Hotel Spectra Sultanahmet

Very nice staff, attended to all our needs. Big breakfast. Great location. Comfortable rooms. The restaurant has reasonable prices.

The location was fabulous. Close to walk to all the major sites. Finding good restaurants was easy. The staff was very helpful with any recommendations. They recommended a Turkish bath that was unforgettable experience. And the breakfast was amazing!

We did not know about how to travel by train to arrive.

There's nothing that I didn't like. They were so welcoming and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. Shout out to yasin who upgraded us to a room with a view at no extra cost. Made you feel like family.

The only superb thing about this hotel is its location and proximity to Sultanahmet and the Blue Mosque/ Aya Sofia area.

The hotel was undergoing major work outside on the pavement where it was all being dug up this blocked off entrance and exit to the hotel. The side walkway was equally being disrupted which made it a major health and safety issue for my aged family member. There was cement/ water all over the outside area of the hotel and the noise of drilling/ cement mixing was equally off putting. The room was fine but the bathrooms are incredibly small. To top off the two days we stayed, the fact is we had no access to any or stable wifi as the cables were also being dug. My point is clear- the hotel management were then duty bound to inform residents of this major disruption but failed to do so. Instead, the stay was not pleasurable as access to and from the hotel was a major obstacle. The owner was a lovely man who did apologise profusely but this didnt help our stay. Yasin and front desk was lovely but that is all. Even with the renovations done and wifi- I would only stay here for the location- the rest , relaxation and service is not part of this hotels management. I wont be staying at this place ever again.
