OBAHAN HOTEL-Special Class

The staff is amazing, very nice and attentive guys. The breakfast is just amazing, all Turkish traditional food and there was even a chocolate Fontaine! A part of it the staff offered us a fresh omelette and Turkish coffee. Good location, close to the center.

The hotel is in a good place. There are a lot of areas to stroll across near the hotel. Be alert of a pitfall I was not aware of - the restaurants near the hotel are way too expensive! It is a good idea to take a tram ride to İstiklal Avenue and eat there - it will be tastier and less expensive. The hotel provides a good breakfast, the room is well decorated, and the beds are soft and large, I also liked the shower because of its great rainfall shower head. The staff is very nice and smiley. The room lacks free space, but judging by the architecture of the city I think that other hotels in this area have the same disadvantage. Anyway, there is enough space for two people.

The reception staff were very friendly and helpful when we arrived and throughout our stay. If you need any help planning your activities, they give useful advice and can help you to arrange various trips/ tours. The hotel has a transfer service which we used. It was comfortable and good value for money, and made getting from the airport to the hotel and back very easy. The room was clean and comfortable. We had a nice view of one of the minarets of, I believe, the Blue Mosque. The breakfast was very good. I'd say the best hotel breakfast we've ever had. The range of different foods is amazing and each one is perfectly prepared. The staff at the breakfast were all very friendly and helpful, especially Dilfuza who always brought us fried eggs and Turkish coffee. The location of the hotel is superbe. You are in very close walking distance of several nice restaurants, and all the main attractions such as the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern, and Topkapi Palace. We highly recommend this hotel and would like to return some day.

The hotel is located very close to the Sultanahmet area (aprox. 10 min walk) where you have some touristic attractions, lot s of restaurants to choose from as well as many shops. The area is very quiet and safe. There are some hilly streets in order to get to the hotel, this was not a problem for us, but just for people to know. The room was very clean and modern, the bed very comfortable, as well as the bathroom (a little to small I would say but it has everything you need and very hot shower). The personnel is very friendly and helpful at any time (I've asked for an iron and they provided it immediately as well as a scale for the luggage when we left). They have also breakfast with a large variety to choose from and it's very delicious. We really enjoyed our stay at the hotel and definitely recommend it.

Very nice stay - a few minutes walk to the Blue Mosque. Very tasty breakfast with a big variety (: Bed was suuuuper comfortable! 24 hour reception worked perfectly!
