Ada Hotel Istanbul

“Ada Hotel exceeded all our expectations in terms of hospitality. We started being impressed with this hotel even before we stepped in this hotel. Communication with the hotel before our arrival was excellent. Hotel manager Dr Dogan Sumengen was extremely flexible, adaptive and professional when dealing with our check-in time, which changed multiple times due to changes in flight schedules. The airport transfer was easy, smooth and comfortable. Reception staff Bedirhan welcomed us and helped bring the luggage to the room. The check-in was fast. We found the room spacious, clean, organized, well-lit and tastefully decorated. The hot tub inside the room felt like a bonus addition. In the morning, when we pulled the curtains back, we were stunned to see the marvelous view of the sea. The breakfast was fabulous, delicious and fresh. The view from the breakfast table is worth a million dollar. The hospitality of Maya and Magdi is priceless. They not only prepared the buffet food items but also served additional items from table to table and sometimes insisted to taste the food just like your aunts, which touched our hearts. When we returned to our room every night after city tour, to our delight we found our room super-clean and organized just like the first night. The housekeeping also folded all our cloths and put all scattered items together, which was very kind of them. The azan (prayer calls) heard from the room was melodious, not too loud (comparing the case in other Muslim-majority cities). Another reception staff Syeif gave us right directions for city tours and also printed the COVID test reports for free. During our six days of stay in this hotel, we never felt bored for a moment. We loved this hotel so much that we felt sad during our departure. We will miss the view and the breakfast! Overall, this small and cozy family-run hotel exceeded all our expectations about a hotel. Therefore I highly recommend this hotel to couples and singles.”

“I made a two-day layover in Istanbul on the way to Kathmandu. With my available time in Istanbul limited, I corresponded several times with the hotel regarding airport transfer, COVID test, and locality. The hotel owner was very helpful with my inquiries, and my airport transfer from/to he arranged gave me peace of mind. There was a day clerk and night clerk. Both young men were friendly and helpful. We would have good chats about different topics. They never once invited me to "their friend's shop," or anything of the sort. (This happens all too frequently near the touristic sites.) They helped me get a COVID test (required by Nepal immigration) too. Ada's buffet breakfast was very generous. In addition to what was on offer, the housekeeper brought out omelette without my even asking. I would not hesitate to recommend Ada Hotel or to stay there again myself.”

“The girls in the kitchen make a breakfast buffet that satisfies all. Nothing is left out.”

“We rented an apartment, and it is really the best choice. The location is quiet, though it is in the heart of historical Istanbul area. The staff is very kind, attentive and are doing their work with passion!”

“I was surprised when I got back to the room from the city and everything was perfectly arranged. The lady serving breakfast was very kind and the gentleman at the reception was very helpful.”
