Abella Hotel - Special Class

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!

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.

Hotel staff are very friendly and helpful, it's a cosy place make feel like home even better when you have your breakfast facing the sea every morning. If my family and I go back to Istanbul again we will definitely check in the same hotel.

For sure expect a 3 stars hotel, but all in all i enjoyed my stay there. very good location, helpfull staff, nice roof, small roof.
