I had an overall disappointing experience at Abella Hotel. While the location was excellent, being close to the Blue Mosque and other attractions, the service left much to be desired. The rooms weren't very clean, and I faced issues with electricity during my stay. The breakfast on the rooftop provided nice views, but the selection was quite limited, which was a letdown for me.

Rooms

The room I stayed in was cramped and showed signs of neglect, with dust everywhere and a buzzing electricity issue that was never resolved. It felt more like a budget place than anything else.

Although some staff were friendly, the manager's attitude was a major downside. I felt very uncomfortable when dealing with him, and there seemed to be a lack of communication within the team regarding requests.

Breakfast on the rooftop had a great view, but I found the food selection disappointing. It was quite limited, with not much variety besides olives, and the dining experience overall didn't meet my expectations.
Facilities

Facilities were quite basic and did not include many options like a generator, which became evident during power outages. It felt inadequate for a proper hotel stay.

I enjoyed the central location of Abella Hotel, just a short walk from major attractions like the Blue Mosque, but my experience was hampered by certain issues. The breakfast was quite basic and often stale, while the wireless connection only worked in the lobby, which was inconvenient. Despite clean rooms and a lovely view, the overall experience felt overpriced given the service shortcomings.

I recently stayed at Abella Hotel and was quite disappointed. While the location near the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia was fantastic, the service and cleanliness fell short of my expectations. Rooms were not well maintained, and the breakfast options were limited. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this hotel for a pleasant stay in Istanbul.

My stay at the Abella Hotel was mixed. On the bright side, the location is fantastic, just a short walk from the iconic landmarks. However, my overall experience was marred by significant issues, including a disturbing incident of theft that was poorly handled by management and an unsettling level of noise at night.

Rooms
5.0
I had a large room on the 4th floor that offered a view, but it came with a musty smell that made my stay less pleasant. Noise at night was an issue, likely due to the room's proximity to the street.
Service

While some staff were friendly and tried to offer helpful service, I encountered a lack of attentiveness during my most pressing moments. They insisted I pay in cash upon arrival and were not supportive when I faced issues, leading to a frustrating experience overall.
Location

The hotel's location is its best feature, allowing easy access to attractions like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. It's also conveniently near a tram station, making it ideal for exploring the city.

Breakfast on the rooftop had good views but was often lacking in variety and quality. The items served were generally cold and sometimes ran out quickly, which was disappointing.

The hotel offered various facilities, but I found the internet service constantly dropped, making it difficult to stay connected. There were also unexpected charges for laundry services, which added to my frustration.

My stay at Abella Hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The location is fantastic, just a stone's throw from major sites like the Blue Mosque. Unfortunately, I faced a frustrating situation with my room arrangement and lack of promised reimbursements. Despite the friendly staff, the service had its chaotic moments, especially during meal times.
