Good

Very good, in a nice, quieter part of İstanbul. (Please note, İstanbul is not quite, but this area is not as busy as other parts). The hotel is opposite a cargo shop. And they start making noise from 7am. Hotel is in a great location, within walking distance of all the sites. The roads outside are not flat. So not wheelchair or pushchair friendly. We had 3 rooms. The safe in one didn’t work and the a/c in a different one didn’t work. The hotel resolved the issues by the second day. Breakfast is small, but nice. It’s a Turkish breakfast, with cooked eggs charged extra (5euros). Spa is quite expensive. 70euros for 1 hour hammam.

The LOCATION of Aprillis Gold, emersed in history!

We were fortunate to be in Istanbul both pre and post touring other areas of beautiful Turkey. The staff at this hotel are very professional, helpful with sightseeing, restaurants, transportation. I commend Smiles for easy name recollection. All the staff in housekeeping, breakfast and reception went out of thei way to make this our home during our three day stay. Wonderful. The reservation included breakfast that offered a broad number of Turkish and European food selections. Hot soup and multiple vegetable salads were an extra bonus. The LOCATION of Aprillis Gold emersed us in history. Just two short blocks, uphill, to the trolley. Narrow streets are closed during the daytime to cars. During daytime hours, taxi pickup is just one block downhill, or two blocks away, walk right on the street fronting the hotel. A grocery and wine store is one block to the right, same street. We enjoyed two meals at Glass, just across the street with colorful lights in red, yellow, and blue. Soups, meze spreads, lamb with dried fruit, vegetables sautéed in mild curry, pizza, generous wine pours. A bit pricey, excellent preparation, attentive service. Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Underground Basicalla Cistern, Muslim Art Museum on the Hippadrome walkway, Topkapi Castle complex, Museum of Mathematics and Science are all nearby. The Spice Market and Grand Bazaar are each about 15 minutes away.

The location is excellent for visiting historic İstanbul, with easy access to the tram and walking distance from major Byzantine and Ottoman monuments. The breakfast was good and the room was clean with powerful AC for a hot, humid summer visit.

Beautiful city, Great people, Clean hotel

Extremely positive experience. We got an upgrade without expecting/asking for one. The entire staff was very courteous and friendly. We had coffee with Ismael who was extremely helpful in not just meeting all our needs but also in suggesting places to visit and arranging transportation. Would definitely stay at again if we go to Istanbul.

Unfortunately we stay 8 night there, they give us not the same room we booked, 2 beds instead of one king bed with my wife. However they make us trouple at the 1st day, they said its fully booked and you cant stay here for the 1st night after negotiation they send us to other hotel from their groups, we got a stupid small room with no windows. I have to announce they didnot change the breakfast varieties 6 days the same except the last 2 days of my checkout they add different foods. Honestly, it was the first bad lucky hotel in istanbul. The hotel should be rated no more than 6/10 ONLY.
