Excellent

Very clean and nice hotel, close to all tourist attractions. Tram is 5 mins walk away.
Plenty of eateries around.
Staff were very helpful.
Breakfast options are a bit limited though.
The location is excellent for visiting historic İstanbul, with easy access to the tram and walking distance from major Byzantine and Ottoman monuments. The breakfast was good and the room was clean with powerful AC for a hot, humid summer visit.

The staff were extremely helpful and were always willing to assist with whatever queries or questions we asked.
the hotel is in an excellent position for getting to the most popular tourist attractions
The staff are very efficient and accomodating and the breakfast is more than adequate
The only downside is that there is some traffic noise but don't let that put you off
The LOCATION of Aprillis Gold, emersed in history!
We were fortunate to be in Istanbul both pre and post touring other areas of beautiful Turkey.
The staff at this hotel are very professional, helpful with sightseeing, restaurants, transportation. I commend Smiles for easy name recollection. All the staff in housekeeping, breakfast and reception went out of thei way to make this our home during our three day stay. Wonderful.
The reservation included breakfast that offered a broad number of Turkish and European food selections. Hot soup and multiple vegetable salads were an extra bonus.
The LOCATION of Aprillis Gold emersed us in history. Just two short blocks, uphill, to the trolley. Narrow streets are closed during the daytime to cars. During daytime hours, taxi pickup is just one block downhill, or two blocks away, walk right on the street fronting the hotel.
A grocery and wine store is one block to the right, same street.
We enjoyed two meals at Glass, just across the street with colorful lights in red, yellow, and blue. Soups, meze spreads, lamb with dried fruit, vegetables sautéed in mild curry, pizza, generous wine pours. A bit pricey, excellent preparation, attentive service.
Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Underground Basicalla Cistern, Muslim Art Museum on the Hippadrome walkway, Topkapi Castle complex, Museum of Mathematics and Science are all nearby. The Spice Market and Grand Bazaar are each about 15 minutes away.
Excellent location, close to all tourist attractions. Nice clean rooms, friendly staff, especially Murat, ishmail and Al Mattin. Would definitely recommend!
Extremely positive experience. We got an upgrade without expecting/asking for one. The entire staff was very courteous and friendly. We had coffee with Ismael who was extremely helpful in not just meeting all our needs but also in suggesting places to visit and arranging transportation. Would definitely stay at again if we go to Istanbul.
Very good, in a nice, quieter part of İstanbul. (Please note, İstanbul is not quite, but this area is not as busy as other parts).
The hotel is opposite a cargo shop. And they start making noise from
7am.
Hotel is in a great location, within walking distance of all the sites. The roads outside are not flat. So not wheelchair or pushchair friendly.
We had 3 rooms. The safe in one didn’t work and the a/c in a different one didn’t work. The hotel resolved the issues by the second day.
Breakfast is small, but nice. It’s a Turkish breakfast, with cooked eggs charged extra (5euros).
Spa is quite expensive. 70euros for 1 hour hammam.
Hébergement a proximité de tous(tram ,ieu touriste...),le seul point negatif est que la salle du breakfast est petite, mais le personnel est tres agréable ,souriant.
Hotel in ottima posizione, centrale a tutte le principali attrazioni. Personale molto disponibile e cordiale, unica pecca non usano il lenzuolo ma solo una specie di coperta senza nulla d'altro. La prossima volta mi prenderei su le lenzuola :-)
Location is minutes walk away from trams and main high Street where the shops and some tourist sites were based
Staff were helpful and friendly throughout our stay, Murat and Mr Alatt helped with registering our Istanbul Card for travel, ordering taxi and general support for every day tourist.
Rooms were clean and tidy
Everything was good. Rabia the receptionist was very helpful the only suggestion is to provide free water and add more to breakfast menu. Also there was no blanket or duvet only a thin bedsheet was provided which was not enough
Unfortunately we stay 8 night there, they give us not the same room we booked, 2 beds instead of one king bed with my wife. However they make us trouple at the 1st day, they said its fully booked and you cant stay here for the 1st night after negotiation they send us to other hotel from their groups, we got a stupid small room with no windows.
I have to announce they didnot change the breakfast varieties 6 days the same except the last 2 days of my checkout they add different foods.
Honestly, it was the first bad lucky hotel in istanbul. The hotel should be rated no more than 6/10 ONLY.
