“Very good hotel in a good place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 December 2011
3
people found this review helpful

i was in SURMELI from dec.6th up to 12th. The room service was very good. The staff of restaurant were so friendly and helpful specially one of them called "EMRAH". The hotel is near to Astoria and Cevahir mall and you can go there by walk easily. (Cevahir is excellent for shoping) The breakfast was complete and good but the problem was that it was the same every day and you couldn't find any new meal to try. Another problem which i faced was that i put my suitcase in the luggage room in the morning of the last day. When i came back in the evening to get my suitcase, i found that the zip of outer pocket on my suitcase is open and my envelope which i had put in there wasn't! I feel that the porter of hotel was responsible but the hotel said that no envelope was found.
Anyhow, it was a good hotel if i ignore the last unfavorable experience.
Go to SURMELI and enjoy.

Room Tip: Try not to choose the rooms on 11th floor because sometimes some ceremonies like wedding is held on...

I Love Istanbul, The cultural capital from East to West of the world.
I prefer to travel to Istanbul twice a year but I choose only Surmelli Hotel.
Clean, beautifull and comfortable rooms with interesting views.
Excellent management and employees.
Real good connections to historical and business places.
Delicious and complete breakfasts.
Good Rates and fees.

Room Tip: This hotel is constructed on a hill. It is circular and all Views from ground to top are best.

“A pleasant place to stay”

Istanbul is where you cannot stay indoors for a long time as the city has so many attractions. So if you want to have a plasant place to stay alongside enjoying the wonderful city Surmeli can fulfill your desire. Not to forget its easy approach to main streets and shopping malls.
The rooms are clean , the food is fine and the staff are quite friendly.

“dissapointing”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 June 2011
1
person found this review helpful

The Surmeli of the internet site and the one in reality are far far away from each other!
This hotel is not even close to five stars facility. It is stuck way back at the seventies.
Old building, outdated furnitures and the room was just depressing. old, smelly and unpleasant. However, everything was operating and the total service was quite ok.
I would give this hotel 3-4 stars maximum. Overall, not the worst, but when one expects five stars, than it's dissapointing.
