I booked my stay at the Azade Premier Hotel after reading a review in Rick Steves Istanbul guidebook, and for its location in Old Town within easy walking distance of Istanbul's major historical attractions. I had not expected the incredible service provided by the entire staff, beginning with Sinan and extending to every employee I encountered. The room was large, the bed incredible comfortable and the shower a perfect combination of rain and power. Two things highlighted my stay here; 1) on arriving I found I had left my phone on the airplane. Sinan tracked down the location where it would have ended up and then arranged for a taxi to deliver me to the exact airport door for me to enter. to my relief, the phone had been turned in and was soon back in my hands; and 2) I talked with Sinan about the foods I was looking forward to eating at breakfast and he arranged for them to be prepared for me the very next day. What more could I ask for. Hopefully I can return to Istanbul with my wife and will look to the Azade for service and comfort once again
