The hotel is for stay to 3 days okay, in longer Whereabouts however I would not repeat the Senator select. Breakfast is unimaginative and for more than 5 people at the buffet it looks hopelessly crowded. The service is expandable. For example must hotel guests for the fitness/ wellness area 10 Euro entry pay. We had nevertheless decided in the Turkish bath of the hotel to go were promised at reservation the whole area just for us to have. When we got to the reserved Appointment appeared sat 6 screaming Housewives in the jacuzzi, with relaxation and privacy was rather ... nothing \u2639 the next time than in any case in one of the beautiful historic bathrooms. read more

The best Western Senator is currently under construction, the rooms are all newly decorated. One tries the flowing to designed, so the hotel sustain. It worked of course not always, if for example: Material on time gleifert is. Altogether is however maintain, that the hotel furthermore some efforts undertake must, in particular, was the evening staffing of the front desk for a Francise - hotel best Western very weak and rather unmotivated. Nightly currency exchange was not possible-cash for 'closed (?)'. So had a bell boy to the nearest exchange office to other guests to do. Something that is unacceptable. ... The solid structural changes do the Senator certainly good, especially all around many other hotels also with renovations employed are. The room was completely with new furniture equipped, with designer mini bar- the bathroom after reconverted into also completely remodeled. Unfortunately here planning mistakes in the wardrobes made, they are really not in size, the you itself for short stays expect. Also the renovation the exterior is almost complete and very well laid out. Serviceorietierung is inwzischen improved considerably. It is a pity that you the straßenbar wegehjn the construction did not use. The alternative in the bar area evacuated breakfast would be a other solution have been more appropriate. The mistake one has discovered. For a Istanbul trip - the hotel is an ideal starting point, no matter on one business or leisure travels. Therefore, the mixture of guests, the transportation situation to and from the very good hotel. read more

This is now my third visit in the hotel Senator and it is certainly not my last. At the moment there is largely rebuilt and renovated. For this reason I got a room on the fifth floor (was first finished) with roof terrace - simply dreamlike the view of the sea and the city. The front desk was in the morning at 3:30 o'clock very friendly and helpful. A bellman brought the luggage to our rooms. Already renovated rooms are really. New carpet, flat -tv, new mini bar, safe ( free of charge ) box spring beds with demented ... great mattresses - just relaxing after a strenuous The bathrooms have been completely newly renovated. A sliding door from frosted glass separates the bathroom of the bedroom - so, daylight purely. It is all marble with a new bath tub, new Sink, new toilet and hair dryer. Furthermore you will find in the room shower gel and shampoo in small bottles Slippers are from the hotel also made. All together a good hotel with great location for a city break. The only thing what because of the rebuilding somewhat disappointing was, was the breakfast buffet in the bar. Who it from previous years in the breakfast restaurant knows, wqeiß waqs it can give and what it this time gave. But it is at the next Attendance also again be better. I am already looking forward to to see, as it appears, if everything was completely renovated is. read more

    The windows were leaky. Therefore absolutely no sound insulation on the outside. Behind the hotel there is a shady place at night constantly as parking used and eternal loud discussions until late in the MSG took place. The bathroom had its best times already behind itself (very poor mountings). A small LCD TV on the only RTL II as German channels could. Point one can also do. The room is reminiscent of a old of business rooms.

    Absolutely bad breakfast. Often the certain things very quickly and were not replenished. The number of places in the breakfast room was much too low so that you every time had to wait a long time. Glass orange juice costs 2,50 euros (not lira) extra! For a 4-stars absolute no go! In the cafes in Istanbul this for 1 lira offered (factor 10).

The location in the middle of laleli with a short distance to the well known attractions and the tram, the hotel is well suited for a city trip. Cleanliness, service, breakfast and decor of the rooms-everything was okay. However, the carpet and the bathroom with its fixtures but the ravages of time and should be renovated. Lt. general manager Dogun Bozkus this is already planned, so that the house should win, just as, as the newly designed road and the new children's playground behind the house has already won. read more

We were from. 05,03-12 March 2011 at the hotel Senator. We had booked two double room including breakfast. At check-in we were due to shortages of available double room a suite-room. After examination of the suites-the room we were satisfied, since the suite-the room was great and was very large. But we had to discover, that the room was not really warm, as the radiators were not strong enough, and the whole room was warm. After we had complained about this, they made us without any discussion two double room and after two night we then changed the room. ... The double room was very modern furnished. The breakfast was really top. Plenty of choice and especially fresh. The buffet was with cheese, sheep cheeses, Turkish sausage, salad, jam, honey, bread, wheat bread, Turkish Backspezialitäten, scrambled eggs, boiled eggs equipped. As a drink were nescafé, Turkish tea and fruit juices. Freshly squeezed juice cost 2.5 Tl, however. Breakfast was available from 7-10 hours. The staff tried really hard. So we have asked a couple of times, for example, whether we needed anything to complain about or for improvements. It was so very care of the guests. The guests in Hotel consists of 90% for older guests and is very International. To the center of Sultan Ahmet one drove the best by train in the direction of kabatas. There are three stations. A ticket costs 1.75 Tl, 0.80 euro cost. Go to means to get to the bus stop, you are on the main street and the station Aksaray. If you are on the Asian side want to, you can take the ferry to eminonu port in the kadikoy. I think this hotel can further recommend without any doubt. read more

The senator has just what! Whether at breakfast or in the evening the bar, all staff very friendly and attentive. As I said the GM, the bathroom plumbing to be short on the technical update (necessary, ancient fixtures.)-also previous normal in a higher room (on suites-level) developed, probably also some joined together. The restaurant is not very probably not the best, also with special prices if without end including wine is advertised: Due to what other guests have left more we the stay away from this place. But it is technically a lot of good opportunities in all price ... ranges in the immediate vicinity. But overall the four stars are deserved, the efforts to the guest are noticeable. Great for a city trip. Tip: book on the hotel shuttle bus, from the Ataturk airport one-way 20, -EURO for the shuttle completely. Via a having, but very smooth and reliable. The was my second visit, it is not the last stay. In the evenings to eat after 15 minutes to foot kumkapi-or 10, -lira taxi. If you've never seen has, a 'must'! The location of the Senator-naturally top-and if it as a base for, for example shopping, as it is not far to book the grand bazaar, nearby tram. In the evening good restaurants in the area. read more

The hotel is overall recommended. to it is relatively locally to the main attractions like the hagia Sofia, Sultan mosque, and so on. The breakfast is also OK. hot and cold dishes. for each taste something so! The room are very thin and the has a bit annoying when the people next to think, that this alone in the hotel and until late in the night to celebrate. In conclusion, can I say, that the hotel is very well located and is it for the price is OK. read more

Decent hotel with three minutes walk to the station Aksaray verging three star and four stars. The house is ensured, of the utmost importance in view of the chaos. Friendly staff, good breakfast and room service. Petty but it is, the ten Euros for the sauna and Turkish. Bathroom demands. read more

We have just returned from our stay at the Senator Hotel Istanbul. The hotel is exactly as described on their own website - welcoming, elegant and spacious. Our room was clean, comfortable with all the essentials - modern bathroom with all the extras. Latest slimline TV should you be interested.Clean bed linen with a good firm mattress. The food was really first class - we had half board. Good breakfast buffet - to suit all types. Our evening meals were really special, taken in the very elegant surroundings. The Functions Manager and his waiters were really attentive and pleasant. ... So, all you guys and gals out there if you enjoy a bit of luxury stay at the Senator Hotel Istanbul.

    Located in the old part of the city. If you enjoy mixing with the locals - great! Shopping is all around. Taxis can be very expensive, the trams are over flowing at certain times so take some advice from your hotel information. Plenty of excursions available - coach, boat, and private car. Take your pick.

The hotel is centrally located in Aksaray, only about five minutes from the tram station. All attractions are so easy to reach. In the immediate vicinity there are many shops and restaurants. Only the rooms could have been a bit bigger, but it is fine for a city break. read more

    The breakfast (from 07:00 until 09:00) was ok. Various sorts of bread, sheep cheese, tomatoes, several sorts of olives, cereals, fresh fruit, various jams and spreads, meats and cheeses, scrambled eggs, boiled eggs. Kaffeee was so-so, well, but I Bern-Jura -pampered and perhaps not measure. The dinner (7:00 pm/9:00 PM) was ok as well. Turkish, but maybe not beef fillet with potato wedges, salad, Brokkolicremesuppe are also ok as you have your lunch Turkish.. Still water for free in addition, 0,2 l red wine cost 7.50 euros however and it was just a Chateau migraine ... : o) We had the menu available, otherwise 19.00 €, a he then including a glas wine
