Very convenient location, good breakfast. Staff helped arrange airport shuttles. Rooms were clean, but very small. No where to even put two open suitcases. Not the hotel's fault but there was loud, late night construction in the adjacent building.

Great for staying in Istambul.

Clean and friendly staff. Centrally located just a walk away from all three major attractions must visit for every tourist. Very quiet room and clean.

Nice quiet room. Very helpful staff.
Very good buffet breakfast and Ira was a really good host in the breakfast room each morning. We were there for six nights and each morning we were greeted with a big smile from Ira and the staff at breakfast. Does this girl ever have a day off? She was still there each evening!! Long hours!!
Excellent stay with location very good for sight seeing and shopping and eating.

Best Service Hotel

It was a good place to stay. The staff, Demirie, Irada and all others were wonderful, friendly, helped us and guided us in many aspects.
They did everything they could. While i have read few reviews from past guests, I feel most those reviews that complained seemed not valid as the guests should understand that the owners, the staff try to do best to accomodate different types of people. It is difficult to meet everyone's needs but I saw everything good.

Likes: Beautiful large room, large balcony with wicker table and chairs set, very clean, couldn't have asked for a betted location, great shopping (even with the Grand Bazaar closed for Eid)

Dislikes: Bathroom very small and cramped, dated and in need of some TLC, wasn't really a lobby as such, due to its location felt more like walking into a shop

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this hotel, and I can confidently say it was one of the best hospitality experiences we’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to ensure every detail of our stay was comfortable and stress-free.

The service throughout the hotel was top-notch — friendly, attentive, and always with a smile. Every request was met promptly, and we genuinely felt valued as a guest.

A special shoutout goes to Murat, our driver, who was absolutely fantastic. He was punctual, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about the area. Murat made our transportation seamless and added a personal touch that made a big difference. His warm personality and helpfulness truly stood out.

Highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a stay that combines comfort, excellent service, and a personal touch. I’ll definitely be returning!

Great Hotel, professional ans superb hospitality

From my check-in to check-out everything was great. I’ve arrived very early at the hotel, Mr Kamuran was at the reception (hotel manager) he welcomed me with a great smile, his very friendly and professional. Mr Kamuran has offered me to upgraded my room for free of charge 🙏. Breakfast at hotel is a traditional Turkish breakfast, you can’t go wrong with Turkish breakfast anyway. My room was quite big with balcony, really nice and clean. During my stay every single hotel staff was asking me if there was anything more they could do. Hotel is at a very central location, it’s walking distance to all amenities, Hagia Sophia mosque, blue mosque and topkapi place is 5 mins walking distance, public transport (tram) is 5 mins walking distance, grand bazaar is walking distance too. Most of hotel staff speaks English, some speak Russian and Arabic as well, it’s easy to communicate. I like to thank all hotel staff for their great hospitality and professional service. Speacial thanx to Mr Kamuran

Very basic hotel with clean bedrooms & bathrooms. We booked a family suite which consisted of 2 bedrooms next door to eachother, with a sliding door to separate the 2 rooms from the rest of the hotel rooms, which was convenient as we could leave the doors open while still in the hotel to move around the rooms easily.
The only negative I had was the bathroom walls were made of obscured glass and the door didnt have a look, so there was no privacy in the WC/Shower.

The breakfast was continental breakfast, so wasnt fancy but they had a nice variety of fresh foods. We all madesure to eat a full breakfast and were satisfied with what we had.

Absolutely amazing area, as walking distance to all the main attractions, tram, train station, bus station. Loved it.
Istanbul is my favourite city in the world and with this hotel I fell in love with it even more.
Definitely will return soon

The room on the top floor with a view on Hagia Sophia was very comfortable. Breakfast was great too. But what made our stay in Istanbul truly memorable and hassle-free was our host Dmitry. Dmitry helped us a lot with advice on places to visit, ways to get around the city, and a bunch of little things that are confusing to foreign visitors.

The facility is too old. The common area including the breakfast area, the reception, the walkways, the elevator are all not ventilated or air conditioned. The rooms are too tight and very small. It is only one access key to the room that has three people making very inconvenient to go outside and return independently. The people are nice but working within very limited resources making it difficult to help their guests professionally and in an acceptable way. I regret staying at this hotel. The only positive thing about a it’s location.

It’s value for money but don’t expect much. Room was sparse, bare bones, some stains in the toilet. Little sound proofing. But the location is great, right in the heart of beautiful places to visit and breakfast is available. About 1.5-2h from Istanbul Airport by public transport, or 50€ for the hotel’s airport transfer.

My wife and I had a wonderful week at the Albatros Hagia Sophia. Our room with balcony was spacious, clean, and well-appointed, including refrigerator. The buffet breakfast was varied, and the restaurant service was excellent. The hotel’s staff were terrific—friendly, helpful, and always responsive. The location in Sultanahmet could not have been better—only a few minutes walk from the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern, Topkapi Palace, Gulhane Park, the Bosphorous, annd other attractions. There are numerous and varied restaurants, cafes, markets, and shops in the neighborhood. All in all, it was the perfect place to anchor ourselves in incredible Istanbul.

Sent me to a cheaper and worse hotel!

I arrived to the hotel being closed for fumigation! I was taken to another hotel, nowhere near as nice and they charged me the same amount of money for a room which was clearly inferior. Honestly, I wouldn't approach this hotel with a bargepole.

The manager and staff are very friendly, accommodating, and overall very helpful in explaining things about the city and what to watch out for.
The breakfast is a little repetitive but they have a decent amount of options to choose from. The coffee is pretty good and the view is nice from the dining roof deck.
The rooms themselves are relatively clean with some quirks like squeaky doors or some minor smell from the plumbing fixtures, but the air conditioning is good. The bathrooms are a little small, but that's the norm with boutique hotels. The beds were comfortable, and I had no problems getting a good night of uninterrupted sleep.
The location is in a good spot for access to historical sites, the grand bazaar, and a bunch of restaurants. Walking the city at night is a safe and totally different experience than in the day, especially in this area.
Overall I would recommend this hotel and staff for any first timers to istanbul.

the front desk guy (night shift) used my credit card, i reported it to my bank and then to the manager but they did not do anything about it. it was a terrible experience. my advice: cover the 3 digit code with black marker. Once they have all the info, your card can be used as soon as you check out. OR if you can turn on/off your card, do it ! terrible experience in Istanbul. We only stayed in one hotel here in Istanbul, only at Albatros Hagia Sophia. Im wondering if the manager is in connivance with the front desk attendant.
