We had a great time at the Apricot hotel. We spent the last two weeks of March in Istanbul and stayed at this hotel the entire time. Hakan, Sevim and Omer went out of their way to make sure our time in their city was wonderful. We stayed in room #5. It has a great view of the Blue Mosque.... more

We stayed at this hotel for three nights in April 2007...so I'm a bit late writing this review! but just wanted to add my vote and perhaps convince a few more people to choose this hotel.

we stayed at the Apricot Hotel from January 10-16 following recommendations on this forum... IT WAS EXCELLENT.. the cab from the airport was waiting for us there.

We stayed in the old building, which has now been taken over by new owners and is now called Hotel Aslan (and is unfairly benefiting from all the great reviews this building got when it was managed as part... more

We were in Istanbul in Oct and Nov 2007 and stayed at the Apricot for a week but not at a stretch. After seeing the excellent reviews that the Apricot had on TA we decided to stay here. But from the beginning we had problems with our reservation, the rates, the dates etc. By the way, the standard rate of... more

Our family spent a delightful week in the charming Apricot Hotel conveniently located on Amiral Tafdil Sok No 18 in the heart of Sultanahmet. We could not have enjoyed a more convenient location. Our room was exceptionally clean and well-decorated with a main bedroom and a small sitting room with a hide-a-bed where our daughter slept. The bathroom was luxurious.... more
