Aprilis Hotel - Special class

Travel with a group of 4 colleague just to unwind from our work a short gateaway. I would give this hotel location 10 STAR betterso million star, Very strategic, walking distance to grand bazaar and haga sofia and blue mosque, next to the hotel is show supermarket, where we can buy fresh produce and toiletries so no need to bring so much from home, next to it, is a shop selling lokum and tea and many local product same like the shop inside grand bazaar better yet is just next to this hotel and show supermarket ( will upload picture of the shop) ( i highly recommend going to this shop as the price are far more cheaper than grand bazaar, owner are so humble and friendly and try to attend to us with his basic english often time we have to use google translate and never get angry and tire with our endless question. Never push us to buy thjngs that we dont want. Disclaimer: this is my honest review as a tourist compare to many other countries that I went) Rooms: room 103, very clean and mattress not bad at all thou i can be picky with mattress if it not so firm cause i have lumbar ache. Size of the mattress fit for asian built im 5”3. There is safety box and good size wardrobe to hang our cloth. Size of the room wasnt big and not too small, if you have large size luggages and more than 3 maybe a bit difficult to walk around the room, they provide room slipper, have mini fridge filled with drinks ( all drinks and snacks inside fridge and on top of dressing table are chargeable. The price are display on top of the table. The socket they have is 2 pin anyway just bring international socket you will never go wrong with that. Toilet- shower you have to go inside the glass cover area to shower if you wet the floor management will charge you if water leak to floor downstair as under the tiles is made of wood. Anyway, it is written inside the room. Toilet is clean good size but the not so good size is the shower area, with my overweight BMI the glass door open area is quit small so i have to squeeze a bit to get inside and you cant stretch much inside to shower like bending too much. Ow my. Still not so bad after all. Breakfast- our menu for the past 4 days is boiled eggs, omellete, cuts soseges, french fries, cold dish and variety of salad, fresh fruit, assorted jem inside a packet also butter, 3 choices of cereal, bread white and brown, french bread already cut, cookies . Toast machine also available. They have coffee machine , hot water dispenser as they have assorted teabag to choose from, 2 types of juices inside machine not freshly press. I love their coffee with milk from the machine so tasty. You should try it. Lobby - so clean and big with heater since we came in month of November. Rooftop- we wanted to visit unfortunately front office staff said is close for the past few days due to rain. Downside- we stay one night in a difrent room the water leak so badly on the floor after shower like a mini flood inside the room and we called front office around midnight to get more towel for floor to wipe off the water he said yes, so we waited for a while after that we fell asleep due to too ling waiting and also very tired. Then we check iut the next day and came back ahain to aprilis and stayed another room. Luckily the room have no water leak issue but have AC issue, so it suddenly stop and we feel like no ventilation inside the room and we cant open the window due to cold weather outside. We called again front office to have someone come inside to have a look, he said yes and yet no one came after much waiting so the next day we went to front office to raise the concern and straight away he send work control to our room while we are there and just few minute out issue solve. Overall, if given a chance to go turkey again i would love to stay here again for it has the best location as for the food just acroos the road you can have indian food, kebab, and walk out a bit you can have starbucks coffee, fastfood like burger king next to it is chinese restaurant,walk down the street more you can even have chinese food.

What a lovely hotel with wonderful people and staff. Really enjoyed our stay. Very accomodating and made it special for me and my partner ❤️ only comment is that the mattresses are a bit hard - but nothing that would put us off staying here again in the future. Thank you team at Aprilis!
