Quite nice hotel, solid value for the money. No frills, but all the things you need are there. Clean, good breakfast, friendly staff, room service is efficient without being intrusive (thankfully). I totally recommend it for the tourist looking for a "base" from where to visit not only the Old City but also the other not-so-touristy parts of Istanbul. There... More

Hi everyone! This is Hannah from brooklyn. I have stayed in Albatros Premier Hotel Istanbul. This was my second trip to Istanbul. I liked Istanbul so much that I had decided to go again after my first trip, however I did not like the hotel that I have stayed for the first trip. I found this hotel online, and I... More

We were for the first time in Istanbul, and we loved it! The hotel makes good impression from the outside. We stayed five nights at the hotel, and it was very comfortable. Staff was very friendly and kind. Rooms were comfortable enough and well designed. Terrace restaurant was great! They have tasty foods. I ate a Turkish food one day,... More

It is away from the hustle and bustle of the main street giving visitors some peace to rest at night. It is very minimalistic which is reflected on the... More

Our four nights stay at the hotel was comfortable. Rooms though not big, are good enough for the night's sleep since one is moving out through out the day. Location is within walking distance from many of the Istambul's main attractions and also to the tramway which takes you to distant parts of the town. The staff was very courtious... More

We were five people in our family and we got two different rooms at Albatros. We stay there for five days. We enjoy every day being there. The Hotel is close to virtually every historical spot. The breakfast was knockout and helped us great deal to browse Istanbul till late afternoon. The young Turkish lady in the customer service is... More

Good location for Sultanahmet just a five minute walk from Hagia Sophia and blue mosque, reasonably priced, helpful staff, antique furniture rooms, and we had like a turkish bath setup in the bathroom. It was a pleasure to stay there.

We particularly asked for a twin room with a balcony, sea view on the south side of the hotel and on a high-floor (as recommended by TA's gurus) but we got the ground floor room that is an under-ground, no windows and close to bathrooms and busy restaurants! The manager has sincerely apologized to us and promised to move us... More
