old city and all that it has to offer. Great location to walk everywhere - great for getting your steps every day. The hotel is clean and well maintained and the staff are very helpful. The breakfast buffet has very good food options and is a great way to start the day. The rooftop bar had great views but drinks are pricey (seems to be everywhere in Istanbul) and they don’t have beer on tap as noted on the menu. Standard room sizes are small but again I think this is generally in Istanbul. There are stairs to get to the rooms from the elevators on almost every floor so again be prepared for that or ask for an accessible floor. If you get a room with a bathtub (most are) be prepared to climb into it. Not great for older people. Biggest disappointment - we picked this hotel partly for the pool but it was kept at a freezing cold temp. When we mentioned this to the staff they said it had to be like that to ensure no bacteria in the pool - this seemed like an odd response. They also asked for everyone to have a swimming cap and wanted to sell that to us for €5 each. We ultimately got the shower caps from the room and used them (did all this before realizing how cold the pool was! :)). When we asked to warm up in the sauna they said it would be €12 for each person. We had a few young adults (17-22) that were quite looking forward to the pool but this experience was not great.
