Jeremy

United Kingdom, January 2025

5.2/10

My stay at Costera Hotel was quite disappointing, mainly due to the service and cleanliness issues, although the location was convenient for exploring Istanbul. The view from my room was lovely, but that wasn't enough to overshadow the overall experience. It felt like a missed opportunity for what could have been a much better trip.

Rooms

5.0

The room was smaller than I expected, with several basic items missing. The noise from the streets and poorly insulated walls made for a less relaxing environment.

Service

5.0

I encountered very rude staff who were dismissive and unhelpful. Each request felt like a burden to them, which was incredibly frustrating.

Location

8.0

The hotel is well-placed near main attractions like the Grand Bazaar and Blue Mosque, which made sightseeing convenient.

Dining

5.0

Breakfast was a letdown, often lacking in variety and sufficient food options. It was frustrating to continually ask for refills and deals with leftovers being served.

Facilities

5.0

Facilities like room service were available, but I didn't find them particularly helpful or reliable during my stay.

I had a decent stay at the Costera Hotel, but it wasn't without its issues. The staff was super accommodating, especially Oner and Monika, making my experience much better. However, the location had its downsides with steep streets to navigate, and I faced some hiccups with the lift that made accessing my room challenging.

Rooms

8.0

My room was lovely and clean but I encountered issues with the lift, which was out of service during my stay, making it tough for me to get upstairs after a long day. Overall, I'd rate the room experience as good.

Service

9.0

The staff really stood out. Oner at reception went out of his way to provide transport advice, and Monika even lent me her scarf when I was cold. They truly made my stay pleasant despite the lift trouble.

Location

7.0

While the hotel is close to a lot of tourist attractions and the historic center, the steep roads made getting around a bit of a workout. I had to walk a fair distance to the nearest tram station, which was a bit of a hassle.

Dining

8.0

The dining experience was quite nice, with great food from dedicated chefs. I appreciated their attention, especially when they prepped a takeaway breakfast for me when I had to leave early.

Facilities

7.0

Facilities included room service and laundry, which were convenient, though I did miss having an unproblematic lift to get around. There were perks, like the great air conditioning in my room.

United Kingdom, November 2024

6.0/10

I had a mixed experience at Costera Hotel. The location is great and close to many landmarks, but the room wasn't what I expected and had some issues. The service left a lot to be desired, especially with communication. Overall, I'm not sure I would return.

Rooms

5.0

I booked a standard king room, but it felt cramped and lacked proper soundproofing. I was disappointed that the fridge went off whenever I left the room. Plus, I noticed the cleaning wasn't up to par with just toilet paper being refilled, which felt unsanitary.

Service

5.0

The staff was not very welcoming, and I struggled with communication when I needed help. I felt dismissed when I requested to change rooms and was met with no support. It really added to my frustration during my stay.

Location

8.0

The hotel's location was pretty decent, just a short walk to a tram station and near major tourist attractions. Plus, I enjoyed the views from the rooftop, which were truly unbeatable.

Dining

5.0

I had the local focaccia bread which was nice, but overall dining options felt limited. The hotel could definitely enhance the food experience for guests.

Facilities

6.0

Facilities were basic. While I appreciated that room service and housekeeping were available, the extra charges for spa services felt a bit excessive. I also found the so-called 'self' hamam quite underwhelming.

5.4/10

My stay at Costera Hotel was good overall. The staff were exceptionally attentive, which made my experience very pleasant. However, the breakfast could have included more sweet options, and the room's air conditioning left something to be desired, as I had to keep the windows open at night.

Rooms

7.0

I stayed in a Standard King Room, which was nice and clean. However, it lacked a balcony, and I noticed that some other rooms nearby had them.

Service

10.0

The service was fantastic, especially thanks to the efforts of Mr. Huseyn and Onur at the reception. They went out of their way to help, even offering to drive me to the bus station when taxis were refusing short rides.

Location

9.0

The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance to the tram station and major attractions like the Grand Bazaar and the Blue Mosque, making it easy to explore Istanbul.

Dining

8.0

Breakfast had a great view, and while it offered good options, I felt it could have benefited from more pastries or something sweet to round it out.

Facilities

8.0

The hotel provided useful facilities like housekeeping and room service. Everything was well maintained, adding to the overall good value for money.

6.6/10

I enjoyed my stay at Costera Hotel, especially the beautiful view from my room. However, the breakfast options were quite limited and repetitive each morning. The hotel's location wasn't ideal either, being in a less desirable neighborhood. Overall, while there were positives, several aspects need improvement for a better experience.

Rooms

5.0

The King Room with Sea View offered a lovely view, and the bed was comfortable. The amenities were decent, though nothing stood out as special.

Service

5.0

Check-in went smoothly, but I had an issue with the taxi service provided. The receptionist charged excessively for a ride to the airport.

Location

5.0

The hotel was centrally located, near landmarks, but I felt the neighborhood lacked appeal.

Dining

5.0

Breakfast was decent with eggs and some cheeses, but I found the selection quite limited, especially for Turkish cuisine.

Facilities

5.0

The hotel featured standard facilities like room service and housekeeping, but I did struggle with cleanliness as the maid only took the trash on the first day.
