Aprilis Deluxe Hotel

Aprilis Deluxe Hotel Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Aprilis Deluxe Hotel on Piyer Loti Caddesi, you immediately get that feeling you’ve found something special. This four-star property sits right in the heart of Fatih, and honestly, the location couldn’t be better — I mean, there’s a reason couples rate it 9.7 for romantic getaways. The building itself has this elegant but approachable vibe that makes you feel welcome without being intimidating. You know what really struck me? The staff genuinely seemed happy to see guests arrive, which isn’t always a given in Istanbul.

The Fatih Advantage

Here’s the thing about staying in Fatih — you’re literally in the best-rated area of Istanbul, and it shows. The hotel’s location score of 9.6 isn’t just a number; it reflects how walkable everything is from here. You can stroll to major historical sites without dealing with crazy taxi rides or confusing metro transfers. I actually found myself just wandering the neighborhood in the evenings, discovering little tea houses and local spots that most tourists miss. The area has this authentic Istanbul energy while still being totally accessible for visitors. Every corner reveals something new and unexpected.

Your Room Experience

The room I stayed in was exactly what you’d expect from a well-run four-star hotel — clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. Nothing over-the-top, but everything worked perfectly. The beds are genuinely comfortable (I’m picky about this), and the bathrooms are modern without feeling sterile. What I appreciated most was the attention to details — good lighting for reading, enough outlets for your devices, and windows that actually open if you want fresh air instead of just AC. The overall design creates a peaceful retreat after exploring the city.

Morning Fuel

The buffet breakfast here is honestly one of the better hotel breakfasts I’ve had in Istanbul. They’ve got the Turkish classics covered — fresh bread, local cheeses, olives, and honey — but also enough international options that picky eaters won’t go hungry. The coffee is actually decent too, which isn’t always guaranteed. I found myself lingering over breakfast most mornings, partly because the food was good and partly because the breakfast area has this relaxed atmosphere that makes you want to plan your day slowly. The quality and variety truly set the tone for each morning.

Why Guests Love It

Look, the 9.3 rating tells most of the story, but here’s what really makes this place work. The combination of location, service, and value is just right — you’re getting a solid four-star experience without paying five-star prices. The fact that they have private parking is huge if you’re driving (trust me, parking in this part of Istanbul can be a nightmare). But mostly, it’s the kind of place where everything just works smoothly, from check-in to check-out, which lets you focus on enjoying Istanbul instead of dealing with hotel hassles. This hotel truly delivers on its promises.

• Adam from United Kingdom (9/10)

  Very nice hotel, clean rooms with modern finish. Bathroom was well equiped. We had a nice balcony and the windows cancelled noise well. We were about 15 mins walk away from the markets which was ideal. Immediate area and streets are ropey but its all a bit like that in istanbul in my view. Decent breakfast with good options, although staff were too keen to take your plates and cups away if you were away from your table for a second look which was annoying. Multiple morning we had our half drank coffee cups removed when we went to grab a pastry to finish breakfast, I could understand if it was rammed but there were loads of tables free so it was super unnecessary. Staff at the desk were super helpful with tips and we booked a boat experience dinner with them which was a good night out.

• Gill from United Kingdom (10/10)

  Fantastic location for walking to the main tourist spots or using the tram. It was spotlessly clean and the staff were very friendly and professional, especially the manager. Corner room suite was exceptional as were the breakfasts.
