Abella Hotel - Special Class Reviews

La chambre était minuscule, pas assez d'espace pour nos deux valises. Pareil pour la couverture pas assez grande pour deux. Pas d'eau chaude au lavabo. L'électricité sautait sans cesse à cause d'un faux contact jusqu'à ce que le compteur soit calé avec un mouchoir .... Très bruyant, on entendait passer les voitures comme si on dormait dans la rue. Des coups de fil ont été passer de notre chambre quand nous n'étions pas là. Le seul point positif, la belle vue sur la mosquée bleue lors du petit déjeuner et le personnel est très sympatique ainsi que l'emplacement!

Very helpful staff Breakfast quality can be improved

We booked through Expedia for about $177/night and requested King bed and 2 single beds. It was mentioned that this included a free breakfast, and a "First floor apartment". Instead, we were given a basement apartment which was very shabbily maintained, has a musty odor with a bad smell, no ventilation. It had the beds we requested but really a dump. Furniture was horrible, and extremely old. Bathroom did not even have soap, and stunk. What made it worse was that the hotel then raised the price when we were checking in stating that their prices had increased, refused to give us breakfast because they claimed it was not part of the reservation. We demanded another room and were given instead a single room where 2 adults and 3 children had to squeeze into. That room was better but only a small room with barely any walking room

It's good experience I will go back again to see more places . I might stay in the same hotel .

Over all good experience. Better if they would accept card payment without charging.

i had a pleasant experience, after arriving to istanbul from ankara on a late afternoon, i was welcomed by the hotel attendants warmly and i had a good rest later that evening. they kept my room clean and left my personal belongings untouched. the view above the hotel is spectacular, perfect sight while eating your breakfast buffet. the hotel located conveniently within the old city and in a short distance from major tourist spots like hagia sophia, blue mosque, topkapi palace and other major and minor historic sites. it is also close to sultanahmet tramway station, if you are on a budget and would like to explore the city, you can always try the metro system. it is the best budget hotel that cost less and much to offer.

Good location once you find it. Get perfect directions from the metro stop because the hotel staff gives basic directions so it takes some time to find this hotel. Once your there the location is good close to the blue mosque and hippodome.

This small hotel is perfectly situated to visit the best-known historic sites. And from our window we had a lovely view of the Blue Mosque. The highlight of the hotel is the roof breakfast room/restaurant - fabulous views in all four directions of the Mosque, the Sea of Marmara, and even the top halves of the obelisks on the hippodrome. The views are stunning! Breakfast was very good with lots of bread, olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, white cheese, olive paste, hard cheese, and varying mixed vegetable dishes eggplant with tomatoes was delicious!). Nescafe seems to be a Turkish norm. We also had a dinner of iskender kabab, which we enjoyed. But the room: It was very small and a challenge for two large people with multiple suitcases to keep from stumbling over our stuff and each other. But I'd go back again.

Excellently placed for the main sights and good value for money. The only downside was a neighbours TV on until 1am one night. We really enjoyed breakfast on the roof top with stunning views.
