Amofta Hotel

Great little boutique hotel in an excellent area( Taksim). Walking distance to Galata Tower, itzikal street and Takskim. My room was very modern and everyone we could possibly need, including a well equipped bathroom. Excellent conditions. The service was outstanding and I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Istambul for the first time, as it has a convenient location. Would def go back again . Thanks for your fabulous hospitality!

Excellent location and nice bedrooms

Pros: - Friendly staff that will go above and beyond to help, especially Murat & Sinim - Perfect location, walking distance to Taksim Square, metro, taxi and bus stations - The place is small therefore, common area is kept very clean and organized - Yummy breakfast daily! Cons: - Since all the building infrastructure in this area is old, the bathroom for both rooms we booked had a strong sewage smell that was unbearable (had to keep windows and door open the whole stay) - The water heater cannot be adjusted, you either get crazy cold or hot water- we asked for it to be fixed, it was fixed but after one shower we faced the same problem in both rooms - The housekeeping lady is the worst housekeeping person. We stayed 8 nights each room, and she never changed the shower towels on the first day, she just hung our wet towels back. We had to ASK for our bedsheets to be changed after 4 nights of sleeping in this SUMMER HEAT! Also, she mislocated a few personal items (had to find them in the drawer) - The breakfast area was too small for a 10 room hotel (only one large table and two 2-person tables)- you end up sometimes not finding a seat with your family to eat - Hotel does not have a "Do not Disturb Sign" - when we asked to not call for housekeeping as my dad was sick and sleeping in, the owner yelled at us in front of all employees saying that "it's our policy, you cannot tell us not to come in, we have to clean the rooms" - Wifi was intermittent and barely worked

Trip was great. Hotel staff was very helpful. I will recommend it to others.
