How we score
Each score is worked out by code from the facts this page shows, never from guests’ ratings or a writer’s opinion, and is given as 1 to 5 dots.
Near the sights: how close the nearest listed sight is, and how many are within 1 km. Rooms: the room sizes we show and how many types there are. Facilities: how many kinds the hotel lists (dining, pool or spa, fitness, front desk services, comfort and access). Families: whether children are welcome, and family rooms, a kids’ club or pool, a playground, babysitting. Wellness: spa, hammam, sauna, steam room, pools, gym and massage.
A score is left out when the hotel’s facts are too few to judge it.
Where Old City Viva Hotel sits
The hotel stands in Sirkeci, at Hocapasa Mah. Orhaniye Cad. No. 20, postcode 34112. Sirkeci railway station is about 0.1 km away, in a straight line, which makes train arrivals and departures straightforward.
The sights around it are close: the New Mosque about 0.5 km, Topkapı Palace about 0.6 km, the Basilica Cistern about 0.6 km, Hagia Sophia about 0.7 km, the Sultan Ahmed Mosque about 1 km and Süleymaniye Mosque about 1.1 km, all in a straight line. Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) is about 30.8 km away.
18 m² single, 18 m² double or twin and 22 m² triple
There are four room types. The Single Room and the Double or Twin Room are both 18 m². The single has one twin bed and sleeps up to 1. The double or twin comes with either one double bed or two twin beds and sleeps up to 3, so it can take a couple with a child or three adults sharing.
The Triple Room, at 22 m², has four twin beds and one double bed, five beds in total.
| Room type | Size | Beds | Sleeps |
|---|---|---|---|
| Double or Twin Room | 18 m² | 1 double bed or 2 twin beds | up to 3 |
| Family Room (4 Adults) | 24 m² | 6 twin beds, 1 double bed | up to 7 |

Spa, hammam and sauna on site
The hotel has a spa with a hammam and a sauna, so a hammam session or a sauna after a day of walking needs no trip elsewhere. There is also a bar, room service and evening entertainment.
A paid airport shuttle serves the airport, useful given the distance to Sabiha Gökçen. A lift serves the building, and family rooms are among the room types.
Check-in, children, pets and parking
Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out until 12:30, a later check-out than many hotels offer. Children are allowed, so families are welcome in all room types, including the family room that sleeps up to 7.
Pets are not allowed. The hotel has no parking of its own, so anyone arriving by car will need to arrange parking elsewhere.
Who it suits and who it does not
It suits travellers who want to be within a kilometre, in a straight line, of Hagia Sophia, Topkapı Palace, the Basilica Cistern and the Sultan Ahmed Mosque, and who value a hammam and sauna in the building. Families and groups fit well: the family room sleeps up to 7, children are allowed, and family rooms exist as a category. Solo travellers have a dedicated single room.
It does not suit anyone travelling with a pet, or anyone who needs on-site parking.
