We stayed at this hotel for two nights on the 1st Feb. My husband and I travel a lot and this hotel provided exactly what we needed. A nice comfy bed in a clean room and good shower. Breakfast was a typical continental breakfast that started us off for sightseeing. The location is about 15 minutes walking distance away from... More

First, they cheat on reviews, so read these carefully. As you check out waiting for your taxi, you are asking to enter a review at the desk, IF you seemed to have enjoyed your stay. If not, they do not turn the lobby desk laptop around and make that suggestion. You decide: is that is honest and what TA stays... More

We stayed at the Amber Hotel earlier on in the year because like quite a few people when we arrived at the sister hotel, The Empire Palace, we were told there was no room available. The common explanation is that there is a problem with the "booking system" so please be aware. The Amber Hotel and what is around this... More

We stayed for 5 nights in a double room on the 3rd floor. Our room was quite small with tiny balcony to the street. Breakfast was good, staff friendly and service more than decent. The location is excellent but on Saturday night pretty noisy. Little extra: bottled water was free. Bed was not as soft as expected. More

We stayed for five nights in a triple room, which was actually a two-level two room duplex, great for our group of friends. The room was not extravagant but very comfortable. The bathroom was large compared to most in Europe, including the shower compartment. Bottled water was free every day in the minibar. Extra blankets and pillows were brought quickly,... More

This is just what you'd expect from a Best Western - clean, comfortable (if quite small) rooms, helpful staff and a good location. You can't drink the water from the tap so you are supposed to get fresh complementary water in the minibar each day, sadly this didn't always happen, but buying bottled water is very cheap in Istanbul so...
