10/10
The Albinas Hotel Old City far exceeded our expectations!! From check-in to check-out we can’t fault anything. The room was exceptionally clean with all the typical amenities one would expect. The area around the hotel was extraordinary good for access to excellent food, shopping, and sites. We were even within 5-10 minute leisurely walks to several iconic Istanbul symbols like the exquisite Blue Mosque and the incredible Hagia Sofia! Also within walking distance was the immense Grand Bazaar. There was literally something excellent to experience in every direction we walked. As well we took a wonderful three hour Bosphorus Strait tour that was arranged through the hotel and we were picked up at the hotels front door in a bus and drove to the boat - then back.
The breakfast in the spotless indoor terrace was fantastic with so many choices and there were a few new choices each day.
The absolute highlight of the hotel were the incredible staff. Every one of them could not have been more friendly, kind, gracious, and above and beyond helpful. They all will be part of our perfect memories of this hotel and this amazing city!
Special shout out to our new cat friend that greeted us on the steps of the hotel every morning.
