Avicenna Hotel Sultanahmet

Location good. Efficient reception. Bags carried and help to locate atm. Comfortable bed and plenty of hot water.

Disappointed with no fruit at breakfast. I have never found that in any other hotel. Our room was not serviced on Sunday. Basic provision eg no milk for tea available in room.

Friendly helpful staff. Great location.

Nothing

Our two-night stay at Avicenna Hotel in Istanbul was fine, but unremarkable. The superior room was smaller than expected, with just one chair and a stool. The balcony was a good size, and we enjoyed using it once the day cooled down. Thankfully, the air conditioning worked very well, and the firm mattress was comfortable. Light sleepers may want earplugs, as corridor noise from people coming and going was audible throughout the night. The varied breakfast was adequate. The hotel appears to have once been quite grand, but it now feels tired and worn. Its greatest advantage is the location, which is within walking distance of everything.

We were disappointed by Kazim’s attitude at check-out. Although our account had been paid through Booking.com four days earlier, he insisted we settle it again, printed a copy of the bill, and forcefully asked whether we would pay by cash or card. Only after I showed the transaction on my phone did he check with Booking.com and back down. No apology was offered, which left a sour impression.
