Very Good

Perfect location, few minutes walk for main attractions! Good breakfast, excellent staff, hotel itself very clean.
HUGE problem are their beds! Firm is not a word to describe, rock hard!!! Pillows the same very hard. Paper thin walls, you can hear every word and sound, like literally someone in your bed. Shower cabin is very small, I am average size person was having trouble to get in or turn around. We had upgraded room, size is very good, but out of window like a prison courtyard.

Great location, very helpful staff and clean property. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
This is a smaller hotel conveniently located in the old city. The staff were very friendly and very helpful. They gave us great information which made it easy for us to make our plans on what to visit and where to eat. We could walk to most everything including the Blue Mosque.
The hotel is clean and nice. There is a wonderful bar upstairs with great views. The rooms are good size and quite comfortable. We loved having a room where we could look out on the street and feel connected to the area.
We would definitely stay here again.
Location is perfect. Steps away from the tram stop. Short walks to major sites. Incredible breakfast. The staff could not be more attentive and helpful. They go over and above basic service. Shower is small. Beds very comfortable. Surprisingly quiet. Highly recommend
Nice room, spa on site, good breakfast, friendly staff, underground parking garage right next to hotel.
Not high end, not budget.
A nice middle ground room.
I would certainly stay there again
We had an excellent stay at this wonderful hotel. From the moment we checked in, we were warmly welcomed and attentively cared for by the entire staff. We must especially highlight the outstanding service provided by Tarik and Ercan, who were essential in making our experience perfect.
The hotel’s location is simply unbeatable close to everything, with easy access to the tram and the city’s main attractions, which made our sightseeing even more convenient.
The breakfast is very good. All of this, combined with the friendliness and professionalism of the entire team, made our stay truly exceptional.
We are very happy and will definitely return here on a future visit. Congratulations to everyone for the impeccable service!
We had a really great time staying at the Aprilis Hotel. The staff looked after us so well, with such courtesy and kindness. The rooms were very clean and comfortable; the hotel was very central for all of our sightseeing; the breakfasts were plentiful; and the views from the rooftop bar were incredible. The hotel is on the main tram route, with only 10 minutes walk down the hill to Haggia Sophia and the Basilica Cisterns. We stayed here for 12 nights and found plenty to do in and around the city. The staff greeted us with Turkish tea on arrival,. and brought complimentary drinks to our room one night.The breakfast staff were super helpful, and the reception staff were a great help in helping us plan our sightseeing. I would heartily recommend this hotel to anyone.

Decent choice
Decent hotel in middle of Fatih. Good location but with that comes a bit of noise. Windows/walls were pretty thin so could hear street/hotel noise.
Breakfast standard - all in all a decent choice
A good place to be if you would like to walk to all the historical attractions around SutanHammet. The staff were friendly, helpful courteous and just nice humans. The rooms are cozy and clean. There is no noise coming in from the street level. There were no in-dining options but there are plenty of restaurants on the same street. Thank you Aprilis for a memorable visit.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The property cannot be in a better location, but the place is very dated and the room was way too small. Because it was Winter, we couldn’t turn on air or fan, and we were always very hot, having to sleep with window open and noise not pleasant.
It’s a nice location but you can tell the extra paint and the nice decorations were only applied to the lobby and breakfast area. The room itself hasn’t seen much love for a while. The worst part of it, the room has AC but it didn’t cool enough. The room felt like it was 25C all day and all night. Which is better than 32c that was outside but difficult to sleep and be comfortable all day. Only stayed here because of the 3 beds.
Amazing location. Close to the museum, blue mosque, hagia sophia etc..
Great, friendly staff, on the ball at all times. Clean and tidy. Lovely terrace on the roof. Keep it up
We had a pleasant stay and the staff were kind and friendly and they provided the best possible service and aimed to meet all the required needs. Overall no complaints.
