Wonderful

The staff at this hotel are really amazing. The front desk is so helpful. The hotel is very conveniently located near blue mosque and Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace.
Our room wasn't the cleanest and there was mold growing in the caulk and grout in the shower. Also, and there's nothing the hotel can do about this, but I wish I had known how noisy the street was going to be. Sultanahmet is loud generally, but this street is particularly loud. The nearby businesses don't stop blaring music until 2am.
The property is clean. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food at the cafe is excellent and its three blocks downhill from Sultanhamett square and the Blue Mosque and Aya Sophia. I have stayed at the Senatus twice now and will stay there again if and when I go back.
Very conveniently located to all major attractions, <1km from mosques, basilica cistern, topkapi, 2km to bazaar, 50km(1300TL taxi) from airport. Great staff & brekky.
Room rate in line with value, vs overpriced 5 star.
Very happy with this hotel.
Clean rooms which were maintained daily.
Fridge and tea and coffee making facilities in the room.
Excellent shower.
Staff wonderful and very welcomjng.
Would recommend without hesitation.
Very quick walk to Blue Mosque and ideally placed for transport.
The location was close to where we wanted to be. There were numerous dining and shopping options within a few minute walk. The area appeared very safe and the staff were very friendly. A few minor areas of concern. The bed was extremely soft which may be an issue for a few people. The TV had hundreds of stations that the hotel did not pay for access and there were only 2 viewable in English, one of which was an Japanese lifestyle station. Our bathroom towelbar was falling off wall. Overall the lack of TV and the towel rack were minor and the comfort of the soft bed was subjective. It still was a great location and the staff were helpful when asked any questions or local advice. The minor issues would not prevent me from staying there again.
The staff were always accommodating and and helpful, and the breakfast staff were particularly attentive. The Hotel is in an absolutely perfect location, within very close walking distance to all major sites, and close to a metro station for longer exercusions.

Good breakfast and nice staff.
Too many restaurants on the street and do not like restaurant staff hustling pedestrians.
The vibe of the street was great, lots of lively eateries, rooftop views. Very close to old city Sultanahmet with all the mosques. The breakfast were fantastic.
We spent 3 nights at Senatus and it is a very conveniently located for most of the attractions and tram stop if needed to explore further. The breakfast was good and rooms were clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay here!
