Kybele Hotel in Istanbul
Description
Foood has no flavouw at all!!! This is no turkish food. Champignons has no flavour at allllll soooo freaking dirty. Dont go to here!!
MoreI only visited the restaurant. The food prices are expensive and the food tasted awful. I ordered the Bolognese and it had no meat in it just vegetables. Would not recommend anyone to come here.
MoreNice view, different kind of design, the food is not so great but the atmosphere is cozy
MoreFood is amazing and the service as well, prices are convenient and the guys there are so helpful and polite.
MoreI only visit the restaurant, I got breakfast and lunch, it was fine, but not special. The food taste is very normal and you dont feel the flavor of Turkish food.Service is very good and friendly staff.The location is nice and you feel comfortable.Also, the menu in English, Russian, and Arabic.
MoreAn amazing place to eat out !My girlfriend and I ate there for dinner and had a great time. Waiters are very nice, food is very good and prices are fairly good with a total of 940TL (about 51€for two people.Overal I would totally recommend !
MoreSuperb location and tastefully decorated restaurant. Food was good but not better than many places further into the city. You are paying a lot (40-50% more )for the location.
MoreThe food was not very good and too expensive. We felt like we were overcharged.
Prices are too high. The food is not tasty. We ordered a pide, which was brought almost cold. On weekends, the tables outside are busy. But inside there is an interesting interior. But if you are looking for delicious food, then this is not the place for you.
Morewe paid the bill and didnt get the change back because the waiter thinks its okay to keep the rest of the money, when we asked for it back they were very unfriendly and the prices are higher than in other places. restaurants
MoreWe were just having tea and coffee at the restaurant. But the place is great, cosy and comfortable. Servis is great, waiters are very friendly. We had a really nice relaxing time.
MoreI was outside in the cafe..very nice staff and good place to have something to eat and chill..🤩
MoreExtremely nice staff , the stay was comfortable.
We just join for food and drinks but it was amazing. Service super, view great but see yourself...
MoreAmazing place, very convenient location and the food was lovely
The restaurant is in the street in front of the hotel. I didn’t see any colored houses in the surrounding as expected the food was good specially chicken shish but the macaroni didnt have any salt which unfortunately made it tasteless but the owner didn’t charge me for it which was a nice gesture. I will give it another chance next time I visit.
MoreFunky hip older hotel. Nice staff, good restaurant.
Just went here for coffe and baklava. Good taste, touristic (highprice...
We stayed a week around 2003 or so, best decision ever. Perfectly meets the Turkish atmosphere. Hire a fantastic tour from there of 14 days thru Turkey. Staff amazing too and helpful in recommending sites in istanbul. Our daughter is booking for later this year
MoreA hidden restaurant, like coming from a fairytale! Very beautiful environment, very friendly, polite & professional staff! We tasted 5 dishes, they were all delicious!!
MoreWe found it by luck 20 years ago. We keep going back. Its one of a kind. Wonderful staff. Great street eating in the heart of Istanbul. Hope to get back again soon
MoreAmazing hotel. Best setting ever and humble and honest people. Also with family a great stay <3
MoreGreat little hotel. Rooms are comfortable and staff is very friendly. Perhaps the rooms need a little maintenance.The restaurant is very good serving traditional Turkish food at very reasonable prices. Even if you are not staying at this hotel, it is worth the visit to have lunch or enjoy dinner.
MoreThey are in the most beautiful places of Istanbul.It was nice place and they have amazing delicious restaurant.Thank you very much to all the staff.I would definitely recommend.
MoreWe went there with my boyfriend to eat, it is delicious and affordable. People are also really nice. I recommend! Thanks
MoreWe had a 3 nights stay in Kybele hotel. The atmosphere is amazing, really authentic, you can feel the real Istanbul atmosphere. The restaurant is great as well, the food is tasty and the people working there are really friendly. The location is 10/10, you can’t wish for better, all the sights are 2-3 mins walking distance and there is a tram station near. Thanks for the good stay! :)
MoreI made a reservation at this hotel for July 2019 but could not travel due to the pandemic. My reservation, made before the pandemic, was non-refundable. Even during the worst health crisis of our times the Kybele hotel did not review its policies. They simply said they couldnt do anything and that they would keep my money. Turkey is closed for Brazilian tourists so even if I wish I could not enter the country. I understand the travel sector is going through a crisis but use a global pandemic that no one could anticipate to take advantage of travelers is not the answer to it. I really feel like it was a trap. If the owners are just interested in money and not in providing a memorable experience for tourists they are in the wrong sector.
MoreWe came to Kubele to have a breakfast and it was very nice and delicious. We got a big plate of different mezes and pastry, plus the dessert, and it was just good enough for 3 adults and 1 kid. The restaurant itself looks really nice and colorful, so plus one more thing for the good time spending.
MoreDid not stay here but I liked the restaurant, the food was nice and the deco/environment it’s just perfect for a sunny day lunch in istambul
MoreWonderful Boutique Hotel, in an incredible location, with great restaurant to boot and friendly staff. We stayed in one of the rooms with a balcony, which was particularly good - The 1500 year old Haiga Sofia is practically in your face and aside from the call to prayer, the street is pretty quiet (no carsdespite one end of the Hippodrome being at the end of it. You couldn’t be in a better place to explore from. If you want a sterile white space though, this is not for you, it has a fascinating arty feel where a multitude of colour and lights abound. A few of the room fittings are a little tired, but everything was cleaned every day and staff very helpful and the atmosphere is wonderful as opposed to any ‘standard’ hotel where you could just be anywhere. There is also a lovely reading room where we also had a romantic dinner they helped me arrange, and quieter space to eat on a sheltered terrace. Food classic Turkish and delicious.
MoreNice outdoor seating. Friendly and English-speaking service. The coffee was excellent and the fresh orange juice was refreshing, especially thanks to the ice I asked on the side and the waiter brought as requested. The desserts looked good, I didn’t try any but my friends looked happy. Would love to stop for coffee again when in the area!
MoreWhat a wonderful experience! The staff is attentive and friendly. The place is uniquely gorgeous and colorful, inside and out. The location is unbeatable. Ill be back here for sure.
MoreReally good service and delicious food . The place is full of interesting collectables.
MoreGreat place to have a kebap and Turkish coffee. Might be abit touristy for some
Check out the lamps in this hotel!First meal when landed in Istanbul and food was great and authentic.Love the apple tea here too very unique which I can’t seem to find similar ones in Grand/Spice Bazaar.Short walk to Hagia Sophia :)
MoreA nice, little place just off a very busy tourist area
Amazing service! The waiters are so helpful and kind! The food is delicious as well! And indoors must be visited to enjoy the authenticity!
MoreNice hotel with friendly staff, the location is extremely central to the main sights. Brought down by its surrounding area which is a complete tourist trap, very hard to walk down the street without having someone insist you pay them attention.
MoreWe have come to this restaurant twice in a row! Great food lovely fresh bread to go with your Meze and nice Turkish wines. Would recommend !
MoreVery colorful and beautiful hotel though not good for long stay.
