Mercure Istanbul Altunizade

The location is 5 minutes distance from de metro station and it’s really close to a good restaurant!

First the hotel staff very nice and smiley people , when I extend my stay they update me to a room which it was sooo big and luxury . Location : within a 5 minutes walk to a big famous mall Capitol , and the same distance to MTR or bus stations and a plenty of restaurants and coffee shops ( even I had my dinner in the hotel itself for few nights - good menu and tasty dishes- Breakfast : same thing : very kind and happy staff there too, food : all types of what you expect Plus free business center to use and can use the printer as well if needed- I did- . I would like to thank Yesim from the housekeeping & the great front disk men Sergen ,Berke ,yigit & his shift co partner as well, I love istanbul more because of you guys !! See you again ! :)

The breakfast was good with a great variety of choices. There is a spa with free facilities, pool, steam, sauna and hammam. Unfortunately the steam room was not working and when I asked about the hammam, I was told I can use it but I would have to do it myself, I have never been in a hammam so I had no idea what do it myself meant, otherwise it was a lovely place to stay. THE SHOWER IS AMAZING!!!!!! Yes that requires capital letters, I could have spent hours there if it wasn't so wasteful....enjoy the shower!

This is a continuation of my earlier review. If you like to tour, the following areas will be within reasonable reach: Uskudar Ferry station and nearby shops and markets, Camelica hilltop overlooking bosphor, Camelica Cami (a new mosque; i recall largest in Turkey) near Camilica hilltop with Islamic Civilization Museum, Communication Tower with closed observation views. All can be reached by buses, taxis, or walking (30 to 60 minutes). From Uskudar Ferry Station you can reach the old city and the European side.
