overall good experience. two of the staffs were very helpful and nice: Abdullah and Sokufe. Hotel owners should know that having staffs that are relax, have a smile and love helping is one of the main things that makes a trip nicer for people. One of the night staffs that was there would not even say hi to us when we greet him.

Very accommodating and friendly staff. The daily breakfast was made fresh and was great. Beds and rooms were comfortable, especially when considering how affordable this hotel is relative to nearby options. The best aspect was the ease of walking to the Hagia Sophia and nearby sites(~3 minute walk) as well as the trolley(~5 minite walk). Could not have asked for a better location, great experience and stay.

Very convenient location walkable to many of the main attractions, friendly staff and a good breakfast to start the day. Was great to receive free bottled water most days. The room was exceptionally warm but after running the air conditioning for a couple of hours it got a lot cooler. Facilities were generally good although some shower fittings were a little loose.

My husband and I stayed for 5 nights and loved the hotel. Room was a very good size with plenty of storage and was clean. Breakfast was tasty and there were lots of options to choose from. Staff were all great- friendly and always happy to help. There are a variety of restaurants nearby and easy access to public transport. Would definitely stay again! :) Only 1 slight negative was that due to being on the ground floor, we could hear people checking in and out. Other than that this hotel is perfect!

Ideal hotel to visit the heart of the old city

We had selected the Economy Room. Which implies that there was no recoat for 3 days, nor change of towels, which seemed to us eco-responsible so perfect. The reception at 1:30 am was very friendly even if our interlocutor struggled to express himself in English. The hotel put a shuttle at our disposal, price 40€ for 45 minutes so more interesting than the taxis taken in the street. Our room was quite small, but the bed very large, the shower room very correct, with products available. It was quite hot there because it overlooked an interior courtyard, but thanks to the air conditioning we were very well. The included breakfast is satisfying and varied, the hotel staff very welcoming and attentive. We felt well advised, well received, we recommend this hotel for a short stay. In addition it is very well located, in the heart of the historic city, 5 minutes walk from the Blue Mosque, Saint Sophia, 25 minutes walk from the waterfront and the Galata Bridge, a delight.

It was a very disappointing stay. We booked this place after seeing the good reviews about the hotel. Unfortunately for us it was not so. First the receptionist who received us could not speak a word of English. Then we were given a small room next to the reception and the restaurant. For most of the night we could not sleep because of the noise from the reception. The real noise started from very early morning as they were preparing the breakfast. So we couldn’t stay in bed. The breakfast was not that great and it was poor compared to many other hotels that I have stayed in the area in the past few years. In the morning finally when we found someone who could talk a bit of English, he said this is the room you booked and we could not do anything for you. I told him that on the room description you need to add that the room is next to the breakfast place and the reception and it is a very noisy and small. We checked out of the place in the morning immediately and did not bother to argue with the management any further.

My stay at the Apex hotel was okay, the room was clean but there definitely was a strong drain odor coming from the bathroom. The tipping point to this whole experience was that we asked the hotel reception to arrange transportation to the airport for us and they tried to scam us quite badly. We had been from Sultanahmet to the Istanbul airport the previous week and had paid 280 liras with the meter taxi and the hotel was offering us a ride for 600 liras, flat fee. We decided to just grab a taxi that was passing in front of the hotel instead, and the hotel receptionist ran out to tell us we had to grab the taxi HE was getting for us and that it was going to be 600 liras and we needed to pay him directly, at the reception of the hotel. We refused and he insisted we take our suitcases out of the taxi's trunk and take his taxi instead. Lesson learned, don't let yourself get scammed by this hotel, grab your own taxi from the street and ask to pay by the kilometer instead of a flat fee.
