Having seen the spectacular photos on the website, myself and my fiance were very excited at staying at this hotel. We arrived late in the evening 28/12/07 and were given room 206 which consisted of 2 small rooms, one containing the bed and the bathroom, the other was room contained a table, some chairs, the wardrope and the television. The set made us clostrophic, and also the bathroom fan was very noicy. We asked for another room that evening but unfotunately the hotel was full. The following day, the staff was very helpful in giving us a better room, room 203. Unfornately, room 203 had a small gap in the door such that part of the inside of the room could be seen from outside. It made us unconfortable so we stuck plastic bags over it and accepted it, we need not mention this to the staff of the hotel as our mission in Istanbul was not to find all the faults of the Spina Hotel but was to discover this amazing city. It really is an amazing city, i would strongly recommend Istanbul. With regards to the Spina Hotel, see the attached photos and you decide, but we certainly would not be staying there again.

The hotel is very well located, and the view from the rooftop is just perfect. The rooms located in front of the street (with restaurants ) are not quiet, but that's the only wrong point.

the breakfast on the terrace is probably alone worth the price. Also, well situated for all parts of the city. Staff is friendly and helpful.
