Ada Hotel Istanbul

This is a really good place to stay. They let us check in early which was great because we were so jet lagged and worn out! The place is clean and quiet. They go out of their way to make you comfortable and get you anything you need. Only criticism would be they don’t have ice. But that is very common is Istanbul. I would definitely stay here again.

Overall it was good value for the location with a hot tub in the room which had a sea view on the fourth floor. It was by the lift but we didn’t once have any noise from it over 5 nights. The aircon was efficient and quiet. The king size mattress was big enough for my height of 1.9m but the duvet was a bit narrow. Just had to sleep closer to my wife. :-) It was relatively quiet at night and the first call to prayer wasn’t as loud as during the day, which was good. Hotel is only a few hundred meters from the Blue Mosque and Sultanahmet square so that was very handy. Breakfast was ok, but after 2 days my wife ended up skipping it as all the food was cold, unless you went early to get the warm egg bread and omelettes when they were served. The tap on the hot tub was loose but didn’t prevent it from being used, it operated well. The bonus was having a fridge in the room which Staff were friendly. Try the Dimbil restaurant down the hill for tasty food at much lower prices as they don’t serve alcohol. They have their own oven to make their bread for starters and Pide. They have a cool terrace upstairs. I had 2 shaves at Aperva down the hill too, only 400TL for the shave only, friendly guy. There’s a cheap A101 supermarket in that road too.

Very spacious along with all the amenities. Felt like I'm home.

2nd time back in two weeks. Ada Hotel is the best!
