Wonderful

This hotel is located in a perfect location to walk and see a lot of the major sites. Location location location. The hotel itself is very nice with comfortable and clean rooms. The bathroom is a tad small but a minor nit. The staff is very friendly and always willing to help. They define great customer service.
One thing that made the hotel stand out is that we were able to come back to the hotel after checkout later that day and shower in their Spa before taking the airport shuttle to IST.
We definitely recommend Antusa Design Hotel & Spa. If we return to Istanbul, we will be staying there once again.
We stayed here as a family of 8 over the Christmas period and Antusa Design hotel is very well positioned for a stay in Istanbul, being only a few minutes away from most of the major attractions (Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, Topkapi and the Cagaloglu Hamam)
The staff are very helpful in both Reception and in the rooftop restaurant , which has wonderful views of most of the sights above. Rooms are comfortable, especially the corner suites. Sadly we didn’t have time to use the Spa facilities. Thanks for a great stay.
This hotel is having one of the best service. The staff is highly professional and dedicated to making the stay as peaceful and wonderful as possible. I traveled with my spouse and my tome was amazing. Everything was superb.
Had a wonderful 7 nights stay at the Antusa Design Hotel in Sultanahmet area, Istanbul. The hotel is centrally located and just a short walk to the Sultanahmet square, Hagia Sophia, and Blue Mosque. The Sultanahmet and Gulhane tram stations are within walking distance too.
The hotel I suspect was recently renovated as the room looks fresh and updated. And the room is of a decent size for hotels in the Sultanahmet area. Hotel has a rooftop terrace restaurant with a spectacular view of the Bosphorus, Topkapi Palace and Hagia Sophia, and offers a good spread of continental and Turkish food for breakfast.
The best part of the stay was the staff from the front office to the housekeeping, and from the restaurant manager to the wait staff. Every staff was so hospitable and professional in attending to the guests. Wish to commend Hasan the restaurant manager at breakfast for his impeccable service.
This was our first time in Turkey, Antusa was everything we hoped for. Close to all the activities we wanted to do. Staff were amazing and friendly, we loved our room, felt safe. Restaurant staff were very hospitable, food was very delicious. Thank you Antusa for delivering on what I expected, over and above! We will visit again.
The Hotel is older - but, the staff truly make up for anything the building lacks - Hassan is an incredible asset to the Hotel - and the Front Desk Lead is tremendous.

Avoid room 111
Avoid room 111. It has a tiny patio but the only daylight for the room and patio comes from a hole in the pavement above the patio. As it’s on a hill the room is actually underground despite being in the first floor! Very dark and dingy. Weird experience
Ideal for visiting the old part of Istanbul with many interesting places to see. Hotel is central, clean and easy to find. Staff are friendly and polite. Rooftop restaurant with beautiful panoramic views and good choice of breakfast.
Hotel was adequate for us. The room was a bit small but the comfortable king sized bed made up for the lack of space. Our room had a window that overlooked the air shaft, ie no view. And the walls were pretty thin so I could hear other guests yelling. The view at breakfast was of The Hagia Sophia so that was a nice perk. The staff was helpful and the location of hotel was super convenient to all the attractions in the Sultanhamet area. The only minor annoyance was the strong scent that they have in the lobby—it was overwhelming and gave me a headache.

The staff was gracious and welcoming. Breakfast was divine! The only complaint is that the king sized bed was two twin beds put together so they separated when we got near each other.
