Having read other reviews of the Alaturka on Trip Advisor, I made a reservation online and they were quick with a response. I emailed a day later and asked for a pickup at the airport which they arranged with no problems. We stayed there for 6 nights at the b eginning of our three weeks in Turkey, and then another...

We stayed here for 4 nights and could not have been happier. The hotel had a driver to pick us up at the airport even though our flight was late and we did not arrive until 12:30am. The hotel is in a great location...5 minute walk to Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia and other attractions. The front desk guys are... More

My friends and I came to Istanbul for a quite long weekend and we lived in a big room for 4 people. I shoud say that I liked everything: a spacious 2-room apartment, very friendly and helpful staff always ready to help, great location (5 min walk to Aya Sofia), cosy and picturesque surroundings, 2 min walk to a taxi...

Nice small hotel with an excellent staff. Specially the reception staff is very kind and helpfull. Excellent client orientation!!! Large bedroom 36 mtr and free WIFI.

Have not stayed at hotel, but tried the restaurant twice. Somewhat puzzled what happened to the negative reviewers. The food was great and the wine excellent. The service impeccable. Of course it is expensive, with that view, what do you expect? But the view and the food give excellent value for money. First time we drank wine and had a... More

This is a review of resturant. Fish was good. View excellent of both mosque and Sofia. You can also see the sea. Waiter suggested the value of the tip !

We took my mother-in-law to Istanbul last week, her first foreign trip since a stroke three years ago left her confined to a wheelchair. Starting with the initial email responses to our questions about access, the staff was incredibly kind and considerate. Sukron, who puts out the large buffet breakfast on the terrace overlooking the Sea of Marmara, was hugging... More
