Hotels near Nikola Monastery, Istanbul

Concierge: When we arrived the concierge service were absent but our airport transfer driver had to help us and looked for the assistant. Later the assistant helped us all the way to the room ☑️ Reception : A warm welcome provided and Hasan was very helpful, friendly and made us feel valued and kindly accepted my request and offered me a sea 🌊 view room for our long stay. ☑️ Room: It was very good size, amenities was fab, king size bed and other facilities was TipTop. Linen and comfort of the mattress was terrible. Too firm matters and polyester mix linen, never had a good night sleep 😏😴 Spa: Used it for Turkish Hammam and full spa service . Reception at the Spa I would rate a big Zero ‘0’. Masseur Wayan was wonderful I would rate her 10/10. Spa reception doesn’t speak good English and they are rude and make your Spa experience rather stressful than relaxing ❌ Management needs to work on that area. Swimming 🏊‍♂️ Pool: You need to pay 70 Turkish Lira for head cover to access the swimming pool and they will tell you that just before you enter the pool, be ready to pay there and then. Swimming pool temperature was nearly zero! Super cold water . I had to use the Sauna and steam room to heat up the body before I could go in the swimming pool ❌ Breakfast 🍳: Very nice and specious Elite Restaurant. Food choices was great, very helpful staff, cleanings and atmosphere was excellent ☑️ The Grill: Restaurant at 15th level was good, value for money . Could’ve improved with foods choices & service ☑️ Room Service & cleaning : Very good ☑️ Overall: It was a good experience minus the Spa and bed comfort it was good. (Bed & Spa caused minus ⭐️⭐️)

I am myself a hotel manager but since I am accompanying my sister for a cosmetic treatment, I had no say on on the hotel choice Regardless though the hotel I represent as a manager is neither perfect, here are a few observations I am currently in room 1201 and still got another 8 nights to go, so my views may change and they will be duly revised Starting from the bad… Reception - the most unfriendly and unhelpful department I ve encountered so far. This is the department who should lead by example in these terms yet while every department I ve encounter have been great (housekeeping, food and be beverage, spa) … this department lacks the welcoming factor. Sad as reception often leaves the first and last impression. Breakfast - basic but good quality. Can’t ask for more Spa - I still have to try this but the attendant who showed me around was helpful and patient. Thanks to his approach I will definitely give this place a try Room is big, comfortable and well equipped… cleanliness upon checkin not as great … yellow stained silicon around shower, hairs of previous occupants, dusty accessories. The industry is suffering and while I Am mentioning this, I am ready to close an eye Highlight of hotel - by far - the rooftop restaurant … the lamb shank was to die for and definitely best lamb ever… service is 10 out of 10 and 2 people stand out by far … girl with glasses working on Tuesday 11th evening shift … and the ever so amazing and charming Mohammat… impressed and equally jealous of their customer approach. These are people I would hire in a blink of an eye, Mohammat, especially I look forward to spending the next 9 nights here. Turkey is amazing but the Turks are even greater Room 1201

Very clean. Practical location. And, above all, the staff here is very nice (especially Okan who will be very attentive and welcoming). The breakfast is qualitatively well furnished. And I also recommend the terrace of the restaurant on the roof of the hotel. Nice moment there with a nice view, good food, and kind staff.

The staff here was absolutely AMAZING. From the time I got there til checkout they always had my best interest in mind. Regardless of the language barrier they went above and beyond to ensure I felt comfortable. Special thanks to Gizem who took care of me every night for dinner and her manager musa. They made me feel at home. Look forward to coming back with my wife.

The location, service, cleanliness, and facilities were all perfect. The price was also cheap, so I would like to visit this hotel again. In particular, I felt that the interior of the room was really clean. I recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Istanbul Asia.

We have had a few accommodation opportunities with my girlfriend in your hotel. Really great. Your money is worth it until the end. We thank very lady and gentlemen for the guleryuz ...

I had jacuzzi problems every time I stayed in the last three rooms, but I never used them. The last time, the jacuzzi stayed not, the same salary was paid again. They could download the standard charge this time, but we wanted it to be done the next day. I was kicked out and called out from outside and even received his confirmation. Otherwise, another room block was done. We returned to the hotel and we saw the jacuzzi still not sticking. And there is no other room. Price performance is terrible. He did not meet any expectations. The only good thing is the worker. But job tracking and job finishing is zero. Review your technical team.

There are too many five-star hotels in Istanbul, which are just five-star guest houses at best. Marriott continues to uphold the quality of the world's largest hotel group and is very satisfied. It's only two minutes away from where I work :)

This is in continuation of my earlier post about poor room and food services on 26/08/2023 in Hotel Sherlock Homes Ooty. My stay was from 26 to 28 August 2023. The manager Mr Bala has considered the problem with due weightage and promised to improve in future. I would like to share the other experience of the Hotel. The ambience is very nice, with greenery around and a well maintained garden. Excellent view of Ooty from the hotel. The sleep was comfortable and breakfast very good. I have no regrets now for choosing this property for stay in Ooty. Barring initial issue, had a nice stay overall. Pankaj Gupta Dehradun

It was a very clean hotel. Due to coronavirus restrictions, the variety of the breakfast was not a lot but it was acceptable. The staff were very friendly and kind and the room was really clean and cosy. The location of the hotel is also very good.
