Antusa Design Hotel & Spa

Beautiful, nice, and clean cosy hotel.
Excellent service, really polite and friendly team of staff to help the guests, we visited in the month of Aug in high heat temperature and used to ask water bottles day and night, they provided without any questions.
The room used to clean every day without reminding, and bathroom toiletries were filled.

Location is ideal, all the main attractions of Istanbul are on walking distance, the hotel staff guides and provides map as well. They can also arrange Bosphorus cruise tours if requested.

It also has a spa and hamaam if one is interested and an amazing restaurant.

Highly recommend.

We stayed in the family connecting room, while the rooms were small (normal for Istanbul) they were comfortable and clean. We didn't have a view, but that didn't bother us as we were always out.

The front desk staff were all professional and friendly, especially Eren and Gokhan, who were happy to assist us with everything. The cleaning lady was friendly and asked to clean our rooms daily and provided bottled water.

Breakfast was great. They supplied coffee, tea, cereal, butter, jams, cheese and cold meats, eggs, omelets, sweets, etc.

TDLR; Stayed for a week and a half here. Breakfasts are savoury as most complimentary breakfasts are throughout Türkiye. Rooms are a little bit small but still quite nice. The location is perfect and the staff are absolutely exceptional.

Long Review:

1. My family and I stayed at Antusa Palace from 25/06/24 to 4/07/2024. The rooms are tidy with large beds, working air-conditioning, additional storage with a small bathroom. If you are the only one staying in the room, it is great but some couples may struggle to make the space work. The rooms however are quaint and have comfortable beds which were enough for me.

2. The location is PERFECT and is within walking distance of the Grand Bazaar, Topkapı Palace, Aya Sofya, Sultan Ahmet Mosque AND the tram line (and beautiful views from the rooms). It is also surrounded by restaurants (primarily Turkish) that are definitely on the pricier side but of nice quality. The hotel even has the “Lekker Cafe and Restaurant” as part of their hotel where the food is delicious (shout out to the servers Necat and Umut — they are very kind).

3. The staff are on another level. Of the hotel itself, Eren, Emin, Ali, and Gökan have constantly gone above and beyond for myself and my family. Emin and Ali speak multiple languages, while Eren and Gökan are continuing to grasp english very well.

They continue to be so welcoming and continue to remind you to treat the hotel as your own home. They are very very friendly and so willing to accomodate for any needs, wants, or questions with professionalism. Massive kudos to the owner for choosing such lovely people to help run the establishment (the cleaner is so lovely as well).

Thank you Antusa for the beautiful hospitality. If I were to come back, I would stay here again.

The hotel provided excellent accommodations and services for myself and my family. The staff demonstrated exceptional helpfulness in the dining, room service, and city tour planning. In particular, Ally at the reception desk was instrumental in arranging airport transfers, and we greatly appreciate his efforts in securing a fixed price for taxi services. Overall, we were highly satisfied with our experience and would gladly book again in the future.

The hotel is in an excellent location!
The costumer service was above expectations.They are all kind and patient!
The room was very clean and tidy!
The breakfast was very good!

Since i checked in this hotel i was welcomed greatly by hotel staff. During my stay i really felt like my home. Thanks everyone to make my stay perfect. All facilities are so nice spa , rooms and location. Everything was superb. Highly recomended. Especially Utkan and Emin they are so kind towards the guests as far as i observed.

During our pleasant 4-night stay in Istanbul, we had the pleasure of experiencing the warm hospitality of the Antusa Palace Hotel and Spa. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with genuine kindness from the hotel staff, whose immense assistance made our stay truly memorable. The front desk guided us in selecting the perfect room, while the bellboys graciously attended to our luggage with a smile and subsequently took us on a quick tour of our rooms. Each morning, we were treated to a satisfying breakfast offering a variety of healthy options, albeit not as extensive as some establishments, yet still remarkably delicious. Thanks to the dedicated housekeeping staff who ensured our comfort with their attentive care, despite the language barriers. We must especially commend the exemplary service provided by the bellboy, Eren, whose name we regrettably may have misspelled. As we reflect on our delightful experience, we certainly look forward to staying at the Antusa Palace Hotel during our next journey to Istanbul, hopeful that its exceptional standards of hospitality will remain as delightful as ever.

Not a guest at the hotel but had dinner here this evening and it was excellent. Staff were very friendly and the food was really good. We sat outside with the heater on and it was very comfy. I had the beef kebab in a clay pot (Testi kebab) Would highly recommend. The pistachio crepe for dessert was lush.

What a great hotel! It was clean, AC worked well, room tidied every day, nice breakfast spread, perfect location, quiet at night. But most of all was the staff! The gentlemen at the front were AMAZING and so helpful with arranging our guided tour and transport to the airport at very reasonable prices. They were just fun to talk to as well. Impressed with my seat here!

Perfect location ( incidentally across the road from the other hotel I described as having the perfect location ... Tan Hotel).

Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. It's amazing they felt offended when I even offered to pay for tea or coffee out of breakfast time....all on the house.

They were all really good with our 2 little boys.
