8/10 Very Good

Very basic hotel with clean bedrooms & bathrooms. We booked a family suite which consisted of 2 bedrooms next door to eachother, with a sliding door to separate the 2 rooms from the rest of the hotel rooms, which was convenient as we could leave the doors open while still in the hotel to move around the rooms easily. The only negative I had was the bathroom walls were made of obscured glass and the door didnt have a look, so there was no privacy in the WC/Shower. The breakfast was continental breakfast, so wasnt fancy but they had a nice variety of fresh foods. We all madesure to eat a full breakfast and were satisfied with what we had. Absolutely amazing area, as walking distance to all the main attractions, tram, train station, bus station. Loved it. Istanbul is my favourite city in the world and with this hotel I fell in love with it even more. Definitely will return soon

The room on the top floor with a view on Hagia Sophia was very comfortable. Breakfast was great too. But what made our stay in Istanbul truly memorable and hassle-free was our host Dmitry. Dmitry helped us a lot with advice on places to visit, ways to get around the city, and a bunch of little things that are confusing to foreign visitors.

4/10 Fair

The facility is too old. The common area including the breakfast area, the reception, the walkways, the elevator are all not ventilated or air conditioned. The rooms are too tight and very small. It is only one access key to the room that has three people making very inconvenient to go outside and return independently. The people are nice but working within very limited resources making it difficult to help their guests professionally and in an acceptable way. I regret staying at this hotel. The only positive thing about a it’s location.

We really loved our experience in this property. All the staff members and specially the manager Mr. Dimitri were very helpful and friendly. They all have a smile on their faces. The location is amazing close to many historical attractions, trains, shopping and the Bosphore. We recommend this hotel and we will come back to it.

It’s value for money but don’t expect much. Room was sparse, bare bones, some stains in the toilet. Little sound proofing. But the location is great, right in the heart of beautiful places to visit and breakfast is available. About 1.5-2h from Istanbul Airport by public transport, or 50€ for the hotel’s airport transfer.

The location for a "walking" vacation was excellent! All staff seemed friendly, but Dimetry at the front desk was there to offer suggestions and help with any little questions. All around a great experience here.

My wife and I had a wonderful week at the Albatros Hagia Sophia. Our room with balcony was spacious, clean, and well-appointed, including refrigerator. The buffet breakfast was varied, and the restaurant service was excellent. The hotel’s staff were terrific—friendly, helpful, and always responsive. The location in Sultanahmet could not have been better—only a few minutes walk from the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern, Topkapi Palace, Gulhane Park, the Bosphorous, annd other attractions. There are numerous and varied restaurants, cafes, markets, and shops in the neighborhood. All in all, it was the perfect place to anchor ourselves in incredible Istanbul.
