Fresh breakfast daily, except for pastries which are rotated out each day. Staff is super friendly—honestly like most people here! Walkable to main spots, with convenience stores a block away and restaurants right around the corner.

Big win: we could fully open two checked luggages in the room—main reason we booked. Most places were either way pricier or way too tight to move around comfortably.

Avoid like the plague

The hotel is run down and filthy. The beds are hard and the sheets are so dry and scratchy. It was the worst stay I’ve ever had. We checked out early because the conditions were so bad and they refused to refund us for the nights we weren’t staying. Even though I booked a refundable room. It’s a bad hotel. Location is okay. Close to the main attractions. But the room was so bad it was terrible. We moved across town and it was much better.

It was the best location and only 2min walk to the blue mosque and everything else. Staff was friendly however never really gave any good recommendations for anything and push to sell packages they promoted in the hotel which isn’t right as those packages are overpriced in euros. Also the room was cleaned everyday by the cleaners who never changed the sheets over the 5days we stayed. Lastly walls are super thin and we could there Lot if noise from the corridor at 3/4am At night

nice view from the suite but service need more att

We booked the suite- the largest room in the hotel, the view from the room was nice but we felt isolated from the hotel as the suite was on the roof next to the terrace and the bar. The service was okay, but one day we had to sleep without enough blankets because the cleaning stuff took our blankets and the reception mentioned that they don’t have any blankets left !
We struggled with the shower but they repaired within two days. Apart from that we got what we asked for within few minutes like water etc...
The hotel is located on a very sharp uphill and is far from Sultanahmet tram station.
Receptionists are so nice and helpful, they speak good English.

The rooms were cute and stylish but weren't exceptionally clean. However, you need to factor in the return on investment, and this place has it. It is in walking distance from all the things you want to see...and it's less than five minutes. Overall, my family was very happy with their stay and we would stay here again in the future.

Our time at the delightfil Antis Hotel

All the staff were extremely polite, helpful and accommodating. They did their best to make our 9 days stay very comfortable. The 3 concierges were professional and always went the extra mile to assist us.
The wifi options on all floors was definitely a plus.

Whilst our bedding and towels were changed daily, it would have been great if our room had been swept and dusted as well.

I wish they would replace the orange squash served at breakfast with fresh fruit juices. They should also consider adding some fresh fruits.

The bar in the lobby and the rooftop terrace are under utilised. My son was upset when he was asked to leave the rooftop terrace where he was relaxing and enjoying fresh air on our last night.

We felt very safe in the hotel though, and would recommend it.

Good hotel

The hotel is old but it is clean. For the price paid and to be so close to main sights in Istanbul, the hotel was good. The heating worked really well, needed to open a window, and water was hot. Beds were clean but a bit firm for my liking. Breakfast was very good, had a nice variety, and it was included in price. WiFi great. So if you're on a budget and visiting for history, culture and want to be close to sights, this is a good place to stay. If you want a romantic get away, I do not recommend this hotel.

Not a total disaster, but dangerously close!

Stayed here for 3 nights, and overall was not happy at all. Would not recommend this hotel to anyone, until some major changes are made.

- Staff: Not bad. They tried to help, but the attitude was not pleasant. Reluctant to help out with issues.
- Hotel: VERY VERY noisy. There is absolutely no privacy. If next door someone is talking on the phone, I could hear everything. It is right next to the railroad too! So trains go by at all hours and it's very annoying.
- Room: Upon entry, three lightbulbs were burned out (this was a Deluxe room, mind you). Hotel staff changed 2 of them, but the third, they did not. Rooms are small, and as I said very noisy. Bed is ridiculously small for a King size bed.
- Breakfast: OK at best. Very limited fruit selection and bad quality at that.

Overall: Stay away from here if you're looking for a relaxing, noise-less, pleasant experience. Honestly, the train noise and sounds from other rooms will drive you mad.

Simple and quiet hotel in convenient location

We had a nice experience as a couple in Istanbul. The hotel is situated on a slope in the back streets of Sultanahmet area about 6-7 minute (leisurely) walk from the Blue Mosque. The hotel was simple; the rooms were Ok ( I think e probably had a small room) and clean. The staff were courteous and polite and quick to respond to our requests. The air conditioning was good! We needed it for the warm nights (and days). About 3-4 minute walk away from the hotel was Kennedy Street which is right by the water with beautiful views of the Bosporus sea. We had lovely views of the Blue Mosque when we went up to the roof top to relax in the evening and enjoy a cool drink.

Nice place to stay but be careful...

We stayed in this hotel due to being close to all the attractions in old Istanbul (Sultanahmit). Price is reasonable but beware not to use the mini bar from the room or ask hotel to book airport transfer as it will cost you a bomb.

Otherwise, Istanbul is must place to visit. it is truly combination of east and west civilisation. Lots of walking but worth it. Food is cheap and nice. Make sure to try local Turkish food, especially Testi Kebab and Doner Kebab.

Also, try Night cruise Bosphorus sea boat trip. worth the money

Take some lira with you but exchange the rest in Turkey for good rate.

Careful of doggy carpet seller and book your trips from reputable travel shops. Do not buy anything from passer-by person selling from trips to carpets to everything.

The hotel provided everything that we needed - a warm welcome, comfortable and clean room, good breakfast and a roof terrace with a spectacular view. The staff were very friendly and helpful - my friend's bag didn't make it to Istanbul with us and when we asked if we could use their phone at reception to phone the airport lost luggage office they did this all for us to make life easier. The room had everything that we needed and when the shower head started leaking they changed this without us even mentioning it. The selection at breakfast catered for most tastes and we looked forward to breakfast every morning. Overall a great place for a long break (we stayed four nights).

The staff were exceptional. They were very friendly and could not do enough to help. Sorted out some good tours for us and managed to change the time of a ticket we had previously booked through Expedia.

A clean & comfortable place to stay

This was my second stay in this hotel. It is clean, comfortable place to park oneself. Walking distances to major attractions. Ersin at reception was especially helpful. It is a clean, no frills option.

Good support staff, Rooms1Star at best

We had two adjacent very small rooms. Front desk staff is courteous and try their best to sell you tour deals from the get go. Prices are cleverly noted in Euros on the menu instead of Turkish Lira. Noise-proofing appears non existent. Bring ear plugs. When I complained about broken bed spring and resultant hole in the bed the very first night, the attendant accused me of sitting on the bed heavily and declined to do anything about it, declaring on my face that the bed was ' perfect'?? I slept on a broken spring bed for 6 nights. Room was NOT vacuumed during my stay. Shower stall routinely water clogged, had to wait during showers to let it slowly drain. Good breakfast. 4star rating!! That is a joke! Expedia take this hotel off your ranking, if at all , give one star rating. I am not sure what drives your rating?

Very good hotel in Sultanahmet

Very friendly and helpful staff; excellent breakfasts (no other meals, but snacks on request). The only thing I didn't expect is that it's on a very steep hill, which gave me some difficulty (sticks/wheelchair user) and also caused problems for cabs in snow. Others have commented that rooms can be noisy: they were very warm, even in Feb snow and with radiator off, and if the window's ajar you can hear the whir of CH/AC motors. However, I'd say the location and the great staff make up for any quibbles about noise. There's also a wonderful restaurant immediately opposite: very cheap, good Turkish food, friendly owners.

Ideal location, beautiful decor, pleasant staff

The Antis is ideally located in the tourist area of Sultanahmet in Istanbul. It is close to an array of Turkish restaurants, traditional stores and antique shops and with a stunning view of the Blue Mosque.

It is a beautiful building with great facilities. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. From the beginning through to the end of our stay, we were made to feel very comfortable, our needs catered to and the staff went to every effort to ensure we made the most of our time in Istanbul.

The rooms are tastefully decorated and the hotel boasts excellent Wifi facilities.

The hotel is situated within a 10 minute walking distance of most of the local tourist attractions, including the Blue mosque, the Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern and Grand Bazaar.

I would not hesitate to stay at the Antis again and would highly recommend this hotel to anybody who wishes to enjoy a pleasant and relaxing stay in Istanbul.
