Vavien Hotel

I enjoyed my time in the Vavien hotel. Hotel staff: Vavien hotel staff was very helpful and customer oriented. Location: 2 minutes of walking to food shops, restaurants, sea and Ataturk bridge with metro train. Galata bridge, Galata Tower, Egyptian bazaar, famous Istiklal street and ferry boat stations are 5-10 minutes of walking distance from the hotel. Vavien hotel is located in the district where a lot of shops sell construction, bathroom and plumbing materials. So, don’t be shocked to see them during the day. It is very quiet around the hotel during night time. Room: My room was very comfortable and warm, considering cold weather outside. My room had clean and comfortable single bed, towels, TV, fridge, safe, electric kettle, cup with tea spoon, tiny table with chair, mirror and cloth hangers. Bedside table was comfortable to put drinks or food during watching movies. Bathroom with toilet and hot/cold shower and sink was divided by glass wall. Complimentary tea, sugar and water were provided on a daily basis. Room cleaning was offered every day. But I didn’t need daily cleaning. Wi-Fi worked very well in my room. Overall, I found Vavien hotel very comfortable for short and long stay. I would be happy to come back here again.

I liked it, basic but clean rooms easy walking distance to Galata Tower and close to Halic metro stop. The streets are not the nice touristy part of beyoglu but quite industrial but still seemed safe at night. The guys at reception are all very friendly and helpful. Good value accom, I would recommend.

I went to this hotel a couple of months ago. First of all let me be fair to say that the front desk receptionists were all very helpful and kind, they knew how to speak English fairly well and they assisted in the best way they could. Unfortunately I lost a very expensive and valuable necklace in the room and I never found it again. I asked them to help me but they did not give me any answers so I do not recommend leaving any valuables at the rooms. The first night we arrived we got a room on the third floor, once I pulled the covers off the bed there were a lot of small insects and bugs and I am not sure if they were bed bugs or not! so I asked if they could change our room and they did without hesitation. We got a better room after that. All in all, we were not satisfied and I don't think I will ever go back again, but if your looking for a budget low quality hotel to stay for a couple of nights or even more, you could keep this place in mind. You get what you pay for!!! And as for the location, it was perfect! just a couple of minutes by foot to the most beautiful beach and very close to the metro and Istiklal street and great cafe's and restaurants. If I were to rate the location here I would give it a 10/10!
