We stayed at this hotel for three nights in April 2007...so I'm a bit late writing this review! but just wanted to add my vote and perhaps convince a few more people to choose this hotel. They deserve the business. We found that this hotel pretty much lived up to our expectations, having read a lot of reviews on this... more

we stayed at the Apricot Hotel from January 10-16 following recommendations on this forum... IT WAS EXCELLENT.. the cab from the airport was waiting for us there. The hotel staff (Hakan, the lady and the other man -sorry, dont remember names) were excellent. they were able to give us recommendations on restaurants, sightseeing, safety issues, etc, etc. One night I... more

Apricot is in a great location and has amazingly knowledgeable and helpful staff. They assisted with showing us how to get to the sites we wanted to see, how much to pay for cabs (even called a cab for us when we knew we were about to be over-charged), gave us great restaurant recommendations and were just fantastic to work... more

We were in Istanbul in Oct and Nov 2007 and stayed at the Apricot for a week but not at a stretch. After seeing the excellent reviews that the Apricot had on TA we decided to stay here. But from the beginning we had problems with our reservation, the rates, the dates etc. By the way, the standard rate of... more

Our family spent a delightful week in the charming Apricot Hotel conveniently located on Amiral Tafdil Sok No 18 in the heart of Sultanahmet. We could not have enjoyed a more convenient location. Our room was exceptionally clean and well-decorated with a main bedroom and a small sitting room with a hide-a-bed where our daughter slept. The bathroom was luxurious.... more

We stayed at the "NEW" APRICOT in late October. Yes, there is some confusion as the old one still has the name board and breakfast is around the corner at the old Apricot still (which was of extremely excellent quality...and quantity) but the New Apricot was certainly a treat. Mehmet was there (this was a lovely surprise for us) as... more
