The guests were given the smallest and corner room. When booking they promised to put fruits, but again nothing. I will not recommend to anyone.

The hotel left me with mixed feelings.
Pros:
- polite and friendly staff, they try to satisfy requests (changed the room, turned on the heating, gave out cutlery);
- proximity to Topkapi and Hagia Sophia (but not walking distance to the tram);
- nice interior.
Cons:
- the rooms are quite small, even taking into account the fact that the room was in the "elegant" category (little storage space, especially if you have made a lot of purchases);
- poor sound insulation, everything that happens in the neighboring rooms is perfectly audible, also in the restaurant on the roof they start moving furniture around 6 am;
- meager and monotonous breakfast, starts at 7:30 (a bit late for those who get up early), and at 7:30 not all the dishes have been brought out yet;
- cleaning is not very high quality, although every day, a lot of dust, after cleaning, long hairs constantly appeared in the room, either from the maid, or brought from other rooms on the cleaning equipment; - far from the metro.
Overall impression 2.5 out of 5.

The service is very very poor. I have been a Ctrip gold card member for more than five years, and this is the first time I have given a negative review. The whole hotel is a scam.
During the stay, they moved all my personal items (I'm a girl, and all the service staff in this hotel are men), including my underwear, which were directly rolled out of the room, and there are many girls who use it. I won't talk about eighty-eight things. This hotel has ruined all my positive memories of Türkiye.
I stayed here because of a business trip. I checked in late at night, and I had a meeting the next morning. Before I went out, I told the front desk that I would contact the personnel to renew the room. He asked me to renew the room before twelve o'clock, otherwise I would have to check out. The personnel made a reservation for me at 11:50, but the front desk said at 2:00 pm that the credit card deduction failed (that card was successful in other hotels, but his home was not good, and the cash must be paid in person) , In this way, Ctrip couldn't coordinate and asked me to go back and check out within an hour. As a result, it was completely impossible for me to go back within an hour during the meeting. I returned to the hotel after a busy afternoon and found that all my things were packed in a mess in the corner of Datang, and they moved all my personal items (I am a girl, and all the service staff in this hotel are men), including my underwear They all came out of the room directly, and there are many random things that girls use, not to mention. The pile of invoices that had been sorted out on the table and prepared to be reimbursed was also thrown away violently. I asked them for it, but they refused to admit it at all. The whole nest is ****, I don't know how to rate it as five stars

Это место оставило у меня только положительные впечатления. Здесь царит атмосфера чистоты и гостеприимства, что делает пребывание особенно комфортным. Завтраки также приятно удивили — разнообразные и вкусные, они прекрасно дополняют утренние часы. В целом, я с радостью рекомендую это заведение всем, кто планирует прогуляться по Стамбулу: оно станет отличной отправной точкой для новых впечатлений и наслаждений в этом замечательном городе.

Room was good with a balcony overlooking the entrance street. Aircon was amazing in the heat & humidity! Owner & his son were very friendly & we cannot complain about the service. The location was amazing - walking distance to the Blue Mosque & you can just about see two minarets from our room. Breakfast was as expected. Ok for us - cereal, yoghurt, fruit, scrambled eggs. The restaurant has a lovely sea view. We didn’t eat in the restaurant, but had drinks on one afternoon - the waiter was very grumpy! The only downside was the room walls are so thin you can hear everything from the neighbouring rooms - showers, conversations, wardrobes closing. There were also a lot of seagulls around & noisy from dawn until gone midnight. If you are a light sleeper, take some earplugs ☺️

Отличное расположение, до метро 7 минут пешком, до автобуса или трамвая 10 минут. Знаменитые мечети Стамбула и дворец Топкапы совсем рядом. Завтраки в отеле хорошие, выбор достаточный, очень вкусные и свежие кисломолочные продукты. Завтраки проходят в зале на цокольном этаже с выходом в уютный внутренний дворик. А ресторан на крыше работает с 15.00. Вид оттуда замечательный, готовят быстро и вкусно, цены ниже, чем в ресторанах вокруг, плюс скидка 10% для гостей отеля. В отеле и номерах чисто, персонал внимательный. Замечание одно - санузел нуждается в небольшом ремонте, но это не главное) Нам понравилось, приедем еще!

A nice hotel, located very close to tram/bus etc, near the blue mosque and sea front ( all within say 8-10 mins walking distance). Plenty of nearby restaurants, shops. Super friendly staff throughout the hotels, especially Baris and Mehmet at front of house. Very clean rooms, great for families and couples alike. Breakfast is more of a continental affair, with a few hot dishes. If you are looking for more of a full hot breakfast, there seem to plenty of local places to eat at (the hotel itself does offer a variety of items.. namely omelettes for a separate charge .. say £7-£10) There is no lift in the hotel, however the friendly staff are on hand to carry your suitcases to and from your room when checking in and out The restaurant and bar on the top (3rd) is bright and airy and provides a fabulous view of the sea, with reasonable prices too (on par with the local restaurants). Clean, functional, friendly and good location would be my summary of the hotel. Would stay again.

Ich hatte einen fantastischen Aufenthalt im Avicenna Hotel in Istanbul! Die Lage ist einfach unschlagbar, nur wenige Gehminuten von den wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten entfernt, wie der Blauen Moschee und der Hagia Sophia. Mein Zimmer war sauber, komfortabel und stilvoll eingerichtet, mit einem wunderbaren Blick auf den Bosporus. Das Personal war aussergewöhnlich freundlich und hilfsbereit, immer bereit, Tipps für Ausflüge zu geben oder Fragen zu beantworten. Das Frühstücksbuffet bot eine grosse Auswahl an köstlichen Speisen, die den Tag perfekt starteten. Ich kann das Avicenna Hotel jedem empfehlen, der einen angenehmen und unvergesslichen Aufenthalt in Istanbul erleben möchte. Ich freue mich schon darauf, bei meiner nächsten Reise nach Istanbul wieder hier zu übernachten! Nebile Nr. 1 & Aziz Nr. 2
