Aprilis Hotel - Special Category

We liked the reception staff, the location was great. We used to enjoy spending time drinking tea on the deck

Wonderful location and great breakfast. The staff were amazing! We were especially grateful to Hotel employee.

Staff and his entire staff went out of their way to help us! They are amazing!!!

This hotel is located in the heart of the city. All the fun things are just a few minutes walk away from the hotel. All the staff are very helpful and they planned the whole trip for us. We never had to go anywhere looking for the tours. Ibrahim, Ercan, Arad and the other employees were super helpful. Breakfast was delicious. Room number 502 and 503 are the best rooms of the hotel with a beautiful sea view and do not miss the massage at the hotel. We had a lovely stay.

Great location walking distance from many attractions. The staff was super nice and extra helpful. The hotel was also very nice.

There was no smart tv in the room so not many options to watch since everything was in Turkish.

Personnel and roof top

Mattress, faulty and noisy ventilation in the bathroom, smell from the bathroom, request for additional pay for room heating

Location and staff were perfect. The breakfast was good.

Breakfast is the same everyday.

Perfect location near the tram stop and walking distance to the cistern, blue mosque, grand bazarr and Hagia Sofia. Lots of restaurant options near by. 50 meters from the tram.

The room was nice and clean. It was hot, but the AC did its job well enough. The location is perfect, the Blue Mosque or the Grand Bazaar are only a couple of minutes of walk. The hotel has a rooftop bar with a beautiful view. The staff is exceptionally kind and friendly. They helped us with the arrival, with the departure, with public transport information and basically everything we asked. Extra thanks to the waiter in the rooftop bar for the tea and to the morning staff at or departure day for all the kind help and the sandwiches. ?

The room had no real window, just a relatively small one to an inner chamber with artificial lighting. It was no issue for us, but for a longer stay we would pick another room. Ask before booking is my advice.

Location, services

I think they must install security bars in the shower for older people, the system to call the elevator didn’t work on the 4 floor

The location was excellent! Walking distance to most of the major monuments. The staff at the hotel were amazing...friendly, helpful and quick to respond

We really dont have any complaints about this place. It was perfect for what we were looking for and we were happy.

The location of April’s hotel is ideal to explore old Istanbul. I was pleasantly surprised about how being in such a central location in the middle of all the action and facing the street, our room was super quiet and we could barely hear anything from outside. The breakfast was delicious! An assortment of breads, cheeses, cold cuts, typically Turkish and so plentiful! I especially recommend the croissants, cookies and banana bread, all baked in house. There is a tram stop to the T1 line really close to the hotel. Public transport is easy to understand and convenient to venture further afield in Istanbul, so we found this a definite perk of the hotel.The whole staff at April’s is super friendly. The people at reception helped us book transfers to the airport and offered support to connect to the Wifi. The cleaning staff were very accommodating when we were coming in and out of the room.The terrace at Aprilis is breezy and has an amazing view over the Sea of Marmara. We were a bit hesitant about the Wifi connection at April’s (based on reviews) and were pleasantly surprised that steps have been taken to solve this and make it a reliable service. No complaints on this front.

The only negative thing (if any) I would have to say is that our flight was quite late and we requested to use the room for a few more hours free of charge but were refused, even though the hotel was quite empty. We got an extra hour though and hung out at the lovely terrace and charged our devices there!

Staff were excellent. Could not not enough for you. Room was good except for very small shower. Excellent location. Breakfast was good.

Very small shower. Our "double" bed was 2 singles pushed together and had a ridge in the middle which was very uncomfortable.

Staff was very kind, the room was spacious, and the bed was comfy. Nice balcony with the room. Rooftop bar has great views. Hotel is very close to Blue Mosque/Hagia Sofia.Food wise its really good, lot of options sweet and salty.

Breakfast drinks could be better. The coffee and orange juice is terrible. (They serve proper turkish coffee at the rooftop bar tho)Lights in the room were pretty bad, had to turn up all of them so we could see.Coat hanger and a mirror would be a nice addition to the rooms.

rooftop terrace is a great place to sit and look out over the Bosphorous. Staff was very friendly and helpful

No view, but we weren't paying for a view

Great location, clean and comfortable. Facilities are there, but gym was small and pretty basic.

WiFi didn’t always work in the roomLights in the room could have been a little brighter Control of the air conditioning could work better

The sudden rush of heat in the middle of the night

The staff was wonderful, location excellent and room comfortable.
