A renovated 19th century gem in Istanbul’s Old City
Located in the Sultanahmet district, also known as the Old City, the 48-room New Avicenna Hotel offers breezy, open, Mediterranean-style amenities in Istanbul. The hotel is a three-story complex made up of three different 19th century Ottoman buildings that were refurbished and transformed into a hotel in the 1990s. It was completely renovated and redecorated again in 2008. The buildings are connected with walkways that look down upon a beautiful Turkish garden. The décor is enhanced by using splendid fabrics with Ottoman influences. Some rooms have views of the sea from their own balconies. The hotel is just a short walk from such attractions as Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia Museum, and the Blue Mosque. The New Avicenna Hotel is also close to Ataturk International Airport. On the top floor of the hotel is the Sipsi restaurant which provides patrons with a superb outlook over the Marmara Sea. The hotel aims to provide traditional Turkish hospitality with an insight into the culture of Istanbul.Avicenna Hotel Rooms

Avicenna - recommended
Avicenna is a great place to stay in Istanbul. Room was small but clean. Staff is extremely helpful, and the included breakfast was very good. Location is perfect - you can spend several days walking to many of the best attractions in the city. Also very close to the tram, Bosphorus and great restaurants.

Great Location, good room and
Great Location, good room and breakfast. Bit of a disaster checking in. Booked 2 rooms for 2 nights, they only had 1 room reserved when I arrived. Had difficulty getting them to understand the booking. Sorted the rooms with phone calls and despite leaving all the details for my collegue who was due to arrive late at night, when he did they couldn't find his reservation. Organisation a bit suspect. Otherwise, it was a good hotel.

Excellent location - Blue Mosque
Excellent location - Blue Mosque is only 100m up the road. Small boutique hotel, but reasonably priced. Tiny room at the back - recently renovated, functional, with TV (only Turkish channels), mini bar and safe. Nice bathroom. Only downside is train track running behind the hotel so pack ear plugs!

The hotel is superbly located
The hotel is superbly located for all of the sites of Istanbul. Rooms are good and staff are friendly. The day after we arrived for a 3 day midweek break, we were advised of our return flights being cancelled due to the Icelandic Volcano. The staff were fantastically supportive and flexible to our ever changing needs - even dropping the room costs for our extended stay. I am leaving this feedback in a way of thanks for all that they did.

A pleasant good value for money
A pleasant good value for money hotel in a superb location very close to the main istanbul attractions but in a quiet area. Upper rooms at the back have a great view over the Bosphorus and the nearby railway is not really a problem as night trains are very infrequent. Restaurant food was very good and reasonably priced but very few guests seemed to use it
