Antis Hotel-Special Category

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.

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.

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.

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

Lovely and clean hotel. Staff were polite and helpful. Nice, safe and friendly area. Lots of restaurants and supermarkets close by. Within walking distance of Blue Mosque, Aya Sophia and Topkapi Palace. We chose a superior room which gave us a good view over the Marmaris Sea and the mouth of the Bosphorus.

We stayed in the Antis hotel in Istanbul. When we booked, the photos of the hotel made it look lovely. It said rooftop terrace. The bedrooms looked lovely. When we got there we didn’t even have a chest of drawers to put our clothes in. We lived out of our suitcases for the week. We had a very slim wardrobe which just about fitted a couple of my dresses and a coat. The bedroom itself was nothing like the photos on the internet. One small window overlooking the restaurant across the road. We couldn’t open the curtains because people across would have seen right into our rooms. The bathroom was so tiny you couldn’t even brush your teeth properly. The shower coming from the ceiling didn’t work. It looked like mould in the shower rose. It had a shower hose on a riser which was so low we had to use it like a hand held shower. The walls were so thin you could hear conversation from the rooms either side When we asked about the room were told that we should’ve asked for the suite rooms. When we booked through lastminute.com they gave no choice for other rooms. The pictures only showed the better rooms. Not the dingy rooms we were given. The breakfast was disgusting. We had to eat out every morning. We paid for breakfast so we were in fact paying double. The roof top bar was never open. It looked like it had been abandoned. Last minute.com have misled their clients with the representation of this hotel. It is advertised as a four star hotel. This isn’t even two star. We also both woke with red lumps on our body. I couldn’t even begin to think what was biting us. This hotel was abysmal. We paid a lot of money for an absolute hovel. I would advise anyone to not book this hotel. There are plenty of hotels in sultahnamet. Keep away from this one.
