Great hotel in the best area of Sultanahmet

Excellent location, about a 5-minute walk to Hagia Sophia in an area where one wouldn't be afraid to walk around in at night. The staff, from the reception desk to the restaurant and others provided us with excellent and friendly service. We enjoyed the buffet breakfast and the friendly atmosphere provided by Hasan and his restaurant crew. We would recommend Antusa Design Hotel and Spa if asked by friends.

Location, location, location!!! Perfect property if you know you’re going to be out and about all day. Central to all tourist sites you are going to want to visit and an easy walk to the Galat Bridge. Room was clean and staff were amazing. I would probably select this hotel if I were to travel to Istanbul again as I felt safe, the surrounding area was clean and quiet and people around were very pleasant and helpful.

I had a very pleasant stay at the hotel. It is very close to major historical attractions such as the Hagia Sophia. In fact, I had breakfast at the top floor with a gorgeous view on the dome. The room was clean and the area was very quiet during the night. Plenty of local restaurants offer great options for dining. The staff was friendly and helpful when I asked questions about transportation. Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel. Keep in mind that there are at least two Antusa hotels in the area. So, when you search for it in Google maps or some other platform, make sure to search for Antusa DESIGN. And if you accidentally make it to the other location, which is nearby, they will help direct you to the right place.

Great location, wonderful buffet breakfast, friendly staff. I was in room 102, a single room. Unfortunately, the bathroom smelled like a sewer. No way to mitigate the smell. I left the fan running all night and anytime I was in the room. Problem was exacerbated by the cleaning lady leaving the bathroom door open, so the smell diffused into the room itself. Overall, the property could do with a renovation.

This hotel is located in a perfect location to walk and see a lot of the major sites. Location location location. The hotel itself is very nice with comfortable and clean rooms. The bathroom is a tad small but a minor nit. The staff is very friendly and always willing to help. They define great customer service. One thing that made the hotel stand out is that we were able to come back to the hotel after checkout later that day and shower in their Spa before taking the airport shuttle to IST. We definitely recommend Antusa Design Hotel & Spa. If we return to Istanbul, we will be staying there once again.

Lovely Hotel in a brilliant location

We stayed here as a family of 8 over the Christmas period and Antusa Design hotel is very well positioned for a stay in Istanbul, being only a few minutes away from most of the major attractions (Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, Topkapi and the Cagaloglu Hamam) The staff are very helpful in both Reception and in the rooftop restaurant , which has wonderful views of most of the sights above. Rooms are comfortable, especially the corner suites. Sadly we didn’t have time to use the Spa facilities. Thanks for a great stay.

8-day Enchanting Istanbul

Had a wonderful 7 nights stay at the Antusa Design Hotel in Sultanahmet area, Istanbul. The hotel is centrally located and just a short walk to the Sultanahmet square, Hagia Sophia, and Blue Mosque. The Sultanahmet and Gulhane tram stations are within walking distance too. The hotel I suspect was recently renovated as the room looks fresh and updated. And the room is of a decent size for hotels in the Sultanahmet area. Hotel has a rooftop terrace restaurant with a spectacular view of the Bosphorus, Topkapi Palace and Hagia Sophia, and offers a good spread of continental and Turkish food for breakfast. The best part of the stay was the staff from the front office to the housekeeping, and from the restaurant manager to the wait staff. Every staff was so hospitable and professional in attending to the guests. Wish to commend Hasan the restaurant manager at breakfast for his impeccable service.
