Although I rank Avicenna a s a good hotel, it is not suitable for the elderly unless they are assured of a room on the ground floor as there are no lifts.
Really dirty and horrible hotel. Would not recommend to use this hotel for pets let alone for human beings.
Yellow water coming from bathroom basin and toilet and shower.
Floors to the hotel room were sticky and dirty.
We stayed at 4 hotels in Türkiye due to travel and Avecinna was by far the best. The breakfast’s were delicious and well presented. The front desk was helpful, kind, and accommodating. The concierge by the name of Bilal was especially helpful and extended himself far beyond what was expected. We thank Avicenna for a delightful stay.
This is now my third time at this hotel and it’s huge attraction is its situation so close to to the historical centre. As I get older I regret that it has no lift, but in all other respects it met my needs very well.
Hotel is not clean and dusty we have checked in and went to the room was no clean at all so we had to request to change our room second is that okay but it was not clean.
I would not go back to this hotel again and I wouldn’t recommend

Needs improvement
We stayed one night and it happened to be a Saturday night. They did not inform us that there will be live music in the evening in the restaurant just above our room. The noise was unbearable. They finished at 12 o clock midnight and then started the cleaning process which included dragging tables and chairs and the sorting out of glasses and plates, which made an additional two hours of noise, so at 2 a.m we could successfully fall asleep. We had to check out early next morning, so the whole experience was unpleasant and stressful. The staff was polite and helpful, breakfast was good too. The bed sheet is a bit too small for two people. It got cold in the middle of the night and we found out that there was no no additional blanket. The air conditioner had no battery so we couldn’t use it either.
I didn't like the room, it was small,
the staff was not friendly at all. They litellery gave us dead stare when we would come and go... Also, the AC did not work well. It had a lot of loud noise which caused me sleepless nights. Over all I would not recoomned this hotel.
Also they didn't let us use the Terras for breakfast and made us eat in the dungen which was extremely hot
Poca limpieza, debajo de la cama estaba demasiado sucio. La regadera (shower) estaba rota por un lado y no se podía sostener, nosotros la teníamos que sostener.
I stayed in this hotel in July 2019 and Picked up the same hotel with intention they will treat us the same way as before. The room initially they offered vs what we have booked was not good at all, we had to pay extra to get the room we were looking for.
Most of the staff were helpful other than one of the member which were pretty rude.
The breakfast is not very good option as they say free breakfast but they charge extra for everything if you need coffee, water or Omelet.
I stayed 10 days in hotel but after this year experience I will never stay in this hotel.
