At about £30 a night each we got a double room at Big Apple. We used their shuttle service to collect us from the airport (he was waiting for us at the airport) and the friendly reception staff have been helpful for booking excursions. The roof terrace is great for the breakfast in the mornings although the breakfast spread is... More

We came to this hotel for 3 nights .... A bit more expensive than our previous hotel in the same area. Staff were very good and wanted to make our stay as pleasant as possible. The breakfast was excellent, with a wide variety of veggies, fruits, eggs, etc. my only suggestion: Mehmet, could the hotel buy a coffee brewing machine... More

It's not a Hostel, doesn't have the nice environment from a Hostel, it's more like a hotel with families and old people. NOT party hostel as mentioned on the Hostel description. Breakfast is nice, location is EXCELLENT, 5 minutes walking from the Blue Mosque. Staff don't speak english, so they don't help that much on organizing the day.

This hostel is absolutely amazing! The staff is so helpful with everything and with setting up daily activities around the city, there is a very affordable airport shuttle service, and it's in an extremely convenient location. The Blue Mosque is right in your back yard! Everything in Old Town is about a five or ten minute walk from the hostel.... More

One of the people at Reception was very rude and this behaviour was very bad and insulting, TV in my room was not working and i complain 3 times in 3 days about it but no body bothers to fix it,over all it was an average hotel/hostel

I stayed there two times, in early September and early October. It was the greatest hostel I ever stayed before. It is located in a very nice neighborhood, near most sight-sighing place by walking distance. It is very convenient to everywhere and you can have a quiet sleep at night. The hostel is very clean, bed is comfortable, air conditioning... More

We spent a week long vacation in Istanbul, stayed one night in a dinky matchbox cell @ the second home hostel, then switched and stayed in this hotel for a whole week. Its location, friendly and not pushy staff, big clean and well kept rooms (we stayed at 401 and 304), nice breakfast and beautiful views from the breakfast terrace,... More

It was my first time to Istanbul.The hotel was great the moment you drive up the alley. Hotel staff would greet you with a smile and warmth that you would feel at home. It was fantastic hotel. All dining plates etc were cleared promptly. And breakfast was awesome!! If I back again to Istanbul, certainly I will stay here.

We have stayed in the hotel for 4 days in a doubled- bed room. The room is really comfortable and I was so impressed by the buffet breakfast which serves with plenty of fresh veggie! The staffs here is also very helpful! Will back again if going to Istanbul again!
