Good location, needs a facelift
The hotel gave us a warm welcome, and every interaction with staff was positive. The decor has been left with a bit of repair needing; the carpet on the stairs is frayed, the wallpaper in the room is peeling.
There is no bar and it looks like if you want room service it’s provided by an external company with a small range.
Excellent property and location in the historical centre. However, there are challenging transportation options to visit attractions other than those centrally located.
Great staff from front desk, F&B to housekeeping...
The only issue I had was that torturing breakfast music, the same 5-6 songs keep repeating for 3 hours, day after day...Oh my God and we stayed there for 2 weeks.
We'll definitely go back, but for god sake play some nice turkish music, instead of Miley Cyrus and "California Dreaming "...
Fantastic hotel with a lovely spa and the terrace was one of the best parts of the holiday. Fairly conveniently located with only a 10-15 minute walk from the main sites of historic Istanbul. lovely restaurant options near by and fantastic staff. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to stay in Istanbul

The staff were nothing short of amazing. The hotel is very comfortable and is in a great location. We have already recommended this hotel to others.
The rooms in the photos are of the best rooms they have. Double / twin rooms are VERY small. Most rooms were refurbished with cheap materials: the bed boards you see in photos exists in half the rooms, the once wooden floor are now made of paper. Also, both saunas were not working.
And, the receptionist lied there were no more rooms available to show when the hotels site was showing 8.
The Hotel staffs were great and helpful but nothing works at the hotel, rooms were extra small with no working air conditioning, the SPA and gym were close. The power was out every day and no water to shower or use the bathroom at times. Hotel need major repairs and it was a complete disaster.
Absoloutely wonderful hotel. The hotel is in a prime spot to walk to major attractions and also beautiful parks, shops and restaurants. This was our second stay in 10 days, the latter being due to missed flight connection. We did not hesitate in returning to the hotel and the staff went out of their way to accommodate us. Special thanks to Fatih, Yunus and Yusuf who helped us immensely to get comfortable before returning home. Highly recommended and I'm sure we'll return again.
Staff were accomadating. We asked if we can have our rooms changed as the one we were given had a room with a view of a school building. The staff moved us the next day to the other side.
Close to the blue Mosque, Aya Sofiya Cistern and Grand bazaar. Do need to take taxi to Bosphoros. Good cheap dining - staying close to other areas the costs are more for everything!
This was our second stay at this hotel the first was about 8 years ago. We chose it again because of the location, easy walking distance to all the sites in the old city and the restaurants. The hotel is a lovely place and they have a great small indoor pool, hammam and sauna, great for relaxing after a day of walking the old city visiting the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, Grand Bazaar and the Basilica Cistern and more. The staff are great and very helpful and always ready to assist, great people the Turkish. We highly recommend the Antea Palace Hotel & Spa.
