Antea Hotel Oldcity -Special Category

In the perfect location if it’s your first time coming to Istanbul, so close to all attractions. Service really good and the hotel cleaned to a high standard. We didn’t check out the pool Would stay here again

Perfect location bang in the middle of the old city. Major sites round the corner, and there's even an attraction just outside the hotel ("Cistern of Theodosius" - with a light show). Lobby area is spacious and updated. Check in experience was good, with informative introduction to the city and provision of options. Complimentary big bottle of water in the room. Mini-bar also with reasonable prices. We had a twin room, and the hotel offered an additional small bed for a child. Good value for the price paid. There is a terrace at the top with a bit of a view, but there was nobody there when we went. It was too hot a day for anyone to be there but there are chairs and tables. Spa area has showers and changing room with lockers, so it is secure.

I really liked the hotel’s location. It is just a 2-5 minute walk from the tram, Hagia Sophia, and the Grand Bazaar, with everything you need conveniently nearby, including the tram for easy transportation. The staff were also amazing—some of the kindest and most wonderful people I’ve met during my travels. They were incredibly attentive, friendly, and always willing to help with anything you need. Additionally, the rooms were cleaned and tidied every day, and they were quite clean. There was also a kettle with tea and coffee available, as well as towels, soap, shampoo, shower gel, and slippers, which added to the overall comfort.

The location is ideal. Walking distance to the main attractions like the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, grand bazaar & lots of other bazaars around. Close to cafes, restaurants & roof top dining. A convenience store next door & a restaurant. Across the road is an attraction. A small cistern underground. Coffee shop across the road. Our room was very small. Not much room to have the suitcases open. House keeping done daily. Breakfast is good. Lots of variety. Staff are very friendly & willing to assist.

My family and I stayed for 5 nights at this hotel. The staff were very helpful, kind, and friendly. The Turkish breakfast was great, and they varied part of the breakfast each day, such as the omelet or fried eggs and different types of cakes, so it didn't become boring to have breakfast there every day. All the rooms were generally clean and comfortable, but some were bigger than others and had a view of the street, which was nicer. We used the pool and sauna almost every day. Although the pool was not very big, it was very clean and great for entertaining our kids. If the sauna is off, you should ask the staff to turn it on for you. However, it would have been better if the pool and sauna hours were longer. The rooftop terrace was also very nice, with a view over the sea and city. In general, we had a very pleasant stay at this hotel, and I highly recommend it.
