Amara is a gem in a fantastic location for reaching the major historical sights on foot. The cafe is lovely with indoor & outdoor seating options. The free Turkish-style breakfast is great and filling :-) Everything in the room worked well, no problems at all. We hope to return to Istanbul with our whole family someday, and booking a hotel will be an easy task: Amara!

Helpful and friendly staff

Not a bad hotel in a nice central location. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The included breakfast was poor and disappointing;, just one boiled egg and some ham , cheese , bread and olives plus condiments. Room and bathroom in general were ok. Safe was not very safe. Hallways were undergoing renovation so at times looked like a building site and slight issue with the plumbing one morning with dirty water coming through the taps and toilet.
Decent twin room
Poor breakfast
Building works :-(
Portable Safe, not secured .

War alles gut bis auf das einchecken. Wir waren um 14:30 da und hatten erstmal kein Zimmer und mussten warten bis die Zimmer sauber waren (da waren Leute drin die eigentlich auschecken sollten, aber noch immer drin waren) Ende vom Lied wir sind um 17 Uhr eingecheckt. Sonst war alles top :)
