Reviews
the location of thia hotel is near to the highlight spot in istanbul. and because it's location no wonder the price is quite high (all the hotel in the sultanahmed is expensive)
we book room for 3 people and in the ground floor.
the room not so big so we have to organize our laguagge for the movement in the room.
the facility is standard like towels, toiletris, tv etc.
just acros the hotel you can find supermarket where you can buy everything you need.
1. Bad first impression with customer service. A manager named Emrah as I remember has a low customer service skill.
We booked a hotel room through Agoda website. When we arrived at the hotel, the manager told us, our room would be in basement which isn’t described on the website. He carelessly said the hotel doesn’t work with Agoda.
With his attitude he didn’t show any understanding and effort to help.
We contacted Agoda who was willing to help from their part. But the hotel manager, Emrah, didn’t purpose above and beyond help from his side.
If you were in my situation, you would feel like being scammed and forced to pay more when we arrived at the front desk. We were willing to pay for upgrade easily if we weren’t being treated poorly by this manager, Emrah at the first place.
2. On the hand, another staff, Ali seems to know about customer service at handling the situation. He showed his understanding and spoke with us without any attitude.
3. A room we upgraded ourselves to was clean but the ambience isn’t good for light sleepers. There is loud noise and light from outside getting into your room.
Bathroom was still small even for Asian person.
Blanket was small even I’m 159cm my feet sticking out. Of course we got cold during the sleep.
Some people might not understand my situation. It’s ok. I work in the hospitality so i can tell what is the difference
Walking distance to the historical sites (Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque, basilica cistern, Topkapi palace, grand bazaar, spice bazaar etc). We did not even use the tram during our 6-nights stay.
Thank you for the smiles and hospitality ((from reception and housekeeping).
