Guest Reviews
- Getaway139883 (10/5): Hotel in the heart of the city - A lovely hotel in the picturesque district of Sultanahmet. Only a few steps from the pulsating centre of Istanbul.
- Mktemb2012 (10/5): Great Experience - I stayed at the Antis Hotel in Istanbul in early October, and it was a wonderful experience. Clean and a good breakfast. The location is excellent, and the terrace offers amazing views of the sea and the Blue Mosque . A special highlight goes to the staff — everyone was very attentive and helpful. Every morning, I bombarded the lady at the reception with questions on how to get to the tourist attractions and she always answered everything with great kindness. She even booked a restaurant for me to celebrate my birthday. The young man who helped me with my luggage was also very special. I can only be thankful.
- mushr2025 (8/5): Returning customer pleasant stay - I am a returning guest at Antis Hotel, and once again my stay was very pleasant. It fully met my expectations, just like my first visit. The front desk staff were extremely helpful and attentive, and the housekeeping team was equally attentive and professional. Personally, I feel the breakfast options could be improved, and it would be great to have at least a toaster available.
- adilh290 (2/5): Pictures which are shown in the booking site are not at all same it’s below average hotel - We had a less-than-ideal experience at a hotel. The photos online didn't accurately represent the hotel's condition, particularly the rooms and washrooms, which were below average. Since our booking was non-refundable, we felt obligated to stay despite the issues. You're warning others about your experience and advising them to be cautious when considering this hotel.
- 993fawada (10/5): Superb Location and A Great Choice! - It was good, quiet and great hotel in European Side, too close to Blue / Pink / Palace and Park, Near to Beach and Restaurants are just few steps away. Ms Ayse is a gem to this hotel as she is very cooperative intact super cooperative, she made our stay comfortable and we feel like a home instead of hotel. This hotel is 100% recommended and the most important part of this hotel was, it is too close to Mosque and a great choice for those who wants offer Salah / Prayer in Mosque.
- U3135HEleam (10/5): 🙃 - My stay at this hotel was amazing! The location is excellent – everything is nearby, which is especially useful if you’re visiting Istanbul for the first time. The breakfast is also great, with plenty of options and high-quality food.....
- Esther (10/5): - Great place! Loved the location, everything was near from there.
- nicodO3297TW (10/5): A pearl in istanbul - I have been 2 Night.Happy for this choice. Staff very helpful,always give you good advice.Room very clean and vintage,comfortable bed. Amazing roof top and one of the best breakfast I have had.Location great. Strongly recommended. Thanks
- scotty000 (10/5): Perfect stay at Antis Hotel - A great hotel. Perfectly situated for all the main sites in Sultanahmet. Staff are amazing and do everything they can to make the stay a perfect one. Reception staff are on hand 24 hours a day. They helped print off my tickets for various sites as I didn’t have internet outside the hotel. Nothing was too much trouble. Eating places all very near by.
- NaheedM14 (8/5): Fantastic staff. - Just returned from a week staying at this hotel. The staff were always welcoming and always happy to help. Ayşe and Hilal always made sure all our needs were catered for. The rooms were cleaned daily. My only complaint is the hotel boasts of a roof top terrace which unfortunately is not used. Maybe that picture should be taken off the brochure as that was one of the reasons I booked the hotel. Nevertheless very considerate staff and a great stay.
- Reikayamamoto-73 (10/5): Lovely Hotel and fantastic staffs - Me and my friend had a lovely time in Antis when we visited Istanbul. The Hotel staffs were very lovely, helpful and friendly. I am sorry to forget the name of the Man at the reception who helped us navigate on our first day in Istanbul. The Cruise dinner with show that he recommended was absolutely fantastic. I don’t mind the space in the room about as it is functional and clean. The bed was comfortable and the pillows were good. I slept well. The Hotel is near the town centre mainly 5 minutes to all sightseeing. The rooftop view was good too and really nice to relax in the evenings.
- ashk638 (10/5): Excellent location and friendly staff - Excellent location and friendly staff. Ayse was lovely and helped us plan trips and gave some great advice. Excellent breakfast and good value for money. Hotel is clean and the room is cleaned daily. Close to blue mosque and Aya Sophia. Central to other amenities.
- jennymN6416OI (10/5): Great location. Friendly reception staff - The location of this hotel is amazing, just 5 minutes walk from the blue mosque and Hagia Sophia. The reception staff were amazing, especially Aysha , she helped plan all our trips. The rooms are a bit dated and worn, but would still come back here
- Verified traveler (2/5): Avoid like the plague - The hotel is run down and filthy. The beds are hard and the sheets are so dry and scratchy. It was the worst stay I’ve ever had. We checked out early because the conditions were so bad and they refused to refund us for the nights we weren’t staying. Even though I booked a refundable room. It’s a bad hotel. Location is okay. Close to the main attractions. But the room was so bad it was terrible. We moved across town and it was much better.
- Min chai (10/5): - Perfect location. Very easily accessible by the tram service. Very close to the Hagia Sophia and the blue mosque.
- Denise (10/5): - Excellent location walking distance to mosques, historical sites, shopping and dining. Rooftop bar is basic but has amazing views. Front desk staff were extremely helpful in advice, booking a turkish bath for us, and changing our room when the AC was making a lot of noise. Very happy with our choice!
- LUCYLENE (10/5): - We would definitely stay here if we visit Istanbul.
- Shaida (8/5): - Nice staff and had a good stay
- Selina (6/5): - It was the best location and only 2min walk to the blue mosque and everything else. Staff was friendly however never really gave any good recommendations for anything and push to sell packages they promoted in the hotel which isn’t right as those packages are overpriced in euros. Also the room was cleaned everyday by the cleaners who never changed the sheets over the 5days we stayed. Lastly walls are super thin and we could there Lot if noise from the corridor at 3/4am At night
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Amazing view! We had the suite on the top floor and it was very peaceful and beautiful with a view of the mosque on one side and a view of the sea on the other. Great value for the price. Service was excellent. Only complaint is the internet was very slow and at times unusable from our room. It was better from the lobby.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Advertised as rooms with balcony but the dont have any. Breakfast was the same each day for the week i was there and not much of a variety. Staff are nice and friendly. Rooms are kept fairly clean
- Abdul (10/5): Cosy - Stayed in Antis for three nights during a cold January and thoroughly enjoyed the stay. Staff and location were brilliant. A really cosy hotel. Can't wait to return.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Close to restaurants amenities, transport, tourist attraction, people from desk very helpful, polite
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The staff are very nice and helpful it’s very clean and the breakfast is good too except the mattresses and not comfortable at all
- Nat (2/5): - This property looks very different in real life then in photos The breakfast was not refiled, same breakfast everyday. If you sit outside to have breakfast its surrounded by cats. The bedroom is very small, the room lights are so bad. Very dimmed. The wood from edge of the roof fell on my leg and all they did was say sorry. I am so disappointed, I will never stay here.
- Verified traveler (6/5): nice view from the suite but service need more att - We booked the suite- the largest room in the hotel, the view from the room was nice but we felt isolated from the hotel as the suite was on the roof next to the terrace and the bar. The service was okay, but one day we had to sleep without enough blankets because the cleaning stuff took our blankets and the reception mentioned that they don’t have any blankets left ! We struggled with the shower but they repaired within two days. Apart from that we got what we asked for within few minutes like water etc... The hotel is located on a very sharp uphill and is far from Sultanahmet tram station. Receptionists are so nice and helpful, they speak good English. Overall, we fairly enjoyed our stay here.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The service at Antis Hotel was better than a five star hotel, the staff are so friendly and always smiling and happy to help.
- MohammadRana (4/5): - Close to historical sites. Same breakfast everyday- super basic. No wifi- absolutely horribly slow! Drainage issues in shower. Uncomfortable, small bed for 2. Very small room. No room service. Beware of trapping by staff for expensive boat cruises which are useless and can be done for 1/4 price.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Minutes walk to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, tram, shops and restaurants.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - We really liked the location and breakfast of Antis Hotel. The staff, with the exception of one of the younger night desk men, were exceptional. The rooms were cute and stylish but weren't exceptionally clean. However, you need to factor in the return on investment, and this place has it. It is in walking distance from all the things you want to see...and it's less than five minutes. Overall, my family was very happy with their stay and we would stay here again in the future.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The staff was friendly and helpful.The hotel was close to Sultanahmet and other attractions. There were a variety of good restaurants nearby. The beds needs changing as they were uncomfortable.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - I must say that I had a lovely holiday. All the staff were exceptionally helpful and took great care of all our needs. The only issue is that the hotel like several in the area is on an incline and there are issues with traffic. This would not however stand in the way of my staying at this location again.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Good location and staff. Bar and terrace no longer operate and restaurant is open for breakfast only.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Our time at the delightfil Antis Hotel - All the staff were extremely polite, helpful and accommodating. They did their best to make our 9 days stay very comfortable. The 3 concierges were professional and always went the extra mile to assist us. The wifi options on all floors was definitely a plus. Whilst our bedding and towels were changed daily, it would have been great if our room had been swept and dusted as well. I wish they would replace the orange squash served at breakfast with fresh fruit juices. They should also consider adding some fresh fruits. The bar in the lobby and the rooftop terrace are under utilised. My son was upset when he was asked to leave the rooftop terrace where he was relaxing and enjoying fresh air on our last night. We felt very safe in the hotel though, and would recommend it.
- vikrant (8/5): GREAT location and coffee - Nice and warm staff. Good to talk to them. Breakfast could have some variety. Else exact same food every morning. :( .again very nice staff and their manager.
- WillieLeon (6/5): - Is the place on Istanbul what you need for sleep and take a shower, but the most important about this hotel is close to everything ( Sophia, Blue Mosque, etc) , is to close to the landmarks that you do not need a taxi , just walk !
- Verified traveler (4/5): 2 days in Istanbul (Sultanahmet) - The hotel is renovated its clean but still needs to fix some issues such as shower and air conditioning The air conditioner was liking and the ceiling shower was not working then they tried to fix it gets worsened the positive points about this hotel is the staff are friendly and try to help The location is good very close to the center I advise before you settle your room check AC And Shower
- Verified traveler (2/5): - I never come back to this hotel . It is nothing like to the photos. So poor service. First night the air conditioner was not working slept in hot all night sweating. The room not clean at all . The bedding full of stains . I will not advice this hotel to anyone . With all respect true opinion.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Excellent location. Charming rooms. Friendly staff. Nice breakfast buffet
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Hotel was really convenient ,next to blue mosque. It was very clean and staff were good
- Subhi (8/5): - The hotel was very good and clean room was small for
- Amy (6/5): - the hotel itself is okay. It's walkable distance to all the tourist attractions. However, the receptionists especially the young one ripped us off a few times after we found out that we can get way cheaper your down the road. Exactly the same tour but a lot cheaper.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - Booking not available!!!!!! I spent more than 8 hours to find the accommodation
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Overall stay was lovely. The staff were friendly. Location was very good. Only thing that we didn't like was thr fact you could hear other guests in their rooms.
- Rodney (8/5): - Good location, mostly quiet. Furniture and decor a bit dated but in good condition. Staff helpful. Wifi good. The only problem I had was with laundry, thinking that the prices were in lira, but they claimed, when I got the laundry back that it was in Euros! It seemed like a scam; why would the prices be in Euros, and who would pay 6 euros to wash a T-shirt? They generously "discounted" the inflated price to the lira amount. Be warned!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Near enough to important places in Sultanamet, many resturants and shops, reasonable value for money.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Breakfast was amazing! I wish the rooms were a little bigger but otherwise very nice!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The room was clean and the bed was comfortable, pleasing for the price.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Welcoming hotel with easy access to the major historic buildings, monuments and museums of Sultanahmet ( the old city). Good location for accessing transport links to all parts of Istanbul. Helpful staff assist the tourist experience and make this a great basis for a trip to Istanbul.
- Josephine (8/5): Good hotel - The hotel is old but it is clean. For the price paid and to be so close to main sights in Istanbul, the hotel was good. The heating worked really well, needed to open a window, and water was hot. Beds were clean but a bit firm for my liking. Breakfast was very good, had a nice variety, and it was included in price. WiFi great. So if you're on a budget and visiting for history, culture and want to be close to sights, this is a good place to stay. If you want a romantic get away, I do not recommend this hotel.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - Awful experience, rooms are bad, heating didn’t work (and its winter), we had to move to another room. Its not what it seems at all.
- Jill (10/5): - Excellent location & comfortable rooms. Good breakfast. I would definitely stay here again.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Good basic hotel - Good location near tourist places and lots of restaurants nearby hotel was ok but bed sheets and pillows were dirty had to ask the cleaner to change them the staff especially Ali was very helpful and friendly The breakfast needs improvement no toaster limited options like a few cereal and cheeses and eggs Would give 3 stars need improvement
- Sajad (8/5): Istanbul Old City - Nice hotel & friendly staff, conveniently located for Blue mosque, Topkapi & Hagia Sofia museum, good choice of restaurants nearby and shops. Lift played up a little a few times but overall a good stay.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - It was a poor experience and won't use this hotel again or recommend it to anyone
- Mo (10/5): Superior - Really nice hotel Nyc staff Neat and Clean hotel Helpful peopl All atraction 5min walk Beautiful view from terrace Ali best staff really nice and helpful all packages for attraction you can get from hotel Awsym breakful what we paid we got extra hats off to them excellent staff
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The area is good biut the loction of the hotel is not easy you have to walk 10 mintues up to arrive to bus station or o the main road
- Verified traveler (6/5): - just of the centre with good local down to earth feel to the area,
- Maz (8/5): - Close to tourist attractions. Surrounding area could be noisy at night time.
- Mick (8/5): - Good location. Decent sized rooms. Tasty and varied breakfast.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Not 4 star as advertised . Expedia should avoid star rating as I was very unhappy to end up in 2 star when it was advertised as. 4 star.
- Noel (8/5): Istanbul short stay - Great hotel for the money clean good location lots of local shops restaurants overall good experience
- Verified traveler (6/5): Nice hotel close to blue mosque - There is no sandals in washing room when you ask they dont care to assist you but they think its ok whith out sandals
- Shoukat (6/5): Close to all tourist sites in SultanAhmet. - Well located. Musty smell. Low lighting. Good breakfast. Needs better cleaning and towels. Staff was friendly.
- Sujay (6/5): Small rooms, poor service - The rooms were small, and the service was also not proper. Also, they do not pay attention to the service quality. Not preferred for the next time.
- Verified traveler (10/5): very good hotel - 2 years traveling experience, i travel to Germany, Italy, Paris and Kenya
- Verified traveler (8/5): Closes to attractions - There can be more options for breakfast. Wifi is pretty in rooms but is fine in lobby
- Verified traveler (2/5): Not Nice - The AC system is not working the room was full smell of cigarette
- traveler (10/5): Great location friendly staff - Hotel is in great location. Staff and manager are very friendly and helpful.
- lil shoey (8/5): very good hotel, close to all the attraction - Had a fantastic trip to Istanbul. Everything from expedia was just fab. Flight on time, quick transfers to and from airport and very good hotel. Hotel had evrything you need. Good size room and bed. Staffs were very polite and freindly. Could improve on the breakfast area/department. And the best part is that its close to all the attractions :) will defo visit again soon and in this hotel.
- Atif (10/5): nice hotel in sultan ahmet - very good experience, pleasant stay, friendly staff, beautiful king size room, very comfortable bed, best toilet facilities... definitely if i will get same rates i will again stay in this same hotel. I would recommend this hotel to everyone. very nice location most of all staff made me feel at home
- Verified traveler (4/5): Poor communication between ebookers and hotel - The scores would be higher only: the hotel website states all rooms are inclusive of breakfast, I had this confirmed by ebookers on a live chat. On arriving they told me that breakfast isn't included and required €7 for coffee bread, cheese and cold meat. I tried to email ebookers 3 times on two different support addresses and all were returned with server faults. Hotel would not contact ebooker either. Not a happy guest. Will not be using on my return trip. I would still like a response from ebookers. David
- Riz (6/5): - Nice room but small. Not sound proof. At times too much noise.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Won't recommend - Won't stay there again. Seems budget lacking modern touch. Tiny old hotel, OK for survival.
- Uz (8/5): Lovely hotel, great base for exploring Istanbul - Great location, only a 4-5 mins from Blue Mosque and near many restaurants, but not in a noisy location. Our room was spotless and very tastefully decorated with a great shower, just what you need after a day of exploring the city. The terrace had lovely view of the Blue Mosque and across the Bosphorous. Breakfast selection wasn't amazing, but the coffee was nice and the bread was amazingly fresh. All the staff were lovely and very welcoming.
- Helen (10/5): Great break - We only had 1 full day in Istanbul but the hotel was easy walking distance to many sights so we made the most of our time. The hotel staff were friendly and helped us plan our visit.
- David (8/5): Top floor suite or nothing - Nice hotel with great staff. A lot of the reviews are not lying though. The train is incredibly loud, and the house keepers started working promptly at 7am. We stayed in the top floor suite, and that is the only room I would recommend. Otherwise you will not get any peace or quiet.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Good hotel in nice area - Good hotel in a nice area (close to the blue mosque). Staff was also friendly. Booked a room with water views and it was really nice. Rooms are small compared to North American hotels though. Elevator was tiny! The breakfast was really comprehensive. Overall, would stay again.
- Ricardo (10/5): FANTASTIC STAY - GREAT STAFF - Incredible location and staff. Highly recommended for all.
- vivian (8/5): Location is awesome - The hotel allowed us an early check in which was awesome and then also told us we could also have breakfast! The staff were very helpful with directions and facilitating in excursions. The room although small was clean and was equipped with everything one would need. The location was amazing - only a few minutes walk away from the Blue Mosque, The Hagia Sophia and many restaurants.
- Khurshid (8/5): Hotel near Blue Mosque - It's a newer hotel in the old area of SultanAhmet. Near 3 major attractions of blue mosque,hyeasophia and Topkapi palace. Location was very convenient.
- Dan (8/5): An excellent choice near all old city sights! - I had a nicely furnished room with a view across the Bosphorus Sea. The included breakfast was very good; the front desk was very helpful; and housekeeping was excellent. It's a very short and pleasant walk past good restaurants to the Blue Mosque, St. Sophia and Topkapi Palace. The Antis Hotel is a great choice!
- ssharm1 (8/5): Great hotel in the heart of Sultanahmet - Great hotel close to the main sights of Istanbul. Old city of Sultanahmet is the best place to get a feel of the real Istanbul. Even with the unexpected snow storms the place was still going strong for New years Eve celebrations. Everything is walkable distance. You can walk to Hagia Sofia, the blue Mosque and even to the sea. The metro is also nearby if you want to venture further.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Not a total disaster, but dangerously close! - Stayed here for 3 nights, and overall was not happy at all. Would not recommend this hotel to anyone, until some major changes are made. - Staff: Not bad. They tried to help, but the attitude was not pleasant. Reluctant to help out with issues. - Hotel: VERY VERY noisy. There is absolutely no privacy. If next door someone is talking on the phone, I could hear everything. It is right next to the railroad too! So trains go by at all hours and it's very annoying. - Room: Upon entry, three lightbulbs were burned out (this was a Deluxe room, mind you). Hotel staff changed 2 of them, but the third, they did not. Rooms are small, and as I said very noisy. Bed is ridiculously small for a King size bed. - Breakfast: OK at best. Very limited fruit selection and bad quality at that. Overall: Stay away from here if you're looking for a relaxing, noise-less, pleasant experience. Honestly, the train noise and sounds from other rooms will drive you mad.
- Tahir (10/5): Brilliant location - Nice clean hotel polite and helpfull staff The location was brilliant
- naz (8/5): nice hotel friendly staff - positive experience definitely would recommend this place so much to see and do hotel was close to all the amenities
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Amazing stay and great view from hotel
- William (10/5): A great location in Old Town Istanbul - Very pleased with this hotel. Was in a great location. Very easy walk to a ton of restaurants. Close to Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Great Palace Mosaic Museum, Arasta Bazaar & more. Hotel staff was very friendly & helpful. Free breakfast was good. I would highly recommend a stay here.
- Guy (6/5): nice welcoming staff - Woken at c5.40 am each day by call to prayer from nearby mosque. Very helpful staff who spoke good English. Breakfast focussed on salad and didnt include expected range. Hotel situated next to a rarely used railway line which may be used more soon, and on a steep lane not good for folk with mobility issues
- elizabeth (8/5): close to everything and staff was excellent - close proximity to everything! walking distance to great shops and restaurants! quick walk to the tram station as well. the staff was 5 stars!!!! i wanted to get a turkish bath and was telling the young gentleman that was working the front desk that it was too expensive but he made some calls and even had transportation pick me up for a cheap price! He saved me more than half the price! I would definitely recommend this hotel. The only thing was the bed was too small so next time i will upgrade to larger room/bed! Oh, and the rooftop terrace had beautiful views of the blue mosque as well as the waters!
- Roy (10/5): good value for money near Sultan Ahmet - I loved all the staff. They were so kind and helpful and went out of their way to make our holiday delightful. The rooms were very clean, and the hotel is very close to the tourist centre without being too close to the gift shops. So you can escape the hustle and bustle, have peace and feel the excitement of Istanbul without pressure.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Beautiful hotel near Sultan Ahmet - Extremely kind and helpful staff. Wonderful accommodation. Felt very homely. Would love to come again.
- Essam (6/5): Very good location - no room service - Overall I was happy. I went on a honeymoon there so I took the biggest room that they had which was the suite with the sea view on their terrace. Stunning views and amazing location. The carpets needs changing and they need to make full use of their terrace.
- Tarek (10/5): great hotel - great experience. It will be certainly our preferred hotel on our next visit to Istanbul and we will definitely recommend it to our friends. hotel was clean, staff extremely helpful and smiling, breakfast goof, and location was simply great. the only issue we faced was in one of our rooms overlooking the train rails on the second floor; we were awaken by the sudden loud noise of the passing train at 5:00 am. Other than this issue, our experience in that hotel was great.
- TheFatSamurai (6/5): Simple and quiet hotel in convenient location - We had a nice experience as a couple in Istanbul. The hotel is situated on a slope in the back streets of Sultanahmet area about 6-7 minute (leisurely) walk from the Blue Mosque. The hotel was simple; the rooms were Ok ( I think e probably had a small room) and clean. The staff were courteous and polite and quick to respond to our requests. The air conditioning was good! We needed it for the warm nights (and days). About 3-4 minute walk away from the hotel was Kennedy Street which is right by the water with beautiful views of the Bosporus sea. We had lovely views of the Blue Mosque when we went up to the roof top to relax in the evening and enjoy a cool drink.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nice location, close to tram link, restu & landmar - Loved my tour to Idtanbul. Had no problem with my reservations. Hotel was ok, staff was friendly. The hotel location worked out to be the best. Tram link, restaurants and many major landmarks are at walking distance (5-15 mins). You can also satisfy your appetite of shopping if you want it. Overall all went flawless and had an amazing experience.
- Ash2015 (8/5): Nice place to stay but be careful... - We stayed in this hotel due to being close to all the attractions in old Istanbul (Sultanahmit). Price is reasonable but beware not to use the mini bar from the room or ask hotel to book airport transfer as it will cost you a bomb. Otherwise, Istanbul is must place to visit. it is truly combination of east and west civilisation. Lots of walking but worth it. Food is cheap and nice. Make sure to try local Turkish food, especially Testi Kebab and Doner Kebab. Also, try Night cruise Bosphorus sea boat trip. worth the money Take some lira with you but exchange the rest in Turkey for good rate. Careful of doggy carpet seller and book your trips from reputable travel shops. Do not buy anything from passer-by person selling from trips to carpets to everything. Have a nice trip.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Nice hotel. Perfect Location. Lovely staff - The hotel was situated perfectly, as it was a quick walk away from the blue mosque and the shoreline. The hotel is also a few steps away from a strip of restaurants and shisha bars. The hotel staff were amazingly lovely and made our holiday much better as they were more than accommodating and very friendly.
- qamer (10/5): Nice hotel central to Istanbul main attractions. - My wife and I arrived at Antis hotel for a small city break. Very friendly and helpful staff, fantastic breakfast choice abs fantastic view of the Blue Mosque from the hotel terrace. The room was fine, we arrived with a small shower fault which was fixed straight away by hotel staff. Not the comfiest of beds but, wasn't terrible. Lovely hotel within walking distance of all main attractions. Will definitely be back.
- Adam (8/5): Nice hotel, great room. - Lovely hotel secreted away in Istanbul's Old City. Sadly located next to a railway line so not the best view, but trains were infrequent and could barely be heard through the double glazed window.
