I booked this and paid extra with a \"flexible cancellation\" because I was in the process of waiting for a visa for my destination country. The hotels website itself did not look secure so I booked via expedia. I knew that I might need to check out early so paid extra for that option. Upon check in I was not notified that there was no refund policy.

When my visa came through and I checked out early, the hotel refused to give me a refund. They said the refund was offered by Expedia and not themselves and therefore they wouldn't honor it as it \"would be unfair\". On top of that, during check out they notified me they would be unable to provide the itemized bill at the time of my early check out and would email it later.

La Habitación, instalaciones y ubicacion muy bien, calidad precio, bien.
El unico inconveniente fue que La primera noche el aire acondicionado olia mucho a humedad. Y para las segundas dos noches, lo solucionaron.

Aybar Hotel is very conveniently located within walking distance of most major sites within the Faith district. The rooms are nice however we had issues with our shower not draining properly and creating a pool of water. This did not stop us enjoying our stay. The staff are great and try their best to assist even with language barriers. Thanks for looking after us Aubar

The hotel is centrally located, which is great. If you are physically impaired at all, this is not the hotel for you. To enter you have to go down quite a fewfairly steep stairs.
The rooms are nice and clean.the staff are lovely and very helpful. 7 mins walk to the Bazaar and 10 mins to Basiical Cistern and other main attractions. We did like the loaction a lot.

Hotel in good area, walkable,nice staff, decent breakfast
There is a ine thing in the Istanbul and it was same in Antalya - everyone is trying to rip you off, taxi drivers especially which is destroying the whole Turkey experience. I fi comapre to Dubai or Qatar where evryone is nice to the customers and nobody would dare to rip you off as they are controlled by governent ,makes the experience so much enjoyable .

Good Hotel for Central Istanbul

The first night we had a problem with the room but the hotel staff were very helpful and organized a room change for us. The staff were very friendly and the location of the hotel is amazing everything is in walking distance! They do not have the AC working in the winter months which is understandable but it can get very hot in the rooms and when you open the window it can be very noisy as there was a lot of construction going on around. The rooms could also be a little bit cleaner. Would recommend overall.

This hotel was such a pleasant surprise!
Super well located for tourism, a couple minutes walking from Hagia Sofia and that busy center area.

Now the staff..
This was by far the best staff I've ever seen.
All smiles from the first \"Hello\". It really couldn't be better.
Real humans! Good people!
In our third day there they noticed it was my Mom's birthday and we were surprised with the entire staff singing and hugging around a piece of Cake and candles!! Like, who does that??
Our housekeeping became like family, even though we couldn't understand a word from each other's mouths. The feeling was there. We shared deep stories and tears with our dear Vildan. What a beautiful person she is!
And special thanks to Kerem, now a dear friend! Who found out I'm vegan and surprised us with Almond milk and vegan chocolate! Another talented and beautiful person.

So I guess you can see my appreciation for them here.

Thebroom wa spacious but the floorboards looked really old and looked like it needed renovating. The bathroom was so small that you couldnt get into the shower unless you closed the door. The bathroom sink was broken and the floor was dirty. The pillows were so low and when I asked for 2 extra pillows, the maid made a face at me. I asked for clean towels as all our towels had stains on them and did not look clean. I noticed the whole 3 nights we stayed the maids didnt change our bed sheets, just did up the bed. I once asked for them to be changed and she told me they didnt need to be changed. The location is great and so close to the tram station but i found it difficult to be comfortable as the room was a little icky.

Taxi scam

Overall stay was ok. We asked for taxi to airport from hotel and found out the taxi meter was off. Talking to the driver we found out taxi driver and hotel have a deal to charge us extra. Don’t ask the hotel to get you taxi, use uber which is basically hiring yellow taxis cause private uber hiring is not operational in Turkey yet.

Scammer and liar

The guy Sinan is cheat he when we arrived there he said do you want to pay for transport now the airport shuttle then he said do you want to pay for return journey as I said yes. So he said pay £40 and thats sorted.
Day before our check out I spoke to him and he said your taxi is booked for tomorrow.
In the morning when I enquire the reception staff they said nothing is booked.
I said I spoke to sinan yesterday and he said its booked. He went inside and came out and said he wants you to pay more money I said i paid him on arrival and he said you paid both ways.
He said he is incharge and I can't say anything I said tell him to come out and speak with me but he never came out at end we paid 80 liras more to get a taxi he is scammer and liar.

Would not recommend anyone dealing with him.

RUDE Customer Service !!!!!

Rude and very aggressive customer service. Receptionists do speak English fairly well but they lack courtesy and respect to their customers. Several related incidents took place that are pointless to list in details, last was when thanking the receptionist and saying good bye upon checkout, there was no reply back till I repeated thank you once again and to my surprise, his reply was so rude by saying one word (OK)!!!!! I would never stay there again and recommend people considering staying in this hotel to reconsider this option or at least be prepared for the staffs’ rudeness

Good hotel - good value

Small hotel located on a quite street yet location is very good. Everything you need or want to see is within walking distance or close to public transport ( which is cheap and efficient). Staff were friendly and helpful when needed. Do offer extra services such as guided tours but I did not use. Room I had was a bit tight/small but my daughter and I managed. If there was any advice I would give the hotel is an improvement on their breakfast which was limited and basic. For this reason I would recommend anybody wanting to stay at this hotel to opt out of breakfast and eat at one of the restaurants on your doorstep. Overall I would recommend this hotel - small but clean, safe, friendly and good value.

Disgustingly Racist and a Rip-off

I checked in and a male friend who was to show me the city; came with me to my room to discuss our plans for an evening out around the city. The duty manager told me that I was not allowed to have anyone in my room as I booked a single.

My mate was not staying with me; he was there to discuss our plans for an evening out.

The duty manager said “you dirty Jew b******s can get stuffed”. He said ‘this is not Hotel rule just my rule just for Jews”.

I was disgusted by his attitude and I checked out immediately and said I would make a complaint.

Disappointing

Just finished my stay at the Aybar hotel and if I could sum it up in one word it would be disappointing. I stayed here for 4 nights.

Let's start with the first day, the location of the hotel is very good, a couple of minutes away from the tram line and a stones throw away from most of the attractions, when I arrived at the hotel and given my key card, I went up to my room and it was nothing like the pictures. The room is small and very basic. There's no balcony and the room is very dull and unappealing. The bed was reasonably comfortable and shower was very nice. Basic amenities were supplied.

Now moving on to the BIGGEST problem! The air conditioning in the room does not work! Keep in mind that Istanbul is currently seeing temperatures over 30 degrees Celsius! The temperature gauge to control the fan would work but the fan itself would not cool the room at all, in fact it was cooler outside than inside my room. So on the first night at 23:30 I went down to reception to see if I could change room because I honestly could not sleep in the heat and that is no exaggeration. I was told by reception to come back in half hour to see the manager, I returned where I was told that the manager is still not here but to go back to my room because the air conditioning would be fine in 10 mins. So I returned to my room, and the air conditioning didn't start to work but it was nearly 1 in the morning, I was tired and just couldn't be bothered so I went to sleep.

Very close to some nice restaurants in the old city as well as a convenient walk to some of the top tourist attractions of the city including the Grand Bazaar, Blue Mosque and Sofia Museum. It's also about a 30 min walk to the north side of town where it's a bit hipster and new. The tram is also a very easy walking distance. The hotel itself is clean and comfortable.
