After all the great reviews we had read about Hotel Ada, we had high expectations, and we were not disappointed! From the moment we jumped out of our taxi at the hotel (with a driver demanding an outrageous off-the-meter price for a 10 minute ride), Dr. Dogan rescued us immediately by rebuking the driver in Turkish and bringing the fare... more

We really enjoyed our stay at the ADA Hotel Nov. 1 - 3 '09. We were met at the airport as planned (stay 3 nights get free airport pickup) and brought by car to the hotel where Dr.Dogan and his wife Eva took very good care of us. We had booked a sea view room for our 10 anniversay and... more

We started our 2 week tour to Turkey & Greece with the stay at Hotel Ada, and I must say that we had the most comfortable stay at this place. Dr.Dogan and his wife took real good care of us. The breakfast was lavish, the rooms were clean and modern, the location was most convenient, the view from the roof... more

Everything brand new, which the owner is very proud of! Bathtub in the living room: a little disarming, but why not? View was excellent. And Dr. Dogan was friendly and pointed us to an excellent Kofte place. more

I have travelled extensively and this was my third trip to Istanbul. There is no question in my mind that the experience my family and I had at Ada Istanbul Hotel and with the family that operates it, was the best we have ever encountered on our travels. Dogan, known affectionately as Doc, runs the hotel with his wife, and... more

My friend and I arrived in Istanbul at 2am, but even at that late hour, there was a driver waiting to pick us up and the owner of the hotel was awake to greet us and show us our room. Our room was on the second floor and had spectacular views of the Sea of Marmara. The location is excellent,... more

An excellent hotel located close to the centre of the old city. The rooms and the breakfast terrace have superb sea views across the Sea of Marmara. Free internet access. Friendly English-speaking owner who can arrange excursions. We enjoyed our stay. more
