We had a very nice citytrip. We travelled with the metro from the airport to our hotel. Once we ended our metro trip, we had the chance to enjoy the beautiful Blue Mosque. Right after the Blue Mosque (in a calm street) you can find the Almina hotel. We had a warm welcome and we where guided to our rooms.... More

We are experienced travelers with young children having a 24h stopover in Istanbul eager to doing sightseeing. We arrived late but were effectively checked. We had a triple room, very spacious and clean with comfortable beds. Our room was next to the room where breakfast was served, and we could hear them preparing early in the morning. It was very...

the staff of Almina Hotel was ready to bend backward to fulfill our needs and facilitate our stay, they are great host and we realized how generous they are when we tried a different Hotel in a different location.... uncomparable!

The drawback was that we had a hard time getting a good night's sleep. Between the angry-sounding birds and barking dogs to the nearby train which literally rocks the room, we just... More

My wife and I stayed here in September 2012 – I’m only now getting around to writing a review.

THe hotel is situated right next... More

We got back today. Out of 5 days we had dirty brown water 1 day and no hot water for two days. The rail tracks are 25 feet away and the train passes every half an hour. If the noise does not wake you then the shaking and vibration certainly will. The roof top restaurant advertised is not a restaurant... More

Small Boutique Hotel right in the backdoor of Sultanahmet. Literally 5 minutes walk to Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque. 10 minutes to Topkapi palace and Grand Bazar. excellent hospitality from the hotel staff. Very decent breakfast. 35 to 40 lira taxi fare from Airport for a 30 minute ride. Walk to train station, tram stops and plenty of traditional eatery.... More

Good service, great location, clean and affordable. Staff was very helpful and professional. Close to all major attractions in the Old City with a fantastic view of the sea from the terrace.
