Angel's Home Hotel

13/18 found this review helpful

as you arrive at the hotel you are greeted by many cats occupying all seats at the small lobby. dogs are also part of the scene. they will be guests at your bed if you leave the window open. the hotel comprises of two adjucent buildings. the good and the bad. make sure you don't end up in the latter.
hotel simple and clean. decoration its a matter of taste, very dark brown furniture and dark red bed linen cover. pretty oppresive. the view from the window is directly onto a carpet shop. the bathroom is clean but very small and unless very slim its very difficult to negotiate into the bath due to the shower screen.
to reach breakfast on the terrace with a view you need to climb 6 flights of stairs then decent down an iron flight of stairs (doesnt feel safe) to where breakfast is served. you need to be really fit to to reach the top. the stairs are quite deep so its not very comfortable even if you raise to the challenge
when you go downstairs its always in the dark. the lights is trrigerred by sensors which obviousely failed to operate effectively. so breakfast is pretty much a risky business.

staff don't speak english only the owners. its a family run hotel so you share breakfast internet cats and everything else with the rest of the family who dont interact with guests. this makes one feels quite uncomfortable.
the new owners are polite, distant and not particularly friendly.
if you book through an agency you may end up in a room not suitable even for a cat. do not accept. do not agree to pay for an upgrade just walk out. there are many better hotels which offer much better value for much less money.
i have moved to a different hotel and this made all the difference to the way i experienced istanbul. what a great city.

Management response from HAKAN DUYAR, owner & manager
(Management representative)
20 Jun 2006
as we always say that running a hotel should be the most difficult job..it is not easy to make everyone happy..as u see at the previous reviews that many guests were happy with cats,but some of them not,''not'' because they are always looking for beeing unhappy.there is one thing that is totaly UNTRUE because no dog or dogs belong to the hotel.probably they saw at the next hotel where they moved after angel's home...our guest said that they have moved to another hotel but they did not write anything about it..probably they have moved somewhere else too..
Of course there should be difference for the standard rooms and the luxe rooms..we have no any agreement with travel agents for the luxe rooms because reasonable rates for travel agents.if u want to pay less, then u should accept low service..WE BELIEVE THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO TRY TO DO OUR BEST but we also know that there will be some guests ready to be unhappy..RESPECTING TO ALL REVIEVS IS A PART OF OUR JOB.warmest regards

I just returned from Istanbul and enjoyed my three nights at Angel's Home. The staff provides excellent service and its a nice little place. Sultanhamet is a bit noisy in places and this hotel is on a quiet street. The other postings are correct, a great choice in Istanbul.

My wife and I stayed at Angel's Home at the end of May through beginning of June of 2006. We were concerned a little because of all the hype on trip advisor, but decided to chance it anyway. The hotel lived up to the hype. We were very pleased with the accommodations, and with the attentiveness of the staff. The brothers Hakan and Okan were more than just nice people, they were good people, who take pride in their hotel and are truely concerned with what people think of their hotel. Some of the large hotel chains could certainly learn something about the hotel business from them.

Istanbul itself was wonderful, but what needs to be stated in guide books is just how hilly the city is. If you are middle-aged like my wife and I, before you go, you need to spend a month walking and getting into shape, or you may find yourself extemely tired with leg cramps.

There is a street with many restaurants whose food was very good just a few blocks from the hotel. When you leave the hotel, turn left, go to the corner, then turn left and go one block. Turn right and one block down you will find the restaurants.

This was our first trip to Istanbul, and we can highly recommend it.

2/8 found this review helpful

My wife and I stayed at Angel’s Home Hotel for 3 nights and truly loved the great owners and staff there. This is a small boutique hotel that is comfortable and provides a good buffet breakfast daily. Hotel staff picked us up at the airport (even though we were quite late due to lost luggage problems) and the owner drove us to our cruise ship at the end of our stay. The Angel’s Home Hotel is located in the Sultanahmet section of Istanbul which offers the most tourist sites to visit in Istanbul. It is about a 15 minute walk to the great Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia Mosque. There are several great night time establishments in the area that encourage friendly mingling with the locals and other travelers. We definitely would stay at this hotel again. Thank you Duyar brothers !!!

3/10 found this review helpful

My husband and I were pleased to find our hotel was on a little, winding, cobbled street with a genuine flavour of another culture. Just behind the hustle and bustle of the old town it offered a peaceful refuge. We were warmly welcomed by the incredibly friendly and very helpful staff and appreciated the individual decor which spelt out home rather than hotel to us.
We enjoyed a simple meal of mezzes, eggplant and fish served on the rooftop restaurant on our first night. The access to the sights of the old town was brilliant and we wandered back and forth most days. Lots of the famous sights such as the mosques and bazaars are just a short stroll from the hotel. On two nights of our four night stays we caught taxis to other districts to dine at restaurants. We were very happy at Angels Home Hotel and would recommend it.
