The location of the hotel is excellent with lots of restaurants and amenities nearby. We stayed in Std Double Room which was neat, spacious and well organised with all the necessary furniture. The toilet/bathroom looks very new and clean. Water pressure was very good with hot water always available. Services from Furkan, Hamdullah and Burak was exemplary. They were very welcoming, helpful and polite. Hamdullah readily solved all the issues which we faced which was a great relief. The breakfast at the restaurant was delicious with wide variety of choices. The team led by Hasan provided excellent service. We highly recommend this hotel to those who wish to stay at Sultanahmet area

Nothing

We stayed at this wonderful hotel with my family. It is within walking distance of Hagia Sophia and the Sultanahmet mosque. There is an excellent breakfast and attentive staff. Especially the reception staff Furkan and Muhammed were very helpful to us. They offered us a birthday cake and also found a wheelchair for my mother. We will come back to this beautiful hotel.

I came from a different city and arrived feeling unwell due to severe food poisoning. The staff took exceptional care of me throughout my stay. They went above and beyond by purchasing medicine for me, even accommodating the transaction when I had no cash by charging it to my room. They consistently checked on me, provided bottled water, promptly responded to my late-night calls (which were a few per night), generously brought me complimentary bread as I was too sick to eat, and ensured my well-being during breakfast. Additionally, they arranged a taxi for my journey to the airport, making my travel experience remarkably comfortable. Their attentive care made me feel like I was being looked after as if I were part of their own family.

From the moment we arrived, every member of the hotel staff—from reception to housekeeping—made us feel genuinely welcome and cared for. The front desk team were efficient, friendly, and always ready to assist with a smile, setting the tone for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. Special mention must go to Hassan at breakfast, whose warmth and attentiveness truly stood out. He went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable—not for tips, but out of genuine kindness and pride in his work. His service was impeccable, and his friendly demeanor made each morning a pleasure. Hassan is a credit to the hotel and a shining example of hospitality done right. The cleaning staff also deserve praise for maintaining spotless rooms and common areas with quiet efficiency and professionalism. Every detail was taken care of, and their hard work did not go unnoticed. Overall, the team here made our stay feel personal and special. We left feeling refreshed and grateful. Highly recommended for anyone seeking not just a place to stay, but a place to feel truly looked after.

N/A

Excellent hotel better than expected. A few steps away from transportation and sites like Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. The staff go beyond expectations, providing information on sites ,tours, and areas to visit. Breakfast was fantastic, and so was the view from the restaurant. There are many shops and other restaurants next to this hotel. It's also walking distance to The Spice and Grand Bazaar. Special thanks to the front desk team members Muhammad,Hamdullah, and Furkan, always willing to assist. In addition,Mr Hassan and staff from the restaurant for providing delicious meala daily. Ms. Lylia and colleague for providing a spotless and clean place . This hotel is extremely clean and was maintained continuously throughout my stay. I highly recommend this hotel. .

All was great .

The location of this hotel was really good for walking to the main sights in old Istanbul. They were very nice to upgrade me to a high floor room with a little balcony and a perfect view of Hagia Sofia. I really appreciated that. The elevator worked well. The bed was very comfortable. There was no AC in the winter, only heat, but I was able to open the balcony door a while to cool the room down, and there was a little window in the shower that could be opened to keep some cool air coming in. The housekeeping staff were excellent to restock waters in the minibar and also fresh towels and make the bed. The front desk staff were always pleasant and helpful no matter the time of day. The breakfast was really good, and the staff there so nice. I also ate dinner up in the terrace restaurant one night, and found it was very tasty, and the view was amazing.

The lighting was a little odd in the room, and the bathroom needed to have a little brighter lighting. But not really a problem. Vans couldn't pull in front of the hotel due to the road being closed, but they could pick up less than a half block away, so not too much of an issue. Really not big issues, because the good things about Antusa Design were really good!

It is really close to the key touristic points.

The expectation to tip all the time. It is pretty uncomfortable when all its made with the purpose of leaving tips. For example, we refused help with luggage knowing that a tip is expected, and the receptionist purposelly gave the key to the concierge " with the idea that he will help us to explain how to use the room/services" etc. But this is mostly a common aspect to all in Turkey, not only related to this facility.

An amazing location - close to all major sights of Istanbul, a few minutes on foot to Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque and Basilica Cistern, tram stop and restaurants. A wonderful staff, particularly many thanks go to Hasan, who was always taking good care of us and creating good mood at breakfast, and Mohammed from the reception who helped us with moving to a larger room and gave the transport card. Other staff very helpful, too. I liked a wonderful view from the restaurant terrace on the top floor (you see water, Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque). Buffet breakfast was delicious and offered a wide food selection, including omelet on request, fresh and dried fruit, cakes, Turkish coffee, among many other choices. The hotel spa offers free sauna and steam room. The room with separate beds was large, comfortable and quiet, facing the inner courtyard (many thanks to Mohammed who helped to move from a smaller room). A wonderful stay, can't wait to go back to Istanbul and to stay again at Antusa Design Hotel!

The smaller rooms in the hotel might seem a bit tight for people with luggage. The air conditioning in the room seemed a bit loud, but, fortunately, there was no need to use in the autumn.

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The location is really good, very close to the tram station and walking distance to several tourist attractions. The airport connection is also good, we used tram and metro for our transfer. Staff was friendly, especially during breakfast, where they really catered to the guests and made one feel welcome. Hasan was truly very attentive with everyone during breakfast. The room was spacious, comfy bed, comfy pillows, mini fridge, good storage space, slippers available. Breakfast was really good and varied, offering many fresh ingredients, lots of cheese, veggies and fruit, good coffee. Nice view from the breakfast space also. I would choose to stay here again.

There was a bit of a strong smell in the bathroom, ventilation could be improved there.

It’s very close to Blue Mosque, Ayasofia and Sirkeci, The Bazaars at Eminonu. The staff are amazing, Hasan at the restaurant during breakfast and his team took great care, the hotel receptionist and helpers again amazing and so were the cleaners. Our fridge didn’t work, they fixed it straight away. We needed extra amenities , provided straight away again. Perfect. It was our second time and was amazing as always.

Only drawback were the cleanliness of towels provided, the towels when provided where fresh and clean in that sense but had marks and stains from probably Prior visitors or usage. Would say please pay extra attention to that.
