Weekend getaway
Pros:

Our family of three had such a lovely stay at Aprilis Gold Hotel. Traveling with a child can be challenging, but the staff made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived and until we checked out. They were constantly in contact with us even before our arrival. Everyone was incredibly friendly, helpful, and always greeted us with a smile. The room was clean and comfortable, the breakfast was good and the location was perfect for exploring Istanbul on foot. It is also very near to the train. A lot of restaurants, shops and fast foods are also within the area. Thank you for making our family trip even more memorable—we would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to other families. Special shout out to Murad and Alaa for the great service!

Pros:

Очень вежливый и активный персонал. Консультировали по вопросам прогулок по городу. Помогли с вещами. Убирались быстро и своевременно. Не стали заморачиваться с оплатой чашки кофе и бутылочки воды - у нас на руках не было мелочи, они нам простили эти расходы.

Завтрак хорош. Все свежее и вкусное. Божественным был сыр, которого много сортов, и он очень свежий (но сразу оговорюсь, это сыр типа чечила и подобные ему, а не пармезан).

Ну и, конечно, расположение. В 10 минутах ходьбы и рестораны, и достопримечательности.

Отель очень хорош!

A good basic hotel
Pros:

The Staff were very helpful. They arranged a tour and transport for us , and we were very happy with those arrangements.

The rooms are a good size, and the breakfast was also good. Located in the Old town, major attractions are within walking distance, There are also shops and restaurants close by.

Amazing choice in Sultanamet
Pros:

Clean and comfortable. It quickly became a home away from home. Excellent location in Sultanamet. Loved the room(s) and the little extras (slippers, robe). Staff were friendly but not imposing.
Sister hotel has a great rooftop bar where you can relax and enjoy the vibe.

Cons:

Coffee machine was out-of-order. But we found a cafe within 4 min walking distance.

Good and clean Hotel
Pros:

The Hotel was clean and comfortable.

Cons:

The location was good but going up to the street and grand bazaar was little bit difficult as you have to go uphill little which makes me feel hard do to my age.
