Stayed here in May 2012. The hotel is in a great location, very close to the Grand Bazar & tram station. Very comfortable & modern hotel. Free wifi is an added bonus

Stayed at the Amethyst Hotel over the May bank holiday weekend and we had a brilliant time. The hotel itself is in an excellent location very close to the Grand Bazzar and only 15/20 minutes walk to the old town. It's also just beside a tram station so if you don't fancy the walk it only takes 5 minutes on... More

Do not stay here. Had my camera stolen out of my room and the manager did nothing, and neither did the Police. I was there with Gate 1 Guided Tour of Turkey Days Oct. 2011

Lots of good... More

Our original hotel was located in the very convenient and desireable Sultanhamet area of Istanbul, and they let us know just a few days prior to our departure... More

It was the first of many hotels through out our stay around Turkey and it was an auspicious beginning for a wonderful visit. As we entered the hotel, we were impressed by the tastefully decorated lobby. Our room was compact but clean, well equipped and modern. We could actually sleep well on our first night in Istanbul after a long... More
