Avicenna Hotel Sultanahmet

The location

Room very very small the pictures give the impression that it is big. They clean the room in the afternoo, the sheets have not be changed at all. Under the bed and around the bed a lot of dust. I think is because of the size of the room.staff do not smi

The location is really what makes this place worth while...and the breakfast was pretty good as well.

The hotel staff is rude...they don't provide an iron in the room so we would request one in the morning (they would take it back while we were gone) and sometimes they would forget. Room a lot smaller than we expected, but maybe that's normal in Turkey.

The staff are very friendly and helpful. The location is great for me.

Location and staff

I did not like it at all

The hotel is located very near some of the attractions in sultanahmet, near the tram and a lot of restaurants. The only setback was that most of the establishment near the area is a but pricy - probably because it is a "tourist" area. Nonetheless it was a good place, be ready to walk uphill lol coz the roads to the attractions and the tram has a lot of uphill / downhill walking (around 10-15 mins max). The staff in the hotel are very friendly, there was this young lady, not sure if I remember the name right, Laura / Lara who is always smiling to greet the guest. My sister enjoyed the breakfast and the view from the restaurant at the top floor. :)

We liked view from our room, it was beautiful! The room was clean and comfortable. The staff were very welcoming and helpful.

Their breakfast options were kinda bland. They don’t have an elevator (after exploring the city all day..it’s hard going up those stairs).

The location is great. Breakfast was very good with a lot of choices.

We were disappointed that we were told we would not be able to store a bag at the hotel for a week while we traveled around the country even though luggage storage was listed on the Booking.com site as a hotel amenity. We had to cancel our return booking and move to an alternate hotel that was able to accommodate our storage needs.I’m sorry that the hotel was not very helpful to us in dealing with this situation.

Lovely building - attractive with nice courtyard. Comfortable room. Lovely quiet location but so central.

The hotel staff was very kind to us when we arrived late in the evening. They gave us some advice on what to do around and how to go around. Cleanliness was ok, the room had a bit of an "old smell", but after you're in it, you eventually get used to it. That might be due to some old-style pillows. Breakfast was included but we were so tired to have it, even tho the staff was nice enough to offer us. Location is great if you're visiting the old town and the Mosques. If you're going further down, I recommend taking a taxi. Have them start the meter straight away when you get into the car. Overall, our stay at Avicenna was very pleasant and met our expectations.

Little bit of "old smell" in the room.

Very friendly and helpful staff, substantial breakfast and great location for the historic centre.

Baris and crew were very helpful. We were a group of 7 and were completely accommodated. We loved that our rooms were in the mazes off the main hotel. The garden area is breezy and lovely. All ACs worked well and hard - hugely important after a wonderful, hot day exploring Istanbul. Excellent location. Everything is walking distance with great restaurants and bars nearby. Avicenna has a lovely rooftop bar, as well. Great place for an afternoon happy hour. Thanks, Baris and team!

The staff are all very friendly and helpful. Everything is run like clockwork Staff also insisted on taking our luggage up and down the stairs Breakfast was amazing,plenty of food to choose from their buffet ?

Nice spacious room, great location near all the most important attractions! Staff was super nice with especial reference to Mehmet, a very smart, polite and attentive bellboy and Tea, a very accommodating cleaning lady with a warm smile! Highly recommended!

Location was wonderful walking distance to a lot of attractions and the T1 train. staff was very nice and responsive .

The beds and pillows were a bit firm and not very comfortable. While the restaurant on the 3rd floor offers a fantastic view, breakfast is actually served on the lowest floor, which can be a little misleading based on the photos.The room felt small—I had booked a superior room but initially thought it was a basic one. Fortunately, the staff kindly showed me other room types, and I realized I did receive the correct category (the others were even smaller). So again, the photos might set higher expectations than reality.That said, the staff were incredibly helpful and responsive—especially Nejdet—which made a big difference. Overall, I was happy with the stay and would consider booking again if I return to Istanbul.

Very nice hotel 2 minutes walk from the city center. Kind staff - specially Burak - and delicious breakfast. Highly recommended!

Great location- close to sites and restaurants. Staff were great especially Burak. Would recommend.

We had two rooms at the same time: one large, bright, and beautiful, and the other small, cramped, and dark.Both were clean.Localisation of Avicenna Hotel is fantastic.

The noise from the hallways was very noticeable.

The hotel location is very good and close to everywhere. The breakfast is excellent and the restaurant is very good and the hotel rooms are very clean. Thank you for everything. Baris

The thing I most liked is the staff and the location. The staff are very friendly and always happy to help. The property is centred next ( walkable distance) to most popular attractions like the blue mosque, hagia Sophia and Topkapi palace. There is nothing that I disliked, the only thing I could say as a drawback is the breakfast menu is complete English breakfast. I am a UK resident, obviously I am eating English breakfast every day and when I came here it was the same. I wanted to try something Turkish ( maybe this feels only for me) otherwise I highly recommend it to everyone who is going to come to Istanbul.
