Aprilis Gold Hotel - Special Category

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at the Aprilis Gold Hotel in Istanbul. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the warm welcome and efficient service. The hotel's location is ideal for exploring all the major attractions, and our room was comfortable and spotlessly clean. What truly made our stay exceptional was the outstanding service, particularly from Mr. Murat at the reception desk. He was consistently professional, incredibly friendly, and went above and beyond to assist us with all our queries, from directions to recommendations. His knowledge and willingness to help made a significant positive impact on our trip. It's rare to find such dedicated and pleasant staff. The breakfast was delicious with a good variety, and all the staff we encountered were polite and attentive. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Aprilis Gold Hotel to anyone visiting Istanbul, especially if you appreciate excellent customer service like that provided by Mr. Murat , Mr Aladdin and all other staff.

This hotel certainly lives up to the excellent reviews. I could not fault this place. Firstly, the staff are excellent. Ishmael, Murat and Allattin were all lovely. Upon arrival after a very long flight from Sydney, Ishmael took great care of us. Whenver we came back from a big day of sightseeing we were always offered tea or coffee which was a very nice touch. The location is perfect, a short uphill walk to the tram which is only one stop away from the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque. It is also in easy walking distance as well. Breakfast as as also very good. There is nothing abd I can say about this place! In fact, we ae already planning to come back!

Comfy cosy and the most amazing customer service. They will go one mile ahead in order to help and facilitate you. One gem of of a team they have. Ismail at reception is true legend Alattan, always there to help if needed. Doaan, Murat, I mean the whole team is just simply fantastic, you go these big posh restaurants and there is hardly any customer but these guys from room service to reception to the porters ! Honestly they will make you feel home. Ismail thank you for the help and guidance, it’s people like you and your whole team who makes a difference to one’s stay. Pass my regards to everyone please. You won’t regret staying here and I am definitely coming again in sha Allah.

Everything was almost 10/10. Don’t think you can find a better location (maybe avoid if you aren’t athletic? it’s on a very steep hill), less than 10 minutes walk to the Hyppodrome, Hagia Sophia etc. Rooms are quite big, even though there’s lots of noise outside, the windows are very thick, almost soundproof, the bed is comfortable, and its extremely clean. The breakfast is also fantastic. Too bad they only had carrot cake the first two mornings we were there, it was a highlight, almost on par with Gulluoglu baklava (joking, but it was pretty good).

First of all, I must commend the staff of this property. They were all extremely good and made me feel very comfortable. The room I had was exceptionally spacious and the interior comfortable. The wifi worked perfectly. Breakfast had a fair variety of food but more hot selections could have been offered. The staff is easily capable of arranging tours and providing directions to areas of interest. The location of the hotel is an easy walk to transport and the Grand Bazaar - less than 10 minutes. Overall, I had a very positive experience during my stay.
