My stay at Antusa Design Hotel & Spa hotel was a positive experience, primarily due to its excellent location and amenities.
The hotel is centrally located, with major attractions like the Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern, Topkapı Palace, The Blue Mosque within easy walking distance.
Our room provided an impressive view of the Hagia Sophia. The rooftop restaurant offered panoramic views of the old city and the sea during breakfast.
A decent breakfast was included. I especially enjoyed being able to order a superb Turkish coffee, which was the perfect way to get energized in the morning.
The staff was consistently friendly and helpful.
The spa center was a significant plus. It featured a traditional Turkish bath and offered a massage, which was excellent and came with a 20% discount for hotel guests. It was a great way to relax after a long day of walking.
The only minor drawback was that the hotel is not brand new. You could see some wear-and-tear in certain areas, which showed its age. However, this was a small detail that didn't detract from our overall positive experience.
We had a great stay at this hotel. Clean, great breakfast with the view of Hagia Sofia and close to everything that we wanted to see. All the people were great to us from the waiter to the hotel manager Hamdullah Barman! Thank you so much for making us feel welcomed and helping us enjoy beautiful Istanbul! 🙏
Great staff. Especially Hassan, the lead waiter at the rooftop restaurant. Excellent menu for breakfast and dinner. We will return for sure. Too many other things to do around the hotel
We loved our 4-day stay in the Hotel, location, breakfast and in special the staff:
Reception: Hamdullah, Muhammed, Furkan
Bellboy Team: Doğan, Aydın, Burak
Housekeeping (3rd Floor): Leyla
Housekeeping (2nd Floor): Nurettin
Breakfast Saloon: Hasan, Revani, Nadir, Musa
We certainly recommend it to everyone.
Excellent service and helpful staff. Prime location for most important places

The location is super convenient and the rooms are spacious and clean. HOWEVER, we had a massive issue with sewage smell coming from the bathroom. I believe they tried to fix it as it was better (not gone by any means) after they sent a technician in but it really interfered with our enjoyment of the room. Think making
The staff at the front were amazing! Very professional and friendly! The hotel room for a family of 5 was exceptional. I would give this hotel 5 stars as our stay was perfect!
