Outstanding location to access main sites for a first time visitor to Istanbul. Surprisingly quiet at night and staff are exceptionally attentive (they help you right away!). We stayed in a deluxe double sea view room with balcony which was very large and had a separate doored seating area (which is nice if someone wants to stay up later). Beds comfortable (main bed would be what I call a double). Small balcony with view of rooftops and river. Bathroom clean and adequate (not spa like if that is your thing). Overall I think this hotel provides great value for your money, especially if you like a larger room to spread out a bit. I looked at many, many hotels and this one offered the best location and facilities for the price. Only minor complaint would be very limited closet space but not a deal breaker. Breakfast is fresh with lots of variety. Would stay here again without hesitation.

This is the second time we visit Hotel Amira with my wife, and this time my parents also were with us. We all liked our stay at the hotel and we want to say a very big thank you to the staff who works at their best 24/7. You will find everything you need in this hotel - rooms are clean, breakfast is tasty and unique, rooftop terrace with a breathtaking views, staff is always friendly and immediately ready to help, even at night or early in the morning. Special thanks for arranging the taxi - driver was polite and careful, so don't hesitate to ask the hotel receptionist to call a taxi for you if needed. The hotel itself is in a very good location, city center and 10 min walk to the nearest tram station. All in all, we highly recommend Hotel Amira to everyone!

A Jewel in Sultanahmet: My Unforgettable Stay at Hotel Amira Istanbul From the moment I booked my stay at Hotel Amira, it was clear that this would be no ordinary experience. Sam, the mastermind behind reservations, reached out promptly to meticulously plan my activities and arrange my airport shuttle. His attention to detail was the perfect prelude to what awaited me in Istanbul. Upon arrival, I was warmly welcomed by the exceptional reception team, with Emri’s hospitality setting the tone for an unforgettable visit. It’s rare to find such genuine care and enthusiasm, and their kindness left an indelible mark. The culinary experience was equally remarkable. The restaurant team not only served some of the best dishes I’ve ever tasted but did so with a warmth and attentiveness that made every meal a delight. The food was so exceptional that I couldn’t resist indulging—a fact evidenced by the 5kg I happily gained during my stay! Every member of the Hotel Amira team went above and beyond, exceeding every expectation with their professionalism and heartfelt service. This wasn’t just a hotel stay—it was an experience of unparalleled hospitality. If you're looking for a place where every detail is crafted with care and every interaction feels personal, look no further than Hotel Amira Istanbul. I cannot recommend it highly enough and will certainly return very soon. Bravo, Hotel Amira!

We loved literally everything. The staff Osman, Mert, Rohat and other guys treated us as like princesses, always kind and welcoming, answered to all of our questions, even gave us Istanbulkart so we could use public transportation. The breakfast was great, the coffee excellent. Due to the season the rooftop bar/restaurant was closed but we could go to the terrace with our own tea cups and enjoy the beautiful view anytime. The room was great, bed was comfortable, cleaning every day. We will definitely stay there when be in Istanbul next time. Probably the best hotel experience!!! Thank you so much for everything!!

Location was just incredible! Right in the middle of the city centre. Close to many attractions. The hotel is well-managed and has amazing staff who were friendly and so so helpful. It is a quaint, charming corner hotel, conveniently placed! The inside of the hotel is picturesque. The rooms are spacious and clean!

I had mobility issues (currently in a moonboot) and the stair cases to the room I was allocated were a bit tough to walk up/down. There is a lift but I had to access room with by going up 2 sets of stairs. Just something to note for people with mobility issues (please inform the hotel if you have any such issues, dont be like me)

Hotel is in a great location, few mins walk to main square with blue mosque, hagia Sophia and the palace. Just off the square is basilica cistern and grand bazar. Lots of shops bars and restaurants around hotel and every street! Easy walk down to river front, you can walk to the Galeta bridge in about 45 mins and cross to the asian side. Loved this area too. The staff were amazing, very informative, and nothing too much trouble. Hotel is spotlessly clean in all areas. Room was a great size, more like a suite. Bed was super comfy, mini fridge, bottled water, tea and coffee in the room. Good choice buffet breakfast. The only downside was the roof top bar and terrace was closed as out of season, we went up to have a look, fabulous views and a really lovely area, will have to return when open. Would definitely recommend 👌 I have to say we found Istanbul to be quite pricey, a "cheep beer" was £5 in some places as much as £10 in others, small wine £8_10, coffees on the square were £5 each...and as for prices in istanbul airport...outrageous!! €10 for a croissant and €9 for a coffee ...so remember to take food with you, obviously not many on our flight ate in the airport as they ran out of in flight food half way through service!!

Don't have anything negative to say about our stay.

Hotel arranged airport transfer and return , on time and efficient. Hotel also organised a private guide to visit the tourist hot spots, Omar spoke excellent English and was extremely knowledgeable. Pay for a guide and you save a lot of time not queuing. The concierge also recommended a Bosphorus boat tour and where to go for dinner. The Hotel Amira is in a great location, close to Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia etc. Our room 202 was big and very comfortable. Buffet breakfast was plentiful with lots of fresh fruit and variety. A Turkish lady is making fresh gozleme in a small room next to breakfast room. Also we enjoyed wandering and getting lost in the many small streets that are so full of character. Every member of staff was excellent and helpful.

No complaints. Everything was great.👍

Great hotel, good location, lovely staff, clean rooms and you feel very well looked after here. The breakfast was lovely - good variety. Lovely view from the terrace. The staff really cared and went above and beyond even giving us umbrellas and plasters when we needed them. Would highly recommend this beautiful boutique traditional Turkish hotel to anyone!

Some facilities seemed dated like the toilets but still were clean and had all the required necessities. It was a bit too warm in the rooms sometimes. But I'm sure reception would've helped with that too.

I stayed at this hotel for a week, and my experience was truly exceptional. The room was comfortable and clean, and the service was excellent. The breakfast was well-organized, delicious, and always fresh. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly, always making sure that guests had a pleasant stay. The hotel’s location is strategic, close to public transportation, making it easy to explore the city. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable stay with great service. I will definitely return on my next visit!

The hotel is just a walking distance to many major attractions and restaurants. The staffs are very helpful and courteous. Their breakfast is good and there’s a lady that cooks the gozleme right in front of you every morning. They have a luggage storage and can keep several luggage for you without extra charge while you go to other parts of Turkey. That was very convenient for us because we went to Cappadocia for a few days and didn’t want to bring our big luggage there with us. Then we went back to Istanbul to catch our next flight home. Highly recommended. We’re so happy to find this hotel.

Nothing. I like it very much.
