Good location + Excellent communication

Due to a power cut in a previous apartment we booked Alba Hotel on one evening for immediate check in which went really smooth. Host was welcoming and helped take the luggage up the stairs. Helped us get taxis in a city that is notorious for conning tourists which we appreciated. The guys working there have excellent english so there was never a language barrier which is rare in Turkey as not many can speak English. Only downside was the second night where the neighbour was doing construction work at 9am which disturbed my sleep and it gets quite noisy at night due to the nightlife being off Istiklal Street. But other than that I would recommend staying here and location is great as you can easily get food upto 5am the next morning so you won't stay hungry for too long!

Die Umgebung des Hotels liegt gut bis in 2 min zu Fuß in taxim.Leider muss ich ihnen mitteilen das Personal schrecklich war.Die Bettdecken wurden nicht erneuert,die Handtücher auch nicht es wurd in den 5 Tagen die ich da war, nichts im Zimmer getan das war eine Frechheit.Sehr oft Probleme gehabt ins Hotel Zimmer reinzukommen da die Zimmer Karte nicht richtig Funktionfähig.Deshalb bewerte ich das Hotel mit soliden 2 Sternen und dies nur wegen der Lage des Hotels

Hotel ist sehr in die Jahre gekommen, die Bilder sprechen nicht der Wahrheit. Es ist sehr dreckig und schimmel im Bad und im Zimmer. Fenster sind nicht dicht, Heizungen waren kaputt man konnte diese nie ausmachen, es lief durchaus die ganze zeit. Bettwäsche hatten Flecken, Boden war staubig und mit Haaren. Matratzen und Kissen extrem hart. Handtücher werden während des Aufenthalts nicht gewechselt und das Zimmer wird auch nicht gereinigt. Sehr junges uninteressiertes Personal. Geben keinerlei auf Reklamationen acht. Keine direkte Rezeption vorhanden, kein Lobby vorhanden. Lift befindet sich erst ab dem 1. Stockwerk. Sehr laute Gegend, sehr zentral das ist das einzig gute jedoch befindet sich hinter und neben dem Gebäude 2 clubs eie bis 5 uhr in der früh musik machen, keine Möglichleit zum Schlafen.

Das Servicepersonal war unglaublich freundlich und hilfsbereit. Es gab ein paar Mangel was Sauberkeit betrifft weil in unseren Besteck Laden einfach Knoblauch lag aber sonst könnte ich mich nicht beschweren. Die Lage ist wirklich top, das einzige Problem ist das die Straße nie schläft also ständiger Lärm sollte für einem kein Problem sein wenn man hier bleiben möchte. Aber was die Möglichkeiten an Essen in der Umgebung betrifft ist nichts zu bemängeln.

Good Stay...

It’s a really nice hotel bathroom was good reception staff were friendly. Air con works well in the room. tV was terrible but honestly who needs a TV in another country. I would be careful booking if you need access to the lift as it’s very small and we hardly used it but what we needed was amazing. It is situated in an ally but literally just off the main centre so location was amazing tbh it’s it sounds bad but really isn’t apart from prositutes at night so wouldn’t recomend hotel if you got kids staying with you too.

Très bon emplacement et réceptionniste accueillant. Hormis ces 2 points, "hôtel" miteux que je décommande absolument ! Chambre pour 4 qui en fait avait un grand lit et un canapé lit à déplier chaque jour. On nous a donné les draps et qd j'ai demandé qu'il soit fait le soir, le garçon qui est monté ne m'a été d'aucune aide. J'ai donc du faire le lit moi même !! Arnaque monumentale car une fois le lit ouvert, aucun déplacement possible ds la pièce !!! A cela se rajoute : une chambre nettoyée tous les 3 jours, linge de lit et serviettes usés et tâchés, j'ai du demander des serviettes propres pour le 2eme jour. Cerise sur le gâteau :discothèque à proximité donc impossible de faire une nuit reposante, pommeau de douche abîmé donc jet qui envoie de l'eau de partout sauf sur vous. Bref, je vous conseille vraiment de trouver un autre établissement, ce qui ne manque pas à Istanbul !
