Anarat Hotel Istanbul – Very Good Hotel in an Excellent Location
Anarat Hotel is a very good, clean, and modern hotel. The building itself is quite interesting, as it used to be a church and has been beautifully converted into a hotel. The rooms are very spacious, with good bathrooms, and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. They were always happy to prepare whatever we asked for.
One of the biggest advantages of this hotel is its location. It is less than a 3-minute walk from Istiklal Street and Taksim Square, which makes it very convenient for exploring the area.
However, there were two things that disappointed me.
The first was the view from the hotel. The building is surrounded by other tall buildings, so our view was basically of the windows of the neighbouring hotels. This is something to keep in mind if having a nice view is important to you.
The second, and probably bigger disappointment, was the breakfast. Breakfast is one of the most enjoyable parts of a holiday in Istanbul, but unfortunately, this hotel does not offer a buffet. Instead, there is a small menu from which you choose what you would like. To be honest, I did not feel that the breakfast was worth even half of what I paid for it.
Overall, I had a good stay at Anarat Hotel. The cleanliness, spacious rooms, friendly staff, and especially the excellent location are definitely its strong points. With a better breakfast and a nicer view, it could be an even better hotel.
