Cevahir Hotel Istanbul Asia

We had a business meeting, it was great.

A truly wonderful place! Beautiful atmosphere, impeccable cleanliness, and the staff are simply amazing. A perfect hotel for a relaxing stay at Cevahir Hotel İstanbul Asia.”

I stayed at the Cevahir on two separate but consecutive weeks, in two different rooms. One thing you need to bear in mind at this hotel - it is very warm! The AC does NOT cool the rooms, just warms them up. It was so warm in the room that in both rooms I had to leave the balcony door (first week) and window (second week) open to keep the room cool enough to sleep in. There was hot air blowing in the restaurant too, so I had to find a spot not being heated to stay cool. The staff were very helpful, attentive and friendly. Spoke pretty good English and could not have been more helpful during my stays. Both rooms were absolutely spotless, and were always ready for my return in the evening. I did notice a few little 'issues' with the rooms, like a blind not opening properly, a power socket that did not hold a travel adaptor in place (though another nearby worked without issue), some of the light switches did not work nor did the TV in the first room. Other than that I could not have had a nicer stay - room service food was superb. I had a cheese toastie on two occasions and a continental breakfast for dinner with fresh fruit, cheeses, jams, spreads, tea and orange juice and it was wonderful! The biggest issues I experienced at the hotel was the outside effects. In my first room I noticed an awful smell, which when I opened the balcony doors and looked down got a really good view of a large rubbish dump! A massive pile of garbage was directly below my 4th floor balcony, and it was dreadful. The other issue I noticed when keeping the door (and window in the second room) open overnight was the noise - there is quite a lot of road noise, not to mention dogs barking at all hours of the night. I completely understand this is outside of the hotels control, but I suggest finding a way to keep cool other than opening a window if possible. Breakfast in the restaurant was simply superb. A massive choice of cereals, fresh fruit and salad, cheeses, bakery items, eggs of various types, fresh pancakes (SO GOOD!) and many many more. I had a different breakfast every morning for 7 days without repeat, though I had the boiled eggs on more than one occasion. Overall - excellent.
