“Great staff, location and suite”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012
3
people found this review helpful

On my second trip to Istanbul, I wanted to be in the center of the historic district of Sultanahmet. I chose the Best Western Premier Regency Suites mostly because of the reviews only (BTW, the other Best Western Acropol is right down the street). I got a great deal on a junior queen suite, with one day free, so it amounted to the equivalent of 110 euros a night for five nights. Breakfast (which included omelets to order) was large and free. Wifi was also free. Although I read several comments about problems with connectivity, and even the porter who brought my luggage to my room said 'be patient', I experienced no problems whatsoever.

The staff is superb. They speak English, are extremely friendly and helpful, and the hotel is very clean and nice. I did not take advantage of the free Turkish baths and sauna.

I highly recommend this hotel. You are right around the street from the Blue Mosque and two blocks the other way to Hagia Sophia.

Room Tip: Choose a suite based on what I've read from other travelers. My room faced away from the street...

“Nice hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2012

I suggest this small and nice hotel to stay in Istanbul.
Walking distance from major attractions, clean, takes care of every detail.
The Restaurant of the hotel is really good and the food quality excellent and it is cheaper than the other restuarants in the area were you enter and you never know how much you will be paying although prices are shown at the entrance you can pay one day an amount and the next day it is doubled.
Most of the people working in this hotel are really professional and very kind, always trying to help you

“Excellent hotel, pleasant staff and great location!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2012

I stayed here in 2008 and had a fantastic trip in Istanbul due to the location of the hotel. The rooms are great, the staff couldnt do enough to help you and i even had a turkish bath at the spa which was fantastic! :) I would definitely recommend this hotel.

“Excellent location, friendly staff, but grossly overrated”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2012

people found this review helpful

Hotel was well located, clean and staffed with the usual friendly and informative Turkish staff that one expects in Istanbul. Nevertheless it is not "Premier," "Regency," all "Suites" nor does it feature a "Spa" as anyone would expect a spa to be. Breakfast was cheap. One major issue that I had was that they seem to have erroneously installed industrial "Airwick" air fresheners in all of the bathrooms (see photo) which reek of faux citrus. I woke up the first morning and really felt like I had been chewing on a Febreze all night. Of course I asked housekeeping to shut it off and they said they did but actually didn't. I'm very kind to hotels in general as per my other reviews and there is nothing desperately wrong with this hotel, it's just grossly overrated.

“Excellent location, nice clean hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 December 2011

What many reviewers don't tell you and one thing I would have found interesting is that this hotel is on the same street and attached to many other small hotels. For instance Millenium hotel is right next to this hotel. There are quite a few others including another Best Western. All within a few walking steps (10 seconds) of each other.

As others have mentioned, this is a perfect location. Excellent street with lots of food and the hotel is quiet with friendly people, great breakfast and the convenience cannot be beat.

Our family enjoyed the stay and would definitely stay here again.
