Ast Hotel Istanbul

Pros: Nähe zu sehenswürdigkeiten
rezeption: durchwegs hilfsbereit und freundlich
Contras: Sauberkeit der zimmer, betten und terrasse generell
reinigung des zimmers nur nach aufforderung
schimmel an der zimmerwand im bereich der klimaanlage, zimmer mit terrasse- kein fenster zu öffnen/ kippen- allerdings türe soll lt. rezeption verschlossen werden- katastrophale luft nach tagesausflügen.
einfachstes frühstück- offiziell erst ab 08h30!

Pros: Die lage des hotels ist hervorragend. man hat viele freiheiten im hotel, es ist klein und familiengeführt, man kann mit den leuten reden, die einem entgegenkommen.
Contras: Man hat versucht uns die rundreisen anzudrehen, was ziemlich negativ bei uns ankam. man muss aufpassen, um nicht den dreifachen preis zu bezahlen. achtung bei der abholung von sabiha flughafen, da verlangt das management den dreifachen preis von dem, den man gesagt bekommt. man darf keinen luxus von diesem hotel erwarten, alles ist ziemlich heruntergekommen, mufflig und abgenutzt. wer damit leben kann und nur zum schlafen da ist, soll das hotel buchen, dnn der preis war okay...ansonsten finger weg.

Pros: The hotel is good but they need to employ people that speaks enlish.
Cons: No

Pros: Friendly staff, good location, reasonable price
Cons: Bathroom was very small, but it was clean

Pros: Friendly staff
Cons: They do not change sheets every day. phone does not work. they do not empty trash. toilets smell bad. hotel photos on website do not match reality

Pros: I stayed during the period 4-11 dec. 2010. the location was perfect, stuff are very friendly, value of money is excellent.all features were included as stated on the website. there is no big concern about it. of sure i'll return to this hotel back if they gave me the same price
i'm from egypt

Pros: The reception staff was very helpful
Cons: No

Pros: The ast hotel is a family run operation that provides a good athmosphere. the staff was friendly and really tried to help us with directions and arranging for taxis. the hotel offers a good value for its location. the terrace/roof top gives a nice view of the surrounding. we did not try the breakfast. the hotel room was priced under 50 euros, which was reasonable.
Cons: The shower of the hotel is not covered so it was easy to get the floor wet. if you are a slight sleeper, you may find difficult to sleep because of the 5am prayers at the nearby mosque (they use speakers). no soap or shampoo available.

Pros: The staff at the ast hotel were very friendly and tried to make my experience in istanbul very enjoyable, they were helpful with suggestions of things to do and see, sightseeing and tours. the breakfast consists of bread, boiled eggs, tea, coffee, yogurt, some sort of lunchmeat, tomatoes, cheese, cucumbers. it was adequate and there was always tea and coffee available in the lobby. all the staff were great.
Cons: The hotel on the easy book website shows a front patio with tables and chairs that is no longer there. the terrace looks much more inviting on the website than in reality. the room was fine and bigger than where my friends stayed. my room was cleaned everyday and i was given clean towels each day also. there is air conditioning in the room and i also had a small fridge and a lcd screen tv.

Pros: Friendly staff and good location, a safe place to stay.
Cons: Shower could be a little cleaner. and the neighboring house was in a complete make over so quite some noise after 9:00am in the morning when they start to use the drills.
