Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Antusa Palace Hotel & Spa enjoys a fantastic location, putting guests within a short walk of iconic attractions like the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and Topkapi Palace, plus very close to the tram. Guests appreciate the well-appointed, air-conditioned rooms which include amenities like a kettle, safe, complimentary water, and comfortable beds, and some even feature balconies.

the location was excellent, close to many attractions. the staff was friendly and helpful with directions. i liked the breakfast selection, especially the fresh fruit (i ate a lot!).

the room was quite small, even for just myself. the bathroom was a little outdated and needed some work. there was also some noise from the street (i wish i brought my earplugs!).

The room was small. It barely fit two people. the bathroom needed serious work (i'm talking cracked tiles and worn-out fixtures). breakfast consistently ran out of bread (this is turkey, after all. They have tons of bread!).
