Bucharest, Romania10 contributions2 helpful votes
What I didn't like: The walls were very thin and you can hear what the neighbor is talking. This was a big problem during the night because you can't sleep from the noise from the neighbors and from the street. Poor breakfast. Not a lot of choises. What I liked: The location of the hotel is great. It was easy accesibile. Close to the tram station and metro. There are a lot of restaurants around the hotel. The hotel has a restaurant at the ground floor. The room was very clean and had all the amenities. 10 minutes walking to Hagia Sofia ang 5 minutes walking to the Bosfor.

Everything was grest. The rooms, very clean, the measurements of the pandemic were fully respected. The hotel personal was lovely, they all know english very well. The restaurant is great, good food, nice and clean terrace and inside restaurant. The room we stayed in is little, but there is enough space for bags. Very soft beds and great conditions in the bathroom also.

The hotel is centrally located close to the T1 tram and walking distance from most of the major attractions. The staff are fantastic, with Ifran going out of his way to help us with the Istanbulcard. A few reviews had suggested that the breakfast wasn’t great but we thought it was perfect, with cheeses, bread, olives, meat, scrambled eggs, sausage,coffee etc. The only reason that I haven’t given it 5/5 is because it is a relatively loud hotel in terms of street noise, however this didn’t bother us hugely but I would suggest packing ear plugs. Having said that I would certainly stay here again.

My best friend and I found this hotel by chance by looking for it on the booking site and it impressed us both positively. It was a wonderful, wonderful stay! The location is perfect and close to many of the city's attractions, the furniture is accurate and rich of the smallest detail that are very reminiscent of the Turkish atmosphere with embroidery and warm colours. The structure of the hotel is very elegant, refined and well maintained. The breakfast is rich and very abundant, the buffet allows you to choose between sweet or salty foods and everything is managed respecting the best safety and hygiene rules that are essential in this period. The strong point of the hotel is the staff: I have never met a staff so professional, kind, helpful, always smiling and ready to

Thd hotel is located in a great area, specially if you are planning to use public transportaion, its a short walksing distance to the metro station (5 minutes) and the trum station (only 1 minute). Its also very close to the tourist attractions sights in sultanahmet. The staff overall is really friendly and extremely helpful. The night shift staff were awsome (serkan and selim). The room was clean and causy.

The hospitality and consideration the staff showed to me during my stay in August 2018 was wonderful. The hotel is excellently located, close to so many Istanbul landmarks, restaurants and mass transit facilities. When current travel restrictions end, I am planning a return trip to the Best Western Empire Palace!
