Location is perfect. Steps away from the tram stop. Short walks to major sites. Incredible breakfast. The staff could not be more attentive and helpful. They go over and above basic service. Shower is small. Beds very comfortable. Surprisingly quiet. Highly recommend

Great location!
This is a smaller hotel conveniently located in the old city. The staff were very friendly and very helpful. They gave us great information which made it easy for us to make our plans on what to visit and where to eat. We could walk to most everything including the Blue Mosque.
The hotel is clean and nice. There is a wonderful bar upstairs with great views. The rooms are good size and quite comfortable. We loved having a room where we could look out on the street and feel connected to the area.
We would definitely stay here again.

We had a really great time staying at the Aprilis Hotel. The staff looked after us so well, with such courtesy and kindness. The rooms were very clean and comfortable; the hotel was very central for all of our sightseeing; the breakfasts were plentiful; and the views from the rooftop bar were incredible. The hotel is on the main tram route, with only 10 minutes walk down the hill to Haggia Sophia and the Basilica Cisterns. We stayed here for 12 nights and found plenty to do in and around the city. The staff greeted us with Turkish tea on arrival,. and brought complimentary drinks to our room one night.The breakfast staff were super helpful, and the reception staff were a great help in helping us plan our sightseeing. I would heartily recommend this hotel to anyone.

Nice room, spa on site, good breakfast, friendly staff, underground parking garage right next to hotel.
Not high end, not budget.
A nice middle ground room.

Decent choice
Decent hotel in middle of Fatih. Good location but with that comes a bit of noise. Windows/walls were pretty thin so could hear street/hotel noise.
Breakfast standard - all in all a decent choice

The property cannot be in a better location, but the place is very dated and the room was way too small. Because it was Winter, we couldn’t turn on air or fan, and we were always very hot, having to sleep with window open and noise not pleasant.

Avoid at all costs - not suitable for women at all
Room-had minimal yellow lighting and faced a stairway no sunlight-the hotel manager told me he was doing me a favour- apparently I had booked one single and one double but he had given me a quadruple and a double!I had in fact booked two double rooms. Two days later a smaller room was made available to us which we had to decline as there was no space to even open a suitcase fully!
On the first morning for breakfast-the eggs had finished in the serving buffet we were told this would cost an extra 5 euros however as it was our first day they would give it us for free-Quite a shock as we had already paid for breakfast
The highlight of this trip was when my wallet went missing from my room-it was there the night before and after breakfast as we were leaving the hotel I noticed it was not in my bag-however when I questioned the hotel about this the manager advised me no one apart from housekeeping had been in my room and she had worked there for over six years ... hence definitely could not be a thief!
Final straw was as we were leaving the hotel - on the 1st day we were advised the drinks were free in the room - we actually double checked this with them - as we were in the taxi two men run up to my father and said pay for them and tried to pry open the taxi and get aggresive! Would not even check with the initial person who told us they were free!
Finally the manager had no respect for women at all – almost dismissed all my concerns and did not take me seriously at all

A good place to be if you would like to walk to all the historical attractions around SutanHammet. The staff were friendly, helpful courteous and just nice humans. The rooms are cozy and clean. There is no noise coming in from the street level. There were no in-dining options but there are plenty of restaurants on the same street. Thank you Aprilis for a memorable visit.

It’s a nice location but you can tell the extra paint and the nice decorations were only applied to the lobby and breakfast area. The room itself hasn’t seen much love for a while. The worst part of it, the room has AC but it didn’t cool enough. The room felt like it was 25C all day and all night. Which is better than 32c that was outside but difficult to sleep and be comfortable all day. Only stayed here because of the 3 beds.

Das Hotel hat eine sehr gute Lage und gute Anbindung an die öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel. Es gibt in unmittelbarer Nähe viele Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Die Lage ist sehr belebet. Der Lärm war deshalb vom Hotelzimmer aus leider vor allem auch abends zu hören. Das Hotelzimmer war etwas klein, reichte aber völlig aus. Die Ausstattung entsprach dem Standard. Die Betten waren für uns allerdings sehr klein, hart und ungemütlich. Das Personal war sehr nett. Das Frühstück war in Ordnung. Die Auswahl war zwar nicht groß, aber für uns ausreichend. Beim Frühstück wurden wir immer sehr lieb von den beiden Mitarbeiterinnen Merve und Betül bedient. Insgesamt würden wir das Hotel für einen kurzen Aufenthalt weiterempfehlen. Das Preisleistungsverhältnis hat für uns gepasst.

Das Hotel hat eine sehr zentrale Lage. Der Bazar ist fußläufig sehr schnell erreichbar. Die Bahn (die Haltestelle ist 1 Min. entfernt) fährt zu allen grossen Sehenswürdigkeite und zum Hafen von wo man auch sehr schnell und einfach auf die asiatische Seite übersetzen kann. Leider ist das Hotel sehr hellhörig, aber mit Ohrstöpsel sehr gut auszuhalten. Das Personal ist sehr nett und aufmerksam.Das Essen (wir hatten nur Frühstück) ist ausgiebig, frisch und lecker. Es war für jeden was dabei (inkl. Vegetarier). Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Excelent Hotel
We had an excellent stay at this wonderful hotel. From the moment we checked in, we were warmly welcomed and attentively cared for by the entire staff. We must especially highlight the outstanding service provided by Tarik and Ercan, who were essential in making our experience perfect.
The hotel’s location is simply unbeatable close to everything, with easy access to the tram and the city’s main attractions, which made our sightseeing even more convenient.
The breakfast is very good. All of this, combined with the friendliness and professionalism of the entire team, made our stay truly exceptional.
We are very happy and will definitely return here on a future visit. Congratulations to everyone for the impeccable service!
