Yasmak Sultan Hotel, Istanbul

The location of the hotel is good. But some of the staff are not that friendly.

We stayed 4 nights at that hotel. The first night it was impossible to sleep. Our room was at the 5th floor and the terrace where breakfast and dinner are served is on the 6th floor. We were told it would be noisy until midnight because of the dinner, but then the terrace would be closed. Unfortunately, after closing the terrace they started moving all the tables and chairs around, probably preparing everything for the next day. The noise kept on for a while, we went to complain and were told they would stop. The noise stopped for 5 minutes and restarted again... We waited until 1am and complained again, same answer. I was awake until 2:30 am, they seemed to stop afterwards or maybe I was so tired I felt sleep regardless of the noise. Of course, at 7:30 it started again with breakfast time! Next day we asked for a new room and they moved us to the 3rd floor, we could finally sleep! Apart from that, the rooms were standard, not big but just fine, and looked pretty clean to me. The terrace where breakfast is served is nice, with good views. But don�t expect a fantastic breakfast, it is quite average. And if you fancy having an orange juice (not Tang!) you will have to pay 5 YTL extra... Also, the staff was not very helpful. We asked for the rates for a taxi from the hotel to Sabiha Gokcen airport (it cost us 66 YTL when we arrive to the hotel from the airport) and they told us it was far away and the price would be 80-85 YTL, they would arrange it for us and we would pay a flat rate of 85 YTL. We told them we preferred to use the taximeter, so they called a taxi for us. I don�t know if they told anything to the taxi driver but the fact is he started the taximeter, it took us 45 minutes to get to the airport and the taximeter displayed 105 YTL. Obviously we didn�t pay 105 YTL but 85 YTL (and I still think it was too much but we didn�t want to make a mess). So beware if you ask them to arrange a taxi for you!

The price was precise for the guality of hotel, i think that you pay the locality, buffet breakfast was poor but the stuff very friendly

I have visited Turkey several times and i have stayed in different hotels... Yasmak sultan is absolutely the best one of all...The hotel has a great hagia sophia view from the top roof restaurant and also bosphorus scene is great. And the stuff is very friendly and always ready for help. If you go to this hotel ask for the suites because that rooms are wonderful.
