My wife and I arrived after staying in 4-5 star tour hotels. We wanted to spend a night extra days and just wandering the streets and markets. We arrived at 11 AM and were upgraded to a room on the 3rd floor. It was large, cleaner than some of the other hotels, comfortable bed, balcony and water for coffee/tea. We... More

This hotel gives you the ancien feel of Turkey. Its a little away from the main city sights and gives it a very palace like old city feel. The rooms are small but very functional. The bathroom is big and very well kept place. Breakfast is awesome... the spread, taste, quality was very good. The hotel staff were exceptionally helpful.... More

I have spent 3 nights at the Antea Palace hotel and the staff were all helpful, courteous and friendly. We were advised about the hotel facilities and the main tourist attractions. Trips were offered but not in an overly pushy way. The hotel is decorated in typical Turkish style, which means it is not for the minimalist. The communal areas... More

After a long journey to Istanbul, and arriving tired and grumpy the staff on reception won us over immediately. Very warm welcome and took the time to explain about excursions available, where on the map the hotel was located etc etc all of this with a nice glass of apple tea. Room was cosy but it was the extra touches... More

The receptionist Arzu was very friendly and offered us refreshments while we were waiting to get checked in and also agreed a late check out.... More

We stayed for 4 nights in April 2013 as a family in a "deluxe" room. Booked through a discount internet site after much searching around, trying to sieve through much of a muchness of Turkish B&Bs. Very few reputable chains and none in central locations so we settled for this hotel because of the swimming pool. The hotel is located... More

Everything about the hotel was excellent, including breakfast, dinner,& friendly staff. Would have appreciated some drawers in our room for unpacking. Only real negative is the location in a run down neighbourhood, & the late night noise from the playing field in front of the hotel.

I really don't have anything to fault with this hotel - the room was clean and comfortable, and I believe it had been refurbished recently - the bathroom in particular seemed quite new. The aircon is easily controlled, and works really well on warm days, which you'll hopefully get in Istanbul. There's a TV that you probably won't use -... More
