I especially liked how convenient the Hotel was to the major sites in Istanbul. The Staff was always friendly and helpful. The breakfast was amazing. And the view from the restaurant for dinner was incredible.

Nice small boutique hotel, very friendly staff and nice rooftop
Mariam, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Had a lovley stay here, reception staff so friendly and approachable, went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed and were catered for. The location is very good, not far at all from many restaurants and amenities.
Louise, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Although there were problems getting into our rooms initially, and we had to spend the night in other hotels, the end result was a discounted stay, and the staff was accommodating to take care of us. The area is convenient to explore the historic city center, and was clean and comfortable. The staff were also very supportive in setting up airport transfers for us, and even made reservations at a local hammam and provided transport to that as well.

Isabella, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall I like the place-view from Terrace is amazing! Spend your evening in romantic atmosphere of charming breeze from the sea,music and good food! But rooms haven’t been renovated for long time,the standard rooms are very small,bathrooms are very cramped. The beds were very uncomfortable and small But everything compensate with nice staff,good breakfast and location-5min away from beautiful square with mosques. Hotel located in very quiet place. We might come back,but take bigger room.

It was near all amenities and tram
ROXSANA, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The place is close to many local attractions, muzeums, squares, parks, and winding streets with historical buildings, and Byzantine walls and ruins. Tgere are a lot of restaurants and shops here, too. Yet, many looked tourist traps to me: the quality was good, but you would get better deals, if you went farther to the north-east, or even visit the Asian part.The vicinity of the Murmur sea, seaside views, and the trail to Eminönü is another advantage. We explored the majority of those sites and attractions on foot. Daily breakfast options at the hotel were diverse and tasty under Zalifeh's supervision. The rooms are rather small, a little worn, but are cleaned daily -- sufficient to spend the night-time. Aziz's keen sense of humour kept everyone energized and in good mood. The staff are very hospitable, polite, and eager to provide assistance. Aziz and hotel manager, Elif, helped a lot in communication when the transfer company failed to arrive at the proper location.
Aliaksandr, 7-night trip

Lovely terrace restaurant on the top floor that was not particularly well advertised and therefore quiet

Really good customer service
Anum, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed at 4 hotels in Türkiye due to travel and Avecinna was by far the best. The breakfast’s were delicious and well presented. The front desk was helpful, kind, and accommodating. The concierge by the name of Bilal was especially helpful and extended himself far beyond what was expected. We thank Avicenna for a delightful stay.

6/10 Good

Very good location. Not a great service.
Nurullah, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

This is now my third time at this hotel and it’s huge attraction is its situation so close to to the historical centre. As I get older I regret that it has no lift, but in all other respects it met my needs very well.
Margaret, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

bathroom very old
Emilie, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Although I rank Avicenna a s a good hotel, it is not suitable for the elderly unless they are assured of a room on the ground floor as there are no lifts.
Nizar, 6-night trip

Clean but old
Ramadan, 7-night trip

2/10 Poor

Disgusting hotel. Not clean, rubbish customer service. Definitely not a 4 star hotel. Horrible. Don't even keep this hotel as an option to stay.
Tasnim, 5-night trip

2/10 Poor

Really dirty and horrible hotel. Would not recommend to use this hotel for pets let alone for human beings. Yellow water coming from bathroom basin and toilet and shower. Floors to the hotel room were sticky and dirty.
Qaysar, 6-night trip

Moustafa, 2-night trip
