Avlonya Hotel

The location is great, rooms are bright and clean, utilities work well, the breakfast was excellent, everything was hot and ready. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

I have just returned from my sixth trip to Istanbul, and every single time I have stayed at Avlonya Hotel. I think it already says a lot about a hotel when a guest keeps coming back to the same place. Still, I would like to share my personal experience. Location In my opinion, the hotel’s location is excellent, especially for those who rely on public transportation. Yenikapı Metro Station is only a two-minute walk away, with access to the M2, M1A, M1B metro lines and the Marmaray. The M2 line provides easy access to Taksim Square and Şişli and also connects to the M11 metro line serving Istanbul Airport (IST). The M1 line offers convenient access to Esenler Bus Terminal (Esenler Otogarı). With the Marmaray, you can quickly reach the Asian side of the city, including Üsküdar, and it is also easy to get to Aqua Florya. The T1 tram stop is just a few minutes away as well. From there, you can easily visit the Grand Bazaar (Kapalı Çarşı), Sultanahmet Square, Hagia Sophia (Ayassofya Camii), Topkapı Palace, the Blue Mosque (Sultanahmet Cami) , as well as Karaköy and Kabataş. The surrounding area has everything a traveler might need: affordable supermarkets such as BİM and A101, pharmacies, currency exchange offices (Deniz), and many local restaurants serving (Lokantası) delicious Turkish food at reasonable prices. Every Wednesday, the famous Fatih Market (Fatih Pazar) one of Istanbul’s largest open-air markets—is held nearby. The Hotel Breakfast is included in the room rate. It is a traditional Turkish buffet breakfast with a good selection of food. During the high season, when I stayed there, they even served fresh melon and a variety of desserts. The rooms are equipped with a TV, air conditioning, a safe, a refrigerator, and a shower. The beds are comfortable, and the rooms are clean and well maintained. Personally, I usually spent very little time in the hotel apart from mornings and evenings, so I did not have high expectations. What mattered most to me was cleanline

Perhaps more frequent maintenance of the existing room amenities.

Location was very good , room space is very good , cleanliness is very good , breakfast is good , in general it was a very good package compared with rate .

Had visited the hotel in the past and was very good. Now only the staff was good and helpful.

Not clean enough, breakfast was limited, quality goes down
