Home away from home!
Pros:

The staff were so kind and helpful, the breakfast buffet including freshly made gözleme to order was fantastic, dinners there were great if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the streets. The room was big and v comfortable and not too noisy. The location was a nice easy walk up to Sultan Ahmet and all the old city attractions. Great value for money and would happily stay there again!

Cons:

Occasionally supplies in my room not restocked, but reception staff v happily grabbed anything I needed.

I recommend this hotel!
Pros:

The location was very convinient, all staff members were kind. I will come back to the hotel when I visit Istanbul.
Normal twin room is a bit too tight, it’s good to invest a bit to book one bigger room for 2 people.

Отличное расположение, тихо, сытные завтраки
Pros:

В целом пребывание было комфортно, расположение отличное, завтраки сытные
Понравилось · Номер дали выше категории, спасибо!Расположение отеля отличное, пешком до Айя -Софии 10 минут. Угловой делюкс-номер большой, просторный и светлый, тихо, уютно , в номере тепло, хороший напор воды. Питьевую воду, чай, кофе пополняют ежедневно. Чисто, полотенца меняют ежедневно . Завтраки хорошие, но немного однообразны и совсем не было зелени. Женщина которая печет лепёшки очень приятная. Парень, который помогал отнести сумки, отзывчив и приходит на помощь, молодец!

Cons:

Серьёзных замечаний нет, только ванная под уставшая. И персонал кухни не очень приветлив, не всегда здороваются. Также на ресепшен, когда мы узнавали о возможности продлить пребывание, у них не было единого решения. Один сотрудник сказал, что возможно за ту же плату, но с заменой комнаты. Второй сказал что можем остаться в той же комнате , но уже немного дороже.

Wonderful Hotel in Quiet Location
Pros:

My family and I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Amira! The staff was polite and very attentive to our needs. A wide variety of quality food choices were available for breakfast and we highly recommend the gozleme flatbread that a woman baked fresh for us each morning.

We chose this hotel in part because its location is relatively quiet in an otherwise busy tourist section of Istanbul. In 5 minutes, you can walk down to the waterfront and catch the sunset. You are only about a 10 minute walk from Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Grand Bazaar and countless stores and restaurants. There is an awesome rooftop restaurant that's worth checking out just steps down the street.

The rooms were reasonably sized by European standards. When we needed room to just hang out, the staff allowed us to use the breakfast area. We also used the hotel to arrange airport transport which helped simplify our journey, especially as we arrived at IST well after midnight.

I would highly recommend Hotel Amira when visiting this part of Istanbul.

perfect for a short stay
Pros:

I was on my way to Ankara for a conference and decided to spend two nights in Istanbul for a quick tour. My flight got in very early, and the gentleman at the reception offered me breakfast. It was a very nice gesture even though I just got fed on the plane. I was happy to have a place to sit down for coffee before places open. And I received a text on whatsapp before 1am that my room was ready while I was out touring.

The hotel staff spoke perfect English and was helpful in every way.

I enjoy the breakfast very much as well - turned our to be better than a much ‘fancier’ hotel i stayed in later on the trip in Ankara; where very few people spoke any English.

The room was a bit on the ‘old and rundown’ side but perfectly clean and sufficient and comfortable.

It was a perfect stay all in all. Most of the major sights were within walking distance, Uber worked just fine when I ventured beyond the ‘neighborhood’ or decided that I needed a break from walking.
