good location
The location of this hotel was perfect. We had a lovely view of The Blue Mosque from our window. Hagia Sophia, Topkapi palace and Grand Bazaar all in walking distance. Many cafes and places to eat just seconds away and the sea couple minutes walk away. It was lovely and warm in the hotel which was good as we went in December and it was snowing. Room decor was good. The only let down was the breakfast, not my cup of tea. We ordered omlet but you had to pay extra for it. There wasnt much variety. Overall we had a good stay at the hotel and i would recommend it.

Great location. Walking distance to main attractions - Trams - Ferry - Restaurants - Shopping. Very friendly and helpful staff. Prompt action on our room request by email. Even got our Bus tickets done in a jiffy. Excellent breakfast on the roof-top bar/restaurant with great view. Hope to return soon to this little gem, behind Blue Mosque. Much appreciated.

Short walk from hotel
Up the road, behind the Blue Mosque (market place) is a covered restaurant, with live Turkish Music after 7pm, everyday. The musicians sing with Joy and Soul. You also get to see a short version of Sema - Whirling Dervish movements. Good food and great atmosphere. The locals patronise this place, a good sign.

Thanks Giving trip to Istanbul
The personal at the hotel are very friendly and helpful, the room was clean all the time. Do not expect a big room but the room is in very good conditions. The hotel is five minutes walking distance to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia.

Great location for the sights of istanbul
We were warmly greeted, and for a nominal sum upgraded to a large room with balcony overlooking the Bosphorus. The room was clean and service attentive. Only one complaint, and it upset my wife enormously! having traveled to over 100 counties and stayed in 1000's of hotels over the past 40 years, this is the first occasion ever that where tea making facilities are provided in the room, have we been charged per tea bag used (4TL). There was no evident indication that there was a charge.

Good Price, close to sights and street with restaurants
The Avicenna Hotel in Istanbul is only 7 minutes (walking) from the tram station Sultanahmet and with that 7 minutes from the Aya Sophia, Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace. Furhtermore it is a only 2 minutes (walking) from Akbiyik Road where you find lots of restaurants. The Hotel itself is a nice place, very friendly and helpful personnel, a good breakfast, a laptop for free Internet access and a nice roof terrace (closes at 11PM). Towards the seaside there is a train track so some of the rooms are a little loud in the morning but our friend who travelled with us could easily change the room after the first night. The building would need some maintenance. we paid 80USD for a double which is a good deal for Istanbul considering location and the good overall experience.

The first night we found the fantastic Metropolis restaurant which was rated no 3 in istanbul (early June 2012). Super friendly and attentive waiters, excellent food, acceptable wine at (for Turkey) ok prices (45 TL - 21 EUR for a bottle)

Super friendly staff, great location
My review is based in due respect to the very low price I paid per night, I think one always has to take that in consideration. My room was extremely small and the heating was barely working. As it was quite cold in Istanbul, I did ask to make the heating work and they did. The room was very clean however and I felt comfortable. The Staff of the Hotel is extremely friendly and professional and they do speak very well english, once help is needed. Even the breakfast buffet is fair enough, again, this aint no 5 Star place and I knew that before. So overall a very good place to stay if your expectations aren't too high. Also very close to the famous Mosques and the incredible huge Bazaar.

Nicely decorated, nice staff, some room trade offs
We had a very nice stay! However, its a personal thing whether you like the Hotel. You will like it if you: - like the style (look at the photos) - love nicely and consistently designed interior - want to have drink or meal on on the restaurant terrace with a wonderful view over the Bosporus You won't like it if you: - insist on solid craftmanship of housebuilding (if yes, are you sure you will like Istanbul?) - don't like to change rooms in case you are not 100% satisfied. Some rooms don't have WiFi coverage. There are quiet and not so quiet rooms.

perfect, unfussy hotel.
Nothing was too much trouble from the word go, 'NO' is a word the staff do not even think of saying. Take your own teabags,fruit juices can be bought in local shop otherwise hotel charges for them- but you can't blame them when pennies matter. Ideal location for Blue Mosque, etc., we walked everywhere even to Taksim Square- 40 minutes but go via Galata Tower and your half way there.
