Pros:

Perfetta posizione vicino ai luoghi storici. Stanza superior con balconcino vista mare ottima, vicino alla ferrovia ma che non si sentiva per nulla. Struttura moderna con un tocco di stile classico. Colazione abbondante, soprattutto per il dolce. Personale molto gentile, un plauso particolare a Marve receptionist disponibilissima

Cons:

Cuscino alto e duro per i miei gusti

Europa League Final 2026 - Aston Villa fans
Pros:

Location is amazing and so peaceful even though all the sights and sounds of Istanbul are just a few minutes walk away.

The staff were an absolute highlight. The breakfast was incredible and a real joy to enjoy traditional Turkish style breakfast.

Sadly, I can't recall all the names but everybody was so helpful with check-in, help with taxis, tramd and loads.of local information.

Merve on reception was simply brilliant and really went above and beyond to help all the Villa fans who had checked in for the football. Such a kind and considerate person with a fabulous sense of humor and is a real credit to the hotel.

Sahmet and Elif(?) helped us with charging phones/broken phones. These folks really went above and beyond to make our stay brilliant. Even posing for photos and really embracing the excitement of the football game.

Cons:

Nothing. Everything was absolutely perfect and it is rare you can say that about a hotel.

I stayed in January so obviously came back as my previous stay was also brilliant, and I recommended the hotel to a number of fellow Aston Villa supporters.

Would highly recommend this hotel - due to price, location and lovely staff.
Pros:

The price was perfect - so reasonable which is rare to see. Would attract me to stay there again because of that. Great location. Staff were very helpful. Room was lovely - good size, clean and great shower.

Cons:

Whilst it was included as part of the price the breakfast - it wasn't the most exciting of food but still lovely enough.

Next time in Avicenna again
Pros:

Hotel in a historical building, close to all cultural attractions. A lot of restorants and small supermarkets. Very close to the Bosporus. Clean, good matrac, the towels were a little old but clean, and changed every second day. Good smell in the room. Wonderfull views to Bosporus and the Asian side. Breakfast always the same but not bad. Lot of vegetables and greens of which you can make a salad. Lot of cookies. Always fresh bread

Cons:

We booked a superior room. And received a standard. Because it was really very small, 15 meters and not 20. Only one chair. Bathroom is tiny. For us it was oke since we are not big people. Just when we arrived we were too tired to argue about the room type

Schönes, gute gelegenens, nicht zu großes Hotel
Pros:

Zur Zeit unseres Aufenthalts (Mai2026) war eine Baustelle direkt unter unserem Fenster (Ausblick über den Bosporus). aber die Arbeiten hörten abends auf, daher war es erträglich. Der Ausblick war wunderschön.
Die Lage des Hotels ist optimal um die wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten zu Fuß oder mit der Tram zu erreichen, dennoch in einer ruhigeren Straße gelegen

Cons:

Das Zimmer war etwas klein, aber für einen 3-4tägigen Städtetrip durchaus ausreichend
