Hamitbey hotel is one of those little 'jewels' you find when you dig through the huge number of options for hotels in Istanbul. Clean, quiet, and very close to all major attractions (I recommend using the train or taxi for convenience). Close to multiple EXCELLENT restaurants. The only drawback is the bed - I am 6 foot 2 inches tall, and so I had to sleep at an angle. However - the bed was comfortable and I slept like a rock! The breakfast bar is EXTENSIVE with many options to fit multiple palates - lots of vegetarian selections. The food is well-prepared, and of course the coffee and tea were excellent! Finally - the staff are wonderful at pointing out attractions and travel options. My husband was having tea in the downstairs bar as I was napping, and the staff invited him to sit with them as they had their evening dinner. So kind, and so welcoming. Just a wonderful experience.

Visiting Istanbul for the first time and had an amazing stay at Aprilis Deluxe Hotel. On arrival Alattin helped us with our room selection and we got a great room with the city view. Selman at the front desk was also very kind and helpful in directing us on where to visit and even with arranging great tours with transportation for us. The breakfast was authenic turkish cusine and was excellent everyday. Hats off to the chef. Even the staff during breakfast was very friendly, it was a pleasure meeting Elif. Our experience was so great and I hope to come back to visit. The location was perfect; walking distance to the blue mosque,topkapi palace, grand bazaar, spice market, Hagia Sophia and many more. I'll definitely stay at the Aprilis deluxe hotel when I return.
