We came to the hotel straight from the airport and I don't know if the front desk person felt sorry for me or what but we got upgraded to a partial sea view room. Score! The room was spacious with a king sized bed, bathtub, small sitting area, and a view of the sea. The hotel is beautiful and is located near the Marmara Sea. The room we had was spacious and boasted the only bathtub out of all the hotels we stayed in during our vacation in Türkiye. We asked about the breakfast and it was 30 euro per person. We also asked where there were local shops to dine at nearby and someone told us to go down the street to the nearby strip mall to find sustenance. My husband forgot his razor and they were able to give us a small shaving kit. We also asked for ice and they brought us a champagne bucket of ice to our room. The hotel is pretty secure, as they screen all the cars coming onto the property as well as the guests walking into the lobby via bag screening and metal detectors. The staff was great at the Hyatt Regency and I would stay here again if the opportunity presents itself.

Also before I forget the bathroom are spotless clean and beds are very comfortable!

I paid 50 euros for one night. The hotel was very clean and well maintained. The room I got was large by European budget standards, with a separate sleeping area. Most importantly, it was very quiet, with no noise at night so I could get a good night's sleep. The staff was very friendly. The only problem was that the wifi password they gave me did not work, so I had no wifi only room. I let the staff know about this and they came upstairs and verified it didn't work. Also, it was slightly warm at night and I couldn't find any controls for air conditioning--not sure if they have it. The hotel is a very short walk from the Ataköy M1 subway station. However, please be advised that Apple Maps (and I believe Google Maps also) have this hotel about three blocks from its actual location. I walked around for a it an hour before I found it.

Staff was nice, patient with my questions, and spoke English. I was given a card key that didn't work for my room (light turned red instead of green), and the door unlocked on its own when I pushed it open. When I called the front desk about my card key and how my room lock is broken, the man came up and gave me correct keys and said that the room will lock. He gave me 2 keys this time and they both worked (light turned green) but the door still could be opened from the outside when i budged it without the deadbolt from the inside. Room had a view of the freeway and ocean. It's the type of room that requires your card to activate the electric in the room. WiFi didn't work with my last name and room number at first but i called the front desk and they fixed the issue within 5 minutes. WiFi was inconsistent from my room but still useable. Dinner was tasty. Didn't have a choice for food but the food was great anyway. They served red lentil soup, salad, chicken and rice with a tomato for the main course. Breakfast was good as well. Had tea and an omelette with everything on it from the omelette bar, potatoes, some pastries, and a man served me a pancake with a hazelnut/chocolate spread and pistachios to me at my table. I didn't ask for this but somehow he knew I'd like this because I do have a sweet tooth. From checking in to airport shuttle drop off it was a great experience so much that if i was ever back in Istanbul I'd stay here.

I might come back again because the cheap price and services and close to the airport. downside: streets here are so narrow , I don't know if someone can park his car around this district.

All of these sites are quite famous and usually take a long time to get in. But during November it is their low season so it was less busy than I have seen it before. Hotel Amira was also my first time staying at this boutique hotel which cost was quite reasonable. The only negative thing is maybe the stairs if you have heavy luggage you will need some assistance depending on which floor you get. We got the 7th room number which doesn't have an elevator to connect to that level. But besides that it was fine. The staff here is quite friendly and nice. If you have any questions just ask them and they will be able to help you out. The rooftop is closed though since it is cold but you can still go on top of it and take some photos of the view. It is fantastic to see the ocean on one side and also the mosque on the other. For a boutique hotel, the location, area, and being able to walk around at all the most famous places in Istanbul is quite nice!

The Suleymaniye Hamam was a cultural experience, that's for sure…read more I wanted to try a genuine Turkish bath, and the Sulimaniye Hamam is not only one of the oldest ones in Istanbul, it's also one of the few that allows co-ed bathing. In fact, it requires you come with a partner to partake. So I coerced my husband into coming along and made reservations for a Turkish bath. We arrived early but they took us right away. You are given a changing room (shared with your partner) and asked to dress in a bikini for women (they give you shorts and a top if you don't bring your own) and a towel for men. You're also given some very uncomfortable wooden sandals. A side note here: They made my husband leave his glasses in the changing room, which left him functionally blind. The glasses WOULD have steamed up in the bathing room, but I think that would have been preferable to him not being able to see at all, AND we saw another person wearing glasses in there. (OK, I saw another person wearing glasses in there--husband saw nothing.) So if you wear glasses and want them on your face for the bath, do it. After changing, you're brought into a large steam room for about 30 minutes to wait for your bath. There's a large heated marble square in the center of the room to sit on, and sinks around the perimeter of the room for you to fill bowls with water to splash yourself. Each of the four corners of the room is a treatment area, with two benches and two sinks. When it's your turn, the bathers will call you in to a corner and begin the treatment. The treatment consists of exfoliation with a loofah, followed by laying down on the table to be scrubbed all over with bubbles. They work on your back first, then your front. The scrubbing includes a little bit of massage, which was nice. Then, you are splashed with clean water to rinse the soap, and moved back to the area next to the sink where they shampoo your hair. Finally, you are splashed with progressively colder water until you're completely rinsed and soap-free. The last part of the experience is getting dry. The bathers bring you into a side room and wrap you in Turkish bath towels. They do not like it if you try to wrap yourself, I learned. Finally, you're brought into a room with benches and tables where you can order coffee, tea, water, or other refreshments. After our sweaty bath experience, all we wanted was water and more water. When you're done, you go back to your changing room, get back into your clothes, and that's it. You can pay for your refreshments on the way out (you pre-paid for the treatment) as well as leave any tips in a designated box. Pro tips: Bring something to hold back your hair if it's long. Bring makeup wipes since any makeup you're wearing will smear. Bring deodorant to reapply, as well as any hair products or makeup you might need, unless you plan on going straight back to your hotel. They do have blow dryers available for use at the hamam. As I said at the beginning, this was a cultural experience. I didn't find it relaxing exactly, especially since I wasn't sure what was going to happen at any given time. I'm glad I went, but I probably won't seek out a Turkish bath experience here at home.
