Seyri Istanbul Hotel: twin-bed rooms and river views, Fatih

Seyri Istanbul Hotel is a hotel in the Vefa quarter of Fatih, Istanbul. Measured in a straight line from the hotel, the distances to the city's landmarks and to the airport are as follows.

The airport is the outlier: Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) sits about 32.2 km from the hotel, in a straight line.

• Süleymaniye Mosque: about 0.4 km
• Zeyrek Mosque: about 0.5 km
• Sirkeci railway station: about 1.5 km
• Galata Tower: about 1.7 km
• Hagia Sophia: about 1.9 km
• Sultan Ahmed Mosque: about 1.9 km
• Topkapı Palace: about 2.1 km
• Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW): about 32.2 km

Every room type in the hotel is made up of twin beds, from the Standard Single Room's one to the Triple Room's three. No room type offers a double bed, so a couple wanting to share one bed will not find it here. Sizes run from 16 m² in the Twin Room to 25 m² in the Triple Room, with the Double Room and the Standard Single Room both at 20 m².

The Twin Room is the smallest and the only one with a city view; it has two twin beds and sleeps up to three. The Double Room matches its two twin beds and its sleep count of up to three, but gives four more square metres and a river view. Between the two, the choice is space and view and nothing else: the beds and the capacity are the same. Three of the four room types have a river view; the Twin Room alone looks at the city.

The Triple Room, the largest at 25 m², has three twin beds and a river view, and is the room for three people who each want a bed of their own. The Standard Single Room gives one guest a generous 20 m², one twin bed and a river view, and sleeps up to one.

Room service is offered, a shuttle service runs for a fee, and family rooms are among the room types. Parking at the hotel is paid, which matters to anyone arriving by car.

The children rule and the family rooms go together: a family with children is within the hotel's intended audience, and the Triple Room's three separate beds or the Double Room's capacity of up to three give that family something to work with.

• Check-in is from 14:00
• Check-out is until 12:00
• Children are allowed
• Pets are not allowed
• Parking is paid

A solo traveller is well served: the Standard Single Room gives 20 m², a river view and a private room for one. Couples fit the Double Room, and a third guest can share it, since it sleeps up to three. A family of three can take the Triple Room for separate beds, or the Twin or Double for shared capacity. For groups larger than three, more than one room will be needed: three is the highest sleep count given for any room type here.

Who should look elsewhere: travellers with pets, which the hotel does not allow, and anyone set on a double bed, since every room type uses twins. Anyone driving should budget for paid parking.
