Top Imperial Gate Hotel Reviews

Hotel Arcadia Blue Istanbul

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful little hotel in Istanbul . Our room had a gorgeous view of the Blue Mosque and the Bosphorus . The staff were friendly and helpful at all times . All things given , it was a wonderful stay . I would go back in a heartbeat."

GLK PREMIER Acropol Suites & Spa - Special Class

10/10 Excellent

"Well the hotel was good & clean the staff was very good & was very helpful."

Recital Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Helpful and friendly staff, great location, and breakfast included! Stayed here for 4 evenings and we enjoyed our time. Friendly and flexible front desk that coordinated our hotel transfer, so one less thing to worry about when visiting an unfamiliar place for the first time. Cleaning staff was cheerful and helpful. Breakfast was included and you get a European style breakfast with a slight Turkish twist. Good way to start off the day! Location was very walkable to the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque and other sights. Lots of dining options within 1 to 5 min walk. Felt safe walking around, even at night in the area. I would definitely consider staying here again!"

Sura Hagia Sophia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast was amazing. The rooms were ok and did not give a feeling of a 5 star hotel. But definitely worth choosing it. The staff helped us in boarding our taxi. The staff always approached us to ask if we need anything else. The spa/massage facility was charging us 20% more if we pay by card. We did not have cash then so we skipped it."

Senatus Hotel - Special Class

10/10 Excellent

"The receptionist Mustafa was very accomodating. He always had a smile on his face. He helped us arrange last minute pick up."

Armada Istanbul Old City Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Amarda is a traditional hotel. I had a Junior Suite and it was great. The jewel in the crown has to be the rooftop terrace restaurant. The Blue Mosque forms a huge backdrop and it quite spectacular when it is lit up at night. The food was lovely. The hotel serves alcohol but as with all of Turkey, it is relatively expensive. The hotel is close to the water's edge and so that was nice too. The hotel is quite, but close to the main road and so taxi's are easy to get. It is about a fifteen minute stroll up a gentle incline to get to Sultanhamet Square, where most of the tours set off from. The benefit, I suppose, is that it is a fifteen minute downhill stroll when you are tired, at the end of the day."

Seven Hills Hotel - Special Class

10/10 Excellent

"Great location in the old city. Close to everything. Nice rooms and rooftop restaurant. Staff was very helpful and friendly."

Emerald Mansion Hotel – Special Class

10/10 Excellent

"This was a wonderful hotel to stay at for my first visit to Istanbul. It is in the heart of everything. There are like a million restaurants around you, many shopping sites and the tram is right up the street. The room was VERY clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. Mel the main receptionist that I saw was wonderful. The room did feel hot the first night and I tried to change the thermostat but the guests are not able to change it on their own. You just let the receptionist know. They changed it for me to make the room cooler. If this is your first time visiting Istanbul this is a great place to stay as it's within walking distance of most of the tourist attractions and there are tons of restaurants and shopping all around you. I felt welcomed by the staff and would stay here again."

Carina Gold Hotel and Restaurant

8/10 Good

"Its nice an clean staff are good but would of been if there was breakfast and dinner"
