Location is perfect and hotel is very good staff And helpful.

Ather Canada

Very close to blue mosque - walkable distance - less than 10 minutes walk, in teh heart of Sultanahmet tourist areas. 24-hours reception concierge service, waiters help with delivering our heavy bags to the rooms, A/C rooms, view of the sea of Marmara from the rooms on the 1st floor. Reliable airport shuttle booked at 5 AM from hotel to IST Istanbul International airport. Convenience of booking whirling dervish show at Hodjapasha cultural center only 3 hours before the show.

Suhas United States of America

The location is good, stuff is ok, but we have to carry our heavy luggage as a taxi driver got stuck in the traffic and suggested that we walk as "your hotel is just 3 min walk" But the street was so narrow that it was challenging to carry our luggage. The most enjoyable was the view and breakfast.

Anton United Kingdom

Avicenna Hotel is a very beautiful hotel, with a fascinating view of the Marmara sea, Perfect spot, great staff, well designed and kept clean and tidy !! I loved staying in the hotel. Its very close to Sultanahmet mosque, Hagasofia, Topkapi palace, grand bazar. The neighborhood has a very historic, yet modern design. Many restaurants around the place. The breakfast in the hotel is very tasty and rich with all kinds of cheese and cooked meals. I strongly recommend booking the hotel for a glamorous stay in Istanbul. Special thanks to the staff: the manager Elive, the special receptionist Serhat uysal, and the great guy who helped us along - yosuf.
