Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel was fantastic for its proximity to major historical sites like the Grand Bazaar, Blue Mosque, and Hagia Sophia. The rooms were incredibly comfortable, clean, and looked brand new. The service was exceptional, with very friendly and cooperative staff. However, the dining experience was lacking variety and threw away toiletries. The location was excellent, just a short walk to iconic landmarks, and the hotel offered package services. Overall, a great stay for history buffs!
The hotel promised a rooftop bar and sea view but fell short with tiny windowless rooms that lacked sufficient space. Despite this, the location was perfect for exploring historic sites nearby.
My stay at the Albatros Premier was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms felt a bit small but were clean and with new furniture. However, they were not soundproof, and I could hear noises from the corridor. The service was excellent, with the staff being very friendly and helpful, making my experience enjoyable. The location was great, just a short walk from major historical sites, making it convenient for exploring. The dining experience was below expectations, with limited options available. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel offers excellent rooms, but some may feel a bit small, especially on lower floors with no views. The service is very friendly and helpful, although there might be some push to sell additional services. The location is fantastic for exploring historical sites, including Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and the Grand Bazaar. However, the dining experience may lack variety in breakfast options.
The hotel's rooms are excellent but can be small with no views on lower floors. The shower room in the superior room I booked was a highlight, and the check-in process at a nearby hotel was convenient. The service is a mix of very friendly and helpful staff who speak English well but can also be rude at times. The location is good, offering easy access to major historical buildings within walking distance. The dining experience may not be the best, with a limited variety of food choices. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor drawbacks.
