Overall Ratings & Reviews Antik Hotel Istanbul

When i got to the hotel i was given rooms different from what i had booked. However after speaking to the staff and manager they changed my room to the correct room. The staff were helpful and friendly. Breakfast could be better i feel because they charge for omlettes which i found weird. Ali,Sevcan,Burak at reception were helpful and went out of their way to ensure i was happy. Love the location. The newer rooms are very nice and comfy and up to standard with 4 star hotels.

SMILING AND WELCOMING STAFF MAKES ARRIVAL AND CHECKING IN PLEASANT.LOCATION OF HOTEL IS VERY CONVENIENT TO EVERYTHING.BREAKFAST WAS GREAT

The hotel was ok overall. The location wasn't attractive, the building structure was a bit outdated. The room was spacious though.

Staff was terific, hotel could use some improvement.

very good hotel very good hotel very good hotel very good hotel very good hotel

This is not a 4-star hotel and should not be rated as such on Hotels.com. My room looked nothing like the photos the hotel advertises on websites. I was relegated to the back end of the hotel. While the room was clean and had a very comfortable bed, the bathroom reeked of sewage and mould. The walls are also paper thin, so you hear everything going on in the rooms around you. The staff is mediocre in terms of help and friendliness, probably because they appear to be short staffed at the check-in counter. That being said, the hotel sits in an excellent location - an easy walk to Sultanahmet Square and the Grand Bazaar.

Nice simple hotel - has WIFI & Bar so everything you need for a quick overseas trip. Shower is an over the bath one - but bath is very small and therefore not ideal.

Very warm and good services

This is a nice hotel tucked into a great location within Old Istanbul. Prices are cheap compared to service and staff friendliness. This was a very pleasant surprise.

Many other visitors on the same floor waking at 5 am , talking to each other as if it's their home. The reception always not free for clients.

We stayed 2 nights at the Antik after our cruise. The staff were friendly and helpful and the upstairs restaurant was amazing and very romantic. Although the rooms are small having been on a ship for 4 weeks they were fine. Having a bathtub as well as a shower was a bonus. This hotel is within walking distance (5 minutes) of the Grand Bazaar and Blue Mosque. The power cards are sometimes temperamental but the staff are more than willing to replace the cards or fix the outlet. The only problem we had was with a recommended tour. It was horrible. It was a half day tour that was supposed to take us into the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia and then the Grand Bazaar. We spent most of the time on the bus getting to the embarkation and disembarkation point. We did not get into the Blue Mosque as our guide said it would take too long. If he had been on time there would not have been a problem . We were then dumped at the main gate of the grand bazaar and told to find our own way back. The hotel said they would deal with them however and we trust that they will do so to ensure that no other client is stuck with this same tour. All and all we would definitely book into the Antik again on our return to Istanbul.

The staff was very helpful and accommodating. The location is very near the Grand Bazaar. They made the arrangements for a tour. The tour company did not come to pick me up, but the hotel staff made contacts that got to the meeting place in time. The roof top restaurant was nice for meals (nicely prepared and presented) as well as for the included breakfast. The view of the Bosporus was good if you could ignore the industrial areas also in the view. The air conditioning was problematic and kept shutting off. I opened the window and that worked fine. I did not call and complain so they may have been able to adjust it properly. If you take a taxi back to the airport, be sure that the hotel knows you want a metered taxi, not their personalized service. It should cost about 40TL plus tip.

Taxi driver in Istanbul are crazy. They tend to drive fast and traffic law are not considered.

Clean and pleasant, walking distance from many of the attractions. Close to train and busses.

Very dummy and small rooms, No tissues in rooms, someone stole some of my things while cleaning it.

Hotel's location is good but rooms are small with very basic facility. No wardrobe and no tea/coffee facility in the room. Looking at the rooms' pictures on-line, we thought the views would be nice but we were allocated a room in the side extension which is connected to the main building through a corridor in the basement so if you want to go from 4th floor to the restaurant (5th Floor) in the main building, you need to take the lift to basement (floor -1), walk the corridor, take another lift to 5th floor!!!!

HOTEL CENTRALLY LOCATED. AMBIANCE POSITIVE. AN EXERCISE ROOM WOULD BE NICE. BREAKFAST FROM THE FIFTH FLOOR, WITH A PANORAMIC VIEW OF THE BOSPORUS IS TOTALLY A FULFILLING EXPERIENCE.

I ask for direction of a place and they don`t give me map and they told me to go and ask people outsite.

Although the hotel is undergoing repairs on some floors - my request for a quiet room meant I was not disturbed. So if you think you will sleep beyond about 9.30am (when the work starts) ask the helpful staff for a quiet room in advance, and they will ensure you get one. The breakfast was good.

In general the hotel is ok, the staff are helpful and polite. my only concern is that the bathroom and the room itself are a little bit small.
