Andi Hotel

The hotel is located in a good area, close to public transportation. The hotel is clean and bright. Near sightseeing points.

Really enjoyed our stay at the Andi Hotel. It’s a quaint, modest place, likely converted from a house. You won’t find a sign outside but just take a look at the photos and memorise the colourful window pattern to find it. It’s down a side street of a main road, 5 mins away from the osmanbey metro station. As for the room, the pictures don’t lie. Room temp was nice and snug, with ample heating and air con if and when needed. Plenty of windows to get fresh air too. Bed was comfy despite being a double up of two single mattresses. Having the kitchenette was useful, especially the fridge, sink and kettle, though a bit of additional cutlery or maybe a microwave would’ve improved matters. There was a washing machine as well but we didn’t require it. TV was fine too but pretty pointless without a Netflix account or Turkish tongue. WiFi wasn’t too shabby either. Bathroom was fine too and the water pressure from the shower was perfect, with an adjustable temperature that worked as you’d expect it to without any sudden spikes of heat or cold. The reception staff are all young guys and a girl in their early twenties. Didn’t speak a lick of English but were helpful when needed. One dude got me a link to football game stream when I couldn’t find it on TV, which was nice. Bear in mind, they give an impression of being unbothered but considering how dull it must be to work there I couldn’t really blame them. They were each attentive when needed so what more do you want. The breakfast was as simple as the service really. Boiled egg, bit of cheese, few olives, basket of bread and varying spreads. Nothing else and no other alternative. As eggs are my usual go to this worked fine for me. Serving between 8-10am, you just have to ask for it and they’ll deliver it to your room within a quarter of an hour. It made for a pleasant start to each day. In essence, if you’re looking something cheap and cheerful where you get a little bit above your money for what you pay for, this hotel is for you. Suits folks of a laidback disposition just looking to enjoy their time with their girl/guy or friends as they embrace all Istanbul has to offer, which is a lot. Recommend!
