Such a shame as some of the staff were helpful (though oppressed by the owner) and the hotel had a good location and nice roof terrace. But the rooms were cramped, the sheets like sandpaper. The breakfast was missing basic items, when we pointed this out to staff just standing about they said they were waiting for supplies - there... More

Staff: The staff has a good sense of humor and are very generous, but they're always insisting you pay money for tours from their friends who have tour guide companies. I can see why the woman traveling alone was a little paranoid, but I think this is just how the majority of Turkish guys act (I've learned to talk back... More

This hotel (wouldn't even call it that) was not value for money. A lot of things I wasn't impressed with. It was very dull, bland not a very welcoming atmosphere. The bed sheets were not changed daily, rooms were not very clean. Although they had cleaners, they didn't do a great job as bathroom still looked dirty. There was no... More

Didn't actually stay at this hotel, but stopped off one evening on our way back to our hotel for a drink and a bite to eat. Very friendly staff and good service. The food was OK and the facilities were very clean. Overall not an unpleasant visit.

I stayed at this hotel October 2012 for twelve days. The location was amazing, right behind the Blue Mosque and almost no street noise - I had a room at the back of the hotel. Most of the staff were lovely and very helpful but that's where anything positive ends. Although the cleaner came to my room everyday the sheets... More

We went to eat at the restaurant upon our arrival in Istanbul. We were escorted to a pleasant rooftop restaurant. We placed our order or kabab, soup and beer. While we waited for our order, the waiter brought us appetizers (bread, messes, salad) which we didn' ask for and thought it was part of the meal. When we paid the... More

We stayed at Abella Hotel for four nights in October 2012. Our room was quite small, but it was not a problem for us, since we only slept there.
