Azade Premier Hotel (Istanbul, Turkey)

The hotel comes with beautifully decorated rooms, featuring 19th-century Ottoman architecture. Most of them give a beautiful view of the sea. You are also sure to behold a spectacular view of the Blue Mosque from the breakfast dining area, which is located on a beautiful rooftop terrace. Really, it's the views that add on to your experience here.

This hotel is conveniently located in the heart of Istanbul's Sultanahmet district, and it's only a short walk away from a number of architectural wonders, including Saint Sophia. It is also within walking distance of a number of tourist attractions, such as Topkapi Palace, Grand Bazaar, Underground Basilica Cistern, Archeological Museum, and Hippodrome Square.

The rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable. These chambers are regularly tended to and cleaned by the housekeeping team, who also keep your room well-stocked, making your stay very comfortable.

Unfortunately, some of the rooms (those near the street) can be uncomfortably noisy, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep.

This hotel features some inadequate amenities, including a very low Wi-Fi signal. The bathrooms are also in questionable shape - they are very dated and could use some renovating. The bathtubs are also very high, making it difficult to get in.

The food served here is less than perfect. It's rarely served at the correct temperature; it's almost not hot/warm enough.
