Villa Paradiso Hotel & Spa

Placed closed to the centre.

Breakfast

Nearly All good however I feel I must comment on the breakfast which I found very unusual and inedible. Cold boiled egg, cold chips, tomato and salad. I did complain and they made me an omelette which was equally inedible

As above. I think the manager will remember me - I have to say he did his best though and was very helpful

We had a great time at the property very close to all the attractions

Staff was great especially: Kasım Mollaoğlu And Caner kabakcı

The property is in a very strategic location: very close to the main tourist attractions, yet away from the chaos and tourist traps that surround them. The area itself is also very charming, still preserving many of the low wooden houses of old Istanbul, and it is conveniently close to everything within the Sultanahmet district. The staff are very kind and helpful, and the front desk staff speak English. The rest of the staff speak less English, but we were still able to communicate without any major issues. The breakfast is good, although unfortunately it is set and remains the same every morning.

Although the price I paid for a double room was very low, I am sorry to say that the photos are not entirely true to reality. Perhaps they were taken a few years ago? When I arrived, despite having arranged a late check-in, the room had only been partially prepared. It did not appear particularly clean, and essentials such as water, glasses, and batteries for the remote controls were missing. The most unpleasant aspect, which I regret having to point out, was that the hotel was undergoing extensive renovation works throughout the property, and several areas were affected. During the day, it was impossible to remain in the room because of the noise coming from the rooms above, where heavy construction work was taking place. The inner courtyard was full of construction debris and building materials. Even the hotel spa/sauna area was under renovation and being used to store materials, and on one occasion workers entered the room while we were using the sauna. The breakfast was not bad, but it was always exactly the same and there was no possibility of choosing different options. I also had to ask the housekeeping staff or the front desk for towels every evening after the room had been cleaned, as they regularly forgot to replace them.
